1 Xelum Yàlla mi wax na bu leer ne, ci mujug jamono dina am ñu bàyyi yoonu ngëm wi, di topp ay xel yuy fàbbee ak xalaati Seytaane.
1But the Spirit speaks expressly, that in latter times some shall apostatise from the faith, giving their mind to deceiving spirits and teachings of demons
2 Ñooñu ay naaféq yuy naxe lañu, te seen xol dërkiis.
2speaking lies in hypocrisy, cauterised as to their own conscience,
3 Dinañu tere séy, di araamal ay ñam, fekk Yàlla sàkk na leen, ngir ñi gëm te xam dëgg man ciy jëfandiku ak cant.
3forbidding to marry, [bidding] to abstain from meats, which God has created for receiving with thanksgiving for them who are faithful and know the truth.
4 Ndaxte li Yàlla sàkk lépp baax na, kon wenn ñam araamul ci ku koy jëfandikoo ak cant.
4For every creature of God [is] good, and nothing [is] to be rejected, being received with thanksgiving;
5 Ndaxte kàddug Yàlla ak ñaan ñoo koy sellal.
5for it is sanctified by God's word and freely addressing [him].
6 Saxal ci digal bokk yi loolu nag, kon dinga nekk jawriñu Kirist Yeesu ju baax ju regg ci kàdduy yoonu ngëm wi ak njàngale mu rafet, mi nga xam bu wér.
6Laying these things before the brethren, thou wilt be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished with the words of the faith and of the good teaching which thou hast fully followed up.
7 Tanqamlul ay léebi diiney neen, di ay wax yu amul bopp yu àddina kese; waaye tàggatal sa bopp ci ragal Yàlla.
7But profane and old wives' fables avoid, but exercise thyself unto piety;
8 Ndaxte tàggat yaram am na fu njariñam yem, waaye njariñu ragal Yàlla dafa daj lépp, ëmb digey àddina ak àllaaxira.
8for bodily exercise is profitable for a little, but piety is profitable for everything, having promise of life, of the present one, and of that to come.
9 Wax ju wóor a ngii, te mat a nangu ak gépp kóolute.
9The word [is] faithful and worthy of all acceptation;
10 Danuy ñaq tey bëre, ndaxte wékk nanu sunu yaakaar ci Yàlla Aji Dund ji, di Musalkatu ñépp, rawatina nag ci ñi gëm.
10for, for this we labour and suffer reproach, because we hope in a living God, who is preserver of all men, specially of those that believe.
11 Digal leen yëf yooyu nag ci sa njàngale.
11Enjoin and teach these things.
12 Bu la kenn xeeb ndax say at, waaye defal sa bopp royukaayu ñi gëm ci say wax ak say jëf, ci sa mbëggeel, sa ngëm ak sa cell.
12Let no one despise thy youth, but be a model of the believers, in word, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.
13 Li feek may dikk, saxal ci jàng di biral Mbind mi ci mbooloo mi, di leen dénk ak a jàngal.
13Till I come, give thyself to reading, to exhortation, to teaching.
14 Bul sàggane may gi nekk ci yaw, gi la Yàlla jox jaarale ko ci waxu yonent, keroog bi la njiit yi tegee loxo.
14Be not negligent of the gift [that is] in thee, which has been given to thee through prophecy, with imposition of the hands of the elderhood.
15 Faaydaalal yëf yooyu te sóobu ci, ba sa jëm kanam bir ñépp.
15Occupy thyself with these things; be wholly in them, that thy progress may be manifest to all.
16 Sàmmal sa bopp te sàmm sa njàngale, te sax ci; noonu dinga musal sa bopp, yaw ak ñi lay déglu.
16Give heed to thyself and to the teaching; continue in them; for, doing this, thou shalt save both thyself and those that hear thee.
