It's not possible to jump start a diesel unless you've got some very expensive and heavy jumper cables. Even those cables are marginal due to the insufficient contact area of the clamps. Therefore, any judgment made on the performance of the starter based upon the use of jumper cables is, by definition, erroneous.
Replace the battery, thoroughly clean the cable clamps, and your starting problem will disappear.
