¹ Kon nag yéen samay bokk, ñi ma bëgg te namm leen, di sama mbég ak sama kaalag ndam, jàppleen bu dëgër noonu ci Boroom bi, soppe yi!

¹So that, my brethren, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, thus stand fast in [the] Lord, beloved.

² Ci lu jëm ci Ewodi ak Santis, maa ngi leen di ñaan, ñu bokk benn xalaat ci Boroom bi.

²I exhort Euodia, and exhort Syntyche, to be of the same mind in [the] Lord;

³ Te yaw sama nawle bu wér, nanga dimbali jigéen ñooñu xeexoon ci sama wet ci tas xebaar bu baax bi, boole ci Këlemaŋ ak samay yeneeni nawle, ñoom ñi Yàlla bind seeni tur ci téereb dund ba.

³yea, I ask thee also, true yokefellow, assist them, who have contended along with me in the glad tidings, with Clement also, and my other fellow-labourers, whose names [are] in [the] book of life.

⁴ Deeleen bég ci Boroom bi; maa ngi koy waxati: bégleen!

⁴Rejoice in [the] Lord always: again I will say, Rejoice.

⁵ Na seen lewet leer ñépp. Boroom bi jege na.

⁵Let your gentleness be known of all men. The Lord [is] near.

⁶ Buleen jaaxle ci dara, waaye ci lépp wéetal-leen Yàlla, diis ko seeni soxla ci ñaan gu ànd ak cant.

⁶Be careful about nothing; but in everything, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;

⁷ Noonu jàmmu Yàlla, ji xel mënta takk, dina aar seeni xol ak seeni xalaat ci darajay Kirist Yeesu.

⁷and the peace of God, which surpasses every understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts by Christ Jesus.

⁸ Léegi nag bokk yi, na seen xalaat jublu ci lii: lu dëggu, lu jekk, lu jub, lu sell, lu rafet ak lu faaydawu; su fi amee lu baax mbaa lu mat a naw, xalaatleen ko.

⁸For the rest, brethren, whatsoever things [are] true, whatsoever things [are] noble, whatsoever things [are] just, whatsoever things [are] pure, whatsoever things [are] amiable, whatsoever things [are] of good report; if [there be] any virtue and if any praise, think on these things.

⁹ Li ngeen jànge ci man te nangu ko, li ngeen dégge ci man te gis ko, jëfeleen ko; kon Yàllay jàmm dina ànd ak yéen.

⁹What ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, these things do; and the God of peace shall be with you.

¹⁰ Sama xol sedd na guyy ci Boroom bi, ci ni ngeen yeesale seen ndimbal ci man. Xam naa ne, amoon ngeen yéene ji, waaye man gi moo fi nekkul woon.

¹⁰But I rejoiced in [the] Lord greatly, that now however at length ye have revived your thinking of me, though surely ye did also think [of me], but lacked opportunity.

¹¹ Ba tey soxla taxul ma waxe nii, ndaxte jàng naa doylu ci mbir mu ma man a dab.

¹¹Not that I speak as regards privation, for as to me *I* have learnt in those circumstances in which I am, to be satisfied in myself.

¹² Miin naa ñàkk, man naa naataange. Ci fépp ak ci lépp, Yàlla def na ba sama xol toj ci suur ak xiif, barele ak néewle.

¹²I know both how to be abased and I know how to abound. In everything and in all things I am initiated both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer privation.

¹³ Man naa lépp ci ndimbalu Aji Dooleel ji.

¹³I have strength for all things in him that gives me power.

¹⁴ Waaye teewul taxawu, bi ngeen ma taxawu ci sama tiis, jëf ju rafet la.

¹⁴But ye have done well in taking part in my affliction.

¹⁵ Yéen waa Filib xam ngeen ne, bi ngeen jëkkee xam xebaar bu baax bi, te ma jóge diiwaanu Maseduwan, benn mbooloo àndul woon ak man ci mbirum joqleente ndimbal, mu dul yéen doŋŋ.

¹⁵And know also *ye*, O Philippians, that in [the] beginning of the gospel, when I came out of Macedonia, no assembly communicated [anything] to me in [the] way of giving and receiving save *ye* alone;

¹⁶ Ba ma nekkee dëkku Tesalonig sax, yónnee ngeen ay yooni yoon, ngir faj samay soxla.

¹⁶for also in Thessalonica once and even twice ye sent to me for my need.

¹⁷ Loolu tekkiwul ne, damay sàkku ay ndimbal ci yéen, waaye damaa bëgg rekk seen denc yokku fa Yàlla.

¹⁷Not that I seek gift, but I seek fruit abounding to your account.

¹⁸ Fi mu ne jot naa li ma aajowoo lépp, ba maa ngi ci naataange; li ngeen ma yónnee ci loxoy Epafrodit doy na sëkk; ni xetu latkoloñ la mel ci man, di sarax su neex Yàlla te mu nangu ko.

¹⁸But I have all things in full supply and abound; I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things [sent] from you, an odour of sweet savour, an acceptable sacrifice, agreeable to God.

¹⁹ Te Yàlla sama Boroom, mi denc ci Kirist Yeesu xéewal yu dul jeex, dina ci faj seeni soxla yépp.

¹⁹But my God shall abundantly supply all your need according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

²⁰ Na Yàlla sunu Baay yelloo ndam ba fàww. Amiin.

²⁰But to our God and Father [be] glory to the ages of ages. Amen.
