Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
1Agrippa said to Paul, “You may speak for yourself.” Then Paul stretched out his hand, and made his defense.
1Agrippas Paulungu jatana wonti: „Ngato jinkangu manuni kurala wapaia jinkangundru munta jatananto.“ Paululu kalabana wonti, ja mara ngutaterina wonti:
2“I think myself happy, King Agrippa, that I am to make my defense before you today concerning all the things the Jews accuse me of,
2„Ngani murlali ngundrateriai, mitaia kapara Agrippajai, ngato Juda kanaia ngulku pratjanandru karari jinkangu kalabaterinanto.
3especially because you are expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews. Therefore I beg you to hear me patiently.
3Ngangan jidni ngujamanietja pirna nganai Juda kanaia manginandru ja tirijakalkijiribamalinandru, jendrangundruja ngani jinkangu ngatjiai, jundru ngana manjujeli ngarananto.
4“Indeed, all the Jews know my way of life from my youth up, which was from the beginning among my own nation and at Jerusalem;
4Ngakani tepi kupandru, worderu ngani ngoperandru kana wolarani ngakanani terti Jerusalemingu ngamanala, Juda kana pratjana milkila;
5having known me from the first, if they are willing to testify, that after the strictest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.
5Tanali ngana ngoperandru ngujamai, tana jertapaterinani tinkari ngankala, ngangau ngani nguja ngurunguru pirnani ngaiananaia Godaia wodatarana ngamanani wirarina wonti Pharisaiala.
6Now I stand here to be judged for the hope of the promise made by God to our fathers,
6Ja karari ngani terkala wapai kalalaia, wolkareli kalkaterinandru talpadakani jaurani, ninaia Godali ngaperani ngaianani jinkina wonti.
7which our twelve tribes, earnestly serving night and day, hope to attain. Concerning this hope I am accused by the Jews, King Agrippa!
7Nunkangu kana wolaraia mardu marapratjana ja mandru kalkai wokarala jiglerali mili ngamanali tinkawirdi ja ditjiwirdi; nunkangupini wolkareli kalkanandru Juda kanali ngakangu ngulkuterkai, mitaia kapara Agrippajai!
8Why is it judged incredible with you if God does raise the dead?
8Minandru jura jenia wata morlalu ngundrai, Godali narila jiriitjibanani?
9“I myself most certainly thought that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
9Ngato muntali ngundrana wonti, ngato Jesuni Nazarethalaia talani madlentji marapu ngankananto,
10I also did this in Jerusalem. I both shut up many of the saints in prisons, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death I gave my vote against them.
10Jenia ngato bakana Jerusalemingu ngankana wonti, woderi ngato kulikirila marapu kanjangari pungani widmana wonti, ngato Priesta pirnandru ngurula matja manina; ja tanali matja nari manina, ngani «kau» jatana wonti.
11Punishing them often in all the synagogues, I tried to make them blaspheme. Being exceedingly enraged against them, I persecuted them even to foreign cities.
11Ja ngato tanana jaura punga pratjanani pota marapu kalalaia parumana wonti, ja tanana jupana wonti ngirkibala; ja tiri pirna ngani tanangu ngura woritalaia tirikaripaterina wonti.
12“Whereupon as I traveled to Damascus with the authority and commission from the chief priests,
12Nunkangundru ngani bakana Damaskuja palkana wonti, ngurulali ja jirijiribani jaurali Priesta pirnandru.
13at noon, O king, I saw on the way a light from the sky, brighter than the sun, shining around me and those who traveled with me.
13Ditji tertini paltuni, mitaia kaparajai! ngato najina wonti praitji pariwilpandru, morla pirna mintjinani ditji pirnani, ngakangu ja tanangu ngakangunto mintjina karitjinani.
14When we had all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice saying to me in the Hebrew language, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.’
14Ngaiana pratjana mitani matja purina, ngato ngaiala kulno Juda kana talini ngarana wonti ngakangu jatanani: Saulujai, Saulujai! minandru jidni ngakangu tirikaripateriai? Jenia jinkangu nguru pantjila nganai dilkani dakala.
15“I said, ‘Who are you, Lord?’ “He said, ‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.
15Ngani jatana wonti: Worana jidni nganai Kaparajai? Nauja jatana wonti: Ngani Jesus nganai, nunkangu jidni tirikaripateriai.
