Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
1And there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.
1Kana kulno nganana wonti Pharisaiandru, tala nunkani Nikodemus, Juda kanaia kapara kulno.
2This man came to Jesus by night, and said to him: Rabbi, we know that thou art come a teacher from God; for no man can do these signs which thou dost, unless God be with him.
2Naupini Jesungu wokarana wonti tinkani, ja nunkangu jatana wonti: „Kaparajai, ngaiani milkila, jidni ngujangujara jinkinietja nganai Godandru wokaranala; ngangau wata kulno ngurunguru nganai tananapini malka ngankala, tanana jundru ngankai, Goda wata nunkangunto ngananani.“
3Jesus answered, and said to him: Amen, amen I say to thee, unless a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
3Jesujeli kalabana wonti ja nunkangu jatana wonti: „Morlalu, morlalu, ngani jinkangu jatai: Wata kana marra dankanani, nau ngandandariai Godaia milila najila.“
4Nicodemus saith to him: How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb, and be born again?
4Nikododemus nunkangu jatana wonti: „Worderu kana marra dankala nganai nau pirna ngananani? Nau poto mandrula ngandri mandrani wirinanto marra dankala?“
5Jesus answered: Amen, amen I say to thee, unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Ghost, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
5Jesujeli kalabana wonti: „Morlalu, morlalu, ngani jinkangu jatai: Warle wata marra dankanani ngapali ja Jaolali, nau ngandandarila nganai Godaia mililani wirila.
6That which is born of the flesh, is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit, is spirit.
6Mina palkujeli dankai, palku nganai; ja mina Jaolali dankai, Jaola nganai.
7Wonder not, that I said to thee, you must be born again.
7Wata ngaruparau, ngangau ngani jinkangu jatana warai: Jura marra dankananto.
8The Spirit breatheth where he will; and thou hearest his voice, but thou knowest not whence he cometh, and whither he goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
8Watara ngakai woderi nau jertapateriai ja birungana nunkani jundru ngarai, windri jundru wata ngujamai, woderindru nauja wokarai ja woderi ngakai; jeruja pratjana, tana Jaolandru dankai.“
9Nicodemus answered, and said to him: How can these things be done?
9Nikodemulu kalabana wonti ja nunkangu jatana wonti: „Worderu jenia pantjiai?“
10Jesus answered, and said to him: Art thou a master in Israel, and knowest not these things?
10Jesujeli kalabana wonti ja nunkangu jatana wonti: „Jidni ngujangujara jinkinietja nganai Israelani, ja jenia jundru wata ngujamai?
11Amen, amen I say to thee, that we speak what we know, and we testify what we have seen, and you receive not our testimony.
11Morlalu, morlalu, ngani jinkangu jatai: Ngaiani jatai mina ngaiani ngujamai, ja kaukaubai mina ngaiani najinala, ja ngaianini tinkari ngankani jura wata patai.
12If I have spoken to you earthly things, and you believe not; how will you believe, if I shall speak to you heavenly things?
12Ngani mitaia potundru jurangu jatanani, jura wata morlalu ngundranani; worderu morla jura wata morlalu ngundrala nganai, ngani pariwilpaia potundru jurangu jatanani?
13And no man hath ascended into heaven, but he that descended from heaven, the Son of man who is in heaven.
13Ja wata kulno pariwilpaia tarala wapaia, windri Nauja pariwilpandru ngarinala, Kanaia Ngatamura, Nauja pariwilpani nganai.
14And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of man be lifted up:
14Ja worderu Mosili pitarani tjutju miri ngankana wonti, jeruja tanali Kanaia Ngatamura miri ngankananto.
15That whosoever believeth in him, may not perish; but may have life everlasting.
15Ngangau pratjanali, nunkangu morlalu ngundranani, wata tintaterinanto, a‐ai, tepi ngurali ngamalkananto. (Ngantjani‐jaura Jaolali ditji mandrulani.)
16For God so loved the world, as to give his only begotten Son; that whosoever believeth in him, may not perish, but may have life everlasting.
16Ngangau jeruja Godali mitala ngantjana wonti, Nulia Ngatamura Kunakulno nunkani jinkina wonti, ngangau pratjanali tana nunkangu morlalu ngundranani, wata tintaterinanto, a‐ai, tepi ngurali ngamalkananto.
17For God sent not his Son into the world, to judge the world, but that the world may be saved by him.
17Ngangau Godali Ngatamura nunkani wata mitani jinpana wonti kalala kurala, a‐ai, Nulu mitala kulkananto.
