Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
1Follow after love and earnestly desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.
1Ngantjanani karipaterianau; jiglerali ngankanau Jaolaia poto manila, ja morla pirna, jura talpadakananto.
2For he who speaks in another language speaks not to men, but to God, for no one understands, but in the Spirit he speaks mysteries.
2Ngangau warle tali pilkieli jatai, nau wata kanani, a‐ai, Godani jatai; wata kulnujeli jenia ngujamai, Jaolali nau kurukurula jatai.
3But he who prophesies speaks to men for their edification, exhortation, and consolation.
3Warle talpadakai, nau kanani jatai wotinaia, kurukurubanaia ja ngankalkanaia.
4He who speaks in another language edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the assembly.
4Warle tali pilkieli jatai, nau munta wotiteriai; warle talpadakai, mili wolara wotiai.
5Now I desire to have you all speak with other languages, but even more that you would prophesy. For he is greater who prophesies than he who speaks with other languages, unless he interprets, that the assembly may be built up.
5Ngato ngantjai, jura pratjana talieli jatananto, ja morla, jura talpadakananto; ngangau talpadakanietja morla pirna nganai tali pilki jatanietjani, windri nulu jenia bakana mildiri ngankananto mili wolara wotila.
6But now, brothers, if I come to you speaking with other languages, what would I profit you unless I speak to you either by way of revelation, or of knowledge, or of prophesying, or of teaching?
6Karari, ngatata worajai, ngani jurangu wokaranani tali pilki jatanietja, mina ngani jurangu ngumu nganai, ngato jurangu wata kaukaubanani tinkari ngankanali kara, ngujamanali kara, talpadakani jaurali kara, ngujangujarali kara?
7Even lifeless things that make a sound, whether pipe or harp, if they didn’t give a distinction in the sounds, how would it be known what is piped or harped?
7Wima poto tepi pani, wima koko kara, wima kata kara, taltjinganani ja ngaru wata pilki pilki ngankanani, worderu kanali ngujamananto mina tanali wima kokujeli pulkai kara, wima katali nandrai kara?
8For if the trumpet gave an uncertain sound, who would prepare himself for war?
8Ja wima koko ngaru walu jinkinani, worana ngankingaterinanto tirimalinaia?
9So also you, unless you uttered by the tongue words easy to understand, how would it be known what is spoken? For you would be speaking into the air.
9Jeruja bakana, jura tali pilkieli jaura karpakarpa jinkinani, worderu tanali jurani jaura ngujamananto? Jura jenipara nganala nganai, tanali ngaranani kaukaubai.
10There are, it may be, so many kinds of languages in the world, and none of them is without meaning.
10Tali nguja pilki pilki marapu mitani nganai, ja wata kulno tanangundru jaura pani wondrai.
11If then I don’t know the meaning of the language, I would be to him who speaks a foreigner, and he who speaks would be a foreigner to me.
11Ngato talia ngundrana wata ngujamanani, ngani kaukaubanietjani tula nganai, ja kaukaubanietja ngakangu tula.
12So also you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, seek that you may abound to the building up of the assembly.
12Jeruja bakana jura, ngangau jura jigleri nganai jaolaia potuja, jigleri ngananau mili wolaraia wotinaia, jura pirna pantjinanto.
13Therefore let him who speaks in another language pray that he may interpret.
13Jendrania tali pilki kaukaubanietja ngatjinanto, nulu jenia bakana mildiri ngankananto.
14For if I pray in another language, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.
14Ngani tali pilkieli ngatjinani, ngani jaolali ngatjiai, ja tjuru ngakani tandra pani nganai.
15What should I do? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also. I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.
15Mina karari? Ngani ngatjila nganai jaolali, ngani bakana ngatjila nganai tjurujeli; ngato wonkala nganai jaolali, ngato bakana wonkala nganai tjurujeli.
16Otherwise, if you bless with the spirit, how will he who fills the place of the unlearned say the “Amen” at your giving of thanks, seeing he doesn’t know what you say?
16Jundru Jaolali jurokokanani, worderu kana mangupunkujeli Amen jatananto jinkani jurakokanani, ngangau nau ko nganai mina jidni jatai.
17For you most certainly give thanks well, but the other person is not built up.
17Jundru ngumu jurakokai, windri jundru nguruni wata wotiai.
18I thank my God, I speak with other languages more than you all.
18Ngato Goda jurakokala wapaia, ngangau ngato tali pilkieli morla kaukaubai jurangu pratjanani.
19However, in the assembly I would rather speak five words with my understanding, that I might instruct others also, than ten thousand words in another language.
19Mili wolarani ngato morla ngantjai jaura mara wora tjurujeli ngakanali kaukaubala, ngangau ngato bakana nguruni ngujangujara jinkinanto, jaura 10,000 talieli.
20Brothers, don’t be children in thoughts, yet in malice be babies, but in thoughts be mature.
20Ngatata worajai, wata kupa waka pantjianau tjurujeli, a‐ai, madlentjali kupa pantjianau; tjurujeli manamiri pantjianau.
21In the law it is written, “By men of strange languages and by the lips of strangers I will speak to this people. They won’t even listen to me that way, says the Lord.”
