Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
1He came to Derbe and Lystra; and behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewess who believed, but his father was a Greek.
1Nau Derbangu ja Lystrangu wokarana wonti. Ja mai, mili kulno naka nganana wonti, tala nunkani Timotheus, Juda widlaia ngatani, nandru morlalu ngundrana wonti, ja ngaperi nunkani Griekala nganana wonti;
2The brothers who were at Lystra and Iconium gave a good testimony about him.
2Ngatatajeli Lystrangu ja Ikoniungu ngumu tinkari ngankana wonti nunkangundru.
3Paul wanted to have him go out with him, and he took and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those parts, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
3Paulus jertapaterina wonti ninapini manina kurala nunkangunto; ja nulu nina patana wonti, ja nina karuwali ngankana wonti, tanangupini Juda kanandru, tana tanangupini ngurani ngamana wonti; ngangau tanali pratjanali nunkani ngaperandru milkila nganana wonti, nau Griekala nganana wonti.
4As they went on their way through the cities, they delivered the decrees to them to keep which had been ordained by the apostles and elders who were at Jerusalem.
4Tana ngura worana palkinganani, tanali tanangu jirijiribani jaura jinkina wonti ngamalkananto, tanana Apostel worali ja pinaru worali Jerusalemingu kurana paranani.
5So the assemblies were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily.
5Mili wolara morlalu ngundranali ngurunguru pantjina wonti, ja morla marapurina wonti ditji pratjanani.
6When they had gone through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia.
6Tana Phrygiani ja Galitia mitani palkingana wonti, ja Jaola kulikirieli tanana daudauana wonti Asiani jaura kaukaubala.
7When they had come opposite Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit didn’t allow them.
7Tana Mysia wondirani matja wokaranani, tanali wontjana wonti Bithynianaia palkala; ja Jaolali tanangu wata manuni kurana wonti.
8Passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas.
8Tana Mysiangu matja palkingana, tana Troasangu ngarina wonti.
9A vision appeared to Paul in the night. There was a man of Macedonia standing, begging him and saying, “Come over into Macedonia and help us.”
9Ja mudla kulno tinkani Paulungu wondraterina wonti; Macedonia kana kulno naka terkana wonti, ja nunkangu ngatjina wonti ja jatana wonti: „Jera pararau Macedoniaia ja ngaianingu marangokau!“
10When he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go out to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the Good News to them.
10Nulu nina mudla matja najina, ngaiana jertapaterina wonti nurujeli Macedoniaia palkala, ngangau ngaiana morlalu ngujamana wonti, Kaparali ngaianana karkana wonti, tanangu ngantjani jaura kaukaubala.
11Setting sail therefore from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the day following to Neapolis;
11Ngaiana Troasangundru pararana wonti ja palto talkuni Samothracengu wokarana wonti, ja ditji kulnuni Neapo lisingu;
12and from there to Philippi, which is a city of Macedonia, the foremost of the district, a Roman colony. We were staying some days in this city.
12Ja nakangundruka Philippingu, naupini nunkanipini Macedonia mitaia buruni ngura ngoperala nganai, ngura kapara. Ngaiana nunkangupini ngurani ditji palpa ngamana wonti.
13On the Sabbath day we went outside of the city by a riverside, where we supposed there was a place of prayer, and we sat down and spoke to the women who had come together.
13Ja Sabbat ditjini ngaiana ngurandru palaraia dunkana wonti kaiari kulnuja dirkalani, woderi ngatjini piri nganana wonti, ja ngaiana ngamana ngarina wonti ja widlani kaukaubana wonti, tana naka mapaterinani.
14A certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one who worshiped God, heard us. The Lord opened her heart to listen to the things which were spoken by Paul.
14Ja widla kulnujeli, tala nankani Lydia, nani kati maralje jinkinietja Thyatira ngurandru, nani Godandru japali nganana wonti, ngarana wonti; ja nana ngara Kaparali kalupakibana wonti jenia ngundrala, mina Paululu kaukaubana wonti.
15When she and her household were baptized, she begged us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and stay.” So she persuaded us.
15Nandru ja nankani pungalali matja multibanila manina, nana ngaianana kurukurubana wonti ja jatana wonti: „Jura ngundranani, ngato Kaparani morlalu ngundrai, ngakani pungani wirianau ja jerra ngamanau.“ Ja nandru ngaianana mararibana wonti.
16As we were going to prayer, a certain girl having a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much gain by fortune telling.
16Jendranguta ngaiana ngatjila wapanani, widla mili ngaianangu mandurina wonti, nandru kutjia talpadakani jaola ngamalkana wonti, nandru nankani kaparani kalala marapu jinkina wonti talpadakandru.
17Following Paul and us, she cried out, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us a way of salvation!”
17Nani Paulungu ja ngaianangu wapantina wonti ja maritjina wonti ja jatana wonti: „Tanapini kana Goda pirnaia mili nganai, tanali jurangu murlaia palto kaukaubai.“
18She was doing this for many days. But Paul, becoming greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her!” It came out that very hour.
18Jenia nandru ditji marapuni ngankana wonti. Paulus kalapankarina wonti ja karitjinawontikana wonti ja jaolani jatana wonti: „Ngato jinkangu Jesuja Christuja talani jirijiribai, jidni nankangundru dunkananto!“ Ja nau dunkana wonti nunkangupini ditjini.
19But when her masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulers.