16But arise, and stand on your feet, for I have appeared to you for this purpose: to appoint you a servant and a witness both of the things which you have seen and of the things which I will reveal to you;
16Terkala tarau, ja jinkani tidnali terkakamai, ngangau jendrania ngani jinkangu wondraterina warai jidna karkala ngamalkijiribanietja ja tinkari ngankanietja nunkangupini, mina jundru najina warai, ja nunkangu, minani ngani jinkangu morla wondraterila nganai;
17delivering you from the people and from the Gentiles, to whom I send you,
17Ngato jidna kulkala nganai kana wolarandru ja kana kondru, tanangu ngato jidna jinpala nganai;
18to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive remission of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’
18Tanani milki tjenmibala, tanana ngalpurandru praitjani, ja kutjia ngurulandru Godangu karitjimalkala, tanali madlentji kalinganila ja maratunka maninanto kulikirilani jela, ngakangu morlalu ngundranali.
19“Therefore, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision,
19Jendrangundruja, mitaia kapara Agrippajai! ngani pariwilpaia mudlani wata delkina wonti,
20but declared first to them of Damascus, at Jerusalem, and throughout all the country of Judea, and also to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, doing works worthy of repentance.
20A‐ai, ngopera ngato tanangu Damaskungu, ja Jerusalemingu ja Judaia mitani paruparu, ja bakana kana koni, ngantjani jaura kaukaubana wonti, tana madlentjandru karitjinanto Godani, ja karitjinaia ngankana ngumu ngankananto.
21For this reason the Jews seized me in the temple and tried to kill me.
21Jendrangundruja Juda kanali, ngani Godaia pungani ngananani, ngana patana wonti, ja ngundrana wonti, ngana nari ngankala.
22Having therefore obtained the help that is from God, I stand to this day testifying both to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses said would happen,
22Ngangau Godali ngakangu marangokana wonti, ngani terkala wapaia nunkangupini ditjielu, ja ngato tinkari ngankai wakani ja pirnani, ja ngani panila jatai, windri jenia mina Prophetali kaukaubana wonti, mina morlalu pantjila nganai, ja Mosili talpadakana wonti:
23how the Christ must suffer, and how, by the resurrection of the dead, he would be first to proclaim light both to these people and to the Gentiles.”
23Ghristus ketjaketjananto ja ngoperaetja ngananto nari jiritjinandru, ja Nulia praitji kaukaubananto kana wolarani ja kana koni.“
24As he thus made his defense, Festus said with a loud voice, “Paul, you are crazy! Your great learning is driving you insane!”
24Nulu tananapini jaurali kalabanani, Festus ngaiala pirnali jatana wonti: „Paulujai, jidni jirijiri, kiri pirnali jidna jirijiri ngankai.“
25But he said, “I am not crazy, most excellent Festus, but boldly declare words of truth and reasonableness.
25Nau jatana wonti: „Ngani wata jirijiri, Festus ngumu pirnajai, a‐ai, ngani jaura morlalula ja tjuru ngumula jatai.
26For the king knows of these things, to whom also I speak freely. For I am persuaded that none of these things is hidden from him, for this has not been done in a corner.
26Ngangau mitaia kaparali tananapini morlalu ngujamai, nunkangu ngato bakana manubakujeli kaukaubai; ngangau ngato morlalu ngundrai, nunkangupini pratjanandru, nunkangu panila kurukuru nganai, ngangau naupini wata kurukuruni pantjinala.
27King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know that you believe.”
27Jundru Prophetani morlalu ngundrai, mitaia kapara Agrippajai? Ngato milkila, jundru morlalu ngundrai.“
28Agrippa said to Paul, “With a little persuasion are you trying to make me a Christian?”
28Agrippas Paulungu jatana wonti: „Ngampu jundru ngana karkarkai Christula pantjinanto.“
29Paul said, “I pray to God, that whether with little or with much, not only you, but also all that hear me today, might become such as I am, except for these bonds.”
29Paulus jatana wonti: „Ngani Godani ngatjinanto, wata windri ngampu, a‐ai, morlalu; wata windri jidni, a‐ai, pratjana, tanali ngana karari ngarala wapaia, jenipara pantjinanto ngakangu jeribaka, kalitakali tanapini workamandrani.“
30The king rose up with the governor and Bernice, and those who sat with them.
30Nau jenia matja jatana, mitaia kapara ja mitaia kapakapara ja Bernice, ja tana tanangunto jela ngamani, terkala tarana wonti.
31When they had withdrawn, they spoke to one another, saying, “This man does nothing worthy of death or of bonds.”
31Ja tana matja tjirina tarana, tana ngankamalina wonti ja jatana wonti: „Nulupini kanali wata madlentji ngankana warai naria kara kanjangaria kara.“
32Agrippa said to Festus, “This man might have been set free if he had not appealed to Caesar.”
32Agrippas Festungu jatana wonti: „Nulupini kana kurakananto, nulu wata mitaia kapara karkanani.“
