¹ Yaram wi nu soloo ci kaw suuf dafa mel ni ab tànt. Su daanoo, xam nanu ne, Yàlla jagleel na nu am taax ci asamaan, mu loxol nit defarul, di taax muy sax ba fàww.

¹For we have known that if our earthly house of the tabernacle may be thrown down, a building from God we have, an house not made with hands — age-during — in the heavens,

² Fi mu ne nu ngi wonk, di yàkkamtee féete ak sunu dëkkukaayu asamaan, sol ko ni koddaay, xam ne,

²for also in this we groan, with our dwelling that is from heaven earnestly desiring to clothe ourselves,

³ bu nu ko solee, dunu def yaramu neen.

³if so be that, having clothed ourselves, we shall not be found naked,

⁴ Nun ñi nekk ci tànt bii, nu ngi wonk ndax coono. Du caageen ne, danoo bëgg a summi sunu yaramu àddina, waaye danoo bëgg a sol sunu yaramu asamaan, ngir liy dee sóobu ci biir dund.

⁴for we also who are in the tabernacle do groan, being burdened, seeing we wish not to unclothe ourselves, but to clothe ourselves, that the mortal may be swallowed up of the life.

⁵ Ki nu waajal ngir loolu moo di Yàlla, moom mi nu jox Xelam, di dawal ci cér bi mu nu dencal.

⁵And He who did work us to this self-same thing [is] God, who also did give to us the earnest of the Spirit;

⁶ Noonu kon nu ngi fees ak kóolute fu nu tollu; te xam nanu ne, fi ak nu ngi dëkk ci yaram wii, àggagunu sunu màkkaan ci wetu Boroom bi —

⁶having courage, then, at all times, and knowing that being at home in the body, we are away from home from the Lord, —

⁷ ndaxte doxewunu ab gis, waaye ngëm lanuy doxe.

⁷for through faith we walk, not through sight —

⁸ Kon fees nanu ak kóolute, te yéenee jóge ci dëkkukaayu yaram wii, dem dëkk ci wetu Boroom bi.

⁸we have courage, and are well pleased rather to be away from the home of the body, and to be at home with the Lord.

⁹ Kon nag des fi walla jóge fi, li nuy faaydaal moo di neex Boroom bi.

⁹Wherefore also we are ambitious, whether at home or away from home, to be well pleasing to him,

¹⁰ Ndaxte nun ñépp fàww nu teew ci kanamu Kirist, mu àtte nu, ngir ku nekk jot peyu li mu def ci yaramam, muy lu baax walla lu bon.

¹⁰for all of us it behoveth to be manifested before the tribunal of the Christ, that each one may receive the things [done] through the body, in reference to the things that he did, whether good or evil;

¹¹ Gannaaw xam nanu ragal Yàlla nag, nu ngi fexee gëmloo nit ñi, waaye li nu nekk leer na Yàlla te yaakaar naa ne, leer na leen it, ba ne fàŋŋ.

¹¹having known, therefore, the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, and to God we are manifested, and I hope also in your consciences to have been manifested;

¹² Jéemunoo waxati lu ngeen nuy nawe, waaye danu leen a bëgg a may yoonu tiitaru ci nun, tey tontu ñooñuy tiitaroo col te du xol.

¹²for not again ourselves do we recommend to you, but we are giving occasion to you of glorifying in our behalf, that ye may have [something] in reference to those glorifying in face and not in heart;

¹³ Su fekkee danoo tàggalikoo ak sunu sago, ngir Yàlla la. Su nu àndee ak sunu sago, ngir yéen la.

¹³for whether we were beside ourselves, [it was] to God; whether we be of sound mind — [it is] to you,

¹⁴ Ndaxte mbëggeelu Kirist moo nuy jiite, ndax wóor na nu ne, ndegam kenn rekk a dee ngir ñépp, kon ñépp a dee.

¹⁴for the love of the Christ doth constrain us, having judged thus: that if one for all died, then the whole died,

¹⁵ Te dee na ngir ñépp, ngir ñiy dund dootuñu dund ngir seen bopp, waaye ngir ki dee ci seen wàll te dekki.

¹⁵and for all he died, that those living, no more to themselves may live, but to him who died for them, and was raised again.

¹⁶ Kon nag gannaawsi tey xoolatunu kenn ci gis-gisu àddina. Su fekkee mas nanoo xool Kirist ci gis-gisu àddina, léegi xooleetunu ko noonu.

¹⁶So that we henceforth have known no one according to the flesh, and even if we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know him no more;

¹⁷ Kon bu nit bokkee ci Kirist, mbindeef mu bees la. Li jëkk wéy na, lu bees a fi teew.

¹⁷so that if any one [is] in Christ — [he is] a new creature; the old things did pass away, lo, become new have the all things.

¹⁸ Te loolu lépp a ngi sosoo ci Yàlla, mi nu jubale ak boppam jaare ko ci Yeesu Kirist, te sas nu nuy waare juboo googu:

¹⁸And the all things [are] of God, who reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and did give to us the ministration of the reconciliation,

¹⁹ maanaam, Yàlla jaar na ci Kirist, di jubale waa àddina ak boppam te sëfu leen seeni tooñ. Kàddug juboo googu, Yàlla dénk na nu ko.

¹⁹how that God was in Christ — a world reconciling to Himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses; and having put in us the word of the reconciliation,

²⁰ Ay ndaw lanu, yu Kirist yónni, te Yàllaa ngi woo nit ñi jaare ko ci nun. Kon nag ci turu Kirist, nu ngi leen koy ñaan: nanguleen a juboo ak Yàlla.

²⁰in behalf of Christ, then, we are ambassadors, as if God were calling through us, we beseech, in behalf of Christ, `Be ye reconciled to God;`

²¹ Kirist mi musul a def bàkkaar, Yàlla def na ko bàkkaar ci sunu wàll, ngir ci sunu bokk ci moom, nu man a doon njubteg Yàlla.

²¹for him who did not know sin, in our behalf He did make sin, that we may become the righteousness of God in him.
