Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
1James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are in the Dispersion: Greetings.
1Jakobus, Godaia ja Kaparaia Jesuni Christuni mili, mardu marapratjana ja mandruni piltjarani, mankini ngopera!
2Count it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations,
2Mankini pirna jenia ngundranau, ngakani ngatata wo rajai, jura wontjanani pilki ja pilkini purinani,
3knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
3Ngangau jura ngujamananto, jurani morlalu ngundranaia wontjani manju ngankai.
4Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
4Manju ngankana manamirini wokarananto, ngangau jura manamiri ja talku ngamananto, ja wata poto kulnuni ngadaia nganananto.
5But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
5Kulno jurangundru ngadaia ngananani kirini, nau Godani ngatjinanto, Nulia pratjanani talku jinkiai, ja wata kulnuni tjakakai, ja Nulia jenia nunkangu jinkila nganai.
6But let him ask in faith, without any doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed.
6Nulu morlalu ngundranali ngatjiatimai mangangankani panieli; ngangau mangangankanietja panto pirnaia mandikila jeribaka nganai, nina watarali patijiritjibai ja njudakai.
7For that man shouldn’t think that he will receive anything from the Lord.
7Jendralipara kanali wata ngundraiatimai, nulu minakulno Kaparandru manila nganai.
8He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
8Kana ngarapudlamandru maraltja nganai nunkani palto pratjanani.
9Let the brother in humble circumstances glory in his high position;
9Ngatata waka jurakokateriatimai nunkani pirnali,
10and the rich, in that he is made humble, because like the flower in the grass, he will pass away.
10Kana poto pirnanto nunkani wakali, ngangau nau kantaia tiwi jeribaka mudala nganai.
11For the sun arises with the scorching wind and withers the grass; and the flower in it falls, and the beauty of its appearance perishes. So the rich man will also fade away in his pursuits.
11Ngangau ditji dunkana warai ja bakana kalinguru, ja nulu kanta muja ngankana warai, ja nunkani tiwi purina warai, ja nunkani talka mudana warai; jeruja bakana kana poto pirnanto nunkani paltuni mujarila nganai.
12Blessed is a person who endures temptation, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord promised to those who love him.
12Murlali pirna naupini kana nganai, nau wontjanani manju nganai; ngangau nau matja wonki ngananani, nulu tepia pirapira manila nganai, ninaia Kaparali talpadakana wonti tanangu, tanali ninaia ngantjai.
13Let no man say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God,” for God can’t be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one.
13Wata kulno jatajatanau, nau wontjanani nganai: Godali ngana wontjai. Ngangau Goda ngandandariai wontjanani wokarala madlentjaia, ja Nulia muntali wata kulno wontjai.
14But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own lust and enticed.
14Kulno wontjanani wokarai, nina nunkani jertapaterina dunkalkanani ja karkarkanani.
15Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin. The sin, when it is full grown, produces death.
15Ngadani, jertapaterina matja kantjirina, nulia madlentji dankai; ja madlentjali kantji mudanani, nulia nari dankai. (Dakani jaura Cantate ditjini.)
16Don’t be deceived, my beloved brothers.
16Wata tjautjau ngundranau, ngakani ngatata ngantjalu worajai.
17Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation nor turning shadow.
17Jinkini poto ngumu pratjana, ja manamiri bakujeli jinkini poto pratjana mirindru wokarai, praitji worani Ngaperandru, nunkangu wata karitjini parai, ja wata pungala, nau karitjinandru wokarai.
18Of his own will he gave birth to us by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.
18Jertapaterinali nunkanali muntali Nulia ngaianana kantji patana wonti jaura morlalulali, ngangau ngaiana nunkani pantjimani potuja ngoperala nganananto.
19So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;
19Ngujamanau, ngakani ngatata worajai: Kana pratjana nurujeli nganananto ngaranaia, mankali kaukaubanaia, mankali tiria;
20for the anger of man doesn’t produce the righteousness of God.
20Ngangau kana kulnuja tiri wata Godaia talkula ngankingai.
21Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
21Jendrangundruja murumuru pratjana ja tjilpi pratjana, tana tjikatjikandru punkai, woraranau, ja malti patanau ninapini jaura, ninaia Nulia jurangu kurana wonti, nauja ngurunguru nganai jurani mungara kulkala. (Dakani jaura Rogate ditjini.)
22But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.
22Jauraia ngankanietja pantjianau, ja wata windri ngaranietja, jura munta jedibateriati.
23For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his natural face in a mirror;
23Ngangau kana kulno windri jauraia ngaranietja ngananani, ja wata ngankanietja, naupini kana kulnuni jeribaka nganai, nulu palku mudla nunkani milkitjerini najiteriai.
24for he sees himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.
24Ja nau matja najiterina, nau wapai, ja nurujeli nau kuritarai, worderu nau mudla.
25But he who looks into the perfect law of freedom and continues, not being a hearer who forgets but a doer of the work, this man will be blessed in what he does.
25Ja warle kurakani jirijiribani jaura manamirilani matja najina, ja nunkangu wonki nganai, ja warle wata windri kuritarani ngaranietja nganai, a‐ai, ngankanietja morlalu, naupini murlali pirna nganala nganai nunkani ngankanani.
26If anyone among you thinks himself to be religious while he doesn’t bridle his tongue, but deceives his heart, this man’s religion is worthless.
26Kulno ngundraterinani ngumu nganala, ja tali nunkani wata patai, a‐ai, ngara nunkani karkarkateriai, nunkani ngumula baku nganai.
27Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
27Ngumula kulikiri ja murumuru pani Godani Ngaperani jenipara nganai: Ngamuru ja mangawaru tanani jeninani najila, ja munta mitalandru murumuru pani ngamalkaterila.
