Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
1Saul was consenting to his death. A great persecution arose against the assembly which was in Jerusalem in that day. They were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except for the apostles.
1Saululu nari nunkani ngantjana wonti. Tanangupini ditjini tirikaripaterina pirna pantjina wonti Jerusalem mili wolarani, ja pratjana piltjaru wapana wonti Judaia ja Samariaia mitaia pilki ja pilki, kalitakali Apostel ngamanani.
2Devout men buried Stephen and lamented greatly over him.
2Tanali materali, tana Godandru japali, Stephanus todina wonti, ja tana pirna juajuangana wonti nunkangundru.
3But Saul ravaged the assembly, entering into every house and dragged both men and women off to prison.
3Saululu mili wolara tjautjau ngankana wonti, ja nau pungani paruparu wirina wonti, ja materi ja widla watawatali dunkalkana wonti, ja tanana kanjangari pungani ngulkujeli jinkina wonti.
4Therefore those who were scattered abroad went around preaching the word.
4Tana jeruja piltjaru pantjina, morla worita wapana wonti, ja jaura kaukaubana wonti.
5Philip went down to the city of Samaria and proclaimed to them the Christ.
5Philippus Samaria mitaia ngura kulnuja ngarina wonti, ja tanangu Christungundru kaukaubana wonti.
6The multitudes listened with one accord to the things that were spoken by Philip when they heard and saw the signs which he did.
6Kana wolarali kulnukulnuni talpakaldrujeli ngarana wonti nunkangu, mina Philippus jatana wonti, tanali ngaranani ja malka najinani, tanana nulu ngankana wonti.
7For unclean spirits came out of many of those who had them. They came out, crying with a loud voice. Many who had been paralyzed and lame were healed.
7Ngangau kana marapu kutji murumurunto naka nganana wonti, tanangundru tanana maritjina pirnali dunkana wonti, ja dupudupu ja tjunduru marapu tepi pantjina wonti.
8There was great joy in that city.
8Ja mankina pirna pantjina wonti nunkangupini ngurani.
9But there was a certain man, Simon by name, who used to practice sorcery in the city and amazed the people of Samaria, making himself out to be some great one,
9Materi kulno, tala nunkani Simon, ngopara ngurani ngamana wonti, nau kunki nganana wonti, ja Samaria kana wolara ngaruparibana wonti, ngangau nau jatana wonti: „Ngani pirna nganai.“
10to whom they all listened, from the least to the greatest, saying, “This man is that great power of God.”
10Nunkangu pratjanali, wakali ja pirnali, pirna ngundrana wonti ja jatana wonti: „Naupini Godaia pirnala nganai, nauja pirna nganai.“
11They listened to him because for a long time he had amazed them with his sorceries.
11Jendrangundruja tanali nina pirna ngundrana wonti, ngangau nulu tanana miljaru wirdi kunki maninali ngaruparibana wonti.
12But when they believed Philip preaching good news concerning God’s Kingdom and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
12Tanali Philippungu morlalu ngundranani, nulu Godaia mililandru ja Jesuni Christuni talandru kaukaubanani, tanali materali ja widlali multibanila manina wonti.
13Simon himself also believed. Being baptized, he continued with Philip. Seeing signs and great miracles occurring, he was amazed.
13Bakana Simon muntali morlalu ngundrana wonti, ja multibanila manina wonti, ja Philippungu jela ngamana wonti; ja nulu malka ja ngurula pirna pantjinani najina wonti, nau pirna ngaruparana wonti. (Dakani jaura Jaolaia ditji parkulani.)
14Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them,
14Apostel worali Jerusalemani matja ngarana, Samarialali Godaia jaura patala wiri, tanali tanangu Petrus ja Johannes jinpana wonti.
15who, when they had come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit;
15Pudla ngarina wonti, ja tanangundru ngatjina wonti, tanali Jaola kulikiri maninanto.
16for as yet he had fallen on none of them. They had only been baptized in the name of Christ Jesus.
16Ngangau Nauja wata kulnuni tanangundru matja ngarina, a‐ai, tanali windri Kaparaia Christuni tala multibanila manina wonti.
17Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
17Pudla tanangu mara kuraterina wonti, ja tanali Jaola kulikiri manina wonti.
18Now when Simon saw that the Holy Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles’ hands, he offered them money,
18Simonali matja najina, Jaola kulikiri ngarina warai Apostelali mara kuranani, nulu pudlangu mardatandra padakana wonti
19saying, “Give me also this power, that whomever I lay my hands on may receive the Holy Spirit.”
19Ja jatana wonti: „Bakana ngakangu ninapini ngurula jinkialumai, ngangau pratjanali, tanangu ngani mara kuraterinani, Jaola kulikiri maninanto.“
20But Peter said to him, “May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God with money!
20Petrus nunkangu jatana wonti: „Jidni ja jinkani mardatandra turuja wirinanto, ngangau jundru ngundrai Godaia poto mardatandrajeli manila.
21You have neither part nor lot in this matter, for your heart isn’t right before God.
21Jinkangu wata buru ja wata maratunka parai nunkangupini jaurani, ngangau jidni ngara wata talku nganai Godangu.
22Repent therefore of this, your wickedness, and ask God if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you.
