¹But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

¹ Amma sanda mate kaŋ cine tangari annabiyaŋ goro jama ra za doŋ, yaadin cine no tangari dondonandikoyaŋ mo ga bangay araŋ game ra. I ga furo nda carmay ka kande dondonandiyaŋey kaŋ manti cimi wane yaŋ, kaŋ ga kande halaciyaŋ mo. I ga baa Koyo kaŋ n'i day din ze, ka halaciyaŋ candi ka kande ngey boŋ da waasi.

²And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.

² Boro boobo mo g'i gana ngey furkutara ra. I sabbay se mo borey ga cimi fonda jance.

³And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.

³ I biniya ra mo no tangari dondonandikoy ga pati-ka-dake sanniyaŋ te k'araŋ ciya fatawci hari. Ciito mo kaŋ Irikoy dumbu i se za doŋ si gay, i halaciyaŋo mo ga ba ka to.

⁴For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;

⁴ Zama Irikoy mana malaykey* naŋ waato kaŋ i na zunubi te, amma a n'i catu Alaahara kaso ra k'i daŋ kubay guusey ra k'i jisi ciito se.

⁵And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;

⁵ A mana doŋ ndunnya naŋ mo, amma a na Nuhu, kaŋ ga ti adilitaray waazukwa faaba, nga nda boro iyye fooyaŋ, waato kaŋ a kande tunfaana ndunnya borey kaŋ yaŋ wangu Irikoy boŋ.

⁶And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;

⁶ A na Saduma* nda Gomorata* birney ciiti mo da halaciyaŋ ciiti k'i ciya boosu. A n'i ciya deedandiyaŋ hari borey se kaŋ ga wangu Irikoy.

⁷And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:

⁷ A na Lotu kaŋ ti boro adili faaba mo, nga kaŋ bina sara gumo boro laaley furkutaray gora sabbay se.

⁸(For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)

⁸ (Zama boro adilo din kaŋ goono ga goro i game ra na nga bine adilanta* taabandi zaari ka kaa zaari asariya-jaŋay goyey kaŋ a goono ga di, kaŋ a goono ga maa mo sabbay se.)

⁹The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:

⁹ Za kaŋ Rabbi na woodin yaŋ te, a ga bay mate kaŋ nga ga te ka nga ganakoy faaba taabi ra ka borey kaŋ sinda adilitaray gaay mo alhakku se hala ciiti zaaro ma kaa,

¹⁰But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.

¹⁰ sanku fa borey kaŋ yaŋ goono ga dira ngey bine ibaay laalo ziibey ra, kaŋ yaŋ ga donda mayray mo. Tangari dondonandikoy wo, farratanteyaŋ no, boŋ sando yaŋ mo no. I si jijiri waato kaŋ i goono ga beena beeraykoyey wow.

¹¹Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord.

¹¹ Guna, baa malaykey kaŋ ga bis'ey gaabi ra da dabari ra si kande wowi ciiti i boŋ Rabbi jine.

¹²But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;

¹² Amma boro woodin yaŋ goono ga hayey kaŋ i si faham nd'a kayna. I ga hima ganji hamyaŋ kaŋ yaŋ sinda laakal, kaŋ i n'i hay zama i m'i di ka halaci se. Haciika borey din ga halaci ngey hasarawo sabbay se.

¹³And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;

¹³ I g'i bana nda taabi, taabandiyaŋo kaŋ i te din se. Bine kaani hari no i se i ma goy yaamoyaŋ te zaari kwaaray. Boroyaŋ no kaŋ ciya tombi nda laru. I goono ga maa kaani ngey hiila goyey ra, waati kaŋ i ga ŋwa araŋ banda.

¹⁴Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:

¹⁴ I moy ga to da zina, i si hin ka zunubi naŋ, i goono ga borey kaŋ mana kay ka boori hirri ka di. I na ngey biney dondonandi biniyay, izeyaŋ no kaŋ laali.

¹⁵Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;

¹⁵ I na cimi fonda taŋ ka daray. I goono ga Balaam* Beyor izo fonda gana, nga kaŋ na nga bina daŋ goy laalo teeyaŋ alhakku gaa.

¹⁶But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet.

¹⁶ Amma farka deeni a gaa a zunubo sabbay se. Farka kaŋ si waani sanni salaŋ a se da boro jinde ka annabo din bonkoma gaay.

¹⁷These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.

¹⁷ Borey din ya mansaarayaŋ no kaŋ koogu, beene buruyaŋ mo no kaŋ haw goono ga gaaray. Irikoy na kubay bi tik soola ka jisi i se.

¹⁸For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.

¹⁸ Zama waato kaŋ i goono ga fooma sanni yaamoyaŋ ci, i ga goy da bine ibaay laaley furkutaray ra ka te kumsay borey se kaŋ mana gay ka du faaba ka fun darantey kambe ra.

¹⁹While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.

¹⁹ I goono ga burcinitaray alkawli sambu i se, amma ngey bumbey go halaciyaŋ tamtaray ra. Zama haŋ kaŋ zaama boro boŋ, kulu boro ga ciya a se tam.

²⁰For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.

²⁰ Zama nda borey du faaba ndunnya ziibey gaa Rabbi kaŋ ti Faabakwa Yesu Almasihu bayra do, woodin banda i ye ka didiji koyne ndunnya ziibey ra hal i n'i zeeri, i kokora ga jaase i sintina gora.

²¹For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.

²¹ Zama a ga bisa i se i ma si adilitaray fonda bay, d'i ma bay a gaa, woodin banda i ma banda bare lordi* hanna kaŋ i no i se gaa.

²²But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.

²² Haŋ kaŋ te i se ga yaasay woone daahirandi kaŋ ne: «Hansi ga ye nga yeero do, gursuna way kaŋ nyumay mo ga ye ka bimbilko botogo ra.»
