Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
1Where do wars and fightings among you come from? Don’t they come from your pleasures that war in your members?
1Wodajerindru tirimalini ja wodajerindru jatamalini jurangu jela? Wata jendrangundruja, ngangau jurani milkirina tirimaliai jurani buruni?
2You lust, and don’t have. You murder and covet, and can’t obtain. You fight and make war. You don’t have, because you don’t ask.
2Jura milkiriai, ja wata ngamalkai; jura naria nandrai ja kiri najiai, ja ngandandariai ninaia manila; jura jatamaliai ja tirimaliai, ja panila ngamalkai, ngangau jura wata ngatjiai.
3You ask, and don’t receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your pleasures.
3Jura ngatjiai, ja wata maniai, ngangau jura baku ngatjiai, jura jenia jurani jertapaterinani julkananto.
4You adulterers and adulteresses, don’t you know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
4Jura materi pintawokaribanietja ja widla pintawokaripanietja, jura wata milkila, mitala kamaneli Godaia tula nganai? Warle ngantjai mitala kamaneli nganala, nau Godaia tula ngankateriai.
5Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, “The Spirit who lives in us yearns jealously”?
5Jura ngundrai kara, jaura wora baku jatai: Milkirinali Jaolali ngantjai, ninaia Nulia ngaianangu kurana wonti?
6But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”
6Manjula morla pirna Nulia jinkiai. Jendrangundruja dakanala parai: „Pirna ngundraterinietjani Godali tirimaliai, ja waka ngundranietjani Nulia manjula jinkiai.“
7Be subject therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
7Godani wodatarana ngamanau. Kutjini tirimalianau, jeruja nau kutingala nganai jurangundru.
8Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners. Purify your hearts, you double-minded.
8Karakararianau Godani, ja Nauja jurangu karakararila nganai. Mara kulirkaterianau, kana madlentjajai, ja ngara jurani ninta pirna ngankaterianau, jura ngara pudlamandru.
9Lament, mourn, and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom.
9Burkaljerianau ja ngaurongauro ngamanau ja jindranau; kinkani jurani ngaurongauraia karitjinanto ja mankini wurpuraia.
10Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he will exalt you.
10Kaparani waka ngankaterianau, ja Nulia jurana miri ngankala nganai.
11Don’t speak against one another, brothers. He who speaks against a brother and judges his brother, speaks against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge.
11Wata ngulkuterkijiribamalianimai, ngatata worajai! Warle ngatata kulnuni ngulkuterkai, ja nunkani ngatatani kara kalala kurai, nulu jirijiribani jaurani ngulkuterkai, ja jirijiribani jaurani kalala kurai. Jundru jirijiribani jaurani kalala kuranani, jidni wata jirijiribani jauraia ngankanietja, a‐ai, kalala kuranietja nganai.
12Only one is the lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge another?
12Kulno jirijiribani jaura jinkinietja ja kalala kuranietja nganai, Nauja ngurunguru nganai kulkala ja teribala. Worana jidni nganai, jundru ngatatani kalala kurai?
13Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow let’s go into this city and spend a year there, trade, and make a profit.”
13Mai jura, jura jatai: Karari kara tankubana kara ngaiani nguraia nunkanika kara nunkanika kara palkala nganai, ja naka kilpawoldra kulno ngamala nganai, ja jinkimalila nganai, ja kalikalipaterila nganai;
14Yet you don’t know what your life will be like tomorrow. For what is your life? For you are a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.
14Ja jura ko nganai mina tankubana nganala nganai. Ngangau mina tepi jurani nganai? Nauja jukati nganai, nina kanali wordu najiai, ngadani nau kutingai.
15For you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will both live, and do this or that.”
15Jura kantji jatananto: Kapara jertapaterinani, ja ngaiani tepi ngamanani, ngaiani jenia kara jenia kara ngankala nganai.
16But now you glory in your boasting. All such boasting is evil.
16Ja karari jura jurakokateriai jurani pirna ngankaterinali. Jenipara jurakokaterina madlentji nganai.
17To him therefore who knows to do good and doesn’t do it, to him it is sin.
17Warle milkila ngumu ngankala ja wata ngankai, nunkangu jenia madlentji nganai.
