Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
1Paul, looking steadfastly at the council, said, “Brothers, I have lived before God in all good conscience until today.”
1Paululu kapara pratjana ngurutalpana najina wonti ja jatana wonti: „Jura materi ja ngatata worajai, ngani ngara ngaiala ngumujeli Godani wirarina wonti nunkangupini ditjielu.“
2The high priest, Ananias, commanded those who stood by him to strike him on the mouth.
2Ananias Priesta pirnali tanangu, tana nunkangu karakara terkanani, jirijiribana wonti, nina mana nandrala.
3Then Paul said to him, “God will strike you, you whitewashed wall! Do you sit to judge me according to the law, and command me to be struck contrary to the law?”
3Paulus nunkangu jatana wonti: „Godali jidna nandrala nganai, jidna wiribani wontini! Jidni ngamai ngakangu jirijiribani jaurali kalala jinkila, ja jirijiribani jaura panini jundru jirijiribai ngana nandrananto?“
4Those who stood by said, “Do you malign God’s high priest?”
4Tana naka terkana jatana wonti: „Godaia Priesta pirnani jidni madlentji jatai?“
5Paul said, “I didn’t know, brothers, that he was high priest. For it is written, ‘You shall not speak evil of a ruler of your people.’”
5Ja Paulus jatana wonti: „Ngatata worajai! Ngani ko nganana warai, naupini Priesta pirna nganai, ngangau dakanala parai: Jidni jinkani kana wolaraia kaparani wata madlentji jatananto.“
6But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, “Men and brothers, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees. Concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead I am being judged!”
6Paululu ngujamana wonti, palpa tanangundru Pharisaiala ngananani, ja palpa Sadducaiala, nau kana kapara pratjanani terti maritjina wonti: „Materi ja ngatata worajai! Ngani Pharisaiala nganai, Pharisaialaia ngatamura; kalkanandru ja nari jiritjinandru ngani kalalaia terkai.“
7When he had said this, an argument arose between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the crowd was divided.
7Nau jenia matja jatana, Pharisaiala ja Sadducaiala jatamalina wonti, ja kana wolara tjelapalkaterina wonti.
8For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, nor angel, nor spirit; but the Pharisees confess all of these.
8Ngangau Sadducaiala jatai: Nari jiritjini ja angela ja jaola pani nganai; Pharisaialali jenia mandru kaukaubai.
9A great clamor arose, and some of the scribes of the Pharisees’ part stood up, and contended, saying, “We find no evil in this man. But if a spirit or angel has spoken to him, let’s not fight against God!”
9Ja miritja pirna pantjina wonti, ja Pharisaiala jaura jinkinietja palpa terkana tarana wonti ja tjakakijiribamalina wonti ja jatana wonti: „Ngaiani wata madlentji nunkangupini kanani mankamankai; jaola kara angela kara nunkangu ngankamalina warai, ngaiani ngandandariai Godani tirimalila.“
10When a great argument arose, the commanding officer, fearing that Paul would be torn in pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down and take him by force from among them and bring him into the barracks.
10Patijiritjini morla pirna pantjinani, juljaia kapara japali pantjina wonti, tanali Paulus diadialkaiati, ja nulu jirijiribana wonti, julja wolara ngarinanto, nina tanangundru terti patananto, ja nina juljaia piria tikalkananto.
11The following night, the Lord stood by him and said, “Cheer up, Paul, for as you have testified about me at Jerusalem, so you must testify also at Rome.”
11Ja tinkani Kapara nunkangu wokarana wonti ja jatana wonti: „Murlali nganau Paulujai, ngangau worderu jundru ngakangundru Jerusalemingu tinkari ngankala wiri, jeruja jundru bakana Romangu tinkari ngankananto.“
12When it was day, some of the Jews banded together and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink until they had killed Paul.
12Matja ditjirina, Juda kana palpa mapaterina wonti, ja morlalu kurakijiribamalina wonti, wata tajila ja wata tapala, tanali Paulus nari nandralalu.
13There were more than forty people who had made this conspiracy.
13Tana morla nganana wonti marapratjana pota mandru ja mandruni, tanali jenia morlalu kurakijiribamalini ngankana wonti.
14They came to the chief priests and the elders, and said, “We have bound ourselves under a great curse to taste nothing until we have killed Paul.
14Tanapini Priesta pirnani ja pinarani wokarana wonti, ja jatana wonti: „Ngaiani kantji morlalu kurakijiribamalina warai panila wontjala, ngaiani Paulus nari nandralalu.
15Now therefore, you with the council inform the commanding officer that he should bring him down to you tomorrow, as though you were going to judge his case more exactly. We are ready to kill him before he comes near.”
15Jura karari juljaia kaparani ja kapara worangu kaukaubanau, nulu nina tankubana jurangu ngarilkananto, jeruja jeribaka, jura poto nunkani morla talku jertapateriai najinajibala; ngaiani ngankingaterina warai nina nari ngankala, morla ngopera nau jurangu karakararinani.“
16But Paul’s sister’s son heard they were lying in wait, and he came and entered into the barracks and told Paul.
16Pauluni kakuja ngatatajeli tanani ngundrani ngaranani, nau wokarana wonti, ja julja wolaraia pirini wirina wonti, ja jenia Paulungu kaukaubana wonti.
17Paul summoned one of the centurions and said, “Bring this young man to the commanding officer, for he has something to tell him.”
17Paululu juljaia kapakapara kulno karkana wonti ja jatana wonti: „Ninapini teri juljaia kaparani wapalkau, ngangau nulia minakulno ngamalkai nunkangu jatala.“
18So he took him and brought him to the commanding officer and said, “Paul, the prisoner, summoned me and asked me to bring this young man to you. He has something to tell you.”
