Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
1Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to his disciples,
1Ngadani Jesujeli kana wolarani ja milini nunkanani kaukaubana wonti,
2saying, “The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat.
2Ja jatana wonti: „Mosini ngamani pirini jaura jinkinietja ja Pharisaia wora ngamai.
3All things therefore whatever they tell you to observe, observe and do, but don’t do their works; for they say, and don’t do.
3Pratjana, mina tana jurangu jatai, jura ngamalkananto, jenia ngamalkanimai, ja ngankanimai; tanani ngankanani jeribaka wata ngankanimai, ngangau tana jatai, ja wata ngankai.
4For they bind heavy burdens that are grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not lift a finger to help them.
4Tanali bururu mati ja morla wondra workaworkamandrai ja kanani pilpirani kurai; windri tanali muntali wata ngantjai tanana mara ngalkieli patala.
5But they do all their works to be seen by men. They make their phylacteries broad and enlarge the fringes of their garments,
5Tanani ngankana pratjana tanali ngankai, kanali tanana najinanto; tanali tjerapu maru ngankai ja katijelbi wirdi ngankai;
6and love the place of honor at feasts, the best seats in the synagogues,
6Tanali ngantjai piri ngopera buka pirnani ja piri ngopera jaura pungani;
7the salutations in the marketplaces, and to be called ‘Rabbi, Rabbi’ by men.
7Ja jaura murlali jinkimalini pirini, ja kanali tanana «Rabbi» dikananto.
8But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi’, for one is your teacher, the Christ, and all of you are brothers.
8Tanali jurana wata «Rabbi» dikananto, ngangau Kulno jurani ngujangujara jinkinietja nganai, ja jura pratjana ngatata mara nganai.
9Call no man on the earth your father, for one is your Father, he who is in heaven.
9Ja wata kulno jurangundru ngaperi dikanimai mitani, ngangau Kulno Ngapari jurani nganai, Nauja pariwilpani.
10Neither be called masters, for one is your master, the Christ.
10Tanali jurana wata ngujangujara jinkinietja dikananto, ngangau Kulno ngujangujara jinkinietja jurani nganai, Christus.
11But he who is greatest among you will be your servant.
11Worana jurangundru morla pirna nganai, nauja jurani mili nganaiatimai.
12Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
12Warle pirna ngankateriai, nau waka pantjila nganai, ja warle waka ngankateriai, nau pirna pantjila nganai.
13“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you devour widows’ houses, and as a pretense you make long prayers. Therefore you will receive greater condemnation.
13Jakajai jurangu, jura jaura jinkinietja ja Pharisaia, jura kana jeljujelju! ngangau jura pariwilpaia milila ngandrawalkai kanani; ngangau jura munta wata wiriai, ja tana wirinani, jura ngandrawalkai wirinanto.
14“But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you shut up the Kingdom of Heaven against men; for you don’t enter in yourselves, neither do you allow those who are entering in to enter.
14Jakajai jurangu, jura jaura jinkinietja ja Pharisaia, jura kana jeljujelju! ngangau jura mangawaruja punga tajiai ja ngatjina wirdieli wondralkai; jendrangundruja jura kalala morla pirna manila nganai.
15Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel around by sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of Gehenna as yourselves.
15Jakajai jurangu jura jaura jinkinietja ja Pharisaia, jura kana jeljujelju! jura panto pirnani ja mita mujani wirariai Juda kanaia kamaneli kulno ngankala, ja nau matja pantjina, jura nina turuja kupa ngankai pota mandru morla pirna jurangu.
16“Woe to you, you blind guides, who say, ‘Whoever swears by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple, he is obligated.’
16Jakajai jurangu, jura paltowondranietja butju! jura jatai: Warle Godaia pungani jaura morlalu kurai, jenia panila nganai; ja warle Godaia pungaia marda maraljani jaura morlalu kurai, nau bakuwilpa nganai.
17You blind fools! For which is greater, the gold or the temple that sanctifies the gold?
17Jura kana patipati ja butju! mina morla pirna nganai, marda maralje kara, Godaia punga kara, nulu nina marda maralje kulikiri ngankai?
18And, ‘Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is on it, he is obligated.’
18Ja: Warle jaura morlalu kurai Altarani, jenia panila nganai; warle jaura morlalu kurai potuni, nau nunkangu parai, nau bakuwilpa nganai.
19You blind fools! For which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifies the gift?
19Jura kana patipati ja butju! mina morla pirna nganai, poto kara, Altara kara, nulu poto kulikiri ngankai?
20He therefore who swears by the altar, swears by it and by everything on it.
20Warle Altarani jaura morlalu kurai, nulu jaura morlalu kurai nunkangu ja pratjana nunkangu paranani;
21He who swears by the temple, swears by it and by him who has been living in it.
