Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
1Are we beginning again to commend ourselves? Or do we need, as do some, letters of commendation to you or from you?
1Ngaiani nakaldra woniai munta jurakokaterila? Ngaiani palpani jeribaka jurakokaterini dakani jaura jurangu kara, jurangundru kara ngamalkananto?
2You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men,
2Jura dakani jaura ngaianini nganai, ngaianingu ngarani matja dakana, ninaia kana warupotujeli ngujamai ja warapai.
3being revealed that you are a letter of Christ, served by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tablets of stone, but in tablets that are hearts of flesh.
3Jura wondraterina warai, jura Christuni dakani jaura nganai, ngaianini ngamalkijiribanali matja ngankingana, wata marujeli matja dakana, a‐ai, tepia Godaia Jaolali, wata marda pirrapirrani, a‐ai, kana ngaraia pirrapirrani. (Dakani jaura G. D. 12 Trinitatis.)
4Such confidence we have through Christ toward God,
4Jenipara morlalu ngundrana ngaiani ngamalkai Christungundru Godani.
5not that we are sufficient of ourselves to account anything as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God,
5Wata ngaiani ngurunguru nganai minakulno ngundrala ngaianingundru muntali, a‐ai, ngaianini ngurungurula Godandru nganai.
6who also made us sufficient as servants of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
6Nulupini bakana ngaianina ngurunguru ngankana wonti Testamenta marraia ngamalkijiribanietja nganala, wata malkaia, a‐ai, Jaolaia, ngangau malkali nari ngankai, ja Jaolali tepi ngankai.
7But if the service of death, written engraved on stones, came with glory, so that the children of Israel could not look steadfastly on the face of Moses for the glory of his face, which was passing away,
7Naria ngamalkijiribani, nina malkali mardani matja dakana, njiranjirarini ngamalkana wonti, jeruja Israelani kupa ngandandarina wonti Mosini mudla najila nunkani mudlaia njiranjirarinandru, nau mudana wonti;
8won’t service of the Spirit be with much more glory?
8Worderu morla Jaolaia ngamalkijiribani njiranjirarila nganai?
9For if the service of condemnation has glory, the service of righteousness exceeds much more in glory.
9Ngangau dikidikibani ngamalkijiribani njiranjirarinani, worderuntja morla talkulaia ngamalkijiribani pirna njiranjirarila nganai.
10For most certainly that which has been made glorious has not been made glorious in this respect, by reason of the glory that surpasses.
10Ngangau njiranjirarina panini njiranjirarini nganai nunkangupini njiranjirarini morla pirnandru.
11For if that which passes away was with glory, much more that which remains is in glory.
11Ngangau jenipara mina mudai njiranjirarini ngamalkanani, jeruja jenipara nauja milingeru parai morla pirna ngamalkai.
12Having therefore such a hope, we use great boldness of speech,
12Ngangau ngaiani jenia kalkani ngamalkai, ngaiani manubakupirna nganai.
13and not as Moses, who put a veil on his face so that the children of Israel wouldn’t look steadfastly on the end of that which was passing away.
13Ja ngaiani wata Mosili jeribaka, nau katieli mudla nunkani walpadakaterina wonti, Israelani kupali mudani nunkani wata najinanto, nau mudananto;
14But their minds were hardened, for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remains, because in Christ it passes away.
14Tanani tjuru ngurunguru pantjina wonti; ngangau karari ditjielu naupini kati parai, tanali Testamenta waru warapanani, ja wata tanangundru kutingai, ngangau Christungu naupini mudai.
15But to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart.
15A‐ai, karari ditjielu, tanali Moses warapanani, walpadakani tanangu ngarani parai.
16But whenever someone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
16Tana Kaparani matja karitjinani, Nulia walpadakani tanangundru dukarala nganai.
17Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
17Kaparali Jaola nganai; woderi Kaparaia Jaola nganai, naka kurakani parai.
18But we all, with unveiled face seeing the glory of the Lord as in a mirror, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord, the Spirit.
18Ngaiani pratjana, dukaranaia mudlali Kaparaia njiranjirarini milkitjerini najiai, ngaianina Nulia nunkangupini mudlani karitjimalkala nganai pirnalandru pirnalaia Kaparandru jeribaka, Nauja Jaola nganai.
