Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
1But I say that so long as the heir is a child, he is no different from a bondservant, though he is lord of all,
1Ngani jatai: Jeruntja ditji maratunka maninietja kupa nganai, nau milini jeribaka nganai, ja kantji warupotuja kapara nau nganai;
2but is under guardians and stewards until the day appointed by the father.
2A‐ai, nau najinajibanietjani ja ngamalkanietjani ngamai, nunkangupini ditjielu, nina ngaperali kurana warai.
3So we also, when we were children, were held in bondage under the elemental principles of the world.
3Jeruja bakana ngaiani, ngaiani kupa ngananani, ngaiani jirijiribani jaurani dupudupu nganana wonti.
4But when the fullness of the time came, God sent out his Son, born to a woman, born under the law,
4Ditji matja wokaranani, Godali Ngatamura nunkani jinpana wonti, Nauja widlandru dankana wonti, ja Nulia ninaia jirijiribani jauraia ngalpani kurana wonti,
5that he might redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as children.
5Nulia tanana, tana jirijiribani jaurani ngalpani ngamanani, dukarana burungankananto, ngaiani kupalali maninanto.
6And because you are children, God sent out the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, “Abba, Father!”
6Ngangau jura ngatamura nganai, Godali Ngatamuraia Jaola ngaianini ngarani jinpana wonti, nulupini karkai: „Abba, Ngaperiai!“
7So you are no longer a bondservant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
7Jeruja jidni wata morla mili nganai, a‐ai, ngatamura. Jidni ngatamura ngananani, jeruja bakana Godaia maratunka maninietja Christungundru.
8However at that time, not knowing God, you were in bondage to those who by nature are not gods.
8Jendranguta, jura Goda wata ngujamana wonti, jura tanangupini Godani wodatarana ngamana wonti, tana jenia wata kantji nganai;
9But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, why do you turn back again to the weak and miserable elemental principles, to which you desire to be in bondage all over again?
9Karari, jura Goda matja ngujamana, morla talku, Godali jurana matja ngujamana, minandru jura nakaldra karitjiai jirijiribani jaura wangiwangini ja waltowaltuni, ja ngantjai tanangu nakaldra wodatarana ngamala?
10You observe days, months, seasons, and years.
10Jura ditji ja pira ja miljaru ja kilpawoldra ngundrai;
11I am afraid for you, that I might have wasted my labor for you.
11Ngani japali nganai jurangundru, ngato bakujeli jurangu matja ngankana warai kara.
12I beg you, brothers, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. You did me no wrong,
12Ngakangu jeribaka pantjianau, ngangau ngani jurangu jeribaka nganai, ngatata worajai, ngani jurangu ngantjai, jura ngana wata ngaurongauro ngankana warai;
13but you know that because of weakness in the flesh I preached the Good News to you the first time.
13Jura milkila, ngato palkuja waltowaltundru jurangu ngopera ngantjani jaura kaukaubana wonti,
14That which was a temptation to you in my flesh, you didn’t despise nor reject; but you received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.
14Ja jura ngana, wontjanilandru ngakangu, palkuni wata waka ngundrana wonti ja wata ngirkibana wonti, a‐ai, jura ngana Godaia angela jeribaka patana wonti, Christus Jesus jeribaka.
15What was the blessing you enjoyed? For I testify to you that, if possible, you would have plucked out your eyes and given them to me.
15Worderu murlali pirna jura jendranguta nganana wonti. Ngato jurangu morlalu kurai, jenia wata ngandandarinani, jura jendranguta jurani milki dukaraterinala ja ngakangu jinkinala.
16So then, have I become your enemy by telling you the truth?
16Ngani jendrangundruja talpala jurani pantjina warai, ngangau ngani jurangu morlaluta jatana wonti?
17They zealously seek you in no good way. No, they desire to alienate you, that you may seek them.
17Tanali jurangundru wata ngumu manabakapirna ngankai, a‐ai, tanali ngantjai jurana puntibala, jura tanangundru manabakapirna ngankananto.
18But it is always good to be zealous in a good cause, and not only when I am present with you.
18Manabakapirna ngumu nganai, jenia ngumuni milingeru pantjinani, ja wata windri, ngani jurangu jela ngananani.
19My little children, of whom I am again in travail until Christ is formed in you—
19Ngakani kupa worajai, tanangundru ngato nakaldra dankani ketjaketjana ketjaketjai, Christus jurangu mudlamalka pantjinantulu.
20but I could wish to be present with you now, and to change my tone, for I am perplexed about you.
20Ngato ngantjai karari jurangu jela ngamala, ja ngakani ngaiala karitjimalkala; ngangau ngani wurpuru nganai jurangundru. (Dakani jaura Lätare ditjini.)
21Tell me, you that desire to be under the law, don’t you listen to the law?
21Ngakangu jatanau, jura jirijiribani jauraia ngalpani jertapateriai ngamala, jura jirijiribani jaura wata ngarai?
22For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the servant, and one by the free woman.
22Ngangau dakanala parai: Abrahamali ngatamura mandru ngamalkana wonti; kulno widlala milila, ja kulno kurakanilali.
23However, the son by the servant was born according to the flesh, but the son by the free woman was born through promise.
23Nau widlala milila palkujeli kantji patana wonti; ja nau kurakanilali talpadakani jaurali.
24These things contain an allegory, for these are two covenants. One is from Mount Sinai, bearing children to bondage, which is Hagar.
24Nulupini minakulno wondrai; ngangau jenia Testamenta mandru nganai. Kulno Sinai mardawonpandru, milieli dankanaia, naupini Hagar nganai.
25For this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and answers to the Jerusalem that exists now, for she is in bondage with her children.
25Ngangau Arabiala Sinai mardawonpa Hagar dikai, ja jeribaka nganai nunkangupini Jerusalem karari, ngangau nau mili nganai nunkani kupanto.
26But the Jerusalem that is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
26Jerusalem miri kurakanila nganai; ja naupini ngaiananaia pratjanaia ngandri nganai.
27For it is written, “Rejoice, you barren who don’t bear. Break out and shout, you who don’t travail. For the desolate women have more children than her who has a husband.”
27Ngangau dakanala parai: Mankiau ngameriai, jundru wata dankai; jurakokau ja karkau, jundru wata mandrantju pantjiai. Ngangau ngameri morla kupa ngamalkai nankangu, nandru noa ngamalkanani.
28Now we, brothers, as Isaac was, are children of promise.
28Jura, ngatata worajai, Isaakani nguja nganai; talpadakani jauraia kupa.
29But as then, he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so also it is now.
29Worderu jendranguta, nau palkujeli dankana wonti, nunkangu, nau jaolali dankana wonti, tirikaripaterina wonti; jeruja bakana karari.
30However, what does the Scripture say? “Throw out the servant and her son, for the son of the servant will not inherit with the son of the free woman.”
30Mina Godaia jaura jatai? „Mili widla nankani ngatananto narrau, ngangau mili widlaia ngatanajeli wata maratunka maninanto kurakanilaia ngatanajeli jela.“
31So then, brothers, we are not children of a servant, but of the free woman.
31Jeruja, ngatata worajai, ngaiana wata mili widlaia ngatani nganai, a‐ai, kurakanilaia.
