¹ Waaye ci bànni Israyil, amoon na naaféq yu mbubboo turu yonent, ni muy ame seen biir ñuy mbubboo turu jàngalekat. Ci seeni pexe dinañu dugal ci yeen xalaat yu sànke, di weddi Boroom bi leen jot, tey yóbbe seen bopp alkande ju teew.

¹But false prophets also arose among the people, as false teachers will also be among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, denying even the Master who bought them, bringing on themselves swift destruction.

² ñu bare dinañu leen fekki ci seeni ñaawteef, ba gàkkal yoonu dëgg ci bëti nit ñi.

²Many will follow their immoral TR reads “destructive” instead of “immoral” ways, and as a result, the way of the truth will be maligned.

³ Seen bëgge dina tax, ñu dàbbdaaxe ay wax, ngir nax leen, ba lekk seenus tuut. Waaye àtte baa ngi leen di xaar, te seen alkande di leen teeru.

³In covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words: whose sentence now from of old doesn’t linger, and their destruction will not slumber.

⁴ Ndaxte Yàlla jeggalul malaaka ya bàkkaaroon, waaye tàbbal na leen safara, tëj leen ca kàmb yu lëndëm, di leen nége àtte ba.

⁴For if God didn’t spare angels when they sinned, but cast them down to Tartarus Tartarus is another name for Hell , and committed them to pits of darkness, to be reserved for judgment;

⁵ Te it jeggalul àddina su jëkk sa weddi woon, ba xooj ko ci ndoxu mbënn ma, waaye musal na Nóoyin rekk, mi daan waare ci njub, moom ak juróom-ñaari nit.

⁵and didn’t spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah with seven others, a preacher of righteousness, when he brought a flood on the world of the ungodly;

⁶ Te it Yàlla daan na dëkki Sodom ak Gomor, raafal leen cig lakk, ñuy misaalu ñiy weddi ëllëg.

⁶and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, having made them an example to those who would live ungodly;

⁷ Waaye musal na Lóot mi jub, mi sonnoon ndax ñaawteefi ñu dëng, ñooñu mu nekkaloon.

⁷and delivered righteous Lot, who was very distressed by the lustful life of the wicked

⁸ Ndaxte Lóot, mi dëkkoon ci seen biir, dafa dëkke woon tiisu xol, ndax ñaawteef yi mu gis ak a dégg guddi ak bëccëg.

⁸(for that righteous man dwelling among them, was tormented in his righteous soul from day to day with seeing and hearing lawless deeds):

⁹ Gannaaw loolu lépp am na nag, nanu bir ne, Boroom bi man na musal aji gëm ji nekk ci nattu, te denc ñi jubadi, ngir alag leen bésu àtte ba.

⁹the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptation and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment;

¹⁰ Rawatina ñiy topp seen bakkan ciy bëgg-bëgg yu ruslu, te faalewuñu genn kilifteef. ñu ñeme Yàlla lañu, te dëgër bopp, ba ragaluñoo xas kilifa ya gëna kawe.

¹⁰but chiefly those who walk after the flesh in the lust of defilement, and despise authority. Daring, self-willed, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries;

¹¹ Fekk sax malaaka, yi leen ëpp doole ak kàttan, tey sax ca jetaayu Boroom bi, ñemewuñoo xas kilifa yooyu.

¹¹whereas angels, though greater in might and power, don’t bring a railing judgment against them before the Lord.

¹² Waaye ñoom dañuy xas ci biir yi ñu xamul. ñoom ak bàyyima ñoo yem, di ay mbindeef yuy tañaxu, te tër rendi rekk a jekk ci ñoom; dees na leen rey ni bàyyima,

¹²But these, as unreasoning creatures, born natural animals to be taken and destroyed, speaking evil in matters about which they are ignorant, will in their destroying surely be destroyed,

¹³ muy seen peyug njubadi. Xawaare bëccëgu ndara-kàmm mooy seen bànneex. Su ñuy lekkandoo ak yeen, dañuy bànneexu ci seeni bëgg-bëgg, di ay gàkk ak i sikk ci seen biir.

¹³receiving the wages of unrighteousness; people who count it pleasure to revel in the daytime, spots and blemishes, reveling in their deceit while they feast with you;

¹⁴ Jigéen ju seen bët tegu, ñu xédd ko, ba duñu tàggook moy mukk; ku ñàkk pasteef ñu fàbbi la; ñu xelu lañu jëme cig bëgge -- ñu alku lañu!

¹⁴having eyes full of adultery, and who can’t cease from sin; enticing unsettled souls; having a heart trained in greed; children of cursing;

¹⁵ Réer nañu ba wàcc yoon wu jub wi, topp yoonu Balaam, doomu Bosor, mi bëgge xiiroon ci njubadi.

¹⁵forsaking the right way, they went astray, having followed the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of wrongdoing;

¹⁶ Waaye déggadeem yóbbe na ko yeraanga; xam ngeen ne mbaam-sëf du wax, waaye mbaam wax na ak moom ci làmmiñ wu bir, ngir mu génn ci ndofam googu.

¹⁶but he was rebuked for his own disobedience. A mute donkey spoke with a man’s voice and stopped the madness of the prophet.

¹⁷ Ñooñule ay teen yu dëy lañu, di xiini lay, yu ngelaw liy naawal, te seen pey mooy lëndëm gu ne taraj.

¹⁷These are wells without water, clouds driven by a storm; for whom the blackness of darkness has been reserved forever.

¹⁸ Dañuy fàbbi ñu naroona mucc ci àddina ju réer, dig leen ak làmmiñ yu neex bànneexi bakkan yu jéggi dayo.

¹⁸For, uttering great swelling words of emptiness, they entice in the lusts of the flesh, by licentiousness, those who are indeed escaping from those who live in error;

¹⁹ Dañu leen di dig ngoreel, te fekk ñoom ci seen bopp jaami yàqute lañu, ndaxte lu la noot, jaamam nga.

¹⁹promising them liberty, while they themselves are bondservants of corruption; for a man is brought into bondage by whoever overcomes him.

²⁰ Su ñu xamee Boroom bi, di sunu Musalkat Yeesu Krist, ba mucc ci sobes àddina, ba noppi sóobuwaat ca, ba mu noot leen, seen muj moo yées seen njàlbéen.

²⁰For if, after they have escaped the defilement of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in it and overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first.

²¹ Ndaxte ñu xam yoon wu jub wi, ba noppi dëddu ndigal lu sell li ñu déggoon, bañoon koo xam moo gënoon ci ñoom.

²¹For it would be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after knowing it, to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them.

²² Noonu seen mbir dëggal na li ñuy wax ne: Xaj mooy waccu, di ko lekkaat; te it: Mbaam-xuux, loo ko sang-sang, mu xalangu ci ban.

²²But it has happened to them according to the true proverb, “The dog turns to his own vomit again,” Proverbs 26:11 and “the sow that has washed to wallowing in the mire.”
