Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
1So let a man think of us as Christ’s servants and stewards of God’s mysteries.
1Jeruja jura ngaianina Christuni mili ngundrananto, ja Godaia kurukurulaia ngamalkijiribanietja.
2Here, moreover, it is required of stewards that they be found faithful.
2Mina jura morla ngamalkijiribanietjani wontiai? Kulno talku mankamankananto.
3But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you, or by a human court. Yes, I don’t even judge my own self.
3Ngakangu jenia baku ngangai, jura kara kanaia ditji kara ngana wontjananto, ngangau ngani munta wata wontjateriai.
4For I know nothing against myself. Yet I am not justified by this, but he who judges me is the Lord.
4Ngani munta panila milkila, windri nunkangu ngani wata talku ngankateriai; Nulia ngana wontjai, Nauja Kapara nganai.
5Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each man will get his praise from God.
5Jeruja wata ditjini ngopera kalala kuranau Kapara wokaranantulu, Nulia praitjani kurala nganai ngalpuruja kurukurula, ja tinkari ngankala nganai ngara woraia ngundrana; ja ngadani pratjanani jurakokana pantjila nganai Godandru.
6Now these things, brothers, I have in a figure transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes, that in us you might learn not to think beyond the things which are written, that none of you be puffed up against one another.
6Jenia, ngatata worajai, ngani ngakangundru ja Apollongundru jatana warai jurangundru, ngangau jura ngalingundru kiririnanto, wata nunkangu morla pirna ngundraterinanto mina dakanala parai, ngangau jura wata kulnuni wombatjerananto kulnuni.
7For who makes you different? And what do you have that you didn’t receive? But if you did receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?
7Warle jidna pirna ngankana warai? Mina jundru ngamalkai, ninaia jundru wata maninala? Jundru ninaia morlalu matja maninani, minandru jidni jurakokateriai, jundru ninaia wata maninani?
8You are already filled. You have already become rich. You have come to reign without us. Yes, and I wish that you did reign, that we also might reign with you!
8Jura matja jerto nganai; jura kana poto pirnanto pantjina warai, ngalingu panini jura kapara pantjina warai. Ngumu nganananto jura kapara nganai, ngangau bakana ngali jurangu jela kapara nganananto.
9For I think that God has displayed us, the apostles, last of all, like men sentenced to death. For we are made a spectacle to the world, both to angels and men.
9Ngato ngundrai, Godali ngaianina Apostel worana ngadanietja terkibana warai, narini matja jinkina jeribaka; ngangau ngaiani wondrani malka pantjina warai mitalani ja angelani ja kanani.
10We are fools for Christ’s sake, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You have honor, but we have dishonor.
10Ngaiani patipati nganai Christungundru, jura kiri nganai Christungu; ngaiani waltowalto, jura ngurunguru; jura pirna, ngaiani pirnala pani.
11Even to this present hour we hunger, thirst, are naked, are beaten, and have no certain dwelling place.
11Karari ditjielu ngaiani mauali ja tertieli ngamai ja balu nganai, ja tanali ngaianina maramokujeli nandrai, ja piri pani ngaiani ngamalkai,
12We toil, working with our own hands. When people curse us, we bless. Being persecuted, we endure.
12Ja jiglerali ngaianini marali ngankai. Tanali ngaianingu kaldri jatanani, jeruja ngaiani ngurungutanani; tana ngaianingu tirikaripaterinani, jeruja ngaiani tanana patai;
13Being defamed, we entreat. We are made as the filth of the world, the dirt wiped off by all, even until now.
13Tanali ngaianina ngirkibanani, jeruja ngaiani jaura murlali jinkiai; mitalaia tarpani mita ngaiani pantjina warai, kana pratjanaia worani kararielu.
14I don’t write these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children.
14Wata jurana nintali ngankala ngato jenia dakai, a‐ai, ngato jurana ngakani kupa ngantjalu jeribaka kurukurubai.
15For though you have ten thousand tutors in Christ, you don’t have many fathers. For in Christ Jesus, I became your father through the Good News.
15Jura 10,000 wapalkanietja Christuni ngamalkanani, jeruja jura wata ngaperi marapu ngamalkai; ngangau Christungu Jesungu ngantjani jaurali ngato jurana kantji patana warai.
16I beg you therefore, be imitators of me.
16Jeruja ngato jurana kurukurubai, ngakangu karipaterianimai.
17Because of this I have sent Timothy to you, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, who will remind you of my ways which are in Christ, even as I teach everywhere in every assembly.
17Jendrania ngato Timotheus jurangu jinpana warai, nau ngakani kupa ngantjalu ja talku nganai Kaparani, nulu jurana mangatandra wilpa ngankala nganai ngakani palto Christungu, worderu ngato paruparu mili wolara pratjanani ngujangujara jinkiai.
18Now some are puffed up, as though I were not coming to you.
18Palpa jurangundru wombatjarai, ngangau tanali ngundrai, ngani wata wokarala nganai.
19But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord is willing. And I will know, not the word of those who are puffed up, but the power.
19Wolja ngani jurangu wokarala nganai, Kapara jertapaterinani, ja ngato ngujamala nganai wata wombatjaranietjaia jaura, a‐ai, ngurula.
20For God’s Kingdom is not in word, but in power.
20Ngangau wata jaurani Godaia milila parai, a‐ai, ngurulani.
21What do you want? Shall I come to you with a rod, or in love and a spirit of gentleness?
21Mina jura ngantjai? Ngani pitali jurangu wokarananto kara, ngantjanali ja Jaola manjujeli kara?
