¹ Man Simoŋ Pieer, jaamu Yeesu Krist ak ndawam, maa leen di bind, yeen ñi Yàlla jagleel ngëm gu rafet ni nun, aju ci njubu sunu Yàlla ak Musalkat, Yeesu Krist.

¹Simeon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who did obtain a like precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ:

² Na leen Yàlla dollil yiw ak jàmm, jaar ci xam ko ak Yeesu sunu Boroom.

²Grace to you, and peace be multiplied in the acknowledgement of God and of Jesus our Lord!

³ Dooley Yàlla moo nu may lépp lu aju ci dund gu sax ak ragal Yàlla, jaarale ko ci xam gi nu ko xam, moom mi nu woo ci kaw ndamam ak dooleem.

³As all things to us His divine power (the things pertaining unto life and piety) hath given, through the acknowledgement of him who did call us through glory and worthiness,

⁴ Noonu la nu dige ay dig yu rafet, te réy ba ëpp xel, ngir nu gëm leen, te Yàlla sol nu jikoom, nu mucc ci yàqute, gi bànneexu bakkan samp ci àddina si.

⁴through which to us the most great and precious promises have been given, that through these ye may become partakers of a divine nature, having escaped from the corruption in the world in desires.

⁵ Na loolu tax ngeen góor-góorlu, ba yokk ci seen ngëm njàmbaar, ci njàmbaar googu ngeen yokk ci xam-xam, yokk ci noot sa bopp.

⁵And this same also — all diligence having brought in besides, superadd in your faith the worthiness, and in the worthiness the knowledge,

⁶ Noot sa bopp googu, ngeen yokk ci muñ, yokk ci ragal Yàlla,

⁶and in the knowledge the temperance, and in the temperance the endurance, and in the endurance the piety,

⁷ yokk ci sopp mbokk, yokk ci bëgg ñépp.

⁷and in the piety the brotherly kindness, and in the brotherly kindness the love;

⁸ Ndaxte bu leen jiko yooyu soloo, ba sax ci yeen, dina tax seen xam Yeesu Krist Boroom bi am njeriñ te jur mbaax.

⁸for these things being to you and abounding, do make [you] neither inert nor unfruitful in regard to the acknowledging of our Lord Jesus Christ,

⁹ Waaye ku ñàkk jiko yooyu, ay bëtam dañoo lëndëm ba gumba, te fàtte na, ni ko Yàlla fóotale bàkkaari démb.

⁹for he with whom these things are not present is blind, dim-sighted, having become forgetful of the cleansing of his old sins;

¹⁰ Kon nag samay mbokk, gannaaw Yàlla da leena tànn te woo leen, góor-góorluleen ci feddali ko ak seen kem-kàttan. Ndaxte su ngeen ko defee, dungeen jeng mukk.

¹⁰wherefore, the rather, brethren, be diligent to make stedfast your calling and choice, for these things doing, ye may never stumble,

¹¹ Te noonu dingeen tàbbi ak ndam ci nguur gu sax gu sunu Boroom, di sunu Musalkat Yeesu Krist.

¹¹for so, richly shall be superadded to you the entrance into the age-during reign of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

¹² Wóor na ma ne xam ngeen loolu, ba sampu ci dëgg gi leen Yàlla jagleel, waaye fas naa yéene, may sax ci di leen ko fàttali.

¹²Wherefore, I will not be careless always to remind you concerning these things, though, having known them, and having been established in the present truth,

¹³ Te jàpp naa ko, muy sama warugar, feek maa ngi noyyi, ma di leen fàttali loolu, ba yee leen.

¹³and I think right, so long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up in reminding [you],

¹⁴ Ndaxte xam naa ne, léegi ma jóge fi, ni ma ko Yeesu Krist Boroom bi leerale woon.

¹⁴having known that soon is the laying aside of my tabernacle, even as also our Lord Jesus Christ did shew to me,

¹⁵ Te dinaa góor-góorlu, ngir sama gannaaw ngeen di fàttaliku li ma leen doon wax.

¹⁵and I will be diligent that also at every time ye have, after my outgoing, power to make to yourselves the remembrance of these things.

¹⁶ Bi nu leen yégalee dooley Yeesu Krist sunu Boroom ak ñëwam ci biir ndam, sukkandikuwunu woon ciy léeb yu sësul fenn, waaye danoo teewe ag màggam.

¹⁶For, skilfully devised fables not having followed out, we did make known to you the power and presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, but eye-witnesses having become of his majesty —

¹⁷ Ndaxte Yàlla Baay bi sol na ko teraanga ak ndam, te baatub Aji Màgg ju tedd ji jib na ne: Sama Doom a ngii, di sama Soppe; ci moom laa ame bànneex.

¹⁷for having received from God the Father honour and glory, such a voice being borne to him by the excellent glory: `This is My Son — the beloved, in whom I was well pleased;`

¹⁸ Te nun dégg nanu baat boobu jóge asamaan, bi nu nekkee ak moom ca tund wu tedd wa.

¹⁸and this voice we — we did hear, out of heaven borne, being with him in the holy mount.

¹⁹ Noonu bir na ne, waxu yonent yi wér na, te war ngeen koo fonk; mi ngi mel ni làmp, buy leer ci bérab bu lëndëm, ba kera fajar di xar, te biddiiwub njël bi feq, leeral seeni xol.

¹⁹And we have more firm the prophetic word, to which we do well giving heed, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, till day may dawn, and a morning star may arise — in your hearts;

²⁰ Waaye jëkkleena xam ne, amul jenn waxu yonent ci Mbind mi, ju balle ci xelu boppam.

²⁰this first knowing, that no prophecy of the Writing doth come of private exposition,

²¹ Ndaxte kenn ci yonent yi musula wax ci coobareg boppam, waaye, Xel mu Sell mi daa na xiir nit ñi, ñu yégle kàddug Yàlla.

²¹for not by will of man did ever prophecy come, but by the Holy Spirit borne on holy men of God spake.
