Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
1Meanwhile, when a multitude of many thousands had gathered together, so much so that they trampled on each other, he began to tell his disciples first of all, “Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
1Jendranguta kana wolara mapaterina wonti 1000 marapu jelalu, jeruja tana tidnali dakamalina wonti. Ja Nulu wonina wonti milini nunkanani jatala: „Ngopera Pharisaiaia pulkurutjeribani bukandru ngamalkaterianau, jenipara jeljujelju.
2But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, nor hidden that will not be known.
2Ngangau panila kuripi nganai, nau wata tinkari pantjila nganai; ja panila kurukuru nganai, nina tanali wata ngujamala nganai.
3Therefore whatever you have said in the darkness will be heard in the light. What you have spoken in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed on the housetops.
3Jendrania, mina jura ngalpurani jatana warai, jenia tanali praitjani ngarala nganai! ja mina jura talpani punga bitini kaukaubana warai, jenia tanali punga mangatandrani kaukaubala nganai.
4“I tell you, my friends, don’t be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
4Ngani jurangu, kamanelini ngakanani, jatai: Wata tanangundru japali ngananau, tanali palku nari ngankai, ja ngadani tana ngandandariai morla ngankala.
5But I will warn you whom you should fear. Fear him who after he has killed, has power to cast into Gehenna. Yes, I tell you, fear him.
5Ngato jurangu wondrala nganai, worangundru jura japali nganananto; nunkangundru japali ngananau, Nulia matja nari ngankana, bakana ngurula ngamalkai turuja teribala; kau, ngani jurangu jatai, nunkangundru japali ngananau.
6“Aren’t five sparrows sold for two assaria coins ? Not one of them is forgotten by God.
6Tanali wata tiwilitja mara worali mardatandra waka mandrundru jinkimaliai? ja Goda wata kulno tanangundru kuritarana warai.
7But the very hairs of your head are all counted. Therefore don’t be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.
7Bakana para pratjana jurani mangatandrani matja windamana. Wata japali ngananau; ngangau jura morla pirna nganai tiwilitja marapuni.
8“I tell you, everyone who confesses me before men, the Son of Man will also confess before the angels of God;
8Ngani jurangu jatai: Warle ngana dikala nganai kanani, nina bakana Kanaia Ngatamurajeli dikala nganai Godaia angelani.
9but he who denies me in the presence of men will be denied in the presence of God’s angels.
9Warle ngana kutikutibala nganai kanani, nina ngato kutikutibala nganai Godaia angelani.
10Everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but those who blaspheme against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
10Ja warle jaura madlentji jatanani Kanaia Ngatamurani, nunkangu Nulia kalingala nganai; ja warle Jaola kulikiri ngirkibai, nunkangu Nulia wata kalingala nganai.
11When they bring you before the synagogues, the rulers, and the authorities, don’t be anxious how or what you will answer or what you will say;
11Tanali jurana jaura pungani ja mitaia kaparani ja ngurulani wapalkanani, wata manujeli ngundranau worderu kara, mina kara jura kalabananto kara jatananto kara.
12for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that same hour what you must say.”
12Ngangau Jaolali kulikirieli jurana nunkangupini ditjini kiri ngankala nganai, mina jura jatananto.“
13One of the multitude said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”
13Kana wolarandru kulno nunkangu jatana wonti: „Ngujangujara jinkinietjajai, nejini ugakanani jatamai, nulungali poto maratunka puntibananto.“
14But he said to him, “Man, who made me a judge or an arbitrator over you?”
14Nau nunkangu jatana wonti: „Kanajai, warlenulu ngana talku jatanietja kara, poto maratunka puntibijiribanietja jurangu kurana warai?“
15He said to them, “Beware! Keep yourselves from covetousness, for a man’s life doesn’t consist of the abundance of the things which he possesses.”
15Nau tanangu jatana wonti: „Najinajibaterianau ja ngamalkaterianau poto manujeli ngundranadru; ngangau kana kulno wata tepiriai, nulu poto marapu ngamalkanani.“
16He spoke a parable to them, saying, “The ground of a certain rich man produced abundantly.
16Nulu tanangu jeribaka jaura kaukaubana wonti ja jatana wonti: „Kana poto pirnaia mitali marapu mandrana wonti.
17He reasoned within himself, saying, ‘What will I do, because I don’t have room to store my crops?’
17Ja nulu muntali ngundrana wonti ja jatana wonti: «Mina ngato ngankala nganai, ngangau ngato wata piri ngamalkai, woderi ngato tandra ngakani kurananto?»
18He said, ‘This is what I will do. I will pull down my barns, build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.
18Ja Nau jatana wonti: Jenia ngato ngankala nganai; Ngato kampani punga ngakani wokaribala nganai ja morla pirna wotila nganai, ja jerra ngato pratjana kurala nganai, mina ngakangu matja punkana, ja poto ngakani.
19I will tell my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years. Take your ease, eat, drink, and be merry.”’
