¹ Léegi nag yoon mënul a dab ñi bokk ci Yeesu Kirist.

¹There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don’t walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. NU omits “who don’t walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit”

² Ndaxte kàttanu Xelum Yàlla, tukkee ci Kirist Yeesu, di may nit dund gu bees, goreel na ma ci nootaangeg bàkkaar ak dee.

²For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.

³ Lu yoonu Musaa mënul woon a def, ndax néew dooley nit, Yàlla defe na ko nii: dafa yónni Doomam, ngir mu yor sunu jëmm, nun ñiy nekk ay bàkkaarkat, te mu jébbale bakkanam, ngir dindi bàkkaar yi. Noonu la Yàlla tase nguuru bàkkaar ci nit.

³For what the law couldn’t do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh;

⁴ Ba tax na léegi njub, gi yoonu Musaa di digle, am na ci nun, ñiy déggal Xelu Yàlla mi te bañ a topp sunu nafsu.

⁴that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

⁵ Ñiy topp seen nafsu, seeni bëgg-bëgg rekk lañu fonk, waaye ñiy topp Xelu Yàlla mi, coobareem lañu fonk.

⁵For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

⁶ Ndaxte fonk nafsu, ci dee lay jëme; waaye fonk Xelu Yàlla mi, dund ak jàmm lay joxe.

⁶For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace;

⁷ Ndaxte ku fonk sa nafsu, bañaaleb Yàlla nga, ndaxte doo déggal Yàlla, mbaa ngay sàmm ay santaaneem, te mënuloo koo def sax.

⁷because the mind of the flesh is hostile towards God; for it is not subject to God’s law, neither indeed can it be.

⁸ Kuy topp sa nafsu nag, doo man a neex Yàlla.

⁸Those who are in the flesh can’t please God.

⁹ Waaye yéen nekkatuleen ci topp seen nafsu, waaye yéena ngi topp Xelu Yàlla mi, bu fekkee ne mu ngi dëkk ci yéen. Ku amul Xelum Kirist nag, bokkuloo ci moom.

⁹But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if it is so that the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if any man doesn’t have the Spirit of Christ, he is not his.

¹⁰ Bu fekkee ne Kirist dëkk na ci yéen nag, lii moo am: seen yaram mi ngi ci dooley dee ndax bàkkaar bi nekk ci yéen, waaye seen xel mi ngi dund ndax njub gi leen Yàlla jox.

¹⁰If Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the spirit is alive because of righteousness.

¹¹ Kon nag gannaaw Xelum Yàlla, mi dekkal Yeesu ca néew ya, dëkk na ci yéen, dina tax seen yaram wi néew doole dund ci kàttanu Xel moomu dëkk ci yéen.

¹¹But if the Spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.

¹² Kon bokk yi, am nanu lu nu war, waaye waxumaleen topp sunu nafsu ak i bëgg-bëggam;

¹²So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.

¹³ ndaxte kuy topp nafsoom, fàww mu dee, waaye kuy noot jëfi yaramam ci dooley Xelu Yàlla mi, dina dund.

¹³For if you live after the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

¹⁴ Ndaxte ñépp ñiy déggal Xelu Yàlla mi, ay doomi Yàlla lañu.

¹⁴For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are children of God.

¹⁵ Kon nekkatuleen fa kanam Yàlla, ni jaam bu ragal sangam, waaye Xel mi leen Yàlla sol, ay doomi Yàlla la leen def, ba tax nu di wooye Yàlla: «Abba,» maanaam «Baay bi.»

¹⁵For you didn’t receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, “Abba Abba is an Aramaic word for father or daddy, often used affectionately and respectfully in prayer to our Father in heaven. ! Father!”

¹⁶ Ndaxte Xelu Yàlla mi, moom ci boppam, day ànd ak sunu xel ci seede ne, doomi Yàlla lanu.

