Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
1And he said also to his disciples: There was a certain rich man who had a steward: and the same was accused unto him, that he had wasted his goods.
1Nau bakana milini nunkanani jatana wonti: „Kana kulno poto pirna nganana wonti, nulu ngamalkiribanietja ngamalkana wonti; ja nina tanali nunkangu ngulkuterkana wonti, ngangau nulu poto nunkani duljaduljamanala.“
2And he called him, and said to him: How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship: for now thou canst be steward no longer.
2Ja nulu nina karkana wonti ja nunkangu jatana wonti: „Mina ngato jinkangundru ngarai? Ngamalkijiribanandru windamau, ngangau jidni ngandandariai morla ngankijiribala.“
3And the steward said within himself: What shall I do, because my lord taketh away from me the stewardship? To dig I am not able; to beg I am ashamed.
3Ngamalkiribanietja warawarapaterina wonti: „Mina ngato ngankananto? Ngangau kaparali ngakanali ngamalkijiribanila ngakangundru maniai. Ngani ngandandariai bakula, ja ngani nintali nganai tjambatjambala,
4I know what I will do, that when I shall be removed from the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
4Ngani milkila, mina ngato ngankala nganai, nulu ngamalkijiribanila ngakangundru mamanani, tanali ngana patananto pungaia tananaia.“
5Therefore calling together every one of his lord’s debtors, he said to the first: How much dost thou owe my lord?
5Ja nulu kaparaia nunkanaia kana poto wilpanto kulno ja kulno karkana wonti ja ngoperalani jatana wonti: „Worderuntja jundru kaparani ngakanani poto wilpanto nganai?“
6But he said: An hundred barrels of oil. And he said to him: Take thy bill and sit down quickly, and write fifty.
6Nau jatana wonti: „100 koko gildi;“ ja nau nunkangu jatana wonti: „Talpadakani dakani jinkani patamai, ngamana ngariau, ja nurujeli dakamai 50.“
7Then he said to another: And how much dost thou owe? Who said: An hundred quarters of wheat. He said to him: Take thy bill, and write eighty.
7Ngadani nau kulnuni jatana wonti: „Ja jundru, worderuntja jundru poto wilpanto nganai?“ Nau jatana wonti: „100 billi buka tandra.“ Ja nau nunkangu jatana wonti: „Talpadakani dakani jinkani patau, ja dakamai 80.“
8And the lord commended the unjust steward, forasmuch as he had done wisely: for the children of this world are wiser in their generation than the children of light.
8Ja kaparali ngamalkiribanietja tjikatjika jurakokana wonti, ngangau nulu kiri ngankana wonti; ngangau nunkanipini mitaia kupa morla kiri nganai praitjaia kupani ngujani tananani.
9And I say to you: Make unto you friends of the mammon of iniquity; that when you shall fail, they may receive you into everlasting dwellings.
9Ja ngani jurangu jatai: „Jura jurangu muntali kamaneli ngankanimai mamon wata talkuni; ngangau nau mudanani, tanali jurana patala nganai punga nguralia.
10He that is faithful in that which is least, is faithful also in that which is greater: and he that is unjust in that which is little, is unjust also in that which is greater.
10Worana talku nganai wakawakani, nau bakana pirnani talku nganai; ja worana wata talku nganai wakawakani, nau bakana pirnani wata talku nganai.
11If then you have not been faithful in the unjust mammon; who will trust you with that which is the true?
11Jura mamon wata talkuni wata talkurinani, warle jurangu morlalulali jinkila nganai?
12And if you have not been faithful in that which is another’s; who will give you that which is your own?
12Ja jura tulani wata talkurinani, warle jurangu juranani jinkila nganai?
13No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
13Pungaia mili kulno ngandandariai kapara mandruni mili ngamala; nau kulnuni kalakalarila nganai, ja kulno nulu ngantjala nganai kara, kulnuni nau wodatarana ngamala nganai, ja kulnuni gilbarila nganai kara. Jura ngandandariai Godani ja Mamonani mili ngamala.“
14Now the Pharisees, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.
14Jenia pratjana Pharisaiali ngarana wonti, tanali mardatandra manujeli ngundrana wonti; ja tanali nina ngirkibana wonti.
15And he said to them: You are they who justify yourselves before men, but God knoweth your hearts; for that which is high to men, is an abomination before God.
15Nau tanangu jatana wonti: „Jura jenipara nganai, tana munta talku wondrateriai kanani, ja Godali ngara jurani ngujamai. Ngangau jenia, mina kanani pirna nganai, Godani tjikatjika nganai.
