1 Ndegam nag jot nanu ci dige yu mel nii, samay soppe, nanu sellal sunu bopp ci bépp sobeb yaram walla bu xel, dund dund gu sell, ba mat ci ragal Yàlla.
1Having, then, these promises, beloved, may we cleanse ourselves from every pollution of flesh and spirit, perfecting sanctification in the fear of God;
2 Yaatal-leen nu ci seen xol. Tooñunu kenn; lorunu kenn; naxunu kenn, jël alalam.
2receive us; no one did we wrong; no one did we waste; no one did we defraud;
3 Teg leen tooñ taxul may wax lii, ndaxte wax naa ba noppi ne, yéena ngi ci sunu xol ci dund ak ci dee.
3not to condemn you do I say [it], for I have said before that in our hearts ye are to die with and to live with;
4 Kóolute gi ma am ci yéen réy na. Tiitar bi may jële ci yéen réy na. Sama xol sedd na guyy. Damaa fees ak mbég ci bépp coono bu nuy daj!
4great [is] my freedom of speech unto you, great my glory on your behalf; I have been filled with the comfort, I overabound with the joy on all our tribulation,
5 Ba nu àggee diiwaanu Maseduwan, noppaluwunu, waaye coono bu ne daj nanu ko: xeex ci biti, njàqare ci biir.
5for also we, having come to Macedonia, no relaxation hath our flesh had, but on every side we are in tribulation, without [are] fightings, within — fears;
6 Waaye Yàlla miy dëfël xolu ñiy yoggoorlu ndax tiis, dëfël na sunu xol ci ñëwu Tit,
6but He who is comforting the cast-down — God — He did comfort us in the presence of Titus;
7 te du ci ñëwam rekk sax waaye ci li ngeen dëfël xolam. Yégal na nu seen nammeel ci nun, seen réccu ak seen farlu jëm ci man, ba sama mbég gën cee yokku.
7and not only in his presence, but also in the comfort with which he was comforted over you, declaring to us your longing desire, your lamentation, your zeal for me, so that the more I did rejoice,
8 Su fekkee ne sax, bataaxal bi ma leen bind dafa leen naqare, réccootuma ko. Ci lu jëkk réccu naa ko, ndaxte gis naa ne, bataaxal boobu teg na leen tiis, doonte sax ci diir bu néew.
8because even if I made you sorry in the letter, I do not repent — if even I did repent — for I perceive that the letter, even if for an hour, did make you sorry.
9 Waaye sama xol sedd na léegi, du ndax seen tiis, waaye ci li mu tax ngeen réccu. Tiis wu jóge ci Yàlla ngeen tegoo, te àndul ak benn loraange bu bawoo ci nun.
9I now do rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye were made sorry to reformation, for ye were made sorry toward God, that in nothing ye might receive damage from us;
10 Ndaxte tiis wu jóge ci Yàlla dina jur réccu guy jëme ci mucc, te réccu googu laajul gëstu. Waaye tiisu àddina day jëme ci dee.
10for the sorrow toward God reformation to salvation not to be repented of doth work, and the sorrow of the world doth work death,
11 Seen tiis wi jóge ci Yàlla, gisleen nag li mu jur: ndaw njaxlaf ak lay ak mer ak ragal ak nammeel ak farlu, ak bëgg a yar ki tooñ! Ci seen jëf yépp wone ngeen ne, set ngeen wecc ci mbir moomu.
11for, lo, this same thing — your being made sorry toward God — how much diligence it doth work in you! but defence, but displeasure, but fear, but longing desire, but zeal, but revenge; in every thing ye did approve yourselves to be pure in the matter.
12 Kon nag su ma leen bindee, ki tooñ taxul, ki ñu tooñ it taxul, waaye dama leen a bind, ngir ngeen man a gis ci kanam Yàlla cawarte, gi ngeen am ci nun.
12If, then, I also wrote to you — not for his cause who did wrong, nor for his cause who did suffer wrong, but for our diligence in your behalf being manifested unto you before God —
13 Te loolu seral na sunu xol. Sunu xel dal na, rawati ci li nu ànd ak Tit ci mbégam, ci li ngeen seral xolam, yéen ñépp.
13because of this we have been comforted in your comfort, and more abundantly the more did we rejoice in the joy of Titus, that his spirit hath been refreshed from you all;
14 Su fekkee ne tiitaru woon naa ci seen mbir ci kanamu Tit, rusuma ci. Dëgg rekk lanu leen mas a wax; noonu it la Tit gise ne, li nu leen doon seede lépp, dëgg la.
14because if anything to him in your behalf I have boasted, I was not put to shame; but as all things in truth we did speak to you, so also our boasting before Titus became truth,
15 Te mbëggeelam ci yéen gën na yokku, buy fàttaliku ni ngeen ko déggale yéen ñépp, ci li ngeen ko teeru, ànd ak ragal ak weg.
15and his tender affection is more abundantly toward you, remembering the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye did receive him;
16 Bég naa, ndaxte xam naa ne, man naa leen a wóolu ci lu nekk!
16I rejoice, therefore, that in everything I have courage in you.
