1 Nun nag ñiy liggéeyandoo ak Yàlla, nu ngi leen di ñaan: jariñooleen yiw, wi ngeen jote ci Yàlla, ngir mu bañ a neen ci yéen.
1And working together also we call upon [you] that ye receive not in vain the grace of God —
2 Ndaxte Yàlla nee na:«Ca jamono ja mu jekke, nangu naa sa ñaan;ci bésu mucc gi laa la wallu.» Tey jii la jamono ju jekk ji; tey la bésub mucc gi.
2for He saith, `In an acceptable time I did hear thee, and in a day of salvation I did help thee, lo, now [is] a well-accepted time; lo, now, a day of salvation,` —
3 Bëggunoo lëmbaaje xelu kenn ci dara, ngir kenn bañ a sikk sunu liggéey.
3in nothing giving any cause of offence, that the ministration may be not blamed,
4 Li nu bëgg moo di rafetal sunu tur ni jawriñi Yàlla ci fànn gu nekk; danuy muñ coono yi, tiis yi, njàqare yi;
4but in everything recommending ourselves as God`s ministrants; in much patience, in tribulations, in necessities, in distresses,
5 ñu nuy dóor, di nu tëj ci kaso, dëkk yi di yengu ndax sunu mbir; nuy liggéey ba sonn, di fanaanee xool, di woor.
5in stripes, in imprisonments, in insurrections, in labours, in watchings, in fastings,
6 Nu ngi rafetal sunu yen ci dund gu sell, ci xam-xam, muñ ak laabiir, ci Xel mu Sell mi ak ci mbëggeel gu raxul njublaŋ,
6in pureness, in knowledge, in long-suffering, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in love unfeigned,
7 ci kàddug dëgg ak ci kàttanu Yàlla, nu ngi yor gànnaayi njubte ci loxol ndeyjoor ak lu càmmooñ.
7in the word of truth, in the power of God, through the armour of the righteousness, on the right and on the left,
8 Ñu bàkk nu, jéppi nu, sant nu, xas nu. Ñu di nu jiiñ réeral, moona niti dëgg lanu.
8through glory and dishonour, through evil report and good report, as leading astray, and true;
9 Ñuy xeeb sunu tur, moona tur yi siiw nañu. Nu mel ni ñu loof, moona nu ngi dund. Ñu yar nu, teewul nu rëcc ci dee.
9as unknown, and recognized; as dying, and lo, we live; as chastened, and not put to death;
10 Danuy dékku tiis, waaye di bég fu nu tollu. Nu tumurànke, waaye di woomal ñu bare; amunu dara, fekk noo moom lépp.
10as sorrowful, and always rejoicing; as poor, and making many rich; as having nothing, and possessing all things.
11 Yéen bokki Korent, wax nanu leen sunu biir ak sunu biti, di leen ubbil sunu xol.
11Our mouth hath been open unto you, O Corinthians, our heart hath been enlarged!
12 Ubbiku nanu ci yéen, waaye yéen ubbikuwuleen ci nun.
12ye are not straitened in us, and ye are straitened in your [own] bowels,
13 Maa ngi wax ak yéen ni samay doom; feyleen nu bor bi, yéen itam; ubbileen seen xol!
13and [as] a recompense of the same kind, (as to children I say [it],) be ye enlarged — also ye!
14 Buleen likkoo ak ñi gëmul. Gan àndandoo moo man a am diggante njubte ak ndëngte? Gan booloo moo man a am diggante leer ak lëndëm?
14Become not yoked with others — unbelievers, for what partaking [is there] to righteousness and lawlessness?
15 Gan déggoo moo man a am diggante Kirist ak Beliyar? Gan jaxasoo moo man a am diggante ki gëm ak ki gëmul?
15and what fellowship to light with darkness? and what concord to Christ with Belial? or what part to a believer with an unbeliever?
16 Nan la këru Yàlla man a mànkoo ak xërëm yi? Ndaxte nun nooy këru Yàlla Aji Dund ji, ni ko Yàlla waxe:«Dinaa dëkk ci seen biir,tey dox ànd ak ñoom,ma nekk seen Yàlla,ñuy samay gaay.»
16and what agreement to the sanctuary of God with idols? for ye are a sanctuary of the living God, according as God said — `I will dwell in them, and will walk among [them], and I will be their God, and they shall be My people,
17 Kon nag Boroom bi nee na:«Génnleen biir ñooñu te beru.Buleen laal dara lu am sobe,kon dinaa leen teeru.
17wherefore, come ye forth out of the midst of them, and be separated, saith the Lord, and an unclean thing do not touch, and I — I will receive you,
18 Dinaa nekk baay ci yéen,ngeen di doom ci man, muy góor, di jigéen. Moom la Aji Kàttan ji wax.»
18and I will be to you for a Father, and ye — ye shall be to Me for sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.`