19Ja ngani mungarani ngakanani jatala nganai: «Mungarajai, jundru poto marapu ngamalkai kilpawoldra marapuja; ngara ngamamai, tajiau, tapau, tepiriau!»
20“But God said to him, ‘You foolish one, tonight your soul is required of you. The things which you have prepared—whose will they be?’
20Goda nunkangu jatana wonti: «Jidni kana patipatiai! nunkangupini tinkani Nulia mungara jinkani karkala nganai; wanini jenia nganala nganai, mina jundru matja ngankingana?»
21So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”
21Jeruja nau nganai, nulu nunkangu muntali poto kampai, ja wata poto pirna nganai Godani.“
22He said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life, what you will eat, nor yet for your body, what you will wear.
22Nau milini nunkanani jatana wonti: „Jendrania ngani jurangu jatai: Wata manujeli ngundranau tepini juranani, mina jura tajila nganai, bakana wata palkuni juranani, mina jura widmaterila nganai.
23Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.
23Tepi morla pirna nganai bukani, ja palku morla pirna katini.
24Consider the ravens: they don’t sow, they don’t reap, they have no warehouse or barn, and God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than birds!
24Kawalka najianau; ngangau tanalia wata jaupai ja wata kampai, ja wata tajina pnnga ja kampani punga ngamalkai, ja Godali tananaia jerto ngankai; worderu morla pirna jura nganai paiani?
25Which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his height?
25Worana jurangundru ngurunguru nganai, tepini nunkanani tintipidi kulno juri ngankala manujeli ngundraterinali?
26If then you aren’t able to do even the least things, why are you anxious about the rest?
26Jura ngandandarinani wakawakani, minandru jura manujeli ngundrai pilkilani?
27Consider the lilies, how they grow. They don’t toil, neither do they spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
27Ngunandula najianau, worderu tanaia punkai; tanalia wata ngankai ja wata turpai; ngani jurangu jatai: Bakana Salomo pirnalani nunkanani pratjanani wata widmaterina wonti tanangundru kulnuni jeribaka.
28But if this is how God clothes the grass in the field, which today exists and tomorrow is cast into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith?
28Godali kanta jeruja widmanani, nauja karari maruni terkai, ja tankubana tanali ninaia turupirini worai; worderu morla jurangu, jura wuldrungundranietja worajai!
29“Don’t seek what you will eat or what you will drink; neither be anxious.
29Bakana jura wata manujeli ngundranau, mina jura tajila nganai kara, mina jura tapala nganai kara, ja wata milkirianau!
30For the nations of the world seek after all of these things, but your Father knows that you need these things.
30Jenia pratjana mitaia kanali wontiai; Ngaperi jurani milkila, jura jenia pratjana ngamalkananto.
31But seek God’s Kingdom, and all these things will be added to you.
31Wontianau Godaia milila, ja jenia pratjana Nulia jurangu jinkila nganai.
32“Don’t be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.
32Wata japali ngangau, ngangau jidni ngami wakawaka; ngangau Ngaperi jurani jertapaterina wonti jurangu milila jinkila.
33Sell what you have and give gifts to the needy. Make for yourselves purses which don’t grow old, a treasure in the heavens that doesn’t fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.
33Buru ngankanau mina jura ngamalkai, ja wangiwangini bakujeli jinkianau. Jurangu billi ngankanau, tana wata womala pantjiai; poto pariwilpani nau wata mudai, woderi kurikantji wata karakara wokarai, ja bakana wata kakatjieli tajiai.
34For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
34Ngangau woderi ngantjani poto jurani parai, naka bakana jurani ngara nganai.
35“Let your waist be dressed and your lamps burning.
35Jura kapa ngampianau, ja praitji jurani mintjianau.
36Be like men watching for their lord when he returns from the wedding feast, that when he comes and knocks, they may immediately open to him.
36Jenipara kanani jeribaka ngananau, tanali kaparani tananani kalkai, nunkangu nurujeli mana walto ngankala, nau noapatamalini ditjindru wokarala tikanani ja nandranandranani.
37Blessed are those servants whom the lord will find watching when he comes. Most certainly I tell you that he will dress himself, make them recline, and will come and serve them.
37Murlali pirna tanapara mili, tanana kaparali tananali, nau wokarana tikanani, tepi mankamankala nganai. Morlalu ngani jurangu jatai: «Nau ngampipaterila nganai, ja tanangu manuni kurala nganai kurlini ngamana ngarinanto, ja nau wapala nganai tanangu mili nganala.»
38They will be blessed if he comes in the second or third watch and finds them so.
38Ja nau tinka terti kara, nguramaranaia woljaia kara wokaranani, ja tanana jeruja mankamankanani: Murlali pirna tanapini mili!
39But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into.
39Jenia ngujamanau, punga ngamalkanietja milkila ngananani, mina ditji tinkani kurikantji wokarai, nau tepi ngamala nganai ja ngandrawalkala nganai, nau wata pungani nunkanani wirinanto.
40Therefore be ready also, for the Son of Man is coming in an hour that you don’t expect him.”