22Nunkangupara jinkani tjikatjikandru karitjiau, ja Godangu ngatjiau, Nulia kara jinkanaia ngaraia ngundrani kalingananto.
23For I see that you are in the poison of bitterness and in the bondage of iniquity.”
23Ngangau ngato najiai, jidni puratandraia kaldrini ja tjikatjikaia dupudupuni wirina warai.“
24Simon answered, “Pray for me to the Lord, that none of the things which you have spoken happen to me.”
24Simonali kalabana wonti ja jatana wonti: „Judla ngakangundru Kaparani ngatjialumai, ngangau panila nunkangundru ngakangu wokarananto, mina judla jatana warai.“
25They therefore, when they had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the Good News to many villages of the Samaritans.
25Pudla Kaparaia jaura matja tinkari ngankana ja kaukaubana, pudla Jerusalemia tikana wonti, ja pudlali ngantjani jaura kaukaubana wonti Samaritala ngura marapuni.
26Then an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, “Arise, and go toward the south to the way that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza. This is a desert.”
26Kaparaia angelali Philippungu kaukaubana wonti ja jatana wonti: „Terkakamai, ja kunankaria wapau, nunkangupini paltuni, nau Jerusalemingundru Gazaia ngariai, nau wanka nganai,“
27He arose and went; and behold, there was a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to Jerusalem to worship.
27Ja nau terkakana wonti ja wapana wonti. Ja mai, materi kulno Aethiopiandru, nau eunucha ja Kandace Aethiopia mitaia kaparaia widlaia kana pirna kulno nganana wonti, nina nandru nankani poto pungani kurana wonti, nau Jerusalemingu wokarana wonti ngatjila;
28He was returning and sitting in his chariot, and was reading the prophet Isaiah.
28Ja nau tikana kurana wonti, ja wilparani nunkanani ngamana wonti, ja Propheta Jesaias warapana wonti.
29The Spirit said to Philip, “Go near, and join yourself to this chariot.”
29Jaola Philippungu jatana wonti: „Wapau, ja nunkangupini wilparani karakara mindrindiau.“
30Philip ran to him, and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, “Do you understand what you are reading?”
30Philippus matja karakara mindrindina wonti, ja nina Prophata Jesaias warapanani ngarana wonti ja jatana wonti: „Jundru bakana ngujamai, mina jundru warapai?“
31He said, “How can I, unless someone explains it to me?” He begged Philip to come up and sit with him.
31Nau jatana wonti: „Worderu ngato ngujamananto, wata kulnujeli ngakangu ngujangujara jinkinani?“ Ja nau Philippungu ngatjina wonti tarananto nunkangu jela ngamala.
32Now the passage of the Scripture which he was reading was this, “He was led as a sheep to the slaughter. As a lamb before his shearer is silent, so he doesn’t open his mouth.
32Jaura witta, nina nulu warapanani, naupini nganana wonti: „Tanali ninaia tjipi jeribaka nari nandrala wapalkana wonti; ja Nauja ngapu nganana wonti tjipi kuparu jeribaka nunkani njurdu wokaribanietjani, jeruja Nauja mana wata wilpariai.
33In his humiliation, his judgment was taken away. Who will declare His generation? For his life is taken from the earth.”
33Nunkani wakawakalani kalala nunkani mudana wonti; warle nunkani mardu kaukaubananto? Ngangau nunkani tepi mitandru matja manina.“
34The eunuch answered Philip, “Who is the prophet talking about? About himself, or about someone else?”
34Eunuchali Philippungu kalabana wonti ja jatana wonti: „Ngani jinkangu ngatjiai, worangundru Propheta jenia jatai? Nunkangundru munta kara, kana ngurundru kara?“
35Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture, preached to him about Jesus.
35Philippus mana wilparina wonti, ja nunkangupini jaurandru wonina wonti, ja nunkangu ngantjani jaura Jesungundru kaukaubana wonti.
36As they went on the way, they came to some water; and the eunuch said, “Behold, here is water. What is keeping me from being baptized?”
36Pudla paltuwirdi wapana, pudla ngapani wokarana wonti, ja eunucha jatana wonti: „Najiau, ninkida ngapa nganai! Minali ngandrawalkai, ngato multibanila maninanto?“
no verse 37 in this text
37Philippus jatana wonti: „Jundru ngarali morlalu ngundranani, jenia pantjinanto.“ Nulu kalabana wonti ja jatana wonti: „Ngato morlalu ngundrai Jesus Christus Godaia Ngatamura nganai.“
38He commanded the chariot to stand still, and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him.
38Ja nulu jirijiribana wonti wilpara banbananto, ja pudla ngapaia ngarina wonti, Philippus ja eunucha, ja nulu nina multibana wonti.
39When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, and the eunuch didn’t see him any more, for he went on his way rejoicing.
39Pudla ngapandru matja dunkana tarana, Kaparaia Jaolali Philippus tjirimalkana wonti; ja eunuchali nina wata morla najina wonti; ja nau mankinali nunkani paltuni palkana wonti.
40But Philip was found at Azotus. Passing through, he preached the Good News to all the cities until he came to Caesarea.
40Tanali Philippus Asdod ngurani mankamankana wonti. Ja nau wirarina wonti, ja nulu ngantjani jaura kaukaubana wonti ngura pratjanani, nau Cäsarea wokaranantulu.
