1Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
1 Xelum Yàlla mi wax na bu leer ne, ci mujug jamono dina am ñu bàyyi yoonu ngëm wi, di topp ay xel yuy fàbbee ak xalaati Seytaane.
2Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
2 Ñooñu ay naaféq yuy naxe lañu, te seen xol dërkiis.
3Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
3 Dinañu tere séy, di araamal ay ñam, fekk Yàlla sàkk na leen, ngir ñi gëm te xam dëgg man ciy jëfandiku ak cant.
4For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
4 Ndaxte li Yàlla sàkk lépp baax na, kon wenn ñam araamul ci ku koy jëfandikoo ak cant.
5For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
5 Ndaxte kàddug Yàlla ak ñaan ñoo koy sellal.
6If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.
6 Saxal ci digal bokk yi loolu nag, kon dinga nekk jawriñu Kirist Yeesu ju baax ju regg ci kàdduy yoonu ngëm wi ak njàngale mu rafet, mi nga xam bu wér.
7But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness.
7 Tanqamlul ay léebi diiney neen, di ay wax yu amul bopp yu àddina kese; waaye tàggatal sa bopp ci ragal Yàlla.
8For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.
8 Ndaxte tàggat yaram am na fu njariñam yem, waaye njariñu ragal Yàlla dafa daj lépp, ëmb digey àddina ak àllaaxira.
9This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.
9 Wax ju wóor a ngii, te mat a nangu ak gépp kóolute.
10For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.
10 Danuy ñaq tey bëre, ndaxte wékk nanu sunu yaakaar ci Yàlla Aji Dund ji, di Musalkatu ñépp, rawatina nag ci ñi gëm.
11These things command and teach.
11 Digal leen yëf yooyu nag ci sa njàngale.
12Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
12 Bu la kenn xeeb ndax say at, waaye defal sa bopp royukaayu ñi gëm ci say wax ak say jëf, ci sa mbëggeel, sa ngëm ak sa cell.
13Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.
13 Li feek may dikk, saxal ci jàng di biral Mbind mi ci mbooloo mi, di leen dénk ak a jàngal.
14Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.
14 Bul sàggane may gi nekk ci yaw, gi la Yàlla jox jaarale ko ci waxu yonent, keroog bi la njiit yi tegee loxo.
15Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.
15 Faaydaalal yëf yooyu te sóobu ci, ba sa jëm kanam bir ñépp.
16Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.
16 Sàmmal sa bopp te sàmm sa njàngale, te sax ci; noonu dinga musal sa bopp, yaw ak ñi lay déglu.
