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.

¹Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, through the will of God, and Timotheus the brother, to the assembly of God that is in Corinth, with all the saints who are in all Achaia:

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

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

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

³Blessed [is] God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of the mercies, and God of all comfort,

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.

⁴who is comforting us in all our tribulation, for our being able to comfort those in any tribulation through the comfort with which we are comforted ourselves by God;

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

⁵because, as the sufferings of the Christ do abound to us, so through the Christ doth abound also our comfort;

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.

⁶and whether we be in tribulation, [it is] for your comfort and salvation, that is wrought in the enduring of the same sufferings that we also suffer; whether we are comforted, [it is] for your comfort and salvation;

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.

⁷and our hope [is] stedfast for you, knowing that even as ye are partakers of the sufferings — so also of the comfort.

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.

⁸For we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, of our tribulation that happened to us in Asia, that we were exceedingly burdened above [our] power, so that we despaired even of life;

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.

⁹but we ourselves in ourselves the sentence of the death have had, that we may not be trusting on ourselves, but on God, who is raising the dead,

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

¹⁰who out of so great a death did deliver us, and doth deliver, in whom we have hoped that even yet He will deliver;

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.

¹¹ye working together also for us by your supplication, that the gift through many persons to us, through many may be thankfully acknowledged for us.

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.

¹²For our glorying is this: the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom, but in the grace of God, we did conduct ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you;

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.

¹³for no other things do we write to you, but what ye either do read or also acknowledge, and I hope that also unto the end ye shall acknowledge,

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

¹⁴according as also ye did acknowledge us in part, that your glory we are, even as also ye [are] ours, in the day of the Lord Jesus;

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

¹⁵and in this confidence I was purposing to come unto you before, that a second favour ye might have,

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?»

¹⁶and through you to pass to Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come unto you, and by you to be sent forward to Judea.

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

¹⁷This, therefore, counselling, did I then use the lightness; or the things that I counsel, according to the flesh do I counsel, that it may be with me Yes, yes, and No, no?

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.

¹⁸and God [is] faithful, that our word unto you became not Yes and No,

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

¹⁹for the Son of God, Jesus Christ, among you through us having been preached — through me and Silvanus and Timotheus — did not become Yes and No, but in him it hath become Yes;

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

²⁰for as many as [are] promises of God, in him [are] the Yes, and in him the Amen, for glory to God through us;

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

²¹and He who is confirming you with us into Christ, and did anoint us, [is] God,

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

²²who also sealed us, and gave the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.

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.

²³And I for a witness on God do call upon my soul, that sparing you, I came not yet to Corinth;

²⁴not that we are lords over your faith, but we are workers together with your joy, for by the faith ye stand.