16The law and the prophets were until John; from that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every one useth violence towards it.
16Jirijiribani jaura ja Propheta Johaningulu; nunkangupini ditjindru tanali ngantjani jaura Godaia mililandru kaukaubai, ja kana pratjanali ngurujeli nunkangu jeniai.
17And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fall.
17Morla ngaua nganai pariwilpa ja mita mudanani, tjilpi waka kulno jirijiribani jaurandru purinani.
18Every one that putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and he that marrieth her that is put away from her husband, committeth adultery.
18Warlenulu noa nunkani worarai, ja kulno nguru patai, nulu pinta wokaribai; ja warlenulu jenipara, materali matja worarana, patai, bakana pinta wokaribai. (Ngantjani‐jaura G. D. 1. Trinitatis.)
19There was a certain rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen; and feasted sumptuously every day.
19Kana kulno poto pirna nganana wonti, nau kati tjanka waru ja maralje widmaterina wonti, ja ditjini warupotuni tepi ngumu ngankaterina wonti, ja mankina wonti.
20And there was a certain beggar, named Lazarus, who lay at his gate, full of sores,
20Ja kana wangiwangi nganana wonti, tala nunkani Lazarus, naupini punga manani nunkanani parana wonti gambanto.
21Desiring to be filled with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table, and no one did give him; moreover the dogs came, and licked his sores.
21Ja nau ngalkujeli nganana wonti buka murujeli jerturila, tana kana poto pirnaia kurlindru purinani; ja kintala wokarana wonti ja nina tapa talieli tapana wonti.
22And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom. And the rich man also died: and he was buried in hell.
22Jendranguta kana wangiwangi palina wonti, ja angelali nina taralkana wonti Abrahamangu ngalpaia. Ja kana poto pirna bakana palina wonti, ja tanali nina todina wonti.
23And lifting up his eyes when he was in torments, he saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom:
23Ja turuni nau milki tjenmana tarana wonti, ngangau nau ketjaketjanani nganana wonti; ja nulu Abraham woritandra najina wonti, ja Lazarus nunkangu ngalpani.
24And he cried, and said: Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, to cool my tongue: for I am tormented in this flame.
24Ja nau karkana wonti ja jatana wonti: «Ngaperiai Abraham, kalumiltjamiltjariau ngakangu, ja Lazarus jinpamai, nau maramoku ngapani multibaterinanto ngana tali malti ngankala; ngangau ngani pirna ketjaketjai nunkanguja turu jaolani.»
25And Abraham said to him: Son, remember that thou didst receive good things in thy lifetime, and likewise Lazareth evil things, but now he is comforted; and thou art tormented.
25Abraham jatana wonti: «Ngundrau ngatamurajai, ngumula jinkani jundru manina wonti tepiwirdi, ja Lazarulu madlentji manina wonti; ja karari nulu ninkida ngankalkana maniai, ja jundru ketjaketjana.
26And besides all this, between us and you, there is fixed a great chaos: so that they who would pass from hence to you, cannot, nor from thence come hither.
26Ja bakana dulkuru pirna parai ngaianingu ja jurangu terti, jeruja tana ninkidandru jertapaterinani jerra pararala, jenia ngandandariai, ja bakana tana ninkindrupara ngandandariai ngaianingu pararala.»
27And he said: Then, father, I beseech thee, that thou wouldst send him to my father’s house, for I have five brethren,
27Nau jatana wonti: «Ngani jinkangu ngatjiai, ngaperiai, jundru ninapara jinpananto ngakani ngaperaia pungaia.
28That he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torments.
28Ngangau ngatata mara wora ngato ngamalkai: tanangu nulupara morlalu kurananto, tana nunkangupini ketjaketjani pirini wokaraiati.»
29And Abraham said to him: They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
29Abraham nunkangu jatana wonti: «Tanali Mose ja Propheta worana ngamalkai, tanali tananaka ngaraiatinimai.»
30But he said: No, father Abraham: but if one went to them from the dead, they will do penance.
30Nau jatana wonti: «A‐ai, ngaperiai Abraham, narila kulno wokaranani, jeruja tana madlentjandru karitjila nganai.»
31And he said to him: If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they believe, if one rise again from the dead.
31Nau nunkangu jatana wonti: «Tanali Mose ja Propheta worana bulu ngaranani, tanali bakana wata morlalu ngundrala nganai narila terkakanani.»“