40Bakana jura ngankingaterianau! ngangau ditji kulnuni, nina jura wata ngundrai, Kanaia Ngatamura wokarala nganai.“
41Peter said to him, “Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or to everybody?”
41Petrus nunkangu jatana wonti: „Kaparajai, jidni ninapini jeribaka jaura ngaianingu jatai kara marapuni kara.“
42The Lord said, “Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord will set over his household, to give them their portion of food at the right times?
42Kapara jatana wonti: „Worana punga ngamalkanietja talku ja kiri nganai, nina kaparali najinajibanietja milini nunkanani kurala nganai, nulu tanangu buka ditji talkuni jinkinanto.
43Blessed is that servant whom his lord will find doing so when he comes.
43Murlali pirna jenipara mili, nina kaparali nunkanali, nau wokarana tikanani, jeruja ngankanani mankamankala nganai.
44Truly I tell you that he will set him over all that he has.
44Morlalu ngani jurangu jatai: Nulu nina kapara kurala nganai nunkani poto pratjanani.
45But if that servant says in his heart, ‘My lord delays his coming,’ and begins to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink and to be drunken,
45Naupara mili ngarali nunkanali jatanani: Kapara ngakani kalkai wokarala, ja nau woninani mili materi ja mili widla nandrala, tajila ja tapala ja parawarala.
46then the lord of that servant will come in a day when he isn’t expecting him and in an hour that he doesn’t know, and will cut him in two, and place his portion with the unfaithful.
46Jenipara milia kapara wokarala nganai miljaru kulnuni, nina nulu wata ngundrai, ja ditji kulnuni, nina nulu wata ngujamai, ja nina terti tjelapalkala nganai, ja nunkangu kalala nunkani kana tjikatjikani jeribaka kurala nganai.
47That servant who knew his lord’s will, and didn’t prepare nor do what he wanted, will be beaten with many stripes,
47Jenipara milieli, nulu kaparaia nunkanaia jertapaterina ngujamai, ja wata ngankingana warai, ja bakana jertapaterinani nunkanani wata pankina warai, nandrana marapu manila nganai.
48but he who didn’t know, and did things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few stripes. To whomever much is given, of him will much be required; and to whom much was entrusted, of him more will be asked.
48Warle nina wata ngujamana warai, ja jenia ngankana warai, minandru nulu nandrana maninanto, nulu nandrana ngalje manila nganai. Nunkangundru, nunkangu marapu matja jinkina, Nulia marapu wontila nganai; ja worangu Nulia marapu jinkina warai, morla marapu Nulia nunkangundru karkala nganai.
49“I came to throw fire on the earth. I wish it were already kindled.
49Ngani wokarana wonti turu mitani worala, ja ngato ngantjai, nau matja jerkinanto!
50But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!
50Multibanila kulno ngato maninanto, ja worderu japali ngani nganai nau mudanantulu!
51Do you think that I have come to give peace on the earth? I tell you, no, but rather division.
51Wata ngundranau, ngani wokarana warai murla jinkila mitani, a‐ai, windri puntibala.
52For from now on, there will be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
52Ngangau kararindru mara wora punga kulnuni puntibijiribamalila nganai; parkulu mandruni ja mandru parkulani.
53They will be divided, father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against her mother; mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.”
53Ngaperali puntibala nganai ngatamurani ja ngatamurajeli ngaperani; ngandrieli ngatani mankarani ja ngatani mankarali ngandrini; paiarali kalarani nankanani, ja kalarali paiarani nankanani.“
54He said to the multitudes also, “When you see a cloud rising from the west, immediately you say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and so it happens.
54Nau bakana kana wolarani jatana wonti: „Jura talara palku kulno kalkaura jendakarani dunkanani najinani, jura nurujeli jatai: Kunditji wokarai, ja jeruja morlalu pantjiai.
55When a south wind blows, you say, ‘There will be a scorching heat,’ and it happens.
55Ja jura kunankari watara ngakanani najinani, jura jatai: «Woldra pirna pantjila nganai, ja jeruja morlalu pantjiai.»
56You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky, but how is it that you don’t interpret this time?
56Jura kana jeljujelju! mitaia ja pariwilpaia mudla jura ngujamai wontjala; minandru jura ninapini miljaru wata wontjai?
57“Why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?
57Minandru jura wata muntali tjurujeli ngundrai mina talku nganai?
58For when you are going with your adversary before the magistrate, try diligently on the way to be released from him, lest perhaps he drag you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison.
58Ngangau jidni talpalani jinkanani jelalu mitaia kaparani wapanani, paltuni jigleri ngankau nunkangu kulnukulnuni nganala; ngangau nulu jidnana kalala kuranietjani wapal‐kaiati, ja kalala kuranietjali jidnana milini jinkiati, ja milieli jidnana kanjangari pungani widmaiati.
59I tell you, you will by no means get out of there until you have paid the very last penny. ”
59Morlalu ngani jinkangu jatai: «Jidni wata morla nakandru dunkala nganai, jundru ngopera mudani marda jinkinantulu.»“
