Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
1After five days, the high priest, Ananias, came down with certain elders and an orator, one Tertullus. They informed the governor against Paul.
1Ditji mara worani Priesta pirna Ananias pinarani jela ja jurajuralkijiribanietja Tertullus ngarina wonti, tanali Paulungundru mitaia kapakaparani ngulkuterkananto.
2When he was called, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, “Seeing that by you we enjoy much peace, and that prosperity is coming to this nation by your foresight,
2Tanali nina matja karkana, Tertullulu ngulkuterkani jaura wonina wonti ja jatana wonti:
3we accept it in all ways and in all places, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness.
3„Ngaiani jinkangundru murla pirna ngamalkai, ja tananapini kana wolara jinkani manujeli ngundranali ngamalkijiribani ngumu maniai, ja ngaiani jenia milingeru pirna jurakokanali ngundrai, Felix ngumu pirnajai!
4But that I don’t delay you, I entreat you to bear with us and hear a few words.
4Ngangau ngato jidna wata pirna jupananto, ngani jinkangu ngatjiai, jundru ngaianina ngalje ngarananto jinkani maltindru.
5For we have found this man to be a plague, an instigator of insurrections among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes.
5Ngaiani ninapini kana pirindi mankamankana paraia, ja patijiritjibanietjaia mudlakutja, Juda kana pratjanani mita maruni ja Nazarenalaia ngujaja kapara,
6He even tried to profane the temple, and we arrested him.
6Nulia bakana wontjala wiri Godaia punga murumuru ngankala; ninaia ngaiani patala wiri, ja ngantjala wiri, nunkangu ngaiananani jirijiribani jaurandru kalala jinkila.
no verse 7 in this text
7Lysias juljaia kaparali terti wokarala wiri, ja ninaia ngurula pirnali ngaianingu marandru dunkalkala wiri.
8By examining him yourself you may ascertain all these things of which we accuse him.”
8Ja nulu nunkani ngulkuterkanietjani jirijiribala wiri, jinkangu wokaraterinanto; nunkangundru jundru muntali pratjana ngarala nganai, jundru nina wontjanani, minandru ngaiani nunkangu ngulkuterkala wapaia.“
9The Jews also joined in the attack, affirming that these things were so.
9Juda kanali bakana jenia kaukaubana wonti, ja jatana wonti, jenia morlalu nganai.
10When the governor had beckoned to him to speak, Paul answered, “Because I know that you have been a judge of this nation for many years, I cheerfully make my defense,
10Paululu kalabana wonti, mitaia kapakaparali nunkangu marali matja malka jinkina nulu kaukaubananto: „Ngangau ngani milkila, jidni tanangupini kana wolarani kilpawoldra marapu kalala kuranietja nganai, ngani murlali ngakangundru jurajuralkateriai.
11seeing that you can verify that it is not more than twelve days since I went up to worship at Jerusalem.
11Jundru jenia jakalkananto, wata morla wirdi ditji marapratjana ja mandruni nganai, ngani Jerusalemia tarana paraia ngatjila.
12In the temple they didn’t find me disputing with anyone or stirring up a crowd, either in the synagogues or in the city.
12Bakana tanalia ngana wata mankamankala wiri Godaia pungani kulnuni ngankamalinani kara, kana wolara patijiritjibanani kara, bakana wata jaura punga worani, bakana wata ngurani;
13Nor can they prove to you the things of which they now accuse me.
13Tanaia bakana ngandandariai ngakangu morlalu kurala, minandru tanalia ngakangu karari ngulkuterkala wapaia.
14But this I confess to you, that according to the Way, which they call a sect, so I serve the God of our fathers, believing all things which are according to the law, and which are written in the prophets;
14Jenia ngato jinkangu morlalu dikai, ngani nunkangupini paltuni, nina tanalia dikai nguja pilki, ngani ngaperaia ngaiananaia Godani mili ngamai; ngangau ngato pratjana morlalu ngundrai, mina jirijiribani jaurani ja Propheta worani dakanala parai;
15having hope toward God, which these also themselves look for, that there will be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.
