¹ Nun ñi dëgër ci sunu ngëm, war nanoo nangu ñi seen ngëm néew te am ci lu ñuy sikki-sàkka, te bañ a yem ci wut sunu bànneex.

¹Now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

² Na ku nekk ci nun di wut lu neex moroomam ngir jariñ ko, ba mu gën a dëgër ci ngëmam.

²Let each one of us please his neighbor for that which is good, to be building him up.

³ Ndaxte Kirist musul a wut bànneexu boppam. Loolu la Mbind mi wax ne: «Lor yi ñu la saagaa, ci sama kaw lañu dal.»

³For even Christ didn’t please himself. But, as it is written, “The reproaches of those who reproached you fell on me.” Psalm 69:9

⁴ Ndaxte lépp lu ñu waxoon ci Mbind mi lu jiitu tey, dañu koo tëraloon, ngir nu sàkku ci xam-xam, xam-xam bu nuy may fit ak muñ, ak di feddali sunu yaakaar.

⁴For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that through patience and through encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.

⁵ Kon nag Yàlla miy maye muñ ak fit, na leen may, ngeen déggoo te nekk benn bu yellook li Kirist Yeesu wone.

⁵Now the God of patience and of encouragement grant you to be of the same mind one with another according to Christ Jesus,

⁶ Ba tax nu bokk benn xalaat ak benn baat ci màggal Yàlla, Baayu Yeesu Kirist sunu Boroom.

⁶that with one accord you may with one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁷ Moo tax nangoonteleen, bay màggal Yàlla, ni leen Kirist nangoo.

⁷Therefore accept one another, even as Christ also accepted you, TR reads “us” instead of “you” to the glory of God.

⁸ Lii laay wax: Kirist ñëw na liggéeyal Yawut yi, ngir wone kóllëreg Yàlla ci matal dige, ya mu digoon maam ya.

⁸Now I say that Christ has been made a servant of the circumcision for the truth of God, that he might confirm the promises given to the fathers,

⁹ Ñëw na itam ngir ñi nekkul Yawut man a màggal Yàlla ndax yërmandeem. Moo tax Mbind mi ne:«Dinaa la màggal tey tagg saw tur,ci kanamu xeet yépp.»

⁹and that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written, “Therefore will I give praise to you among the Gentiles, and sing to your name.” 2 Samuel 22:50; Psalm 18:49

¹⁰ Mbind mi nee na it:«Yéen xeeti àddina, ñëwleen bànneexuak xeet wi Yàlla tànnal boppam.»

¹⁰Again he says, “Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people.” Deuteronomy 32:43

¹¹ Mu dellooti ne:«Santleen Boroom bi, yéen waa àddina,te ñëw màggal ko, yéen xeet yépp.»

¹¹Again, “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles! Let all the peoples praise him.” Psalm 117:1

¹² Te it Esayi wax na ne:«Am na sëtu Yese buy ñëw,dina yilif xeeti ñi dul Yawut,te ci moom lañuy wékk seen yaakaar.»

¹²Again, Isaiah says, “There will be the root of Jesse, he who arises to rule over the Gentiles; in him the Gentiles will hope.” Isaiah 11:10

¹³ Kon Yàlla miy maye yaakaar, na def ci seen xol mbég mu réy ak jàmm ju yaa ci seen kaw ngëm, ba ngeen am yaakaar ju mat sëkk ci dooley Xel mu Sell mi.

¹³Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope, in the power of the Holy Spirit.

¹⁴ Bokk yi, wóor na ma ne, baax ngeen ba fa mbaax man a yem, fees dell ak xam-xam, ba man a jàngaleente mbiri Yàlla ci seen biir.

¹⁴I myself am also persuaded about you, my brothers The word for “brothers” here and where context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” , that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish others.

¹⁵ Bu sama kàddu diisee nag ci bataaxal bii, dara taxul lu dul bëgg a yeesal seen xalaat, ndaxte Yàlla ci kaw yiwam daf maa sas,

¹⁵But I write the more boldly to you in part, as reminding you, because of the grace that was given to me by God,

¹⁶ ma nekk jawriñu Kirist Yeesu, yebal ma ci àddina ci xeeti ñi dul Yawut. Liggéey bu sell laay def ngir Yàlla, ci xamle xebaaram bu baax bi, ngir xeeti àddina sell ci dooley Xel mu Sell mi, ba neex Yàlla, mel ni sarax su ñu koy jébbal.

¹⁶that I should be a servant of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, serving as a priest the Good News of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be made acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

¹⁷ Kon nag maa ngi bànneexu ci Kirist Yeesu ngir liggéey boobu ma Yàlla dénk.

¹⁷I have therefore my boasting in Christ Jesus in things pertaining to God.

