¹ Waaye ci bànni Israyil, amoon na naaféq yu mbubboo turu yonent, ni muy ame seen biir ñuy mbubboo turu jàngalekat. Ci seeni pexe dinañu dugal ci yeen xalaat yu sànke, di weddi Boroom bi leen jot, tey yóbbe seen bopp alkande ju teew.

¹And there did come also false prophets among the people, as also among you there shall be false teachers, who shall bring in besides destructive sects, and the Master who bought them denying, bringing to themselves quick destruction,

² ñu bare dinañu leen fekki ci seeni ñaawteef, ba gàkkal yoonu dëgg ci bëti nit ñi.

²and many shall follow out their destructive ways, because of whom the way of the truth shall be evil spoken of,

³ Seen bëgge dina tax, ñu dàbbdaaxe ay wax, ngir nax leen, ba lekk seenus tuut. Waaye àtte baa ngi leen di xaar, te seen alkande di leen teeru.

³and in covetousness, with moulded words, of you they shall make merchandise, whose judgment of old is not idle, and their destruction doth not slumber.

⁴ Ndaxte Yàlla jeggalul malaaka ya bàkkaaroon, waaye tàbbal na leen safara, tëj leen ca kàmb yu lëndëm, di leen nége àtte ba.

⁴For if God messengers who sinned did not spare, but with chains of thick gloom, having cast [them] down to Tartarus, did deliver [them] to judgment, having been reserved,

⁵ Te it jeggalul àddina su jëkk sa weddi woon, ba xooj ko ci ndoxu mbënn ma, waaye musal na Nóoyin rekk, mi daan waare ci njub, moom ak juróom-ñaari nit.

⁵and the old world did not spare, but the eighth person, Noah, of righteousness a preacher, did keep, a flood on the world of the impious having brought,

⁶ Te it Yàlla daan na dëkki Sodom ak Gomor, raafal leen cig lakk, ñuy misaalu ñiy weddi ëllëg.

⁶and the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah having turned to ashes, with an overthrow did condemn, an example to those about to be impious having set [them];

⁷ Waaye musal na Lóot mi jub, mi sonnoon ndax ñaawteefi ñu dëng, ñooñu mu nekkaloon.

⁷and righteous Lot, worn down by the conduct in lasciviousness of the impious, He did rescue,

⁸ Ndaxte Lóot, mi dëkkoon ci seen biir, dafa dëkke woon tiisu xol, ndax ñaawteef yi mu gis ak a dégg guddi ak bëccëg.

⁸for in seeing and hearing, the righteous man, dwelling among them, day by day the righteous soul with unlawful works was harassing.

⁹ Gannaaw loolu lépp am na nag, nanu bir ne, Boroom bi man na musal aji gëm ji nekk ci nattu, te denc ñi jubadi, ngir alag leen bésu àtte ba.

⁹The Lord hath known to rescue pious ones out of temptation, and unrighteous ones to a day of judgment, being punished, to keep,

¹⁰ Rawatina ñiy topp seen bakkan ciy bëgg-bëgg yu ruslu, te faalewuñu genn kilifteef. ñu ñeme Yàlla lañu, te dëgër bopp, ba ragaluñoo xas kilifa ya gëna kawe.

¹⁰and chiefly those going behind the flesh in desire of uncleanness, and lordship despising; presumptuous, self-complacent, dignities they are not afraid to speak evil of,

¹¹ Fekk sax malaaka, yi leen ëpp doole ak kàttan, tey sax ca jetaayu Boroom bi, ñemewuñoo xas kilifa yooyu.

¹¹whereas messengers, in strength and power being greater, do not bear against them before the Lord an evil speaking judgment;

¹² Waaye ñoom dañuy xas ci biir yi ñu xamul. ñoom ak bàyyima ñoo yem, di ay mbindeef yuy tañaxu, te tër rendi rekk a jekk ci ñoom; dees na leen rey ni bàyyima,

¹²and these, as irrational natural beasts, made to be caught and destroyed — in what things they are ignorant of, speaking evil — in their destruction shall be destroyed,

¹³ muy seen peyug njubadi. Xawaare bëccëgu ndara-kàmm mooy seen bànneex. Su ñuy lekkandoo ak yeen, dañuy bànneexu ci seeni bëgg-bëgg, di ay gàkk ak i sikk ci seen biir.

¹³about to receive a reward of unrighteousness, pleasures counting the luxury in the day, spots and blemishes, luxuriating in their deceits, feasting with you,

¹⁴ Jigéen ju seen bët tegu, ñu xédd ko, ba duñu tàggook moy mukk; ku ñàkk pasteef ñu fàbbi la; ñu xelu lañu jëme cig bëgge -- ñu alku lañu!

¹⁴having eyes full of adultery, and unable to cease from sin, enticing unstable souls, having an heart exercised in covetousnesses, children of a curse,

¹⁵ Réer nañu ba wàcc yoon wu jub wi, topp yoonu Balaam, doomu Bosor, mi bëgge xiiroon ci njubadi.

¹⁵having forsaken a right way, they did go astray, having followed in the way of Balaam the [son] of Bosor, who a reward of unrighteousness did love,

¹⁶ Waaye déggadeem yóbbe na ko yeraanga; xam ngeen ne mbaam-sëf du wax, waaye mbaam wax na ak moom ci làmmiñ wu bir, ngir mu génn ci ndofam googu.

¹⁶and had a rebuke of his own iniquity — a dumb ass, in man`s voice having spoken, did forbid the madness of the prophet.

¹⁷ Ñooñule ay teen yu dëy lañu, di xiini lay, yu ngelaw liy naawal, te seen pey mooy lëndëm gu ne taraj.

¹⁷These are wells without water, and clouds by a tempest driven, to whom the thick gloom of the darkness to the age hath been kept;

¹⁸ Dañuy fàbbi ñu naroona mucc ci àddina ju réer, dig leen ak làmmiñ yu neex bànneexi bakkan yu jéggi dayo.

¹⁸for overswellings of vanity speaking, they do entice in desires of the flesh — lasciviousnesses, those who had truly escaped from those conducting themselves in error,

¹⁹ Dañu leen di dig ngoreel, te fekk ñoom ci seen bopp jaami yàqute lañu, ndaxte lu la noot, jaamam nga.

¹⁹liberty to them promising, themselves being servants of the corruption, for by whom any one hath been overcome, to this one also he hath been brought to servitude,

²⁰ Su ñu xamee Boroom bi, di sunu Musalkat Yeesu Krist, ba mucc ci sobes àddina, ba noppi sóobuwaat ca, ba mu noot leen, seen muj moo yées seen njàlbéen.

²⁰for, if having escaped from the pollutions of the world, in the acknowledging of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and by these again being entangled, they have been overcome, become to them hath the last things worse than the first,

²¹ Ndaxte ñu xam yoon wu jub wi, ba noppi dëddu ndigal lu sell li ñu déggoon, bañoon koo xam moo gënoon ci ñoom.

²¹for it were better to them not to have acknowledged the way of the righteousness, than having acknowledged [it], to turn back from the holy command delivered to them,

²² Noonu seen mbir dëggal na li ñuy wax ne: Xaj mooy waccu, di ko lekkaat; te it: Mbaam-xuux, loo ko sang-sang, mu xalangu ci ban.

²²and happened to them hath that of the true similitude; `A dog did turn back upon his own vomit,` and, `A sow having bathed herself — to rolling in mire.`
