Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
1Moreover, brothers, we make known to you the grace of God which has been given in the assemblies of Macedonia,
1Ngaiani jurangu kaukaubai, ngatata worajai, Godaia manjula, ninaia mili wolarali Macedoniani maninala,
2how in a severe ordeal of affliction, the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded to the riches of their generosity.
2Worderu tanana ketjaketjana marapujeli pirna mankina paraia, ja tanani wangiwangi pirnani tanali marapu jinkina paraia poto pirnaia talkulaia.
3For according to their power, I testify, yes and beyond their power, they gave of their own accord,
3Mina tana ngurunguru nganana paraia, ngato jenia morlalu kurai, ja morla tanali jinkina paraia muntali,
4begging us with much entreaty to receive this grace and the fellowship in the service to the saints.
4Ja jaura marapujeli tana ngaianingu ngatjina paraia, ngaiani poto ngumu ja marangokijiribamalini kana kulikiria maninanto.
5This was not as we had expected, but first they gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us through the will of God.
5Ja wata jeruja, worderu ngaiani ngundrana paraia, a‐ai, tana ngopera Kaparani jinkiterina paraia, ja ngadani ngaianingu Godaia jertapaterinandru,
6So we urged Titus, that as he had made a beginning before, so he would also complete in you this grace.
6Jeruja ngaiani Titus kurukurubana warai, worderu nulia ngopera wonina paraia, jeruja nulia bakana jurangu jenia poto ngumu mudananto.
7But as you abound in everything—in faith, utterance, knowledge, all earnestness, and in your love to us—see that you also abound in this grace.
7Worderu jura warupotuni pirna nganai, morlalu ngundranali, ja jaurali, ja ngujamanali, ja jigleri marapujeli, ja jurani ngantjanali ngaianingu, jeruja jura bakana pirna nganananto nunkangupini poto ngumuni.
8I speak not by way of commandment, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity also of your love.
8Wata jirijiribana jeribaka ngani jenia jatai, a‐ai, ngangau mili wolara pilki jigleri nganai, ngato bakana jurani ngantjana wontjananto, nauja talku nganai kara.
9For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that you through his poverty might become rich.
9Ngangau jura ngaiananaia Kaparaia Jesuni Christuni manjula ngujamai, Nauja poto pirna nganana wonti, ja jurangundru wangiwangi pantjina wonti, jura nunkani wangiwangindru poto pirna pantjinanto.
10I give advice in this: it is expedient for you who were the first to start a year ago, not only to do, but also to be willing.
10Ja karari ngani jurangu jatai ngakani ngundrana; ngangau jenia jurangu ngumu nganai, jura wata windri ngankana, a‐ai, bakana jertapaterina wonina wonti kilpawoldra kulnuni ngopera.
11But now complete the doing also, that as there was the readiness to be willing, so there may be the completion also out of your ability.
11Karari bakana ngankana mudanau; ngangau worderu jura manju nganana wonti jertapaterila, jeruja bakana manju ngananau ngankala nunkangundru, mina jura ngamalkai.
12For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according to what you have, not according to what you don’t have.
12Ngangau jertapaterina pararani, nauja talku nganai, worderu nulia ngamalkai, wata jeruja, worderu nulia wata ngamalkai.
13For this is not that others may be eased and you distressed,
13Wata jendrania, mili wolara pilki ngara ngamananto ja jura ketjaketjananto, a‐ai, pratjana jeribaka nganananto.
14but for equality. Your abundance at this present time supplies their lack, that their abundance also may become a supply for your lack, that there may be equality.
14Karari miljarani jurani poto manamiri tanani wangiwangilani pantjinanto, bakana tanani poto manamiri jurani wangiwangilani pantjinanto, ngangau pratjana jeribaka nganananto.
15As it is written, “He who gathered much had nothing left over, and he who gathered little had no lack.”
15Worderu dakanala parai: „Warle marapu kampana warai, wata manamiri ngamalkana warai; ja warle ngalje kampana warai, wata wordu nganana warai.“
16But thanks be to God, who puts the same earnest care for you into the heart of Titus.
16Godani jurakokana nganaiatimai, Nulia ninapini jigleri jurangundru Titungu ngarani kurai.
17For he indeed accepted our exhortation, but being himself very earnest, he went out to you of his own accord.
17Nulia kurukurubani jaurani ngakanani pankina paraia, ja ngangau nau munta jigleri pirna nganai, nau jurangu palkana paraia.
18We have sent together with him the brother whose praise in the Good News is known throughout all the assemblies.
18Ngaiani nunkangu jelali nina ngatata jinpana paraia, nina mili wolara pratjanali ngantjani jaurani jurakokai.
19Not only so, but he was also appointed by the assemblies to travel with us in this grace, which is served by us to the glory of the Lord himself, and to show our readiness.
19Wata windri jenia, a‐ai, nina bakana mili wolarali kurana paraia ngaianini jelapalkanietja nunkangupini poto ngumundru, nina ngaiani ngankingai Kaparaia pirnalaia ja jurani jertapaterinaia.
20We are avoiding this, that any man should blame us concerning this abundance which is administered by us.
20Ja jeruja ngaiani ngandrawalkai, wata kulnujeli ngaianingu jaura madlentji jatananto nunkangupini poto pirnandru, nina ngaiani ngankingai.
21Having regard for honorable things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.
21Ngangau ngaiani ngundrai mina ngumu nganai, wata windri Kaparani, a‐ai, bakana kanani.
22We have sent with them our brother whom we have many times proved earnest in many things, but now much more earnest, by reason of the great confidence which he has in you.
22Ngaiani pudlangunto ngatata ngaianini jinpana paraia, nina ngaiani pota marapuni poto marapu jigleri wontjana wonti, ja nau karari morla jigleri, ngangau nulu jurangu pirna ngundrai.
23As for Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker for you. As for our brothers, they are the apostles of the assemblies, the glory of Christ.
23Ngani Titungundru jatanani kara, nau ngakani kamaneli ja marangokanietja nganai jurangu; ngaianini ngatatandru kara, tana mili wolaraia Apostel nganai ja Christuni pirnala;
24Therefore show the proof of your love to them before the assemblies, and of our boasting on your behalf.
24Jurani ngantjana, ja ngaianini jurakokaterina jurangundru, tanangu wondraterianau, bakana mili wolaraia mudlani.
