¹ Lu nu war a wax léegi nag? Xanaa nu sax ci bàkkaar, ngir yiwu Yàlla gën a bare?

¹What, then, shall we say? shall we continue in the sin that the grace may abound?

² Mukk! Nun ñi dee, ba rëcc ci kàttanu bàkkaar, naka lanu manatee sax ci di ko def?

²let it not be! we who died to the sin — how shall we still live in it?

³ Xanaa dangeen a xamul ne, képp ku ñu sóob ci ndox, ngir wone ne, mu ngi bokk ci Yeesu Kirist, ci deewu Yeesu la bokk.

³are ye ignorant that we, as many as were baptized to Christ Jesus, to his death were baptized?

⁴ Bi ñu nu sóobee ci ndox moomu nag, day misaal ne, dañu noo suul ak Kirist, nu dee ni mu deeye woon; ba tax nu dekki it, ni mu dekkee woon ci dooley Yàlla Baay bi, te nu sóobu ci dund gu bees.

⁴we were buried together, then, with him through the baptism to the death, that even as Christ was raised up out of the dead through the glory of the Father, so also we in newness of life might walk.

⁵ Kon nag gannaaw benn lanu ak Kirist, dee ni mu deeye woon, kon dinanu nekk it benn ak moom, dekki ni mu dekkee woon.

⁵For, if we have become planted together to the likeness of his death, [so] also we shall be of the rising again;

⁶ Ndegam xam nanu ne, daajoon nañu Kirist ca bant ba, xam nanu it ne, jikko ju bon ji nu judduwaale, daajaale nañu ko ak Kirist ca bant ba. Te Yàlla def na loolu, ngir nguuru bàkkaar, gi nekkoon ci sunu yaram tas, nu rëcc ci dooleem.

⁶this knowing, that our old man was crucified with [him], that the body of the sin may be made useless, for our no longer serving the sin;

⁷ Ndaxte ku dee, bàkkaar mënatul dara ci yaw.

⁷for he who hath died hath been set free from the sin.

⁸ Gannaaw nag dee nanu ak Kirist, gëm nanu ne, dinanu dekki it ni moom,

⁸And if we died with Christ, we believe that we also shall live with him,

⁹ xam ne Kirist mi dekki dootul dee mukk, dee mënatul dara ci moom.

⁹knowing that Christ, having been raised up out of the dead, doth no more die, death over him hath no more lordship;

¹⁰ Dee na benn yoon, ba bàkkaar mënul ci moom dara; te mi ngi dund léegi, di ànd ak Yàlla ba fàww.

¹⁰for in that he died, to the sin he died once, and in that he liveth, he liveth to God;

¹¹ Ci noonu nag yéen itam tegleen seen bopp ni ñu dee ak Kirist, ba rëcc ci dooley bàkkaar, di dund, ànd ak Yàlla ba fàww ndax seen bokk ci Yeesu Kirist.

¹¹so also ye, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to the sin, and living to God in Jesus Christ our Lord.

¹² Buleen mayati bàkkaar nag, mu yilif seeni yaram yu néew doole, bay topp ay bëgg-bëggam.

¹²Let not then the sin reign in your mortal body, to obey it in its desires;

¹³ Te buleen jébbalati seeni cér bàkkaar, mu def leen jumtukaayam ngir jëfam yu jubadi; waaye gannaaw rëcc ngeen ci dooley dee, bay dundaat, jébbaluleen ci Yàlla te jébbal ko seeni cér, mu def leen jumtukaayam ngir jëfam yu jub.

¹³neither present ye your members instruments of unrighteousness to the sin, but present yourselves to God as living out of the dead, and your members instruments of righteousness to God;

¹⁴ Ndaxte bàkkaar dootu leen manal dara, yéen ñi génn ci yoonu Musaa, dugg ci yiwu Yàlla.

¹⁴for sin over you shall not have lordship, for ye are not under law, but under grace.

¹⁵ Lan lanu war a wax nag léegi? Gannaaw génn nanu ci yoonu Musaa, dugg ci yiwu Yàlla, ndax danoo war a sax ci def bàkkaar? Mukk!

¹⁵What then? shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? let it not be!

¹⁶ Ndax dangeen a xamul ne, koo jébbalu ci moom te déggal ko, jaamam nga? Naka noonu, mbaa ngeen nekk jaami bàkkaar, mu jëme leen ci dee, mbaa ngeen déggal Yàlla, mu sóob leen ci yoonu njub.

¹⁶have ye not known that to whom ye present yourselves servants for obedience, servants ye are to him to whom ye obey, whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness?

¹⁷ Waaye sant naa Yàlla ci lii: yéen ñi doon jaami bàkkaar, bi ngeen déggee mboolem dëgg gi, nangu ngeen ko ak seen xol bépp.

¹⁷and thanks to God, that ye were servants of the sin, and — were obedient from the heart to the form of teaching to which ye were delivered up;

¹⁸ Te ci noonu rëcc ngeen ci nootaangeg bàkkaar te jébbalu ci Yàlla, sóobu ci njub.

¹⁸and having been freed from the sin, ye became servants to the righteousness.

¹⁹ Xam naa ne, seen xam-xam ci mbir mii sorewul, moo tax ma yombal wax ji, awale ko ci baat yii. Ni ngeen jële woon seeni cér, jébbal leen, ñu nekk jaami lu selladi ak lu bon, di gën a jur lu bon, noonu itam léegi jébbal-leen seeni cér, ñu nekk jaami njub, ngeen door a sell.

¹⁹In the manner of men I speak, because of the weakness of your flesh, for even as ye did present your members servants to the uncleanness and to the lawlessness — to the lawlessness, so now present your members servants to the righteousness — to sanctification,

²⁰ Ndaxte keroog ba ngeen nekkee jaami bàkkaar, séquleen woon dara ak lu jub.

²⁰for when ye were servants of the sin, ye were free from the righteousness,

²¹ Ban njariñ ngeen ci jële nag? Dara lu dul gàcce, ndaxte ci dee la leen doon jëmale.

²¹what fruit, therefore, were ye having then, in the things of which ye are now ashamed? for the end of those [is] death.

²² Waaye léegi Yàlla goreel na leen ci kilifteefu bàkkaar, def leen ay jaamam, ba jural leen sell, jëme leen ci dund gu dul jeex.

²²And now, having been freed from the sin, and having become servants to God, ye have your fruit — to sanctification, and the end life age-during;

²³ Ndaxte peyu bàkkaar mooy dee, waaye mayu Yàlla mooy dund gu dul jeex ci Yeesu Kirist sunu Boroom.

²³for the wages of the sin [is] death, and the gift of God [is] life age-during in Christ Jesus our Lord.
