¹ Kon nag gannaaw mbooloo mu bare moo nu yéew, di nu seedeel seen ngëm, nanu yenniku bépp yen ak bàkkaar bu nuy téqtal ci lu yomb, tey daw xél wi nekk sunu kanam, ànd ci ak muñ.

¹Therefore let us also, seeing we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

² Nanu ne jàkk Yeesu, moom mi samp ngëm, ba ub làmbi ngëm. Mbég mi mu dëgmël moo tax mu dékku dee ca bant ba te faalewul toroxte, ji ko fa fekk, ba noppi toog ca ndeyjooru jal, ba Yàlla nekk.

²looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

³ Defleen seen xel ci moom, moom mi muñ noonu ko bàkkaarkat yi bañe woon, ngir bañ seen kàttan jeex, ngeen xàddi.

³For consider him who has endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, that you don’t grow weary, fainting in your souls.

⁴ Yéen demaguleen ba tuur seen deret ci seen bëre ak bàkkaar.

⁴You have not yet resisted to blood, striving against sin;

⁵ Te fàtte ngeen li leen Yàlla dénk ni baay ak ay doomam naan:«Sama doom, bul fonkadi yarub Boroom bimbaa ngay xàddi, bu lay yedd,

⁵and you have forgotten the exhortation which reasons with you as with children, “My son, don’t take lightly the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when you are reproved by him;

⁶ ndaxte ku Boroom bi sopp, yar la,tey duma bépp doom bu mu nangu.»

⁶For whom the Lord loves, he chastens, and scourges every son whom he receives.” Proverbs 3:11-12

⁷ Li ngeen di war a muñ, ab yar la. Yàlla dafay jëf ak yéen ni ay doomam, ndaxte ana doom ju baayam dul yar?

⁷It is for discipline that you endure. God deals with you as with children, for what son is there whom his father doesn’t discipline?

⁸ Bu ngeen bokkul woon ci yar, bi ñépp am wàll, kon dungeen ay doomi yoon; ay doom yu daganul ngeen.

⁸But if you are without discipline, of which all have been made partakers, then are you illegitimate, and not children.

⁹ Waaye sax far, sunuy baay ci àddina yaroon nañu nu, te wegoon nanu leen. Baay bi yore ruu yi kon, xanaa warunu koo gën a déggal ngir man a dund?

⁹Furthermore, we had the fathers of our flesh to chasten us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits, and live?

¹⁰ Sunuy baay yar nañu nu diir bu gàtt ci seen coobare. Waaye Yàlla dafa nuy yar ngir sunu njariñ, ngir nu bokk ci sellaayam.

¹⁰For they indeed, for a few days, punished us as seemed good to them; but he for our profit, that we may be partakers of his holiness.

¹¹ Li am moo di ne, yar bu nuy dal, du ànd ak bànneex, day naqari, waaye gannaaw ga dafay meññ jub ak jàmm, ci ñi ko jariñoo.

¹¹All chastening seems for the present to be not joyous but grievous; yet afterward it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been exercised thereby.

¹² Kon nag mayleen doole loxo yi toqi, ak óom yi bañ,

¹²Therefore lift up the hands that hang down and the feeble knees, Isaiah 35:3

¹³ te fàkkal seeni tànk ay yoon yu jub, ngir cér bi làggi bañ cee jekkalikoo waaye mu wére ci.

¹³and make straight paths for your feet, Proverbs 4:26 so that which is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.

¹⁴ Wutleen ak ñépp jàmm te fonk dund gu sell, ndaxte ku sellul doo gis Boroom bi.

¹⁴Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man will see the Lord,

¹⁵ Moytuleen ba kenn du ñàkk yiwu Yàlla mbaa kenn mel ni reen bu wex buy jebbi, ba di leen lëjal tey gaañ ñu bare ci wextanam.

¹⁵looking carefully lest there be any man who falls short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and many be defiled by it;

¹⁶ Moytuleen it ba kenn du njaaloo walla muy fonkadi yëfi Yàlla, ni Esawu, mi weccee woon ndonol taawam ngir ag lekk.

