¹ Ndegam nag jot nanu ci dige yu mel nii, samay soppe, nanu sellal sunu bopp ci bépp sobeb yaram walla bu xel, dund dund gu sell, ba mat ci ragal Yàlla.

¹Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us purify ourselves from every pollution of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in God's fear.

² Yaatal-leen nu ci seen xol. Tooñunu kenn; lorunu kenn; naxunu kenn, jël alalam.

²Receive us: we have injured no one, we have ruined no one, we have made gain of no one.

³ Teg leen tooñ taxul may wax lii, ndaxte wax naa ba noppi ne, yéena ngi ci sunu xol ci dund ak ci dee.

³I do not speak for condemnation, for I have already said that ye are in our hearts, to die together, and live together.

⁴ Kóolute gi ma am ci yéen réy na. Tiitar bi may jële ci yéen réy na. Sama xol sedd na guyy. Damaa fees ak mbég ci bépp coono bu nuy daj!

⁴Great [is] my boldness towards you, great my exulting in respect of you; I am filled with encouragement; I overabound in joy under all our affliction.

⁵ Ba nu àggee diiwaanu Maseduwan, noppaluwunu, waaye coono bu ne daj nanu ko: xeex ci biti, njàqare ci biir.

⁵For indeed, when we came into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but [we were] afflicted in every way; without combats, within fears.

⁶ Waaye Yàlla miy dëfël xolu ñiy yoggoorlu ndax tiis, dëfël na sunu xol ci ñëwu Tit,

⁶But he who encourages those that are [brought] low, [even] God, encouraged us by the coming of Titus;

⁷ te du ci ñëwam rekk sax waaye ci li ngeen dëfël xolam. Yégal na nu seen nammeel ci nun, seen réccu ak seen farlu jëm ci man, ba sama mbég gën cee yokku.

⁷and not by his coming only, but also through the encouragement with which he was encouraged as to you; relating to us your ardent desire, your mourning, your zeal for me; so that I the more rejoiced.

⁸ Su fekkee ne sax, bataaxal bi ma leen bind dafa leen naqare, réccootuma ko. Ci lu jëkk réccu naa ko, ndaxte gis naa ne, bataaxal boobu teg na leen tiis, doonte sax ci diir bu néew.

⁸For if also I grieved you in the letter, I do not regret [it], if even I have regretted it; for I see that that letter, if even [it were] only for a time, grieved you.

⁹ Waaye sama xol sedd na léegi, du ndax seen tiis, waaye ci li mu tax ngeen réccu. Tiis wu jóge ci Yàlla ngeen tegoo, te àndul ak benn loraange bu bawoo ci nun.

⁹Now I rejoice, not that ye have been grieved, but that ye have been grieved to repentance; for ye have been grieved according to God, that in nothing ye might be injured by us.

¹⁰ Ndaxte tiis wu jóge ci Yàlla dina jur réccu guy jëme ci mucc, te réccu googu laajul gëstu. Waaye tiisu àddina day jëme ci dee.

¹⁰For grief according to God works repentance to salvation, never to be regretted; but the grief of the world works death.

¹¹ Seen tiis wi jóge ci Yàlla, gisleen nag li mu jur: ndaw njaxlaf ak lay ak mer ak ragal ak nammeel ak farlu, ak bëgg a yar ki tooñ! Ci seen jëf yépp wone ngeen ne, set ngeen wecc ci mbir moomu.

¹¹For, behold, this same thing, your being grieved according to God, how much diligence it wrought in *you*, but [what] excusing [of yourselves], but [what] indignation, but [what] fear, but [what] ardent desire, but [what] zeal, but [what] vengeance: in every way ye have proved yourselves to be pure in the matter.

¹² Kon nag su ma leen bindee, ki tooñ taxul, ki ñu tooñ it taxul, waaye dama leen a bind, ngir ngeen man a gis ci kanam Yàlla cawarte, gi ngeen am ci nun.

¹²So then, if also I wrote to you, [it was] not for the sake of him that injured, nor for the sake of him that was injured, but for the sake of our diligent zeal for you being manifested to you before God.

¹³ Te loolu seral na sunu xol. Sunu xel dal na, rawati ci li nu ànd ak Tit ci mbégam, ci li ngeen seral xolam, yéen ñépp.

¹³For this reason we have been encouraged. And we the rather rejoiced in our encouragement more abundantly by reason of the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.

¹⁴ Su fekkee ne tiitaru woon naa ci seen mbir ci kanamu Tit, rusuma ci. Dëgg rekk lanu leen mas a wax; noonu it la Tit gise ne, li nu leen doon seede lépp, dëgg la.

¹⁴Because if I boasted to him anything about you, I have not been put to shame; but as we have spoken to you all things in truth, so also our boasting to Titus has been [the] truth;

¹⁵ Te mbëggeelam ci yéen gën na yokku, buy fàttaliku ni ngeen ko déggale yéen ñépp, ci li ngeen ko teeru, ànd ak ragal ak weg.

¹⁵and his affections are more abundantly towards you, calling to mind the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him.

¹⁶ Bég naa, ndaxte xam naa ne, man naa leen a wóolu ci lu nekk!

¹⁶I rejoice that in everything I am confident as to you.
