Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
1This is a faithful saying: someone who seeks to be an overseer desires a good work.
1Morlalu naupini jaura nganai: Kulnujeli ngantjanani jaurajinkinietjaia ngamalkijiribani manila, nulu ngankana ngumu ngantjai.
2The overseer therefore must be without reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, sensible, modest, hospitable, good at teaching;
2Jaura jinkinietja madlentji pani nganananto, widla kulnuja noa, baka nguru, kalu nguru, maramanju, tidnapalarani manju, ngujangujarani kiri,
3not a drinker, not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous;
3Wata tapanietja, wata tirietja, a‐ai, malti, jatamalini ja ngukingukibaterini pani,
4one who rules his own house well, having children in subjection with all reverence;
4Nulu punga nunkani ngumu najinajibai, ja nunkani kupa pankinani ngumu ngamalkai talkula pratjanali.
5(for how could someone who doesn’t know how to rule his own house take care of God’s assembly?)
5Kulno wata kiri ngananani nunkani punga ngumu najinajibala, worderu nulu Godaia mili wolara ngamalkijiribananto?
6not a new convert, lest being puffed up he fall into the same condemnation as the devil.
6Wata mili marra, nau wombatjaraiati ja ngulkuterkanietjaia kalalani puriati.
7Moreover he must have good testimony from those who are outside, to avoid falling into reproach and the snare of the devil.
7Tanali palarani nunkangundru jurakokani jaura ngumu ngamalkananto, nau wata ngirkibanani ja ngulkuterkanietjaia wirini purinanto.
8Servants, in the same way, must be reverent, not double-tongued, not addicted to much wine, not greedy for money,
8Jeruja bakana mili talku nganananto, wata tali pudla mandru ngamalkananto, wata waina pirna tapananto, wata murumurujeli ngukingukibaterinanto.
9holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.
9Tanali morlalu ngundranaia kurukurula ngara kulikirini ngamalkananto.
10Let them also first be tested; then let them serve if they are blameless.
10Ja (kaparali) tanana ngopera wontjananto, ngadani tana ngamalkijiribani tanani woninanto, tana madlentji pani ngananani.
11Their wives in the same way must be reverent, not slanderers, temperate, and faithful in all things.
11Jeruja bakana widla nganananto, talku, wata kuringulkuterkanietja, baka nguru, morlalu warupotuni.
12Let servants be husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.
12Mili widla kulnuja noa nganananto, tanali tanani kupa ja tanani punga ngumu najinajibananto.
13For those who have served well gain for themselves a good standing and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
13Tana matja mili ngumu ngamana warai, tana witta ngumu ja manubaku pirna patai morlalu ngundranani Christungu Jesungu.
14These things I write to you, hoping to come to you shortly,
14Jenia ngato jinkangu dakai, ja ngundrai, jinkangu wolja wokarala;
15but if I wait long, that you may know how men ought to behave themselves in God’s house, which is the assembly of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
15Ngani juri ngamanani kara, jundru ngujamananto, worderu Godaia pungani ngamananto, nauja tepia Goda mili wolara nganai; morlalulaia marda pantja, ja marda kapara.
16Without controversy, the mystery of godliness is great: God was revealed in the flesh, justified in the spirit, seen by angels, preached among the nations, believed on in the world, and received up in glory.
16Ja talkulaia kurukurula kantji pirna nganai: Godali wondraterina wonti palkuni, talku pantjina wonti Jaolani, angelani wondraterina wonti, kana koni kaukaubana wonti, mitala morlalu ngundrana wonti, pirnalani tarana wonti.
