Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
1For you yourselves know, brothers, our visit to you wasn’t in vain,
1Ngangau jura munta milkila, ngatata worajai, ngaianini wirini jurangu wata baku nganana wonti,
2but having suffered before and been shamefully treated, as you know, at Philippi, we grew bold in our God to tell you the Good News of God in much conflict.
2A‐ai, ngaiani ngopera, worderu jura milkila, Philippungu ketjaketjala wiri, ja tanali ngaianina jupala wiri, ngaiani murlali nganana wonti Godani ngaiananani, jurangu Godaia ngantjani jaura kaukaubala tirimalini pirnani.
3For our exhortation is not of error, nor of uncleanness, nor in deception.
3Ngangau ngaianini jaura wata jirijirindru, bakana wata murumurundru, bakana wata jedibanandru wokarai,
4But even as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the Good News, so we speak—not as pleasing men, but God, who tests our hearts.
4A‐ai, worderu Godali ngaianina talku ngundrana wonti ngantjani jaura kaukaubala, ninaia Nulia ngaianingu matja jinkina, jeruja ngaiani kaukaubai, wata kana murlali ngankala jeribaka, a‐ai, Goda, Nulia ngara ngaianina wontjai.
5For neither were we at any time found using words of flattery, as you know, nor a cloak of covetousness (God is witness),
5Ngangau ngaiani wata jaura jeljujeljujeli wokarana wonti, worderu jura milkila, ja wata ngukingukipaterina ngundranali, Goda tinkari ngankanietja nganai;
6nor seeking glory from men (neither from you nor from others), when we might have claimed authority as apostles of Christ.
6Ngaiani bakana wata pirnala wontiai kanandru, wata jurangundru, ja bakana wata ngurundru; kau, ngaiani ngurunguru nganana wonti Christuni Apostel jeribaka wondralkaterila.
7But we were gentle among you, like a nursing mother cherishes her own children.
7A‐ai, ngaiani malti wondraterina wonti jurangu terti, worderu ngamajinkinietjali kupa nankani ngamalkai,
8Even so, affectionately longing for you, we were well pleased to impart to you not the Good News of God only, but also our own souls, because you had become very dear to us.
8Jeruja ngaiani jurangu wolkareli ngantjana wonti ja jertapaterina wonti, wata windri Godaia ngantjani jaura jurangu kaukaubala, a‐ai, bakana tepi ngaianini jinkiterila, ngangau ngaiani jurana ngantjana wonti.
9For you remember, brothers, our labor and travail; for working night and day, that we might not burden any of you, we preached to you the Good News of God.
9Jura ngundrai, ngatata worajai, ngankani ja jigleri ngaianini: Tinkani ja ditjini ngaiani ngankana wonti, wata kulno jurangundru jupala, ngaiani Godaia ngantjani jaura jurangu matja kaukaubana.
10You are witnesses with God how holy, righteously, and blamelessly we behaved ourselves toward you who believe.
10Jura ja Goda tinkari ngankani nganai, worderu kulikiri ja talku ja madlentji pani ngaiani jurangu, jura morlalu ngundrai, pantjina wonti,
11As you know, we exhorted, comforted, and implored every one of you, as a father does his own children,
11Ngangau ngaiani, worderu jura milkila, kulnulu kulnulu jurangundru murlali ngankana wonti ja kurukurubana wonti, worderu Ngaperali nunkani kupa,
12to the end that you should walk worthily of God, who calls you into his own Kingdom and glory.
12Ja jurangu morlalu kurana wonti, jura nunkangupini Godani talku wirarinanto, Nulia jurana karkanala mililaia nunkanaia ja pirnalaia nunkanaia.
13For this cause we also thank God without ceasing that when you received from us the word of the message of God, you accepted it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, God’s word, which also works in you who believe.
13Jendrangundruja bakana ngaiani milingeru Goda jurakokai, ngangau jura Godaia ngantjani jaura ngaianingundru patana wonti, wata kana jaura jeribaka, a‐ai, mina nauja morlalu nganai, Godaia jaura jeribaka, nulia bakana jurangu ngankai, jura morlalu ngundrai.
14For you, brothers, became imitators of the assemblies of God which are in Judea in Christ Jesus; for you also suffered the same things from your own countrymen, even as they did from the Jews
14Jeruja bakana jura, ngatata worajai, Godaia mili wolarani, tana Christungu Jesungu Judaiani karipaterini pantjina warai, ngangau bakana jura ketjaketjana warai jurani nguralandru, worderu tanali Juda kanandru;
15who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and drove us out, and don’t please God, and are contrary to all men,
15Tanali Kapara Jesus nari ngankana wonti, worderu tanani Propheta bakana, ja ngaianingu tiri karipaterina wonti, tanana Godali wata ngantjai, ja kana pratjanani talpala tana nganai,
16forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved, to fill up their sins always. But wrath has come on them to the uttermost.
16Tanali ngaianina daudauai kana koni kaukaubananto tana tepi pantjinanto, ja tanali tanani madlentji manamiri ngankananto; tiri tanangu matja wokarana warai.
17But we, brothers, being bereaved of you for a short season in presence, not in heart, tried even harder to see your face with great desire,
17Ngaiani, ngatata worajai, miljaru wordu warawararina warai ngamuru jeribaka, windri mudlali, wata ngarali, a‐ai, ngaiani wolkareli pirna nganana warai jurani mudla najila.
18because we wanted to come to you—indeed, I, Paul, once and again—but Satan hindered us.
18Jendrangundruja ngaiani ngantjana warai jurangu wokarala, ngani Paulus pota kulno ja pota kulno nakaldra, ja Satanali ngaianina ngandrawalkana warai.
19For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Isn’t it even you, before our Lord Jesus at his coming?
19Worana kalkani ja mankini ja pirnalaia pirapira ngaianini nganai, ngaianani Kaparani Jesungu nunkani tikanani, jura wata jenia ngananani?
20For you are our glory and our joy.
20Kau, jura pirnala ja mankini ngaianini nganai.
