Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
1Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue.
1Tana Amphipolingu ja Apolloniangu matja palkingana, tana Thessalonichingu wokarana wonti, woderi Juda kanaia jaura punga nganana wonti.
2Paul, as was his custom, went in to them; and for three Sabbath days reasoned with them from the Scriptures,
2Worderu Paululu milingeru, jeruja nau bakana tanangu wirina wonti, ja tanangunto Sabbat ditji parkulani ngankamalina wonti.
3explaining and demonstrating that the Christ had to suffer and rise again from the dead, and saying, “This Jesus, whom I proclaim to you, is the Christ.”
3Jaurandru nulu tanangu mildiri ngankana wonti, ja kurana wonti, Christus ketjaketjananto ja narindru jiritjinanto, ja Naupini Christus Jesus nganai, ninaia ngato jurangu kaukaubai.
4Some of them were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas: of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and not a few of the chief women.
4Ja palpali tanangundru morlalu ngundrana wonti, ja Paulungu ja Silangu ngokana wonti, ja Griekala Godandru japali marapu, ja kana widla pirna wata ngalje.
5But the unpersuaded Jews took along some wicked men from the marketplace and gathering a crowd, set the city in an uproar. Assaulting the house of Jason, they sought to bring them out to the people.
5Juda kana, tana wata morlalu ngundrana wonti, milkirina wonti, ja tana jurborini pirindru materi madlentji palpa patana wonti, ja mapaterina wonti, ja ngura patijiritjibana wonti; ja tana Jason pungani tidnantani terkakana wonti, ja wontjana wonti, tanana kana wolarani wapalkala.
6When they didn’t find them, they dragged Jason and certain brothers before the rulers of the city, crying, “These who have turned the world upside down have come here also,
6Tanali tanana wata mankamankanani, tanali Jason ja ngatata palpa nguraia kaparani parumana wonti ja maritjina wonti: „Tanapini, tanali mita maru patijiritjibana warai, bakana ninkida wokarana warai;
7whom Jason has received. These all act contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus!”
7Tananapini Jasonili ngamalkai, ja tanali pratjanali mitaia kaparaia jirijiribani jaurani delkiai, ngangau tanana kurai, Kulno nguru Kapara nganai, Jesus.“
8The multitude and the rulers of the city were troubled when they heard these things.
8Tanali kana wolara ja nguraia kapara, tanali jenia matja ngaranani, patijiritjibana wonti.
9When they had taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.
9Ja tanali Jasoningundru ja ngurundru morlalula matja manina, tanali tanana worani patana wonti.
10The brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Beroea. When they arrived, they went into the Jewish synagogue.
10Ngatatajeli nurujeli tinkani Paulus ja Silas Beröangu jinpana wonti, ja pudla naka matja wokarana, pudla Juda kanaia jaura pungani wirina wonti.
11Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.
11Tanalipini morla ngumu ngundrana wonti Thessalonichalani, ngangau tanali jaura manjujeli patana wonti, ja ditji pratjanani Godaia jaurani wontina wonti, tanapini jeruja nganai kara.
12Many of them therefore believed; also of the prominent Greek women, and not a few men.
12Jeruja marapujeli tanangundru morlalu ngundrana wonti, ja bakana Griekala kana pirna widla ja materi wata ngaljejeli.
13But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was proclaimed by Paul at Beroea also, they came there likewise, agitating the multitudes.
13Thessalonicha Juda kanali matja ngarana, bakana Beröani Paululu Godaia jaura kaukaubai, tana wokarana wonti, bakana naka kana wolara patijiritjibala.
14Then the brothers immediately sent out Paul to go as far as to the sea, and Silas and Timothy still stayed there.
14Nurujeli ngatatajeli Paulus jinpana wonti, nau panto pirnaia dirkalajelu palkananto; Silas ja Timotheus naka ngamantina wonti.
15But those who escorted Paul brought him as far as Athens. Receiving a commandment to Silas and Timothy that they should come to him very quickly, they departed.
15Tana Paulungu jela wapana, tanali nina Athenilu wapalkana wonti, ja tanali jirijiribani jaura matja manina, Silas ja Timotheus nurujeli nunkangu wokarananto, tana tarpina tikana wonti.
16Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw the city full of idols.
16Paulus Atheningu kalkaterinani pudlangu, nau jaola jerkina wonti, ngangau nulu najina wonti, ngurani Goda mudlamalka marapu paranani.
17So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and the devout persons, and in the marketplace every day with those who met him.
17Nulu jaura pungani Juda kanani, ja tanangu Godandru japali, ngankamalina wonti, ja jurborini pirini ditji pratjanani tanangu, tana jerra wokarana wonti.
18Some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also were conversing with him. Some said, “What does this babbler want to say?” Others said, “He seems to be advocating foreign deities,” because he preached Jesus and the resurrection.
