Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
1Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.
1Kana kulno nganana wonti Pharisaiandru, tala nunkani Nikodemus, Juda kanaia kapara kulno.
2He came to Jesus by night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do, unless God is with him.”
2Naupini Jesungu wokarana wonti tinkani, ja nunkangu jatana wonti: „Kaparajai, ngaiani milkila, jidni ngujangujara jinkinietja nganai Godandru wokaranala; ngangau wata kulno ngurunguru nganai tananapini malka ngankala, tanana jundru ngankai, Goda wata nunkangunto ngananani.“
3Jesus answered him, “Most certainly I tell you, unless one is born anew, he can’t see God’s Kingdom.”
3Jesujeli kalabana wonti ja nunkangu jatana wonti: „Morlalu, morlalu, ngani jinkangu jatai: Wata kana marra dankanani, nau ngandandariai Godaia milila najila.“
4Nicodemus said to him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?”
4Nikododemus nunkangu jatana wonti: „Worderu kana marra dankala nganai nau pirna ngananani? Nau poto mandrula ngandri mandrani wirinanto marra dankala?“
5Jesus answered, “Most certainly I tell you, unless one is born of water and Spirit, he can’t enter into God’s Kingdom.
5Jesujeli kalabana wonti: „Morlalu, morlalu, ngani jinkangu jatai: Warle wata marra dankanani ngapali ja Jaolali, nau ngandandarila nganai Godaia mililani wirila.
6That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
6Mina palkujeli dankai, palku nganai; ja mina Jaolali dankai, Jaola nganai.
7Don’t marvel that I said to you, ‘You must all be born anew.’
7Wata ngaruparau, ngangau ngani jinkangu jatana warai: Jura marra dankananto.
8The wind blows where it wants to, and you hear its sound, but don’t know where it comes from and where it is going. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
8Watara ngakai woderi nau jertapateriai ja birungana nunkani jundru ngarai, windri jundru wata ngujamai, woderindru nauja wokarai ja woderi ngakai; jeruja pratjana, tana Jaolandru dankai.“
9Nicodemus answered him, “How can these things be?”
9Nikodemulu kalabana wonti ja nunkangu jatana wonti: „Worderu jenia pantjiai?“
10Jesus answered him, “Are you the teacher of Israel, and don’t understand these things?
10Jesujeli kalabana wonti ja nunkangu jatana wonti: „Jidni ngujangujara jinkinietja nganai Israelani, ja jenia jundru wata ngujamai?
11Most certainly I tell you, we speak that which we know and testify of that which we have seen, and you don’t receive our witness.
11Morlalu, morlalu, ngani jinkangu jatai: Ngaiani jatai mina ngaiani ngujamai, ja kaukaubai mina ngaiani najinala, ja ngaianini tinkari ngankani jura wata patai.
12If I told you earthly things and you don’t believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?
12Ngani mitaia potundru jurangu jatanani, jura wata morlalu ngundranani; worderu morla jura wata morlalu ngundrala nganai, ngani pariwilpaia potundru jurangu jatanani?
13No one has ascended into heaven but he who descended out of heaven, the Son of Man, who is in heaven.
13Ja wata kulno pariwilpaia tarala wapaia, windri Nauja pariwilpandru ngarinala, Kanaia Ngatamura, Nauja pariwilpani nganai.
14As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up,
14Ja worderu Mosili pitarani tjutju miri ngankana wonti, jeruja tanali Kanaia Ngatamura miri ngankananto.
15that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
15Ngangau pratjanali, nunkangu morlalu ngundranani, wata tintaterinanto, a‐ai, tepi ngurali ngamalkananto. (Ngantjani‐jaura Jaolali ditji mandrulani.)
16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only born Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16Ngangau jeruja Godali mitala ngantjana wonti, Nulia Ngatamura Kunakulno nunkani jinkina wonti, ngangau pratjanali tana nunkangu morlalu ngundranani, wata tintaterinanto, a‐ai, tepi ngurali ngamalkananto.
17For God didn’t send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him.
17Ngangau Godali Ngatamura nunkani wata mitani jinpana wonti kalala kurala, a‐ai, Nulu mitala kulkananto.
18He who believes in him is not judged. He who doesn’t believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only born Son of God.
