¹ Bii mooy ñetteel bi yoon, ma di leen ganesi. «Bépp àtte dina aju ci seedes ñaar walla ñetti nit.»

¹This third time do I come unto you; on the mouth of two witnesses or three shall every saying be established;

² Li ma waxoon ci sama ñaareelu ngan, ci ñi bàkkaaroon bu yàgg ak ñi ci des, maa ngi koy waxaat léegi, bala maa dikkaat: su ma dellusee, duma yërëm kenn.

²I have said before, and I say [it] before, as being present, the second time, and being absent, now, do I write to those having sinned before, and to all the rest, that if I come again, I will not spare,

³ Bu fekkee ne dangeen a bëgg firnde juy wone ne, Kirist mooy wax jaarale ko ci man, dingeen ko am. Digganteem ak yéen du ànd ak néew doole, waaye dafay feeñal kàttan ci seen biir.

³since a proof ye seek of the Christ speaking in me, who to you is not infirm, but is powerful in you,

⁴ Néewoon na doole, ba ñu koy daaj ca bant ngir rey ko, waaye mi ngi dund ci kàttanu Yàlla. Nun itam néew nanu doole ci sunu bokk ci moom, waaye dinanu dund ak moom ci kàttanu Yàlla, bu nuy jëfante ak yéen.

⁴for even if he was crucified from infirmity, yet he doth live from the power of God; for we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him from the power of God toward you.

⁵ Xool-leen seen bopp bu baax, ba xam ndax ngëm a ngi ci yéen. Seetluleen seen bopp. Xanaa xamuleen ne, Yeesoo ngi ci yéen? Walla boog ngeen gis ne, ay naaféq ngeen.

⁵Your ownselves try ye, if ye are in the faith; your ownselves prove ye; do ye not know your ownselves, that Jesus Christ is in you, if ye be not in some respect disapproved of?

⁶ Waaye yaakaar naa ne dingeen gis ne, man nanoo wone nun, firndeg ngëm.

⁶and I hope that ye shall know that we — we are not disapproved of;

⁷ Nu ngi ñaan Yàlla, ngeen bañ a def dara lu bon. Waxuma ne danoo bëgg a wone noonu sunu firndeg ngëm, waaye sunu yéene mooy ngeen jëf lu baax, boo yaboo sax ñu jiiñ nu ag naaféq.

⁷and I pray before God that ye do no evil, not that we may appear approved, but that ye may do that which is right, and we may be as disapproved;

⁸ Ndaxte manalunu dara dëggu Yàlla gi; mënunu lu dul taxawal ko.

⁸for we are not able to do anything against the truth, but for the truth;

⁹ Bu nu néewee doole, fekk am ngeen doole, bég nanu ci. Te sax nu ngi ñaan, ngeen jublu cig mat.

⁹for we rejoice when we may be infirm, and ye may be powerful; and this also we pray for — your perfection!

¹⁰ Looloo tax ma leen di binde nii, bala maa ñëw; bëgguma leen a duma ci sañ-sañ bi ma Boroom bi jox. Jox na ma ko, ngir ma yokk seen ngëm, waaye du ngir seen kasara.

¹⁰because of this, these things — being absent — I write, that being present, I may not treat [any] sharply, according to the authority that the Lord did give me for building up, and not for casting down.

¹¹ Kon nag bokk yi, bégleen, jublu cig mat, di déglu soññante bi ma leen di dénk, am benn xalaat te dëkk ci jàmm; noonu Yàlla miy mbëggeel te di Yàllay jàmm dina ànd ak yéen.

¹¹Henceforth, brethren, rejoice; be made perfect, be comforted, be of the same mind, be at peace, and the God of the love and peace shall be with you;

¹² Saafoonteleen ak xol bu laab.

¹²salute one another in an holy kiss;

¹³ Mboolem gaayi Yàlla yépp ñu ngi leen di nuyu.

¹³salute you do all the saints;

¹⁴ Na yiwu sunu Boroom Yeesu Kirist, ak mbëggeelu Yàlla ak booloo, gi nu am ak Xel mu Sell mi, ànd ak yéen ñépp.

¹⁴the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, [is] with you all! Amen.