19Nankani kaparali matja najina, tanani manginia kalkanani matja dunkana, tanali Paulus ja Silas patana wonti, ja pudlana jurborini piria parumana wonti ngaraia kaparani,
20When they had brought them to the magistrates, they said, “These men, being Jews, are agitating our city
20Ja pudlana kapakaparani wapalkana wonti ja jatana wonti: „Pudlalipini kanali ngura ngaianani patijiritjibai, ja Juda kana nganai.
21and advocate customs which it is not lawful for us to accept or to observe, being Romans.”
21Ja pudlali jenia mangini kaukaubai, tanali ngaiani wata patananto ja wata ngankananto, ngangau ngaiani Romala nganai.“
22The multitude rose up together against them and the magistrates tore their clothes from them, then commanded them to be beaten with rods.
22Ja kana wolaraia ngara pudlangu tutututungana wonti; ja kapakaparali jirijiribana wonti, pudlani kati puribala, ja pudlana nandrala.
23When they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely.
23Ja tanali pudlangu nandrani marapu matja jinkina, tanali pudlana kanjangari pungani widmana wonti, ja kanjangari pungaia najinajibanietjani jirijiribana wonti, pudlana jiglerali najinajibala.
24Having received such a command, he threw them into the inner prison and secured their feet in the stocks.
24Nulu ninapini jirijiribani jaura matja manina, nulu pudlana kanjangari punga mandrani widmana wonti, ja pudlani tidna workamandrana wonti pitani ngurunguru.
25But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.
25Tinka tertini karakara Paululu ja Silasili ngatjina wonti ja Goda jurakokana wonti; ja kanjangarilali pudlana ngarana wonti.
26Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone’s bonds were loosened.
26Nurujeli mita wiltjiwiltjina pirna pantjina wonti, jeruja kanjangari pungaia wotini wijawijabaterina wonti, ja nurujeli kanjangari pungaia mana pratjana walturina wonti, ja pratjanaia kanjangari dukaraterina wonti.
27The jailer, being roused out of sleep and seeing the prison doors open, drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.
27Kanjangari pungaia najinajibanietja mukandru matja jiritjina, ja kanjangari pungaia mana walto ngananani najina, nulu mardakirra dukarana wonti, ja jertapaterina wonti munta nari ngankaterila, ngangau nulu ngundrana wonti, kanjangarila kutingana warai.
28But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, “Don’t harm yourself, for we are all here!”
28Paulus ngaiala pirnali karkana wonti ja jatana wonti: „Wata madlentji ngankateriau! ngangau ngaiani pratjana ninkida nganai.“
29He called for lights, sprang in, fell down trembling before Paul and Silas,
29Nulu praitji karkana wonti, ja mindrina wirina wonti, ja ngarrana wonti, ja Paulungu ja Silangu tidnani woraterina wonti.
30brought them out, and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
30Ja nulu pudlana dunkalkana wonti ja jatana wonti: „Kapara wulujai, mina ngato ngankananto kulkani manila?“
31They said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.”
31Pudla jatana wonti: „Kaparani Jesungu Christungu morlalu ngundrau, jeruja jundru ja jinkani pungalali kulkani manila nganai.“
32They spoke the word of the Lord to him, and to all who were in his house.
32Ja pudla Kaparaia jaura nunkangu, ja pratjanani, tana pungani nunkanani ngamanani, kaukaubana wonti.
33He took them the same hour of the night and washed their stripes, and was immediately baptized, he and all his household.
33Ja nulu pudlana nunkangupini tinkaia ditjini patana wonti, ja pudlani tapa kulirkana wonti, ja nurujeli nulu ja nunkani pungalali multibanila manina wonti.
34He brought them up into his house and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly with all his household, having believed in God.
34Ja nulu pudlana nunkani pungaia taralkana wonti, ja pudlangu buka kurana wonti ja mankina wonti, ngangau nulu nunkani pungalantali Godani morlalu ngundrana pantjina warai.
35But when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, “Let those men go.”
35Matja ditjirina, kapakaparali nguraia mili jinpana wonti ja jatana wonti: „Pudlanapini kana jinpau!“
36The jailer reported these words to Paul, saying, “The magistrates have sent to let you go; now therefore come out and go in peace.”
36Kanjangari najinajibanietjali tananapini jaura Paulungu kaukaubana wonti: „Kapakaparali jinpana warai judlana kurakananto; karari wapalumai, ja murlanto palkalumai!“
37But Paul said to them, “They have beaten us publicly without a trial, men who are Romans, and have cast us into prison! Do they now release us secretly? No, most certainly, but let them come themselves and bring us out!”
37Paulus tanangu jatana wonti: „Tanali ngalina tinkari ja kalala kurani jaura panini nandrala wiri, ngali Romala terkai, ja ngalina kanjangari pungani widmala wiri, ja karari tanali ngalina kurukuru wailpananto? Wata jeruja, a‐ai, tana munta wokarananto ja ngalina dunkalkananto.“
38The sergeants reported these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans,
38Nguraia milieli kapakaparani tananapini jaura padakana wonti; ja tana japali pantjina wonti, tanali ngaranani, pudla Romala nganai.
39and they came and begged them. When they had brought them out, they asked them to depart from the city.
39Ja tana wokarana wonti, ja pudlana kurukurubana wonti, ja pudlana dunkalkana wonti, ja pudlangu ngatjina wonti ngurandru puntinanto.
40They went out of the prison and entered into Lydia’s house. When they had seen the brothers, they encouraged them, then departed.
40Pudla kanjangari pungandru matja dunkana, pudla Lydianangu wapana wonti; ja pudla ngatata wora matja najina ja ngankalkana, pudla wapana wonti.