21Jirijiribani jaurani dakanala parai: „Tali pilkieli ja manamimi pilkieli ngato tanangupini kana wolarani kaukaubala nganai, ja bakana wata jeruja tanali ngana ngarala nganai, Kapara jatai.“
22Therefore other languages are for a sign, not to those who believe, but to the unbelieving; but prophesying is for a sign, not to the unbelieving, but to those who believe.
22Jeruja tali pilki malka nganai, wata tanangu, tanali morlalu ngundrai, a‐ai, tanangu, morlalu ngundrani panini; talpadakani wata tanangu, tana morlalu ngundrani panini, a‐ai, tanangu, tanali morlalu ngundrai.
23If therefore the whole assembly is assembled together and all speak with other languages, and unlearned or unbelieving people come in, won’t they say that you are crazy?
23Mili wolara jurborinani, ja pratjanali talieli kaukaubanani, ja kana patipati kara kana morlalu ngundrani panini kara wirinani, tana wata jatala nganai jura jirijiri?
24But if all prophesy, and someone unbelieving or unlearned comes in, he is reproved by all, and he is judged by all.
24Pratjanali talpadakanani, ja kana morlalu ngundrani panini kara kana patipati kulno kara wirinani, pratjanali nina karkarkala nganai, ja pratjana nulu ngundrala nganai.
25And thus the secrets of his heart are revealed. So he will fall down on his face and worship God, declaring that God is among you indeed.
25Ja nunkani ngaraia kurukurula tinkari pantjila nganai; ja jeruja nau mudlani woraterila nganai ja Godani ngatjila nganai, ja kaukaubala nganai, kantji Goda jurangunto nganai.
26What is it then, brothers? When you come together, each one of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has another language, or has an interpretation. Let all things be done to build each other up.
26Mina karari nganai, ngatata worajai? Jura jurborinani, kulnujeli Psalma kulno ngamalkai, nulu ngujangujara kulno ngamalkai, tinkari ngankani kulno kara, nulu jaura tali pilkieli ngamalkai, nulu mildiri ngankani kulno ngamalkai. Jenia pratjana wotinaia pantjiatimai!
27If any man speaks in another language, let there be two, or at the most three, and in turn; and let one interpret.
27Kulnujeli tali pilkieli kaukaubanani mandrujeli kara parkulali kara jelali kaukaubananto, wata morla, ja kulnulu kulnulali, ja kulnujeli jenia mildiri ngankananto.
28But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in the assembly, and let him speak to himself and to God.
28Mildiri ngankanietja wata naka ngananani, nau ngapu nganananto mili wolarani. Nulu muntali ja Godani kaukaubananto.
29Let two or three of the prophets speak, and let the others discern.
29Propheta mandrujeli kara parkulali kara kaukaubananto, tanali palpali jenia wontjananto.
30But if a revelation is made to another sitting by, let the first keep silent.
30Kulnuni, nau naka ngamanani, jaura tinkari pantjinani, ngoperala ngapurinanto.
31For you all can prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all may be exhorted.
31Jura kulnulu kulnulali talpadakananto, ngangau pratjana kiririnanto, ja pratjanali kurukurubani maninanto.
32The spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets,
32Prophetaia jaolali Prophetani wodatarana ngamai;
33for God is not a God of confusion but of peace, as in all the assemblies of the saints.
33Ngangau Goda wata tjautjauja, a‐ai, murlaia Goda nganai.
34Let the wives be quiet in the assemblies, for it has not been permitted for them to be talking except in submission, as the law also says,
34Worderu mili wolara kulikirini pratjanani, jeruja bakana widla jurani mili wolarani ngapu nganananto; ngangau tanangu wata manuni kurala wapaia jatananto, a‐ai, tana wodatarana ngamananto, worderu bakana jirijiribani jaura jatai.
35if they desire to learn anything. “Let them ask their own husbands at home, for it is shameful for a wife to be talking in the assembly.”
35Tanali ngantjanani kiririla, tanali pungani noa tanani jakalkananto; ngangau widlani wata ngumu parai, mili wolarani kaukaubala.
36What!? Was it from you that the word of God went out? Or did it come to you alone?
36Jurangundru kara Godaia jaura dunkana wonti? Nauja kara windri jurangu wokarana wonti?
37If any man thinks himself to be a prophet or spiritual, let him recognize the things which I write to you, that they are the commandment of the Lord.
37Kulnujeli ngundranani nau Propheta nganai kara kana jaolanto kara, nulu ngujamaiatimai, mina ngato jurangu dakala wapaia, ngangau jenia Kaparaia jirijiribani jaura nganai.
38But if anyone is ignorant, let him be ignorant.
38Kulnu jenia wata ngujamanani, nulu wata ngujamaiatimai.
39Therefore, brothers, desire earnestly to prophesy, and don’t forbid speaking with other languages.
39Jeruja, ngatata worajai, jigleri ngankanau talpadakala, ja tali pilkieli kaukaubala wata ngandrawalkanau.
40Let all things be done decently and in order.
40Pratjana ngumu ja talku pantjiatimai.