18Warlenulu ninaia morlalu ngundranani wata kalala maninani; ja warlenulu wata morlalu ngundranani kalala matja manina, ngangau nulu Godaia Ngatamuraia Kunakulnuja talani wata morlalu ngundrai.
19This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light, for their works were evil.
19Naupini kalala nganai: Praitji mitani wokarana wonti, ja kanali ngalpuru morla ngantjana wonti praitjani; ngangau ngankana tananani madlentji nganana wonti.
20For everyone who does evil hates the light and doesn’t come to the light, lest his works would be exposed.
20Ngangau warle madlentji ngankai, praitjani kalakalariai, ja wata praitjani wokarai, ngankana nunkani tinkari pantjiati.
21But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in God.”
21Warle morlalulali ngankanani, praitjani wokarala nganai, ngangau ngankana nunkani tinkari pantjinanto, ngangau tanali Godani ngankana warai.“
22After these things, Jesus came with his disciples into the land of Judea. He stayed there with them and baptized.
22Ngadani Jesus ja mili nunkani Judaia mitani wokarana wonti; ja naka Nau ngamana wonti tanangunto ja multibana wonti.
23John also was baptizing in Enon near Salim, because there was much water there. They came and were baptized;
23Ja bakana Johannili multibana wonti Ainoni, Salimingu karakara, ngangau ngapa marapu naka nganana wonti; ja tana wokarana wonti ja multibanila manina wonti.
24for John was not yet thrown into prison.
24Ngangau jendranguta Johannes wata kanjangarini ngamana wonti.
25Therefore a dispute arose on the part of John’s disciples with some Jews about purification.
25Johannini milindru jatamalina pantjina wonti Juda kanani kulirkanandru.
26They came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, he who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified, behold, he baptizes, and everyone is coming to him.”
26Ja tana Johanningu wokarana wonti ja nunkangu jatana wonti: „Rabbi, Naupini jinkangu nganana paraia Jordan kaiarani jerankari, nunkangundru jundru tinkari ngankana paraia, mai, Nau multibai, ja pratjana nunkangu wokarai.“
27John answered, “A man can receive nothing unless it has been given him from heaven.
27Johannili kalabana wonti ja jatana wonti: „Kana kulnujeli ngandandariai palpa manila, nunkangu wata ngopera jinkinala pariwilpandru.
28You yourselves testify that I said, ‘I am not the Christ,’ but, ‘I have been sent before him.’
28Jura muntali ngakangu tinkari ngankai, ngani jatana paraia: Ngani wata Christus nganai, a‐ai, Nulu ngana jinpana wonti nunkangu ngopera.
29He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice. Therefore my joy is made full.
29Warle talpadakani noa ngamalkai, nau noangantjanipirna nganai; ja noangantjanipirnaia kamaneli, nau terkai ja nina ngarai, pirna mankiai noangantjanipirnaia ngaialandru. Naupini mankina pirna ngakani karari manamiri nganai.
30He must increase, but I must decrease.
30Nau pirnarinanto, ngani wakarinanto.
31“He who comes from above is above all. He who is from the earth belongs to the earth and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all.
31Naupini mirindru wokarai morla pirna nganai pratjanani. Worana mitandru nganai, nau mitandru nganai ja mitandru jatai; Nau pariwilpandru wokarai morla pirna nganai pratjanani.
32What he has seen and heard, of that he testifies; and no one receives his witness.
32Mina Nulu najina wonti ja ngarana wonti jenia Nulu tinkari ngankai, ja tinkari ngankani nunkani wata kulnujeli patai.
33He who has received his witness has set his seal to this, that God is true.
33Warle tinkari ngankani nunkani patana warai, nulu jenia morlalu kurana warai Goda morlalu nganai.
34For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for God gives the Spirit without measure.
34Ngangau worana Godali jinpana wonti, Nulu Godaia jaura kaukaubai; ngangau Godali wata Jaola ngalje jinkiai nunkangu.
35The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand.
35Ngaperali Ngatamura ngantjai, ja pratjana Nulia marani nunkanani jinkina wonti.
36One who believes in the Son has eternal life, but one who disobeys the Son won’t see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.”
36Warlenulu Ngatamurani morlalu ngundrai, nulu tepi ngurali ngamalkai; worana Ngatamurani wata pankiai, nulu tepita wata najila nganai, a‐ai, Godaia tiri nunkangu milingeru parai.“