¹⁶lest there be any sexually immoral person, or profane person, like Esau, who sold his birthright for one meal.

¹⁷ Xam ngeen ne, ba ñu ca tegee tuuti, gàntu nañu ko, ba mu bëggee jot barke bi. Amul fenn fu mu jaar ba defar njuumteem, te jooy, yi mu doon jooy, mënu ci dara.

¹⁷For you know that even when he afterward desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for a change of mind though he sought it diligently with tears.

¹⁸ Ndaxte meluleen ni bànni Israyil ñoom ñi jege woon tund wu ñu man a laal, wu doon tàkk jeppit te ànd ak xiin ak lëndëm ak ngelaw.

¹⁸For you have not come to a mountain that might be touched, and that burned with fire, and to blackness, darkness, storm,

¹⁹ Jegewuleen liit guy jib ak baat buy wax ay wax yoo xam ne ñi ko doon dégg, ñaan ñu bañ leen cee tegal benn baat,

¹⁹the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which those who heard it begged that not one more word should be spoken to them,

²⁰ ndaxte mënuñu woon a dékku ndigal lii: «Su mala sax laalee tund wa, nangeen ko sànni ay xeer, ba mu dee.»

²⁰for they could not stand that which was commanded, “If even an animal touches the mountain, it shall be stoned TR adds “or shot with an arrow” [see Exodus 19:12-13] ”; Exodus 19:12-13

²¹ Te mbir moomu ñu doon seetaan dafa raglu, ba Musaa naan: «Damaa tiit bay lox.»

²¹and so fearful was the appearance, that Moses said, “I am terrified and trembling.” Deuteronomy 9:19

²² Waaye yéen jege ngeen tund wi ñuy wax Siyon, di dëkku Yàlla jiy dund, muy Yerusalem ba ca asamaan. Jege ngeen it junniy junniy malaaka yu bég-a-bég, ba daje di màggal;

²²But you have come to Mount Zion, and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable multitudes of angels,

²³ jege mbooloom taawi Yàlla, yu ñu bind seen tur ca asamaan. Jege ngeen Yàlla, jiy àtte ñépp; jege ruuwi nit ñu jub, ñi àgg cig mat;

²³to the general assembly and assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect,

²⁴ jege Yeesu, Rammukat bi sàmm kóllëre gu bees gi; jege deretam, ji ñu wis. Te deret jooju, li muy yégle moo gën a neex li deretu Abel doon yéene.

²⁴to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, Jeremiah 31:31 and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better than that of Abel.

²⁵ Moytuleen a tanqamlu nag kiy wax ak yéen. Ndegam ñiy tanqamlu ki leen di artu ci àddina, ñoo mënul a rëcc ci àtte bi, aste ku dummóoyu kiy wax ci asamaan.

²⁵See that you don’t refuse him who speaks. For if they didn’t escape when they refused him who warned on the earth, how much more will we not escape who turn away from him who warns from heaven,

²⁶ Bu jëkk baatam yengaloon na suuf, waaye léegi dafa dige ne: «Beneen yoon laay yengalaat suuf, yengal asamaan itam.»

²⁶whose voice shook the earth then, but now he has promised, saying, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth, but also the heavens.” Haggai 2:6

²⁷ Ci li mu wax: «Beneen yoon,» dafay xamle ne, Yàlla dina dindi yi ñu man a yengal, maanaam li ñu sàkk, ngir li ñu mënul a yengal sax ba fàww.

²⁷This phrase, “Yet once more,” signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that have been made, that those things which are not shaken may remain.

²⁸ Kon nag gannaaw dinañu jot nguur gu kenn mënul a yengal, nanu ci sant Yàlla, di ko jaamu, ni mu ko bëgge, boole ci wegeel ak ragal,

²⁸Therefore, receiving a Kingdom that can’t be shaken, let us have grace, through which we serve God acceptably, with reverence and awe,

²⁹ ndaxte sunu Yàlla, safara la suy lakke.

²⁹for our God is a consuming fire. Deuteronomy 4:24
