Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
1But concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need that anything be written to you.
1Ditjindru ja miljarandru, ngatata worajai, baku nganai jurangu dakala;
2For you yourselves know well that the day of the Lord comes like a thief in the night.
2Ngangau jura munta talku milkila, Kaparaia ditji wokarai, worderu kurikantji tinkani.
3For when they are saying, “Peace and safety,” then sudden destruction will come on them, like birth pains on a pregnant woman. Then they will in no way escape.
3Tana jatanani: Murla nganai ja japa pani, ngadani nurujeli tanangu tintani wokarai, worderu dankani ketjaketjana mandrantjani, ja tana bulu japa mindrila nganai.
4But you, brothers, aren’t in darkness, that the day should overtake you like a thief.
4Jura, ngatata worajai, wata ngalpurani ngamanau, nulupini ditjieli kurikantjieli jeribaka jurana pataiati.
5You are all children of light and children of the day. We don’t belong to the night, nor to darkness,
5Jura pratjana praitjaia kupa ja ditjia kupa nganai; ja ngaiana wata tinkandru ja ngalpurandru nganai.
6so then let’s not sleep, as the rest do, but let’s watch and be sober.
6Jeruja ngaiana wata mukaturarananto nguruni jeribaka, a‐ai, ngaiana tepi ja milja ngamananto.
7For those who sleep, sleep in the night; and those who are drunk are drunk in the night.
7Ngangau tana, tana mukaturarai, tinkani mukaturarai, ja tana, tana tapana parawarai, tana tinkani tapana parawarai;
8But since we belong to the day, let’s be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet, the hope of salvation.
8Ngaiana, ngaiana ditjindru nganai, milja ngamananto, morlalu ngundranaia ja ngantjanaia marda katieli matja widmaterina, ja kalkanaia kabuluru kulkanaia.
9For God didn’t appoint us to wrath, but to the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
9Ngangau Godali ngaianana wata kurana wonti tiria, a‐ai, tepi pirna manila Kapara ngaianani Jesungu Christungundru,
10who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
10Nauja ngaianangu palina wonti, ngangau ngaiana, tepi ngamanani kara mukaturaranani kara, nunkangunto tepi ngamananto.
11Therefore exhort one another, and build each other up, even as you also do.
11Jendrangundruja kurukurubijiribamalianimai ja wotijirimalianimai, worderu jura bakana ngankai.
12But we beg you, brothers, to know those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord and admonish you,
12Ngaiani jurangu ngatjiai, ngatata worajai, jura tanana ngujamananto, tanali jurangu ngankai, ja jurani kapara nganai Kaparani, ja jurana kurukurubai,
13and to respect and honor them in love for their work’s sake. Be at peace among yourselves.
13Ja jura tanana pirna ngundrananto ngantjanani, tanani ngankanandru. Murlali ngananau tanangunto.
14We exhort you, brothers: Admonish the disorderly; encourage the faint-hearted; support the weak; be patient toward all.
14Ngaiani jurana kurukurubai, ngatata worajai: Tjikatjikaetja daudauanau; kana burkaburka pirna ngankalkanau; kana waltowalto patanau; manju ngananau pratjanani.
15See that no one returns evil for evil to anyone, but always follow after that which is good for one another and for all.
15Ngamalkaterianau, wata kulnujeli madlentjandru kalala madlentji jinkinanto, a‐ai, milingeru ngumu pratjanaia mindrianau, ja ngankijiribamalianimai.
16Always rejoice.
16Milingeru mankianau;
17Pray without ceasing.
17Milingeru ngatjianau;
18In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you.
18Warupotuni jurakokanau; ngangau jenia Godaia jertapaterina nganai Christungu Jesungu jurangu.
19Don’t quench the Spirit.
19Jaola wata palimanau;
20Don’t despise prophecies.
20Talpadakani jaura wata waka ngundranau;
21Test all things, and hold firmly that which is good.
21Pratjana wontjanau; mina ngumu, jenia patanau;
22Abstain from every form of evil.
22Wata baka pilki jinkianau;
23May the God of peace himself sanctify you completely. May your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
23Murlaia Goda muntali jurana warupotuni kulikiri ngankau, ja jurani jaola ja mungara ja palku madlentji pani ngananau Kaparaia ngaiananaia Jesuni Christuni tikanaia.
24He who calls you is faithful, who will also do it.
24Wonki Nauja nganai, Nulia jurana karkai, Nulia jenia bakana ngankala nganai.
25Brothers, pray for us.
25Ngatata worajai, ngaianingundru ngatjianau!
26Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss.
26Mandurini jaura jinkianau ngatata pratjanani manatapana kulikirieli!
27I solemnly command you by the Lord that this letter be read to all the holy brothers.
27Ngato jurangu Kaparani jaura morlalu kurai, jura ninapini dakani jaura ngatata pratjanani warapananto.
28The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
28Ngaiananaia Kaparaia Jesuni Christuni manjula jurangunto nganaiatimai!
