Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
1“Brothers and fathers, listen to the defense which I now make to you.”
1„Ngatata ja ngaperi worajai, ngakani kaukaubaterini jaura jurangu karari ngaranimarau!“
2When they heard that he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, they were even more quiet. He said,
2Tanali ngaranani, nulu tanangu Juda kana talini kaukaubanani, tana morla dalpura nganana wonti. Ja nau jatana wonti:
3“I am indeed a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, instructed according to the strict tradition of the law of our fathers, being zealous for God, even as you all are today.
3„Ngani Juda kana nganai, Tarsungu Cilicieni matja dankana, ja tanali ngakangu nunkangupini ngurani Gamalieli tidnani pirna ngankana wonti, ja ngurungurulali ngato ngaperaia jirijiribani jaurani ngujangujara maninala, ja ngani Godangu manabakapirna nganana wonti jurangu pratjanani karari jeribaka;
4I persecuted this Way to the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women,
4Ja ngani ninapini palto tirikaripaterina wonti narielu, ja ngato materi ja widla dupudupu ngankana wonti, ja tanana kanjangari pungani ngulkujeli jinkina wonti,
5as also the high priest and all the council of the elders testify, from whom also I received letters to the brothers, and traveled to Damascus to bring them also who were there to Jerusalem in bonds to be punished.
5Worderu ngakangu bakana Priesta pirnali ja pinaru worali pratjanali tinkari ngankai, tanangundru ngato bakana dakani jaura manina wonti ngatataia, ja Damaskuja palkana wonti, bakana tanana, naka ngamanani, dupudupu Jerusalemia wapalkala kalalaia.
6“As I made my journey and came close to Damascus, about noon suddenly a great light shone around me from the sky.
6Jendranguta ngani palkanani, ja Damaskungu karakara wokaranani, todani nurujeli ngakangu pariwilpandru praitji mintjina karitjina wonti.
7I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?’
7Ja ngani mitani purina ngarina wonti, ja ngaiala kulno ngakangu jatanani ngarana wonti: «Saulujai, Saulujai, minandru jidni ngakangu tirikaripaterila wapaia?»
8I answered, ‘Who are you, Lord?’ He said to me, ‘I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you persecute.’
8Ngato kalabana wonti: Worana jidni nganai Kaparajai? Ja Nauja ngakangu jatana wonti: Ngani Jesus Nazaretala nganai, nunkangu jidni tirikaripaterila wapaia.
9“Those who were with me indeed saw the light and were afraid, but they didn’t understand the voice of him who spoke to me.
9Tana ngakangunto nganana, praitji najina wonti, ja japali pirna pantjina wonti; ja nunkani ngaiala, nulungali ngankamalinani, tanali wata ngarana wonti.
10I said, ‘What shall I do, Lord?’ The Lord said to me, ‘Arise, and go into Damascus. There you will be told about all things which are appointed for you to do.’
10Ngani jatana wonti: Mina ngato ngankananto Kaparajai? Kapara ngakangu jatana wonti: Terkala taramai, ja Damaskuja wapau, naka tanali jinkangu pratjana kaukaubala nganai, mina jinkangu kurana parana ngankananto.
11When I couldn’t see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of those who were with me, I came into Damascus.
11Ngangau ngani ngandandarinani najila nunkanaia praitjaia mintjinandru, kamanelieli ngakanali ngana marali wapalkana wonti, ja jeruja ngani Damaskungu wokarana wonti.
12“One Ananias, a devout man according to the law, well reported of by all the Jews who lived in Damascus,
12Ananias kulno, nau Godaia jirijiribani jaurandru japali, nunkangu Juda kana pratjanali naka ngamanali pirna ngundrana wonti,
13came to me, and standing by me said to me, ‘Brother Saul, receive your sight!’ In that very hour I looked up at him.
13Nau ngakangu wokarana wonti, ja ngakangu karakararina wonti ja jatana wonti: Ngatata Saulujai, najina tarau! ja nunkangupini ditjini ngato nunkangu najina tarana wonti.
14He said, ‘The God of our fathers has appointed you to know his will, and to see the Righteous One, and to hear a voice from his mouth.
14Nau jatana wonti: Ngaiananaia ngaperaia Godali jidna ngopera kurana wonti, jidni jertapaterini nunkani ngujamananto, ja ninaia Talkupirna najinanto, ja ngaiala nunkani nunkani manandru ngarananto.
15For you will be a witness for him to all men of what you have seen and heard.
15Ngangau jidni tinkari ngankanietja nganala nganai nunkangu, kanani warupotuni, nunkangundru, mina jundru najina warai ja ngarana warai.
16Now why do you wait? Arise, be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.’
