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 Waaye ci bànni Israyil, amoon na naaféq yu mbubboo turu yonent, ni muy ame seen biir ñuy mbubboo turu jàngalekat. Ci seeni pexe dinañu dugal ci yeen xalaat yu sànke, di weddi Boroom bi leen jot, tey yóbbe seen bopp alkande ju teew.

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

² ñu bare dinañu leen fekki ci seeni ñaawteef, ba gàkkal yoonu dëgg ci bëti nit ñi.

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 Seen bëgge dina tax, ñu dàbbdaaxe ay wax, ngir nax leen, ba lekk seenus tuut. Waaye àtte baa ngi leen di xaar, te seen alkande di leen teeru.

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 Ndaxte Yàlla jeggalul malaaka ya bàkkaaroon, waaye tàbbal na leen safara, tëj leen ca kàmb yu lëndëm, di leen nége àtte ba.

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 Te it jeggalul àddina su jëkk sa weddi woon, ba xooj ko ci ndoxu mbënn ma, waaye musal na Nóoyin rekk, mi daan waare ci njub, moom ak juróom-ñaari nit.

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 Te it Yàlla daan na dëkki Sodom ak Gomor, raafal leen cig lakk, ñuy misaalu ñiy weddi ëllëg.

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

⁷ Waaye musal na Lóot mi jub, mi sonnoon ndax ñaawteefi ñu dëng, ñooñu mu nekkaloon.

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 Ndaxte Lóot, mi dëkkoon ci seen biir, dafa dëkke woon tiisu xol, ndax ñaawteef yi mu gis ak a dégg guddi ak bëccëg.

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 Gannaaw loolu lépp am na nag, nanu bir ne, Boroom bi man na musal aji gëm ji nekk ci nattu, te denc ñi jubadi, ngir alag leen bésu àtte ba.

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 Rawatina ñiy topp seen bakkan ciy bëgg-bëgg yu ruslu, te faalewuñu genn kilifteef. ñu ñeme Yàlla lañu, te dëgër bopp, ba ragaluñoo xas kilifa ya gëna kawe.

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

¹¹ Fekk sax malaaka, yi leen ëpp doole ak kàttan, tey sax ca jetaayu Boroom bi, ñemewuñoo xas kilifa yooyu.

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 Waaye ñoom dañuy xas ci biir yi ñu xamul. ñoom ak bàyyima ñoo yem, di ay mbindeef yuy tañaxu, te tër rendi rekk a jekk ci ñoom; dees na leen rey ni bàyyima,

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 muy seen peyug njubadi. Xawaare bëccëgu ndara-kàmm mooy seen bànneex. Su ñuy lekkandoo ak yeen, dañuy bànneexu ci seeni bëgg-bëgg, di ay gàkk ak i sikk ci seen biir.

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 Jigéen ju seen bët tegu, ñu xédd ko, ba duñu tàggook moy mukk; ku ñàkk pasteef ñu fàbbi la; ñu xelu lañu jëme cig bëgge -- ñu alku lañu!

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 Réer nañu ba wàcc yoon wu jub wi, topp yoonu Balaam, doomu Bosor, mi bëgge xiiroon ci njubadi.

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

¹⁶ Waaye déggadeem yóbbe na ko yeraanga; xam ngeen ne mbaam-sëf du wax, waaye mbaam wax na ak moom ci làmmiñ wu bir, ngir mu génn ci ndofam googu.

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

¹⁷ Ñooñule ay teen yu dëy lañu, di xiini lay, yu ngelaw liy naawal, te seen pey mooy lëndëm gu ne taraj.

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 Dañuy fàbbi ñu naroona mucc ci àddina ju réer, dig leen ak làmmiñ yu neex bànneexi bakkan yu jéggi dayo.

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 Dañu leen di dig ngoreel, te fekk ñoom ci seen bopp jaami yàqute lañu, ndaxte lu la noot, jaamam nga.

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 Su ñu xamee Boroom bi, di sunu Musalkat Yeesu Krist, ba mucc ci sobes àddina, ba noppi sóobuwaat ca, ba mu noot leen, seen muj moo yées seen njàlbéen.

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 Ndaxte ñu xam yoon wu jub wi, ba noppi dëddu ndigal lu sell li ñu déggoon, bañoon koo xam moo gënoon ci ñoom.

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 Noonu seen mbir dëggal na li ñuy wax ne: Xaj mooy waccu, di ko lekkaat; te it: Mbaam-xuux, loo ko sang-sang, mu xalangu ci ban.