18Palpali epicuräa ja stoika kana kirieli nunkangunto jatamalina wonti; ja palpa jatana wonti: „Mina naupini jatajatanietja jertapateriai jatala?“ Palpa nguru: „Ngaiani ngundrai, nulia kaukaubanietja Goda pilkindru nganai;“ Ngangau nulu tanangu ngantjani jaura Jesungundru, ja tepi terkakanani, kaukaubana wonti.
19They took hold of him and brought him to the Areopagus, saying, “May we know what this new teaching is, which you are speaking about?
19Ja tanali nina patana wonti, ja nina Areopagani wapalkana wonti ja jatana wonti: „Ngaiani ngujamananto, mina ngujangujara naupini nganai, ninaia jundru kaukaubai?
20For you bring certain strange things to our ears. We want to know therefore what these things mean.”
20Ngangau jundru ngaianingu talpani palpa tula wirilkai, ngaiani ngantjai milkila nganala, mina jenia nganai.“
21Now all the Athenians and the strangers living there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell or to hear some new thing.
21Athenalali, ja tana tidnapalarali, naka ngamanani, wata pilki ngundrana wonti, a‐ai, windri milingeru palpa marra jatala ja ngarala.
22Paul stood in the middle of the Areopagus and said, “You men of Athens, I perceive that you are very religious in all things.
22Paulus Areopagani terti terkana wonti ja jatana wonti: „Athenala worajai! Ngato najiai, jura pratjanani Goda worangundru japali nganai.
23For as I passed along and observed the objects of your worship, I also found an altar with this inscription: ‘TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.’ What therefore you worship in ignorance, I announce to you.
23Ngangau ngani palkingana warai, ja jurani poto kulikiri najina warai, ja ngato Altara kulno mankamankana warai, nunkangu dakani parai: «Nunkangupini Godani, nunkangu ngaiani ko.» Ninapini, ninaia jura bulu ngujamanali wodatarana ngamai, ngato jurangu kaukaubai.
24The God who made the world and all things in it, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, doesn’t dwell in temples made with hands.
24Nulupini Godali, Nulia mita maru, ja pratjana mina nunkangu mandrani, pantjimana wonti, Naupini pariwilpaia ja mitaia Kapara nganai, wata pungani ngamai, tana marali wotinala;
25He isn’t served by men’s hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself gives to all life and breath and all things.
25Kana marali ninaia bakana wata ngamalkai, Nulia minakulno morla ngamalkananto, a‐ai, Nulia muntali pratjanani tepi ja jaola ja warupoto jinkiai.
26He made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the surface of the earth, having determined appointed seasons and the boundaries of their dwellings,
26Ja Nulia ngankana wonti, kulnuja kumarandru kana wolara mita maruja mudlani ngamananto, ja Nulia miljaru talku ja wondiri ngopera kurana wonti, worderunutana ngamananto.
27that they should seek the Lord, if perhaps they might reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.
27Ngangau tanali Kapara wontinanto, tanali nina karakarananto ja mankamankananto; ngangau Nauja kantji wata worita nganai ngaianangu pratjanani.
28‘For in him we live, move, and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also his offspring.’
28Ngangau nunkangupini ngaiana tepiriai ja wirariai ja kantji nganai; worderu bakana jurani kurakuranietja palpa jatanala: «Ngaiana nunkani nguja nganai.»
29Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold, or silver, or stone, engraved by art and design of man.
29Ngangau ngaiana Godaia nguja nganai, ngaiana wata ngundrananto, Goda jeribaka nganai, marda maraljeni kara, marda buluni kara, mardani kara, mudlani kara, ninaia kana kirila ja mankani matja ngankana.
30The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked. But now he commands that all people everywhere should repent,
30Godali koja miljaru wata ngundrai, ja karari Nulia kana warupotuni paruparu jirijiribai madlentjandru karitjinanto;
31because he has appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he has ordained; of which he has given assurance to all men, in that he has raised him from the dead.”
31Ngangau Nulia ditji kulno kurana wonti, nunkangupini Nulia mita maruni kalala jinkila nganai talkulali, kana kulnujeli, ninaia Nulia kurana wonti, ja pratjanani morlalu ngundrana kurai, Nulia ninaia narindru matja jiritjibana.“
32Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but others said, “We want to hear you again concerning this.”
32Tanali narindru jiritjini matja ngarana, palpali ngirkibana wonti; palpa jatana wonti: „Ngaiani jidna jendrangundruja nakaldra morla ngarananto.“
33Thus Paul went out from among them.
33Jeruja Paulus tanangu tertindru wapana wonti.
34But certain men joined with him and believed, including Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
34Kana palpa nunkangu wokarana wonti, ja morlalu ngundrana wonti: Tanangundru Areopagitala Dionysius, ja widla kulno, tala nankani Damaris, ja palpa pudlangunto.