16Ja karari, minandru jundru ngujawakai? Terkala tarau, ja multibanila madlentjandru kulirkala maniau, ja Kaparaia tala karkau!
17“When I had returned to Jerusalem and while I prayed in the temple, I fell into a trance
17Jendranguta ngani Jerusalemia matja tikana, ja ngani Godaia pungani ngatjinani, ngani ngaramarlarina wonti.
18and saw him saying to me, ‘Hurry and get out of Jerusalem quickly, because they will not receive testimony concerning me from you.’
18Ja ngato ninaia najina wonti, Nauja ngakangu jatanani: Mindriau, ja nurujeli Jerusalemingundru puntiau, ngangau tanali jinkani tinkari ngankani ngakangundru wata patala nganai.
19I said, ‘Lord, they themselves know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue those who believed in you.
19Ja ngani jatana wonti: Kaparajai, tana munta milkila, ngato tanana, jinkangu morlalu ngundrana, jaura pungani wirrieli mandrana wonti, ja kanjangari pungani widmana wonti.
20When the blood of Stephen, your witness, was shed, I also was standing by, consenting to his death, and guarding the cloaks of those who killed him.’
20Ja jendranguta Stephanani jinkanaia tinkari ngankanietjaia kumari matja ngakana, bakana ngani munta naka terkana wonti, ja nunkani nari ngantjana wonti, ja tanani kati ngamalkiribamalina wonti, tanali nina nari ngankana wonti.
21“He said to me, ‘Depart, for I will send you out far from here to the Gentiles.’ ”
21Ja Nauja jatana wonti ngakangu: «Wapau, ngangau ngato jidna kana koni jinpala nganai.»“
22They listened to him until he said that; then they lifted up their voice and said, “Rid the earth of this fellow, for he isn’t fit to live!”
22Tanali nina ngarana wonti nunkangupini jauranilu, ja tana ngaiala tanani miririna wonti ja jatana wonti: „Ninapini mitandru teribanau, ngangau jenia wata talku nganai, nauja tepi ngamananto!“
23As they cried out, threw off their cloaks, and threw dust into the air,
23Tana maritjinani, ja tanani kati woraranani, ja puturu miri teribanani,
24the commanding officer commanded him to be brought into the barracks, ordering him to be examined by scourging, that he might know for what crime they shouted against him like that.
24Jendranguta juljaia kaparali jirijiribana wonti, tanali nina juljaia pirini wapalkananto, ja jatana wonti, tanali nina wirrieli nandranali jakalkananto, ngangau nulu ngujamananto, minandru tana nunkangundru jenia miritja ngankai.
25When they had tied him up with straps, Paul asked the centurion who stood by, “Is it lawful for you to scourge a man who is a Roman, and not found guilty?”
25Tanali nina ngutana ngurakatibinani wirria, Paulus nunkangu juljaia kapakaparani, nau karakara terkanani jatana wonti: „Jenia jurangu manuni kurala wapaia, kana kulno, nau Romala nganai, kalala kurani panini nandrala?“
26When the centurion heard it, he went to the commanding officer and told him, “Watch what you are about to do, for this man is a Roman!”
26Juljaia kapakaparali jenia matja ngarana, nau juljaia kaparani wapana wonti ja nunkangu kaukaubana wonti ja jatana wonti: „Mina jundru ngundrai ngankala? Naupini kana Romala nganai.“
27The commanding officer came and asked him, “Tell me, are you a Roman?” He said, “Yes.”
27Juljaia kapara karakararina wonti ja nunkangu jatana wonti: „Jatau ngakangu, jidni Romala?“ Nau jatana wonti: „Kau.“
28The commanding officer answered, “I bought my citizenship for a great price.” Paul said, “But I was born a Roman.”
28Juljaia kaparali kalabana wonti: „Ngato kalala pirnali ninata ngurala burungankanala“. Paulus jatana wonti: „Ngani bakana Romala dankana wonti.“
29Immediately those who were about to examine him departed from him, and the commanding officer also was afraid when he realized that he was a Roman, because he had bound him.
29Nurujeli tanali nina worarana wonti, tanali nina jakalkananto; ja juljaia kapara japali pantjina wonti, nulu matja ngarana, nau Romala nganai, ja ngangau nulu nina dupupu ngankana wonti.
30But on the next day, desiring to know the truth about why he was accused by the Jews, he freed him from the bonds and commanded the chief priests and all the council to come together, and brought Paul down and set him before them.
30Ditji kulnuni nulu ngantjana wonti morlalu ngujamala, minandru Juda kanali nunkangu ngulkuterkala wiri, ja nulu nina dukarana wonti ja jirijiribana wonti, Priesta pirna ja kapara pratjana jurborinanto; ja nulu Paulus ngarilkana wonti, ja nina tanangu terkibana wonti.
