¹Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in all Achaia:

¹ Man Pool, ndawul Kirist Yeesu ci coobareg Yàlla, man ak Timote sunu mbokk, noo leen di bind, yéen mbooloom Yàlla mi nekk dëkku Korent, ak gaayi Yàlla yu sell, yi nekk ci diiwaanu Akayi gépp.

²Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

² Na leen Yàlla sunu Baay ak Boroom bi Yeesu Kirist may yiw ak jàmm.

³Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;

³ Cant ñeel na Yàlla, Baayu sunu boroom Yeesu Kirist, di Baay biy Aji Yërmande tey Boroom lépp luy dëfël xol yi.

⁴Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.

⁴ Mooy dëfël sunu xol ci sunu tiis yépp, ngir nun ci sunu bopp nu man a dëfël xolu ñépp ñi nekk ci tiis, di leen sédd ci noflaay, bi Yàlla def ci sunu xol.

⁵For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.

⁵ Ndaxte ni coonoy Kirist di baawaane ci nun, noonu it la Kirist nekke buntu noflaay bu yaa, biy dëfël sunu xol.

⁶And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation.

⁶ Su nuy jaar ci tiis, seen noflaay a tax ak seen mucc. Bu dee Yàlla dëfël na sunu xol, seen noflaay a tax, ngir ngeen man a dékku naqar yu mel ni yu nuy am, nun itam.

⁷And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation.

⁷ Te sunu yaakaar ci seen mbir dëgër na, xam ne, ni ngeen bokke ak nun naqar, noonu ngeen di bokke ak nun noflaayu xol.

⁸For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life:

⁸ Ndaxte bokk yi, bëggunu ngeen umple tiis, wi nu daj ci diiwaanu Asi. Yen bi diisoon na lool ba weesu sunu kàttan, ba amatunu yaakaar sax ci dund.

⁹But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead:

⁹ Demoon nanu ba defe ne, dogalees na sunug dee. Loolu amoon na, ngir nu bañ a wéer sunu yaakaar ci sunu bopp, waaye nu wéer ko ci Yàlla, miy dekkal néew yi.

¹⁰Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;

¹⁰ Moo nu musal ci dee gu metti googu te dina nu musalaat. Ci moom lanu wékk sunu yaakaar ne, dina nu musalati,

¹¹Ye also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift bestowed upon us by the means of many persons thanks may be given by many on our behalf.

¹¹ bu ngeen nu jàpplee di ci boole seeni ñaan. Noonu ñu bare dinañu gërëm Yàlla ci yiw, wi mu nu may te muy tontul ñaanu ñu bare.

¹²For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward.

¹² Li nuy tiitaroo moo di sunu xel day seede ne, ci kanamu àddina si, rawatina sax ci seen kanam, aw nanu ci tànk yu jub, ànd ak xol bu laab fa kanam Yàlla. Jëfewunu ci pexem nit, waaye ci yiwu Yàlla lanu jëfe.

¹³For we write none other things unto you, than what ye read or acknowledge; and I trust ye shall acknowledge even to the end;

¹³ Bindunu leen nag leneen lu dul li ngeen jàng te xam ko. Fi mu ne seen xam-xam ci nun matagul, waaye yaakaar naa ne, bu matee, dingeen man a tiitaru ci nun, ni nu koy defe ci yéen, bu bésu Boroom bi Yeesu ñëwee.

¹⁴As also ye have acknowledged us in part, that we are your rejoicing, even as ye also are our's in the day of the Lord Jesus.

¹⁵ Kon ni ma ame woon kóolute googu, naroon naa jëkk a jaar ci yéen, ngir ganesi leen ñaari yoon.

¹⁵And in this confidence I was minded to come unto you before, that ye might have a second benefit;

¹⁶ Bëggoon naa jaar ci yéen, dem diiwaanu Maseduwan, te bu ma jógee Maseduwan, dikkaat ci yéen, ngir ngeen waajal sama tukki ca Yude.

¹⁶And to pass by you into Macedonia, and to come again out of Macedonia unto you, and of you to be brought on my way toward Judaea.

¹⁷ Ba may mébét loolu nag, ndax dama cee boolewul pasteef? Te ndax samay yéene yéeney nit kese la, ba may xel ñaar, naan «waaw» ak «déet?»

¹⁷When I therefore was thus minded, did I use lightness? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be yea yea, and nay nay?

¹⁸ Wóor na Yàlla ne, li nu leen di wax, du «waaw» ju ànd ak «déedéet.»

¹⁸But as God is true, our word toward you was not yea and nay.

¹⁹ Ndaxte Doomu Yàlla ji, Yeesu Kirist, mi nu doon yégle ci seen biir, man ak Silwan ak Timote, nekkul woon «waaw» ak «déedéet;» «waawi» Yàlla la mas a nekk.

¹⁹For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea.

²⁰ Te lépp lu Yàlla dige woon fekk na «waawam» ci moom. Noonu kon ci Kirist lanuy waxe: «Amiin,» ngir yékkati ndamu Yàlla.

²⁰For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.

²¹ Te Yàlla moo nuy dëgëral ci Kirist, nun ak yéen, te sol nu Xelam.

²¹Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God;

²² Moo nu màndargaal ni ay gaayam, def Xelam ci sunu xol, muy dawal ci cér, bi mu nu dencal.

²²Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.

²³ Man nag Yàlla seede na ma, te giñ naa ci sama bakkan ne, yërëm leen rekk moo tax delluseeguma Korent.

²³Moreover I call God for a record upon my soul, that to spare you I came not as yet unto Corinth.

²⁴ Du caageen nag noo leen bëgg a noot ci lu jëm ci seen ngëm, waaye nu ngi liggéeyandoo ak yéen ngir seen mbég, ndaxte ci ngëm ngeen sax.

²⁴Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.