18He that believeth in him is not judged. But he that doth not believe, is already judged: because he believeth not in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
18Warlenulu ninaia morlalu ngundranani wata kalala maninani; ja warlenulu wata morlalu ngundranani kalala matja manina, ngangau nulu Godaia Ngatamuraia Kunakulnuja talani wata morlalu ngundrai.
19And this is the judgment: because the light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than the light: for their works were evil.
19Naupini kalala nganai: Praitji mitani wokarana wonti, ja kanali ngalpuru morla ngantjana wonti praitjani; ngangau ngankana tananani madlentji nganana wonti.
20For every one that doth evil hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, that his works may not be reproved.
20Ngangau warle madlentji ngankai, praitjani kalakalariai, ja wata praitjani wokarai, ngankana nunkani tinkari pantjiati.
21But he that doth truth, cometh to the light, that his works may be made manifest, because they are done in God.
21Warle morlalulali ngankanani, praitjani wokarala nganai, ngangau ngankana nunkani tinkari pantjinanto, ngangau tanali Godani ngankana warai.“
22After these things Jesus and his disciples came into the land of Judea: and there he abode with them, and baptized.
22Ngadani Jesus ja mili nunkani Judaia mitani wokarana wonti; ja naka Nau ngamana wonti tanangunto ja multibana wonti.
23And John also was baptizing in Ennon near Salim; because there was much water there; and they came and were baptized.
23Ja bakana Johannili multibana wonti Ainoni, Salimingu karakara, ngangau ngapa marapu naka nganana wonti; ja tana wokarana wonti ja multibanila manina wonti.
24For John was not yet cast into prison.
24Ngangau jendranguta Johannes wata kanjangarini ngamana wonti.
25And there arose a question between some of John’s disciples and the Jews concerning purification:
25Johannini milindru jatamalina pantjina wonti Juda kanani kulirkanandru.
26And they came to John, and said to him: Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond the Jordan, to whom thou gavest testimony, behold he baptizeth, and all men come to him.
26Ja tana Johanningu wokarana wonti ja nunkangu jatana wonti: „Rabbi, Naupini jinkangu nganana paraia Jordan kaiarani jerankari, nunkangundru jundru tinkari ngankana paraia, mai, Nau multibai, ja pratjana nunkangu wokarai.“
27John answered, and said: A man cannot receive any thing, unless it be given him from heaven.
27Johannili kalabana wonti ja jatana wonti: „Kana kulnujeli ngandandariai palpa manila, nunkangu wata ngopera jinkinala pariwilpandru.
28You yourselves do bear me witness, that I said, I am not Christ, but that I am sent before him.
28Jura muntali ngakangu tinkari ngankai, ngani jatana paraia: Ngani wata Christus nganai, a‐ai, Nulu ngana jinpana wonti nunkangu ngopera.
29He that hath the bride, is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth with joy because of the bridegroom’s voice. This my joy therefore is fulfilled.
29Warle talpadakani noa ngamalkai, nau noangantjanipirna nganai; ja noangantjanipirnaia kamaneli, nau terkai ja nina ngarai, pirna mankiai noangantjanipirnaia ngaialandru. Naupini mankina pirna ngakani karari manamiri nganai.
30He must increase, but I must decrease.
30Nau pirnarinanto, ngani wakarinanto.
31He that cometh from above, is above all. He that is of the earth, of the earth he is, and of the earth he speaketh. He that cometh from heaven, is above all.
31Naupini mirindru wokarai morla pirna nganai pratjanani. Worana mitandru nganai, nau mitandru nganai ja mitandru jatai; Nau pariwilpandru wokarai morla pirna nganai pratjanani.
32And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth: and no man receiveth his testimony.
32Mina Nulu najina wonti ja ngarana wonti jenia Nulu tinkari ngankai, ja tinkari ngankani nunkani wata kulnujeli patai.
33He that hath received his testimony, hath set to his seal that God is true.
33Warle tinkari ngankani nunkani patana warai, nulu jenia morlalu kurana warai Goda morlalu nganai.
34For he whom God hath sent, speaketh the words of God: for God doth not give the Spirit by measure.
34Ngangau worana Godali jinpana wonti, Nulu Godaia jaura kaukaubai; ngangau Godali wata Jaola ngalje jinkiai nunkangu.
35The Father loveth the Son: and he hath given all things into his hand.
35Ngaperali Ngatamura ngantjai, ja pratjana Nulia marani nunkanani jinkina wonti.
36He that believeth in the Son, hath life everlasting; but he that believeth not the Son, shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
36Warlenulu Ngatamurani morlalu ngundrai, nulu tepi ngurali ngamalkai; worana Ngatamurani wata pankiai, nulu tepita wata najila nganai, a‐ai, Godaia tiri nunkangu milingeru parai.“
