¹ Ci lu jëm ci ñëwu Boroom bi Yeesu Kirist nag, bokk yi, ak sunu daje ak moom, am na lu ma leen di ñaan:

¹And we ask you, brethren, in regard to the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, and of our gathering together unto him,

² bu leen kenn gaaw a tàggale ak seen sago, mbaa di leen jaaxal, muy yonent buy wax, muy kàddu mbaa bataaxal bu ñu nu moomaleel, ci ne leen bésu Boroom bi ñëw na xaat.

²that ye be not quickly shaken in mind, nor be troubled, neither through spirit, neither through word, neither through letters as through us, as that the day of Christ hath arrived;

³ Bu leen kenn nax ci benn fànn, ndaxte balaa booba, fàww Xiiroo bu mag bi ak Yàlla am, te Nitu ñaawteef ki feeñ, moom aji alku ji.

³let not any one deceive you in any manner, because — if the falling away may not come first, and the man of sin be revealed — the son of the destruction,

⁴ Day weddi lépp lu ñu teg Yàlla walla ñu koy jaamu, di yékkati boppam, ba toog sax ca kër Yàlla ga, tudde boppam Yàlla.

⁴who is opposing and is raising himself up above all called God or worshipped, so that he in the sanctuary of God as God hath sat down, shewing himself off that he is God — [the day doth not come].

⁵ Xanaa fàttalikuwuleen ne, waxoon naa leen ko, ba ma nekkee ak yéen.

⁵Do ye not remember that, being yet with you, these things I said to you?

⁶ Te xam ngeen li ko téye léegi, ba du man a feeñ lu dul ci waxtoom.

⁶and now, what is keeping down ye have known, for his being revealed in his own time,

⁷ Ndaxte fi mu ne ñaawteef gaa ngi jax-jaxi xaat ci kumpa, waaye ki ko téye mi ngi fi ba tey. Bu fi jógee nag,

⁷for the secret of the lawlessness doth already work, only he who is keeping down now [will hinder] — till he may be out of the way,

⁸ Nitu ñaawteef ki dina feeñ, te Boroom bi Yeesu dina ko rey ak ngelawul gémmiñam, tas ko ak leer giy ànd ak ñëwam.

⁸and then shall be revealed the Lawless One, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the manifestation of his presence,

⁹ Bu Nitu ñaawteef kooku feeñee, dina ànd ak kàttanu Seytaane ak doole ju bare, di wone ay firnde ak ay kéemaan yu dul dëgg;

⁹[him,] whose presence is according to the working of the Adversary, in all power, and signs, and lying wonders,

¹⁰ te dina nas bépp naxe buy sànke, ba yéem ñi nar a alku, ndaxte ubbiluñu seeni xol dëgg, gi leen manoon a musal.

¹⁰and in all deceitfulness of the unrighteousness in those perishing, because the love of the truth they did not receive for their being saved,

¹¹ Looloo tax Yàlla yónnee leen xelum réer, ba ñu gëm fen.

¹¹and because of this shall God send to them a working of delusion, for their believing the lie,

¹² Noonu Yàlla dina mbugal ñépp ñi gëmul woon dëgg te doon bànneexu ci njubadi.

¹²that they may be judged — all who did not believe the truth, but were well pleased in the unrighteousness.

¹³ Kon nag bokk yi, yéen ñi Boroom bi bëgg, mënunu lu dul sax ci sant Yàlla ci li mu leen tànn ca njàlbéen ga, ngir musal leen, mu sédde leen boppam jaarale ko ci jëfu Xel mu Sell mi ak seen gëm dëgg gi.

¹³And we — we ought to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, beloved by the Lord, that God did choose you from the beginning to salvation, in sanctification of the Spirit, and belief of the truth,

¹⁴ Te Yàlla woo na leen ci loolu jaarale ko ci xebaar bu baax, bi nu leen doon yégal, ngir ngeen bokk ci ndamu sunu Boroom Yeesu Kirist.

¹⁴to which He did call you through our good news, to the acquiring of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ;

¹⁵ Kon nag bokk yi, taxawleen bu dëgër te jàpp ci dénkaane yi nu leen jottali, muy ci li nu wax, muy ci li nu bind.

¹⁵so, then, brethren, stand ye fast, and hold the deliverances that ye were taught, whether through word, whether through our letter;

¹⁶ Na sunu Boroom Yeesu Kirist moom ci boppam ak Yàlla sunu Baay, mi nu bëgg te wone yiwam ci nun, ba ubbil nu buntu jàmm ju sax ak yaakaar ju wér,

¹⁶and may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and our God and Father, who did love us, and did give comfort age-during, and good hope in grace,

¹⁷ dëfël seeni xol te saxal leen ci bépp jëf ju rafet ak gépp kàddu gu baax.

¹⁷comfort your hearts, and establish you in every good word and work.
