1 Nun nag ñiy liggéeyandoo ak Yàlla, nu ngi leen di ñaan: jariñooleen yiw, wi ngeen jote ci Yàlla, ngir mu bañ a neen ci yéen.
1Working together, we entreat also that you not receive the grace of God in vain,
2 Ndaxte Yàlla nee na:«Ca jamono ja mu jekke, nangu naa sa ñaan;ci bésu mucc gi laa la wallu.» Tey jii la jamono ju jekk ji; tey la bésub mucc gi.
2for he says, “At an acceptable time I listened to you, in a day of salvation I helped you.” Isaiah 49:8 Behold, now is the acceptable time. Behold, now is the day of salvation.
3 Bëggunoo lëmbaaje xelu kenn ci dara, ngir kenn bañ a sikk sunu liggéey.
3We give no occasion of stumbling in anything, that our service may not be blamed,
4 Li nu bëgg moo di rafetal sunu tur ni jawriñi Yàlla ci fànn gu nekk; danuy muñ coono yi, tiis yi, njàqare yi;
4but in everything commending ourselves, as servants of God, in great endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in distresses,
5 ñu nuy dóor, di nu tëj ci kaso, dëkk yi di yengu ndax sunu mbir; nuy liggéey ba sonn, di fanaanee xool, di woor.
5in beatings, in imprisonments, in riots, in labors, in watchings, in fastings;
6 Nu ngi rafetal sunu yen ci dund gu sell, ci xam-xam, muñ ak laabiir, ci Xel mu Sell mi ak ci mbëggeel gu raxul njublaŋ,
6in pureness, in knowledge, in patience, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in sincere love,
7 ci kàddug dëgg ak ci kàttanu Yàlla, nu ngi yor gànnaayi njubte ci loxol ndeyjoor ak lu càmmooñ.
7in the word of truth, in the power of God; by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
8 Ñu bàkk nu, jéppi nu, sant nu, xas nu. Ñu di nu jiiñ réeral, moona niti dëgg lanu.
8by glory and dishonor, by evil report and good report; as deceivers, and yet true;
9 Ñuy xeeb sunu tur, moona tur yi siiw nañu. Nu mel ni ñu loof, moona nu ngi dund. Ñu yar nu, teewul nu rëcc ci dee.
9as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold, we live; as punished, and not killed;
10 Danuy dékku tiis, waaye di bég fu nu tollu. Nu tumurànke, waaye di woomal ñu bare; amunu dara, fekk noo moom lépp.
10as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.
11 Yéen bokki Korent, wax nanu leen sunu biir ak sunu biti, di leen ubbil sunu xol.
11Our mouth is open to you, Corinthians. Our heart is enlarged.
12 Ubbiku nanu ci yéen, waaye yéen ubbikuwuleen ci nun.
12You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted by your own affections.
13 Maa ngi wax ak yéen ni samay doom; feyleen nu bor bi, yéen itam; ubbileen seen xol!
13Now in return, I speak as to my children, you also be open wide.
14 Buleen likkoo ak ñi gëmul. Gan àndandoo moo man a am diggante njubte ak ndëngte? Gan booloo moo man a am diggante leer ak lëndëm?
14Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?
15 Gan déggoo moo man a am diggante Kirist ak Beliyar? Gan jaxasoo moo man a am diggante ki gëm ak ki gëmul?
15What agreement has Christ with Belial? Or what portion has a believer with an unbeliever?
16 Nan la këru Yàlla man a mànkoo ak xërëm yi? Ndaxte nun nooy këru Yàlla Aji Dund ji, ni ko Yàlla waxe:«Dinaa dëkk ci seen biir,tey dox ànd ak ñoom,ma nekk seen Yàlla,ñuy samay gaay.»
16What agreement has a temple of God with idols? For you are a temple of the living God. Even as God said, “I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they will be my people.” Leviticus 26:12; Jeremiah 32:38; Ezekiel 37:27
17 Kon nag Boroom bi nee na:«Génnleen biir ñooñu te beru.Buleen laal dara lu am sobe,kon dinaa leen teeru.
17Therefore “‘Come out from among them, and be separate,’ says the Lord. ‘Touch no unclean thing. I will receive you. Isaiah 52:11; Ezekiel 20:34,41
18 Dinaa nekk baay ci yéen,ngeen di doom ci man, muy góor, di jigéen. Moom la Aji Kàttan ji wax.»
18I will be to you a Father. You will be to me sons and daughters,’ says the Lord Almighty.” 2 Samuel 7:14; 7:8
