1 Man Pool, ndawul Yeesu Kirist ci coobareg Yàlla, ngir xamle dund gi nu Yàlla dig te féete ci Kirist Yeesu,
1Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, through the will of God, according to a promise of life that [is] in Christ Jesus,
2 maa ngi lay bind Timote, sama doomu diine ji ma bëgg. Na la Yàlla Baay bi ak Kirist Yeesu sunu Boroom may yiw, yërmande ak jàmm.
2to Timotheus, beloved child: Grace, kindness, peace, from God the Father, and Christ Jesus our Lord!
3 Fu ma tollu maa ngi lay boole ci samay ñaan, di ci sant Yàlla, mi may jaamu ci xel mu dal, ni ko samay maam daan defe. Guddi ak bëccëg, bu sama xel demee ci say rangooñ,
3I am thankful to God, whom I serve from progenitors in a pure conscience, that unceasingly I have remembrance concerning thee in my supplications night and day,
4 ma bëgg laa gis, ba am mbég mu réy.
4desiring greatly to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that with joy I may be filled,
5 Maa ngi fàttaliku sa ngëm gu dëggu, gi nekkoon ci sa maam Lowis ak sa yaay Ënis, te mu wóor ma ne, sax na ci yaw it.
5taking remembrance of the unfeigned faith that is in thee, that dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice, and I am persuaded that also in thee.
6 Looloo tax maa ngi lay fàttali, nga xambaat taal bi Yàlla taal ci yaw, di may gi mu la jagleel, bi ma la tegee samay loxo.
6For which cause I remind thee to stir up the gift of God that is in thee through the putting on of my hands,
7 Ndaxte Xel mi nu Yàlla sol du ànd ak ragal, waaye day ànd ak kàttan, mbëggeel ak moom sa bopp.
7for God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind;
8 Bul rus ci seedeel sunu Boroom, mbaa ci li ñu ma tëj ndax turam, waaye bokkal ak man tiis ci xamle xebaar bu baax bi, wéeru ci kàttanu Yàlla.
8therefore thou mayest not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but do thou suffer evil along with the good news according to the power of God,
9 Moo nu musal te woo nu ci dund gu sell, ci lu ajuwul ci sunuy jëf, waaye ci dogalu boppam ak yiwam, wi nu Yàlla may ci Kirist Yeesu, ba àddina sosoogul.
9who did save us, and did call with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace, that was given to us in Christ Jesus, before the times of the ages,
10 Te léegi biral na ko ci feeñug sunu Musalkat Kirist Yeesu, mi nasaxal dee te feeñal dund ci xebaar bu baax bi, te muy dund gu sax.
10and was made manifest now through the manifestation of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who indeed did abolish death, and did enlighten life and immortality through the good news,
11 Te Yàlla fal na ma ndaw ak jàngalekat, ngir may yégle xebaar bi;
11to which I was placed a preacher and an apostle, and a teacher of nations,
12 looloo tax ma jànkoonte ak tiis yu mel nii. Waaye rusuma ci, ndaxte xam naa Ki ma wékk sama yaakaar, te wóor na ma ne, li ma ko dénk, man na koo denc ba bés ba.
12for which cause also these things I suffer, but I am not ashamed, for I have known in whom I have believed, and have been persuaded that he is able that which I have committed to him to guard -- to that day.
13 Toppal ci tànki wax yu wér yi nga dégge ci man, jàpp ci ak ngëm ak mbëggeel, yi nu am ci sunu bokk ci Kirist Yeesu.
13The pattern hold thou of sound words, which from me thou didst hear, in faith and love that [is] in Christ Jesus;
14 Te nga sàmm bu baax li la Yàlla dénk, wéeru ci Xel mu Sell, mi dëkk ci nun.
14the good thing committed guard thou through the Holy Spirit that is dwelling in us;
15 Xam nga ne, waa diiwaanu Asi gépp, won nañu ma gannaaw, ñu deme niki Fusel ak Ermosen.
15thou hast known this, that they did turn from me -- all those in Asia, of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes;
16 Waaye Onesifor daa na faral di dëfël sama xol; na Boroom bi sotti yërmandeem ci këram. Rusul woon sax ci samay jéng,
16may the Lord give kindness to the house of Onesiphorus, because many times he did refresh me, and of my chain was not ashamed,
17 waaye bi mu ñëwee dëkku Room, wut na ma fu ne, ba gis ma.
17but being in Rome, very diligently he sought me, and found;
18 Na ko Boroom bi teeru ak yërmandeem ca bés ba. Umplewoo it coono yi mu daj, ngir dimbali ma ca dëkku Efes.
18may the Lord give to him to find kindness from the Lord in that day; and how many things in Ephesus he did minister thou dost very well know.