15Ja ngato wolkarali kalkani ngamalkai Godani, ninaia bakana tanalia muntali ngamalkai, narindru jiritjini wokarala nganai, wata windri kana talkuni, a‐ai, bakana tjikatjikani.
16In this I also practice always having a conscience void of offense toward God and men.
16Jendrania ngato muntali jiglerali ngankai ngara ngaiala ngumu ngamalkala Godani ja kanani milingeru.
17Now after some years, I came to bring gifts for the needy to my nation, and offerings;
17Kilpawoldra marapu matja mudana, ngani wokarana paraia kalumiltjamiltjarini poto ngakani kana wolarani jinkila, ja bakana poto ngumu.
18amid which certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, not with a mob, nor with turmoil.
18Jendranguta (Priestali) ngana Godaia pungani kilikiri ngankana parai, wata kana wolarani jela, ja bakana wata maritjinali, Juda kana palpali Asiandru ngana mankamankana paraia,
19They ought to have been here before you and to make accusation if they had anything against me.
19Tana jinkangu wokarananto ja ngakangu ngulkuterkananto, tanali ngakangu minakulno ngamalkanani.
20Or else let these men themselves say what injustice they found in me when I stood before the council,
20Tanali ninkida muntali kaukaubananto, mina madlentji tanali ngakangu mankamankala wiri, ngani kana kaparani terkanani,
21unless it is for this one thing that I cried standing among them, ‘Concerning the resurrection of the dead I am being judged before you today!’”
21Kalitakali nunkangupini jaura kulnundru kara, nina ngani maritjila wiri, ngani tanangu terti terkanani: «Nari jiritjinandru ngani karari jurangundru kalalaia terkai.»“
22But Felix, having more exact knowledge concerning the Way, deferred them, saying, “When Lysias, the commanding officer, comes down, I will decide your case.”
22Felixali jenia ngarana, nulu tanani poto karari worani patana wonti, ngangau nulu morla talku ngujamana wonti nunkangupini paltundru, ja nau jatana wonti: „Lysias juljaia kapara ngarinani, ngato jurani poto ngujamala nganai.“
23He ordered the centurion that Paul should be kept in custody and should have some privileges, and not to forbid any of his friends to serve him or to visit him.
23Ja nulu juljaia kaparani jirijiribana wonti, nulu Paulus ngamalkananto, nau manju ngamananto, ja wata nunkani kamaneli kulnujeli daudauananto nunkani mili nganala kara nunkangu wokarala kara.
24After some days, Felix came with Drusilla his wife, who was a Jewess, and sent for Paul and heard him concerning the faith in Christ Jesus.
24Ditji palpani ngadani Felix wokarana wonti, Drusilla noani nunkanani jela, nani Juda widla nganana wonti, ja nulu Paulus karkana wonti, ja nina Christungu morlalu ngundranandru ngarana wonti.
25As he reasoned about righteousness, self-control, and the judgment to come, Felix was terrified, and answered, “Go your way for this time, and when it is convenient for me, I will summon you.”
25Ja nulu talkulandru, ja ninta pirna ngamanandru, ja kalalandru, nau wokarala nganai, nunkangu kaukaubanani, Felix japali pantjina wonti ja kalabana wonti: „Karari wapau; ngato miljaru manju mankamankanani, ngato jidna nakaldra karkala nganai.“
26Meanwhile, he also hoped that money would be given to him by Paul, that he might release him. Therefore also he sent for him more often and talked with him.
26Nulu bakana kalkana wonti, Paululu nunkangu mardatandra jinkinanto, nulu nina kurakananto; jendrangundruja nulu nina bakana pota palpa karkana wonti, ja nunkangu ngankamalina wonti.
27But when two years were fulfilled, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus, and desiring to gain favor with the Jews, Felix left Paul in bonds.
27Kilpawoldra mandruni Portius Festus Felixangu karipaterina wonti; ja ngangau Felix ngantjana wonti Juda kanandru jurakokani manila, nulu Paulus kanjangari pungani worani patana wonti.
