1This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.
1 Ay ga ba ka kaayaŋ hinzanta te araŋ do. «Seeda hinka wala ihinza me ra no sanni kulu ga tabbat.»
2I told you before, and foretell you, as if I were present, the second time; and being absent now I write to them which heretofore have sinned, and to all other, that, if I come again, I will not spare:
2 Ay jin ka kaseeti araŋ gaa, waato kaŋ ay kaa araŋ do sorro hinkanta. Sohõ kaŋ ay si noodin, ay ga ye ka woone ci koyne: Hino d'ay kaa ay si jalla borey kaŋ jin ka zunubi te din gaa, da boro cindey kulu mo,
3Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you.
3 za kaŋ araŋ goono ga seeda ceeci kaŋ Almasihu go ga salaŋ ay do. Almasihu mo mana jaŋ gaabi araŋ se, amma gaabikooni no araŋ ra.
4For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God toward you.
4 Zama daahir gaabi-jaŋay do no i na Almasihu kanji, amma Irikoy dabaro do no a go ga funa. Iri mo londibuunoyaŋ no a ra, amma iri ga funa a banda nda Irikoy dabaro araŋ nafa se.
5Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
5 Wa araŋ boŋ neesi ka di hal araŋ go cimi fonda ra, wa araŋ boŋ guna araŋ boŋ se mo. Araŋ si bay araŋ boŋ se kaŋ Almasihu go araŋ ra no? Kala day d'araŋ si hin k'araŋ cimbeero goonoyaŋo cabe!
6But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates.
6 Amma ay ga laakal dake kaŋ araŋ ga bay kaŋ iri wo ga hin k'iri cimbeero goonoyaŋo cabe.
7Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates.
7 Sohõ iri go ga adduwa te Irikoy gaa araŋ ma si hari laalo kulu te. Manti hala sanda iri ma bara yaddanteyaŋ bo, amma hal araŋ ma te haŋ kaŋ ga boori, baa iri ma ciya danga wangay hariyaŋ.
8For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.
8 Zama iri sinda dabari kulu ka gaaba nda cimo, kala day iri ma goy cimo se.
9For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection.
9 Zama waato kaŋ iri jaŋ gaabi, araŋ mo gaabikooniyaŋ no, iri go ga farhã. Wo kaŋ se iri go ga adduwa te mo: araŋ jina-koyyaŋo no.
10Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord hath given me to edification, and not to destruction.
10 A sabbay se no kaŋ ay si noodin araŋ do, ay go ga hayey din hantum hala waati kaŋ ay kaa araŋ do, ay ma si futu araŋ se da dabaro kaŋ Rabbi n'ay no araŋ jina-koyyaŋo se, kaŋ manti araŋ halaciyaŋo se.
11Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.
11 Bananta gaa, nya-izey, kala han fo. Wa jina-koyyaŋ ceeci. Wa te bine-gaabi. Wa te laakal folloŋ. Araŋ ma goro nda laakal kanay. Irikoy mo, kaŋ ga ti baakasinay da laakal kanay Koy ga goro araŋ banda.
12Greet one another with an holy kiss.
12 Araŋ ma care fo da baakasinay garbe sunsumyaŋ hanna. Hanantey kulu go g'araŋ fo.
13All the saints salute you.
13 Rabbi Yesu Almasihu gomno, da Irikoy baakasina, da Biya Hanno ra markasina ma bara araŋ kulu banda.
14The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.