18Nulu nina patana wonti, ja juljaia kaparani wapalkana wonti ja jatana wonti: „Paululu kanjangarilali ngana karkana warai, ja ngakangu ngatjina warai, ninapini teri jinkangu wapalkananto, ngangau nulia minakulno ngamalkai jinkangu kaukaubala.“
19The commanding officer took him by the hand, and going aside, asked him privately, “What is it that you have to tell me?”
19Juljaia kaparali nina mara patana wonti, ja nina tjirimalkana wonti, ja nina jakalkana wonti: „Mina jundru ngamalkai ngakangu kaukaubala?“
20He said, “The Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul down to the council tomorrow, as though intending to inquire somewhat more accurately concerning him.
20Nau jatana wonti: „Juda kana ngankamalina warai jinkangu ngatjina, jundru tankubana Paulus kapara worangu ngarilkananto, jeruja jeribaka, tanali nunkani poto morla talku najinajibananto.
21Therefore don’t yield to them, for more than forty men lie in wait for him, who have bound themselves under a curse to neither eat nor drink until they have killed him. Now they are ready, looking for the promise from you.”
21Jundru tanangu wata morlalu ngundramai, ngangau materi morla marapratjana pota mandru ja mandruni nunkangu kalkaterila wapaia, tanali matja morlalu kurakijiribamalina warai wata tajila ja wata tapala, tanali nina nari ngankalalu: ja karari tana ngankingaterila wapaia, ja jinkani jaurani kalkaterila wapaia.“
22So the commanding officer let the young man go, charging him, “Tell no one that you have revealed these things to me.”
22Juljaia kaparali nina teri jinpana wonti, ja nunkangu jirijiribana wonti wata kulnuni jatala, mina jundru ngakangu kaukaubana warai.
23He called to himself two of the centurions, and said, “Prepare two hundred soldiers to go as far as Caesarea, with seventy horsemen and two hundred men armed with spears, at the third hour of the night.”
23Ja nulu juljaia kapakapara mandru karkana wonti ja jatana wonti: „Julja 200 ngankingalumai, tana Cäsareaja palkananto, bakana dukaterinietja marapratjana pota mara wora ja mandru, ja kaltieli dakanietja 200 tinkani.
24He asked them to provide mounts, that they might set Paul on one, and bring him safely to Felix the governor.
24Ja tanali bakana dukaterini nganti ngankingananto Paulus kurana tarala, ja tepi Felixingu mitaia kapakaparani wapalkala.“
25He wrote a letter like this:
25Ja nulu jaura dakana wonti, nulupini jaurali:
26“Claudius Lysias to the most excellent governor Felix: Greetings.
26„Klaudiulu Lysiali mitaia kapakaparani Felix ngumu pirnani mandurini jaura jinpai.
27“This man was seized by the Jews, and was about to be killed by them when I came with the soldiers and rescued him, having learned that he was a Roman.
27Ninapini kana Juda kanali patala wiri, ja ninaia ngampu nari ngankala wiri, ninaia ngato dunkalkala wiri, ngani matja wirina julja wolarani jela, ngangau ngani ngarala wiri, nau Romala nganai.
28Desiring to know the cause why they accused him, I brought him down to their council.
28Ja ngangau ngato ngantjala wiri ngujamala, minandru tanali nunkangu ngulkuterkala wiri, ngato ninaia kapara pratjanani ngarilkala wiri.
29I found him to be accused about questions of their law, but not to be charged with anything worthy of death or of imprisonment.
29Ngato mankamankala wiri, tanali nunkangu tanani jirijiribani jauraia tirijakalkijiribamalinandru ngulkuterkala wiri, ja nunkangu ngulku pani parala wiri, nulia nari kara kanjangari kara kalala maninanto.
30When I was told that the Jews lay in wait for the man, I sent him to you immediately, charging his accusers also to bring their accusations against him before you. Farewell.”
30Ngangau kulnujeli ngakangu kaukaubala wiri, Juda kana palpa nunkangu materani kalkaterinani, ngato ninaia nurujeli jinkangu jinpana warai, ja bakana ngulkuterkanietjani kaukaubana warai, tana jinkangu jatananto, mina tanali nunkangu ngamalkai. Ngumu tepiriau!“
31So the soldiers, carrying out their orders, took Paul and brought him by night to Antipatris.
31Julja wolarali Paulus patana wonti, worderu nulu tanangu jirijiribana wonti; ja tanali nina tinkani Antipatringu wapalkana wonti.
32But on the next day they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the barracks.
32Ditji kulnuni tanali dukaterinietja worarana wonti nunkangunto palkananto, ja tana julja wolaraia pirini tikana karitjina wonti.
33When they came to Caesarea and delivered the letter to the governor, they also presented Paul to him.
33Tanapini Cäsareangu matja wokarana, ja dakani jaura mitaia kapakaparani matja jinkina, tanali Paulus nunkangu terkibana wonti.
34When the governor had read it, he asked what province he was from. When he understood that he was from Cilicia, he said,
34Mitaia kapakapara dakani jaura matja warapana, nulu jakalkana wonti, mina mita burundru nau nganai, ja nulu matja ngarana, nau Ciliciandru nganai,
35“I will hear you fully when your accusers also arrive.” He commanded that he be kept in Herod’s palace.
35Nau jatana wonti: „Ngato jidnana talku jakajakalkala nganai, ngulkuterkanietja jinkani bakana ninkida ngananani.“ Ja nulu jirijiribana wonti, nina Herodini pungani ngamalkala.