¹⁸ Awma fitu wax leneen nag, lu dul li Kirist jëf jaarale ko ci man, ngir xeeti àddina jébbalu ci moom; jëf na jaarale ci samay wax ak samay jëf,

¹⁸For I will not dare to speak of any things except those which Christ worked through me, for the obedience of the Gentiles, by word and deed,

¹⁹ ci ay tegtal ak i kéemaan, sukkandikoo ci dooley Xelu Yàlla mi. Ba fi mu nekk nag yégle naa fu nekk xebaaru Kirist, li dale ci Yerusalem, jaar ci gox yépp, ba àgg diiwaanu Iliri.

¹⁹in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of God’s Spirit; so that from Jerusalem, and around as far as to Illyricum, I have fully preached the Good News of Christ;

²⁰ Sama yéene mooy xamle xebaaru turu Kirist fa mu eggagul, ndax bëggumaa yeggale sas wu keneen daloon.

²⁰yes, making it my aim to preach the Good News, not where Christ was already named, that I might not build on another’s foundation.

²¹ Li ma def nag, dëppoo na ak li Mbind mi wax ne:«Ñi yégagul mbiram dinañu ko yég,te ñi ko musul a dégg, xam ko.»

²¹But, as it is written, “They will see, to whom no news of him came. They who haven’t heard will understand.” Isaiah 52:15

²² Bëggoon naa ñëw seetsi leen, fekk ay téq-téq ñoo ma téye ba tey.

²²Therefore also I was hindered these many times from coming to you,

²³ Waaye nag léegi bey naa sama sas ci gox yii.

²³but now, no longer having any place in these regions, and having these many years a longing to come to you,

²⁴ Bu may dem Espaañ nag, bëgg naa faa jaar, nuyu leen; ndaxte ay at a ngii maa ngi am yéene ju tar ci ñëw seetsi leen. Bëgg na maa nekk ci seen biir, ngir am bànneexu sotteente ak yéen xalaat ab diir, te it ngeen waajalal ma sama yoonu Espaañ.

²⁴whenever I journey to Spain, I will come to you. For I hope to see you on my journey, and to be helped on my way there by you, if first I may enjoy your company for a while.

²⁵ Waaye nag fi mu nekk maa ngi dem nii Yerusalem, ngir dimbaliji gaayi Yàlla yu sell ya fa nekk.

²⁵But now, I say, I am going to Jerusalem, serving the saints.

²⁶ Ndaxte waa Maseduwan ak waa Akayi ñi gëm, fas nañu yéeney sàkk ci seeni alal, yónnee ko, ngir dimbali ñi néew doole ci gaayi Yàlla yu sell, yi nekk Yerusalem.

²⁶For it has been the good pleasure of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor among the saints who are at Jerusalem.

²⁷ Yéene nañu ko, te it ci dëgg-dëgg bor la, bu ñu war a fey. Ndaxte gannaaw ñi gëm ci Yerusalem séddoo nañu ak ñi dul Yawut seen ngëm, kon xeet yooyu itam war nañoo séddoo ak ñoom seen alal.

²⁷Yes, it has been their good pleasure, and they are their debtors. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, they owe it to them also to serve them in fleshly things.

²⁸ Kon nag waxtu wu ma noppee ci liggéey boobu, teg may gu tedd gii ci loxoy boroom, dinaa dem Espaañ, tey jaar fi yéen.

²⁸When therefore I have accomplished this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will go on by way of you to Spain.

²⁹ Te wóor na maa ne, bu ma agsee ci yéen, dinaa indaale barkeb Kirist bu mat sëkk.

²⁹I know that, when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of the Good News of Christ.

³⁰ Gannaaw loolu bokk yi, maa ngi leen di ñaan ci turu sunu Boroom Yeesu Kirist ak ci bëggante, gi Xelu Yàlla mi def ci nun, ngeen defal ma lii: àndleen ak man, nu tuur sunu ñaq ci ñaan Yàlla.

³⁰Now I beg you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the love of the Spirit, that you strive together with me in your prayers to God for me,

³¹ Ñaanal-leen ma, ngir ma mucc ci ñi gëmul ci waa Yude; te it gaayi Yàlla yu sell yu nekk ci Yerusalem nangu ndimbal, li ma leen di yóbbul.

³¹that I may be delivered from those who are disobedient in Judea, and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints;

³² Dolli ci, Yàlla may ma, ma ñëw seetsi leen ak xol bu sedd, nu booloo yeeslu fa kanam Yàlla.

³²that I may come to you in joy through the will of God, and together with you, find rest.

³³ Na Yàlla Boroom jàmm ànd ak yéen ñépp. Amiin.

³³Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
