Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
1Now concerning the things about which you wrote to me: it is good for a man not to touch a woman.
1Nunkangundru, mina jura ngakangu dakanala, ngani jatai: Ngumu nganai kanani, nulu widla wata karanani;
2But, because of sexual immoralities, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.
2Windri palakantjindru materali widla nunkani ngamalkaiatimai, ja widlali materi nankani ngamalkaiatimai.
3Let the husband give his wife the affection owed her, and likewise also the wife her husband.
3Materali widlani jinkinanto, mina nulu nankangu wilpanto nganai; jeruja bakana widlali materani.
4The wife doesn’t have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise also the husband doesn’t have authority over his own body, but the wife does.
4Widlali nankani palkuni wata ngurula ngamalkai, a‐ai, materali; jeruja bakana materali nunkani palkuni wata ngurula ngamalkai, a‐ai, widlali.
5Don’t deprive one another, unless it is by consent for a season, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer, and may be together again, that Satan doesn’t tempt you because of your lack of self-control.
5Wata kulno ngadatikibau kulnuni, windri judla kulnukulnuni ngananani miljaru kulnuwirdi, jura ngara ngamani ngamalkananto milja ngamanaia ja ngatjinaia; ja nakaldra jelarialumai, Satanali judlana wontjaiati judlani waltowaltundru.
6But this I say by way of concession, not of commandment.
6Jenia ngani jatai manuni kurana jeribaka, ja wata jirijiribana jeribaka.
7Yet I wish that all men were like me. However, each man has his own gift from God, one of this kind, and another of that kind.
7Ngato ngantjai, kana pratjana ngakangu jeribaka nganananto; windri pratjana pilkipilkieli Godandru nunkani manjulaia poto pilki ngamalkai, kulnujeli jeruja, kulnujeli jeruja.
8But I say to the unmarried and to widows, it is good for them if they remain even as I am.
8Ngani mantakani ja mangawaruni jatai: Tanangu ngumu nganai, tana ngakangu jeribaka ngamanani.
9But if they don’t have self-control, let them marry. For it’s better to marry than to burn with passion.
9Tana ngandandarinani ngamalkaterila, tanali noa patananto; ngangau morla ngumu nganai, tanali noa patanani, baka pirna ketjaketjanani.
10But to the married I command—not I, but the Lord—that the wife not leave her husband
10Tanangu pintani ngato jirijiribai, wata ngato, a‐ai, Kaparali, widla materandru wata puntibateriatimai;
11(but if she departs, let her remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband not leave his wife.
11Nani kantji puntibaterinani, nandru noa pani ngamananto kara, materani murlali pantjinanto kara; ja materali widla wata worarananto.
12But to the rest I—not the Lord—say, if any brother has an unbelieving wife, and she is content to live with him, let him not leave her.
12Tanangu nguruni ngani jatai, wata Kapara: Ngatata kulnujeli noa ngamalkanani, nandru wata morlalu ngundranani, ja nandru kulnukulnuni ngananani nunkangu jela ngamala, nulu nana wata worarananto.
13The woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he is content to live with her, let her not leave her husband.
13Bakana widlali noa ngamalkanani, nulu wata morlalu ngundranani, ja nulupini kulnukulnuni ngananani nankangu jela ngamala, nandru nina wata worarananto.
14For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in the husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy.
14Ngangau materi, nulu wata morlalu ngundranani, kulikiri nganai widlani; ja widla, wata morlalu ngundranani, kulikiri nganai materani; jenia wata ngananani, kupa jurani murumuru ngananani, karari tana kulikiri nganai.
15Yet if the unbeliever departs, let there be separation. The brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called us in peace.
15Nulu wata morlalu ngundranani, nau puntinanto; ngatata kara, kaku kara, tanangupini potuni wata dupudupu nganai. Murlani Godali ngaianina karkana warai;
16For how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?
16Ngangau jundru milkila, widlajai, jundru materi kulkala nganai kara? Jidni milkila, materiai, jundru widla kulkala nganai kara?
17Only, as the Lord has distributed to each man, as God has called each, so let him walk. So I command in all the assemblies.
17Windri worderu Kaparali kulnuni jinkina warai, worderu Godali kulno karkana warai, jeruja nau wirarinanto. Ja jeruja ngato mili wolara pratjanani jirijiribai.
18Was anyone called having been circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Has anyone been called in uncircumcision? Let him not be circumcised.
18Nulia kulno karuwalila karkana warai, nulu wata karuwalila panini jeri ngankaterinanto; Nulia kulno karuwalila panini karkana warai, nulu wata karuwalila pantjinanto.
19Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but what matters is keeping God’s commandments.
19Karuwalila panila nganai, ja karuwalila panini panila nganai, windri Godaia jirijiribani jaura ngamalkala.
20Let each man stay in that calling in which he was called.
20Pratjana nunkangupini karkanilani ngamaiatinimai, nunkanali Nulia tanana matja karkana.
21Were you called being a bondservant? Don’t let that bother you, but if you get an opportunity to become free, use it.
21Jidni kanaia mili matja karkana, wata manujeli ngundrau, jidni ngurunguru nganai kurakaterila, kurakateriau!
22For he who was called in the Lord being a bondservant is the Lord’s free man. Likewise he who was called being free is Christ’s bondservant.
