¹Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;

¹ Kon nag ndegam Yàlla ci yërmandeem sas na nu liggéey boobu, dunu bayliku.

²But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

² Lànk nanoo ànd ci mbir, yi ñuy nëbb te ñu gàccelu. Sunuy tànk du yu njublaŋ te dunu dëngal kàddug Yàlla. Waaye nu ngi biral dëgg, di sàkku kóoluteg ñépp fa kanam Yàlla.

³But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:

³ Su fekkee ne sax, xebaar bu baax bi dafa muuru ci ñenn ñi, dafa fekk ñoom ñu aw yoon wu jëm ci sànkute.

⁴In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

⁴ Ñoom la yàllay jamono ji gëlëmal seen xel, ngir ñu bañ a gis leeru xebaar bu baax, biy wone ndamu Kirist, mi di melokaanu Yàlla.

⁵For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.

⁵ Ndaxte Yeesu Kirist Boroom bi lanuy waare, waaye waarewunu lu jëm ci sunu bopp. Nun seeni jaam lanu ndax Yeesu.

⁶For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

⁶ Ndaxte Yàlla mi ne: «Na leer leer ci biir lëndëm,» moo leer ci sunu xol, ngir leeral nu ak xam-xamu ndamu Yàlla, liy feeñ ci xar-kanamu Kirist.

⁷But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

⁷ Leer googu ci sunu xol mi ngi mel ni alal, waaye ñu ngi ko def ci nun ñi néew doole niy njaq kese, ngir kàttan gu ëpp xel gi, bawoo ci Yàlla te du ci nun.

⁸We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;

⁸ Dañu nuy sonal fu nekk, waaye kenn tancu nu. Dañu nuy dugal ci ruq yi, waaye dinanu ci génn.

⁹Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;

⁹ Dañu nuy fitnaal, waaye Yàlla du nu wacc mukk. Tër nañu nu, waaye kenn doggaliwu nu.

¹⁰Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.

¹⁰ Fu nu tollu noo ngi gàddu ci sunu yaram dee gi Yeesu dee woon, ngir dundu Yeesu moom it feeñ ci sunu yaram.

¹¹For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.

¹¹ Bés bu nekk, nun ñiy dund, ñu ngi nuy jébbal dee ndax Kirist, ngir dundu Kirist moom itam feeñ ci sunu yaram wiy dee.

¹²So then death worketh in us, but life in you.

¹² Noonu dee mu ngi jëf ci nun, dund di jëf ci yéen.

¹³We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;

¹³ Mbind mi nee na: «Damaa gëm, moo tax ma wax.» Nun it nag, ndegam am nanu menn xelu ngëm moomu, danoo gëm, ba tax nuy wax.

¹⁴Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.

¹⁴ Ndaxte xam nanu ne Yàlla, mi dekkal Boroom bi Yeesu, dina nu dekkal nun itam ak Yeesu, te dina nu yóbbu ak yéen, taxawal nun ñépp ci jataayam.

¹⁵For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.

¹⁵ Ndaxte lépp li nuy daj, seen njariñ a tax, ngir yiwu Yàlla, wiy yokku ci nit ñu gën a takku, yokkaale ngërëm lu jëm ci Yàlla, ngir jollil ndamam.

¹⁶For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

¹⁶ Loolu moo tax sunu yaakaar du tas. Bu fekkee sax sunu yaram day yàqu jëm cig mag, sunu ruu moom, bés ak bés muy gën a yeesaat.

¹⁷For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

¹⁷ Ndaxte sunu coono bu woyof bi dul yàgg, dafa nuy jural ndam lu bare, ba suul coono bi, tey sax abadan.

¹⁸While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

¹⁸ Kon diirunu li ñuy gis waaye li ñu dul gis. Ndaxte li ñuy gis day wéy, waaye li ñu dul gis day sax ba fàww.
