¹Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints that are in the whole of 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 to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

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

³Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and 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 affliction, that we may be able to comfort them that are in any affliction, through 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 unto us, even so our comfort also aboundeth through Christ.

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

⁶But whether we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; or whether we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which worketh in the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer:

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 for you is stedfast; knowing that, as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so also are ye of the comfort.

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 have you ignorant, brethren, concerning our affliction which befell [us] in Asia, that we were weighed down exceedingly, beyond our power, 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.

⁹yea, we ourselves have had the sentence of death within ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who 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 out of so great a death, and will deliver: on whom we have set our hope that he will also still 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 on our behalf by your supplication; that, for the gift bestowed upon us by means of many, thanks may be given by many persons 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 glorifying is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in holiness and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God, we behaved ourselves 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 no other things unto you, than what ye read or even acknowledge, and I hope ye will acknowledge unto 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 did acknowledge us in part, that we are your glorying, even as ye also are ours, in the day of our 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 first unto you, 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 by you to pass into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come unto you, and of you to be set forward on my journey unto 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 show fickleness? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be the yea yea and the nay nay?

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

¹⁸But as God is faithful, our word toward you is 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 Timothy, was not yea and nay, but in him is 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 how many soever be the promises of God, in him is the yea: wherefore also through him is the Amen, unto the glory of God through us.

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

²¹Now he that establisheth us with you in Christ, and 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 also sealed us, and gave [us] 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.

²³But I call God for a witness upon my soul, that to spare you I forbare to come 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 that we have lordship over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for in faith ye stand fast.
