1 Man Pool, ndawul Kirist Yeesu ci ndigalu Yàlla sunu Musalkat ak Kirist Yeesu sunu yaakaar,
1Paul, apostle of Jesus Christ, according to [the] command of God our Saviour, and of Christ Jesus our hope,
2 maa ngi lay bind Timote, yaw miy sama doomu diine ju wér. Na la Yàlla Baay bi ak Kirist Yeesu sunu Boroom may yiw, yërmande ak jàmm.
2to Timotheus, [my] true child in faith: grace, mercy, peace, from God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 Xam nga ne, ba may dem diiwaanu Maseduwan, ñaanoon naa la, nga des dëkku Efes, ngir dénk ña fa doon jàngale luy sànke, ñu bàyyi ko.
3Even as I begged thee to remain in Ephesus, [when I was] going to Macedonia, that thou mightest enjoin some not to teach other doctrines,
4 Te it nga dénk leen, ñu bañ a topp léebi diiney neen ak limi maam yu dul jeex mukk. Loolu werante rekk lay jur, waaye du jëme kanam mbir mi Yàlla tëral, wéer ko ci ngëm.
4nor to turn their minds to fables and interminable genealogies, which bring questionings rather than [further] God's dispensation, which [is] in faith.
5 Waaye li sunuy dénkaane di jur mooy mbëggeel gu jóge ci xol bu laab, ci xel mu dal ak ci ngëm gu wér.
5But the end of what is enjoined is love out of a pure heart and a good conscience and unfeigned faith;
6 Am na ñu moy loolu, ba jeng jëm ciy waxi neen.
6which [things] some having missed, have turned aside to vain discourse,
7 Dañoo sababloo nekk ay jàngalekat ci yoonu Musaa, fekk xamuñu dara sax ci li ñuy wax ak a dëggal.
7desiring to be law-teachers, not understanding either what they say or concerning what they [so] strenuously affirm.
8 Ci li aju ci yoonu Musaa nag, xam nanu ne baax na, ci ku koy jëfe ni ko Yàlla tërale.
8Now we know that the law [is] good if any one uses it lawfully,
9 Xam nanu it ne, tëddul ngir ñi jub waaye ngir ñi jubadi ak ñi déggadi, ñi weddi tey bàkkaar, ñi selladi te fonkadi Yàlla, ñiy dóor ndey walla baay, ak ñiy bóom;
9knowing this, that law has not its application to a righteous person, but to [the] lawless and insubordinate, to [the] impious and sinful, to [the] unholy and profane, to smiters of fathers and smiters of mothers; to murderers,
10 ngir ñiy doxaan, ñi góor-jigéenu ak ñiy def nit jaam, ñiy fen tey wann seen kàddu, ak lépp luy juuyoo ak njàngale mu wér
10fornicators, sodomites, kidnappers, liars, perjurers; and if any other thing is opposed to sound teaching,
11 mu xebaar bu baax bi indaale. Te xamleb xebaar, boobuy feeñal ndamu Yàlla Aji Tedd ji, dénk nañu ma ko.
11according to the glad tidings of the glory of the blessed God, with which *I* have been entrusted.
12 Maa ngi gërëm sunu Boroom Kirist Yeesu, mi ma dooleel, ci kóolute gi mu am ci man, ba fal ma jawriñ.
12[And] I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me power, that he has counted me faithful, appointing to ministry him
13 Moona daa naa suufeel turam, di fitnaal ak a toroxal ñi ko gëm. Waaye Yàlla yërëm na ma, ndaxte ñàkka xam ak ñàkka gëm rekk a taxoon ma def ko.
13who before was a blasphemer and persecutor, and an insolent overbearing [man]: but mercy was shewn me because I did it ignorantly, in unbelief.
14 Te yiwu sunu Boroom baawaan na ci man, ànd ak ngëm ak mbëggeel, yi bawoo ci Kirist Yeesu.
14But the grace of our Lord surpassingly over-abounded with faith and love, which [is] in Christ Jesus.
15 Wax ju wóor a ngii te yelloo gépp kóolute: Kirist Yeesu ganesi na àddina, ngir musal bàkkaarkat yi, te maa ci raw!
15Faithful [is] the word, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom *I* am [the] first.
16 Waaye Yàlla yërëm na ma, ngir Kirist Yeesu jëkk a feeñal ci man muñam gu yaatu gi, ma nekk royukaay ci ñi ko nar a gëm te am dund gu dul jeex.
16But for this reason mercy was shewn me, that in me, [the] first, Jesus Christ might display the whole long-suffering, for a delineation of those about to believe on him to life eternal.
17 Yaw Buur bi fiy sax ba abadan, yaw mi bët mënta gis, yaw Yàlla miy kenn, yaa yelloo teraanga ak ndam ba fàww. Amiin!
17Now to the King of the ages, [the] incorruptible, invisible, only God, honour and glory to the ages of ages. Amen.
18 Kon nag Timote sama doom, loolu mooy sas wi ma lay dénk, te mu dëppook waxi yonent, yi jëmoon ci yaw. Doolewool wax yooyu, ba xeex xeex bu baax bi,
18This charge, [my] child Timotheus, I commit to thee, according to the prophecies as to thee preceding, in order that thou mightest war by them the good warfare,
19 di sàmm sa ngëm ak xel mu dal. Am na ñu seen xel nëx, ba labal seen ngëm,
19maintaining faith and a good conscience; which [last] some, having put away, have made shipwreck as to faith;
20 naka Imene ak Alegsàndar; jébbal naa leen Seytaane, ngir ñu réccu li ñu doon sosal Yàlla.
20of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have delivered to Satan, that they may be taught by discipline not to blaspheme.