21Ja warle jaura morlalu kurai Godaia pungani, nulu jaura morlalu kurai nunkangupini ja nunkangu, Nauja mandrani ngamai;
22He who swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God and by him who sits on it.
22Ja warle jaura morlalu kurai pariwilpani, nulu jaura morlalu kurai Godaia ngamani pirini, ja nunkangu, Nauja nunkangu ngamai.
23“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint, dill, and cumin, and have left undone the weightier matters of the law: justice, mercy, and faith. But you ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.
23Jakajai jurangu, jura jaura jinkinietja ja Pharisaia, jura kana jeljujelju! ngangau jura manjura ja kalumba ja paua puntibai ja buru kulno marapratjanandru Godani jinkiai, ja jirijiribani jaura mati: Kalala ja kalumiltjamiltjarina ja morlalu ngundrana jura worarai. Tananapini jura ngankananto ja jenia wata worarananto.
24You blind guides, who strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel!
24Paltowondranietja butju! jura wajluru ngandrawalkai ja Camuli julkai.
25“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and unrighteousness.
25Jakajai jurangu, jura jaura jinkinietja ja Pharisaia, jura kana jeljujelju! jura koko ja pirra tokuni kulikiri ngankai, ja mandrani puturu ja ngurdi nganai.
26You blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and of the platter, that its outside may become clean also.
26Pharisaia butjujai! ngopera koko ja pirra mandrani kulikiri ngankamai, jeruja bakana toku kulikiririnanto.
27“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitened tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but inwardly are full of dead men’s bones and of all uncleanness.
27Jakajai jurangu, jura jaura jinkinietja ja Pharisaia, jura kana jeljujelju! ngangau jura wiribani nariwonpa jeribaka nganai, tanana palarani ngumu najiai ja mandrani narimoku ja murumuru manamiri nganai.
28Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
28Jeruja bakana jura, palarani jura talku wondrateriai kanani, ja mandrani jura jeljujelju ja madlentji manamiri nganai.
29“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets and decorate the tombs of the righteous,
29Jakajai jurangu, jura jaura jinkinietja ja Pharisaia, jura kana jeljujelju! ngangau jura Prophetaia nariwonpa ngankijiribai ja kana talkuja nariwonpa tjirkatjirkai,
30and say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we wouldn’t have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.’
30Ja jura jatai: Matja ngaiana ngaperaia ngaiananaia ditjini ngamanani, ngaiana wata tanani kamaneli Prophetaia kumarani ngananani;
31Therefore you testify to yourselves that you are children of those who killed the prophets.
31Jeruja jura muntali morlalu kurai, jura Propheta nari nandranietjaia ngatamura nganai.
32Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers.
32Ja jura ngaperaia juranaia koko manamiri ngankanau!
33You serpents, you offspring of vipers, how will you escape the judgment of Gehenna?
33Jura tjutju ja wiparaia kuparu worajai! worderu jura turuja kalalandru puntila nganai? (Ngantjani‐jaura Jesuja kupa dankani ditjini mandrulani ja Stephanani ditjini.)
34Therefore, behold, I send to you prophets, wise men, and scribes. Some of them you will kill and crucify; and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from city to city,
34Mai, jendrania ngato jurangu Propheta worana ja kana kiri ja jaura jinkinietja worana jinpai; tanangundru jura palpa naria nandrala nganai ja palpa kunarkuni katibala nganai, ja tanangundru palpa jura jaura pungani juranani nandrala nganai ja ngura kulnundru ngura kulnuja tanangu tirikaripaterila nganai.
35that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zachariah son of Barachiah, whom you killed between the sanctuary and the altar.
35Ngangau jurangu wokarananto kumari talku pratjana, jenia mitani nangana, Abel talkuja kumarandru Zachariani, Barachiani ngatamuraia kumaranilu, nina jura Godaia pungani ja Altarani terti naria nandrana wonti.
36Most certainly I tell you, all these things will come upon this generation.
36Morlalu ngani jurangu jatai: Jenia pratjana nunkangupini ngujani wokarala nganai.
37“Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I would have gathered your children together, even as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you would not!
37Jerusalemiai, Jerusalemiai, jundru Propheta worana nandrai ja mardali dakai tanana jinkangu jinpanala; worderuntja pota ngato kupa jinkani jertapaterina wonti mapala, worderu warugati ngandrieli nankani wolka nankani ngaruni mapai, ja jura wata ngantjana wonti.
38Behold, your house is left to you desolate.
38Mai, punga jurani ngurawalpa parala nganai.
39For I tell you, you will not see me from now on, until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!’”
39Ngangau ngani jurangu jatai: Kararindru jura ngana wata morla najila nganai, jura jatanantulu: Ngaiani jurakokai ninaia, Nauja wokarai Kaparaia talani!“
