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 cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
2 Yaatal-leen nu ci seen xol. Tooñunu kenn; lorunu kenn; naxunu kenn, jël alalam.
2Open your hearts to us. We wronged no one. We corrupted no one. We took advantage 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 say this not to condemn you, for I have said before, that you 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 of speech toward you. Great is my boasting on your behalf. I am filled with comfort. I overflow with joy in all our affliction.
5 Ba nu àggee diiwaanu Maseduwan, noppaluwunu, waaye coono bu ne daj nanu ko: xeex ci biti, njàqare ci biir.
5For even when we had come into Macedonia, our flesh had no relief, but we were afflicted on every side. Fightings were outside. Fear was inside.
6 Waaye Yàlla miy dëfël xolu ñiy yoggoorlu ndax tiis, dëfël na sunu xol ci ñëwu Tit,
6Nevertheless, he who comforts the lowly, God, comforted 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 by the comfort with which he was comforted in you, while he told us of your longing, your mourning, and your zeal for me; so that I rejoiced still more.
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 though I made you sorry with my letter, I do not regret it, though I did regret it. For I see that my letter made you sorry, though just for a while.
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.
9I now rejoice, not that you were made sorry, but that you were made sorry to repentance. For you were made sorry in a godly way, that you might suffer loss by us in nothing.
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 godly sorrow works repentance to salvation, which brings no regret. But the sorrow 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, that you were made sorry in a godly way, what earnest care it worked in you. Yes, what defense, indignation, fear, longing, zeal, and vengeance! In everything you demonstrated 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 although I wrote to you, I wrote not for his cause that did the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered the wrong, but that your earnest care for us might be revealed in you in the sight of 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.
13Therefore we have been comforted. In our comfort we rejoiced the more exceedingly for 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.
14For if in anything I have boasted to him on your behalf, I was not disappointed. But as we spoke all things to you in truth, so our glorying also which I made before Titus was found to be 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.
15His affection is more abundantly toward you, while he remembers all of your obedience, how with fear and trembling you 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 concerning you.
