¹ Kon yéen njiit yi, maa ngi leen di dénk, man miy njiit ni yéen, man mi seede coonoy Kirist te am cér ci ndam li nar a feeñ.

¹The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:

² Lii laa leen di ñaan: sàmmleen géttug Yàlla, gi mu leen dénk, di ko wottu, waxuma ci sañul-bañ, waaye di surgay Yàlla ci xol bu tàlli; ngeen def ko ak xol bu laab te bañ cee séentu alal.

²Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;

³ Buleen noot ñi leen Yàlla dénk, waaye ngeen nekk ay royukaay fi kanam jur gi.

³Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.

⁴ Noonu waxtu wu Boroom gétt gi feeñee, dina leen jagleel kaalag ndam guy sax ba fàww.

⁴And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.

⁵ Noonu itam yéen ndaw ñi, nangeen déggal mag ñi. Te yéen ñépp, solooleen woyof ci seen biir, ndaxte:«Yàlla day dàq ñi réy,di yiwal ñi woyof.»

⁵Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.

⁶ Suufeel-leen seen bopp kon ci ron loxob Yàlla bu am kàttan, ngir mu yékkati leen ci jamono ju ko soob.

⁶Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:

⁷ Te ngeen yenniku ci kawam seen njàqare jépp, ndax ku leen ñeewante la.

⁷Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

⁸ Maanduleen te foog, ndax seen noon Seytaane mu ngi wër, ni gaynde guy yëmmu, di rëbb ku mu yàpp.

⁸Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

⁹ Jànkoonteleen ak moom ci biir ngëm gu takku, xam ne kureelu bokk yi ci àddina yépp, ñu ngi daj ay fitna ni yéen.

⁹Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

¹⁰ Te Yàlla mi jagoo yiw wépp te woo leen ci darajay Kirist, ngir ngeen bokk ci ndamam li sax, gannaaw bi ngeen yendoo bëccëgu tiis, dina leen yeesalaat, di leen dëgëral ak a dooleel, ba ngeen sampu.

¹⁰But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

¹¹ Na Yàlla yelloo màgg ba fàww. Amiin.

¹¹To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

¹² Bind naa leen ci lu gàtt ci ndimbalu Silwan, mi ma jàpp ni sama mbokk mu takku. Dénk naa leen, di leen seedeel ne, lii mooy yiwu Yàlla dëgg; kon nag saxleen ci.

¹²By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose, I have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God wherein ye stand.

¹³ Mbooloo mi nekk ci dëkk bi ñuy wax Babilon te Yàlla tànn ko ni yéen, moo di leen nuyu, ñoom ak Màrk sama doomu diine.

¹³The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you; and so doth Marcus my son.

¹⁴ Nuyoonteleen ak saafoonte yu sell. Na jàmm ñeel képp ku gëm Kirist.

¹⁴Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