22Ngangau worana Kaparani kanaia mili matja karkana, nau Kaparaia kurakanila nganai; jeruja bakana, worana kurakanila matja karkana, nau Christuja mili nganai.
23You were bought with a price. Don’t become bondservants of men.
23Kalala pirnali Nulia jurana burungankana wonti; wata kanaia mili pantjianau!
24Brothers, let each man, in whatever condition he was called, stay in that condition with God.
24Ngatata worajai, pratjana nunkangu ngamananto Godani, worderu Nulia nina karkana warai.
25Now concerning virgins, I have no commandment from the Lord, but I give my judgment as one who has obtained mercy from the Lord to be trustworthy.
25Mankarandru ngato wata Kaparaia jirijiribani jaura ngamalkai: ngato ngundrana ngankani kaukaubai, ngangau ngato Kaparandru kalumiltjamiltjarina manina wonti morlalu ngundrani nganala.
26Therefore I think that because of the distress that is on us, it’s good for a man to remain as he is.
26Jeruja ngato ngundrai, jenia ngumu nganai karari ketjaketjanandru, jenia kana kulnuni ngumu nganai jeruja nganala.
27Are you bound to a wife? Don’t seek to be freed. Are you free from a wife? Don’t seek a wife.
27Jidni widlani workamantraterina warai, wata wontiau nana worarala; jundru widla pani ngananani, wata widla wontiau.
28But if you marry, you have not sinned. If a virgin marries, she has not sinned. Yet such will have oppression in the flesh, and I want to spare you.
28Jundru kantji noa patana warai, jundru wata madlentji ngankana warai; ja mankarali noa patana warai, nandru bakana wata madlentji ngankana warai. Ketjaketjana palkujeli tanali ngamalkala nganai; ngato jurana kulkananto.
29But I say this, brothers: the time is short. From now on, both those who have wives may be as though they had none;
29Jenia ngani jatai, ngatata worajai, miljaru wordu nganai; ngangau bakana tanana, tanali noa ngamalkai, nganananto noa pani jeribaka; ja tana jindrala wapaia, jindrana pani jeribaka nganananto;
30and those who weep, as though they didn’t weep; and those who rejoice, as though they didn’t rejoice; and those who buy, as though they didn’t possess;
30Ja tana mankila wapaia, mankina pani jeribaka nganananto; ja tanali burungankala wapaia, poto pani jeribaka nganananto.
31and those who use the world, as not using it to the fullest. For the mode of this world passes away.
31Ja tanali ninapini mita ngamalkala wapaia, wata ngamalkana jeribaka nganananto; ngangau nunkanipini mitaia mudla mudai.
32But I desire to have you to be free from cares. He who is unmarried is concerned for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord;
32Ngato ngantjai, jura manujeli ngundrani pani nganananto. Mantaka materali manujeli ngundrai mina Kaparaia nganai, worderu nau Godaia ngantjani nganananto.
33but he who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how he may please his wife.
33Warle noa patana warai, mitaia manujeli ngundrai, worderu nau widlaia ngantjani nganananto.
34There is also a difference between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman cares about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But she who is married cares about the things of the world—how she may please her husband.
34Pilkipilki nganai widlani ja mankarani. Mantaka widlali manujeli ngundrai mina Kaparaia nganai, nani kulikiri nganananto palkujeli ja jaolali; nandru matja noa patana, nana manujeli ngundrai mina mitaia nganai, worderu nani materaia ngantjani nganananto.
35This I say for your own benefit, not that I may ensnare you, but for that which is appropriate, and that you may attend to the Lord without distraction.
35Jenia ngani jatai jurani ngumuja; ngato jurangu wata minti worananto, a‐ai, ngangau jenia ngumu nganai, jura milingeru ja wonki Kaparani nganananto.
36But if any man thinks that he is behaving inappropriately toward his virgin, if she is past the flower of her age, and if need so requires, let him do what he desires. He doesn’t sin. Let them marry.
36Kulnujeli ngundranani, nunkani mankarani nintali nganai, ngangau nunkani mankaraia ditji mudaiati, ja jenia jeruja pantjinanto, nulu ngankaiatimai mina nau jertapateriai, nulu wata madlentji ngankai; nana noa patananto.
37But he who stands steadfast in his heart, having no urgency, but has power over his own will, and has determined in his own heart to keep his own virgin, does well.
37Warle ngarali ngurunguru ngundranani, ja nunkangu wata nankanankana parai, ja ngurula ngamalkai nunkani jertapaterinani, ja nunkani ngarani jenia ngundrana warai, nunkani mankara ngamalkijiribala, nulu ngumu ngankai.
38So then both he who gives his own virgin in marriage does well, and he who doesn’t give her in marriage does better.
38Jeruja nulu ngumu ngankai, nulu noa patai; ja nulupini, nulu wata noa patai, nulu morla ngumu ngankai.
39A wife is bound by law for as long as her husband lives; but if the husband is dead, she is free to be married to whomever she desires, only in the Lord.
39Widla workamandrana nganai jirijiribani jaurandru, jeruntjaia ditji noa nankani tepi nganai; nankani noa matja palinani, nani kurakani nganai noa kulno patala worana nandru ngantjai, windri Kaparani.
40But she is happier if she stays as she is, in my judgment, and I think that I also have God’s Spirit.
40Nani morla murlali nganai, nani jeruja ngamanani, worderu ngato ngundrai. Ngato ngundrai, ngato bakana Godaia Jaola ngamalkai.
