¹ Man Pool, ndawul Kirist Yeesu ci coobareg Yàlla, man ak Timote sunu mbokk, noo leen di bind, yéen mbooloom Yàlla mi nekk dëkku Korent, ak gaayi Yàlla yu sell, yi nekk ci diiwaanu Akayi gépp.

¹Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the assembly of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in the whole of Achaia:

² Na leen Yàlla sunu Baay ak Boroom bi Yeesu Kirist may yiw ak jàmm.

²Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

³ Cant ñeel na Yàlla, Baayu sunu boroom Yeesu Kirist, di Baay biy Aji Yërmande tey Boroom lépp luy dëfël xol yi.

³Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort;

⁴ Mooy dëfël sunu xol ci sunu tiis yépp, ngir nun ci sunu bopp nu man a dëfël xolu ñépp ñi nekk ci tiis, di leen sédd ci noflaay, bi Yàlla def ci sunu xol.

⁴who comforts us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

⁵ Ndaxte ni coonoy Kirist di baawaane ci nun, noonu it la Kirist nekke buntu noflaay bu yaa, biy dëfël sunu xol.

⁵For as the sufferings of Christ abound to us, even so our comfort also abounds through Christ.

⁶ Su nuy jaar ci tiis, seen noflaay a tax ak seen mucc. Bu dee Yàlla dëfël na sunu xol, seen noflaay a tax, ngir ngeen man a dékku naqar yu mel ni yu nuy am, nun itam.

⁶But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation. If we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer.

⁷ Te sunu yaakaar ci seen mbir dëgër na, xam ne, ni ngeen bokke ak nun naqar, noonu ngeen di bokke ak nun noflaayu xol.

⁷Our hope for you is steadfast, knowing that, since you are partakers of the sufferings, so also are you of the comfort.

⁸ Ndaxte bokk yi, bëggunu ngeen umple tiis, wi nu daj ci diiwaanu Asi. Yen bi diisoon na lool ba weesu sunu kàttan, ba amatunu yaakaar sax ci dund.

⁸For we don’t desire to have you uninformed, brothers, The word for “brothers” here and where context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” concerning our affliction which happened to us in Asia, that we were weighed down exceedingly, beyond our power, so much that we despaired even of life.

⁹ Demoon nanu ba defe ne, dogalees na sunug dee. Loolu amoon na, ngir nu bañ a wéer sunu yaakaar ci sunu bopp, waaye nu wéer ko ci Yàlla, miy dekkal néew yi.

⁹Yes, we ourselves have had the sentence of death within ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead,

¹⁰ Moo nu musal ci dee gu metti googu te dina nu musalaat. Ci moom lanu wékk sunu yaakaar ne, dina nu musalati,

¹⁰who delivered us out of so great a death, and does deliver; on whom we have set our hope that he will also still deliver us;

¹¹ bu ngeen nu jàpplee di ci boole seeni ñaan. Noonu ñu bare dinañu gërëm Yàlla ci yiw, wi mu nu may te muy tontul ñaanu ñu bare.

¹¹you also helping together on our behalf by your supplication; that, for the gift bestowed on us by means of many, thanks may be given by many persons on your behalf.

¹² Li nuy tiitaroo moo di sunu xel day seede ne, ci kanamu àddina si, rawatina sax ci seen kanam, aw nanu ci tànk yu jub, ànd ak xol bu laab fa kanam Yàlla. Jëfewunu ci pexem nit, waaye ci yiwu Yàlla lanu jëfe.

¹²For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience, that in holiness and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God we behaved ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you.

¹³ Bindunu leen nag leneen lu dul li ngeen jàng te xam ko. Fi mu ne seen xam-xam ci nun matagul, waaye yaakaar naa ne, bu matee, dingeen man a tiitaru ci nun, ni nu koy defe ci yéen, bu bésu Boroom bi Yeesu ñëwee.

¹³For we write no other things to you, than what you read or even acknowledge, and I hope you will acknowledge to the end;

¹⁵ Kon ni ma ame woon kóolute googu, naroon naa jëkk a jaar ci yéen, ngir ganesi leen ñaari yoon.

¹⁴as also you acknowledged us in part, that we are your boasting, even as you also are ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus.

¹⁶ Bëggoon naa jaar ci yéen, dem diiwaanu Maseduwan, te bu ma jógee Maseduwan, dikkaat ci yéen, ngir ngeen waajal sama tukki ca Yude.

¹⁵In this confidence, I was determined to come first to you, that you might have a second benefit;

¹⁷ Ba may mébét loolu nag, ndax dama cee boolewul pasteef? Te ndax samay yéene yéeney nit kese la, ba may xel ñaar, naan «waaw» ak «déet?»

¹⁶and by you to pass into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and to be sent forward by you on my journey to Judea.

¹⁸ Wóor na Yàlla ne, li nu leen di wax, du «waaw» ju ànd ak «déedéet.»

¹⁷When I therefore was thus determined, did I show fickleness? Or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be the “Yes, yes” and the “No, no?”

¹⁹ Ndaxte Doomu Yàlla ji, Yeesu Kirist, mi nu doon yégle ci seen biir, man ak Silwan ak Timote, nekkul woon «waaw» ak «déedéet;» «waawi» Yàlla la mas a nekk.

¹⁸But as God is faithful, our word toward you was not “Yes and no.”

²⁰ Te lépp lu Yàlla dige woon fekk na «waawam» ci moom. Noonu kon ci Kirist lanuy waxe: «Amiin,» ngir yékkati ndamu Yàlla.

¹⁹For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, by me, Silvanus, and Timothy, was not “Yes and no,” but in him is “Yes.”

²¹ Te Yàlla moo nuy dëgëral ci Kirist, nun ak yéen, te sol nu Xelam.

²⁰For however many are the promises of God, in him is the “Yes.” Therefore also through him is the “Amen,” to the glory of God through us.

²² Moo nu màndargaal ni ay gaayam, def Xelam ci sunu xol, muy dawal ci cér, bi mu nu dencal.

²¹Now he who establishes us with you in Christ, and anointed us, is God;

²³ Man nag Yàlla seede na ma, te giñ naa ci sama bakkan ne, yërëm leen rekk moo tax delluseeguma Korent.

²²who also sealed us, and gave us the down payment of the Spirit in our hearts.

²⁴ Du caageen nag noo leen bëgg a noot ci lu jëm ci seen ngëm, waaye nu ngi liggéeyandoo ak yéen ngir seen mbég, ndaxte ci ngëm ngeen sax.

²³But I call God for a witness to my soul, that I didn’t come to Corinth to spare you.

²⁴Not that we have lordship over your faith, but are fellow workers with you for your joy. For you stand firm in faith.