¹⁶The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God;

¹⁷ Te gannaaw ay doomi Yàlla lanu, dinanu moomi lépp li Yàlla jagleel ay doomam, séddu ci ngëneel yi Kirist yelloo. Waaye nag ku bëgg a bokk ak Kirist ndamam ëllëg, war ngaa séddu ci ay fitnaam tey.

¹⁷and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ; if indeed we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him.

¹⁸ Xalaat naa ne sunu naqaru tey, wareesu ko tëkkale ak sunu ndamu ëllëg.

¹⁸For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which will be revealed toward us.

¹⁹ Ndax li Yàlla bind lépp a ngi ne seew a gis doomi Yàlla yi feeñ ci seen biir ndam.

¹⁹For the creation waits with eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.

²⁰ Ndaxte dunyaa bi bépp mu ngi ci yoon wu dul mujj fenn; teyu ko, Yàlla moo ko ko teg. Waaye teewul ñu am yaakaar ne,

²⁰For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but because of him who subjected it, in hope

²¹ Yàlla dina rengi seen buumi njaam ci dee, boole leen ci jàmmu doomi Yàlla yi ak seen ndam.

²¹that the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of decay into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.

²² Xam nanu ba fi nu tollu ne, li Yàlla bind lépp a ngi metitlu ni jigéen juy matu.

²²For we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now.

²³ Te du dunyaa bi rekk mooy metitlu, nun it nu ngi metitlu, nun ñi Yàlla sol Xelam, ngir nu ñam añu ëllëg; nu ngi ne seew Yàlla boole nu ci lépp li nu yelloo ni ay doomam, keroog bés bu Yàllay goreel sunu yaram.

²³Not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for adoption, the redemption of our body.

²⁴ Ndaxte sunu mucc ëmb na yaakaar. Li nga gis ba noppi, nekkatul yaakaar; li teew, noo koy yaakaare?

²⁴For we were saved in hope, but hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for that which he sees?

²⁵ Li feek gisagunu nag li nuy yaakaar, dinanu ko séentu ak muñ.

²⁵But if we hope for that which we don’t see, we wait for it with patience.

²⁶ Te it Xelu Yàlla mi moo nuy xettali ci sunug néew doole. Ndaxte xamunu sax naka lanu war a ñaane Yàlla, waaye Xelu Yàlla maa ngi nuy ñaanal fa moom ak i yéene yu làmmiñ mënta takk.

²⁶In the same way, the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we don’t know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which can’t be uttered.

²⁷ Te Yàlla, miy nattu xol yi, xam na xalaatu Xel mi, ndaxte tinu, gi muy tinul gaayi Yàlla yi, mengoo na ak coobareg Yàlla.

²⁷He who searches the hearts knows what is on the Spirit’s mind, because he makes intercession for the saints according to God.

²⁸ Xam nanu itam ne ñi bëgg Yàlla, maanaam ñi Yàlla woo ci boppam te boole leen ci li mu tëral, Yàlla dina joo loxoom ci lépp lu xew ci seen dund, ngir jural leen lu baax.

²⁸We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose.

²⁹ Ndaxte ñi mu xamoon lu jiitu, dafa dogaloon ñu nirook Doomam, ngir mu nekk taaw ci biir njaboot gu yaa.

²⁹For whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. The word for “brothers” here and where context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.”

³⁰ Te ñi mu dogaloon loolu ci ñoom, da leen a woo; te ñooñu mu woo, da leen a àtte ni ñu jub; te ñooñu mu àtte jub, da leen a boole ca ndamam.

³⁰Whom he predestined, those he also called. Whom he called, those he also justified. Whom he justified, those he also glorified.

³¹ Lu nu war a wax nag ci loolu lépp? Gannaaw Yàlla ànd na ak nun, kan moo nu manal dara?

³¹What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

³² Yàlla mi nu gàntulul Doomam waaye mu joxe ko, mu dee ngir nun, ndax dina nu bañalati dara?

³²He who didn’t spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how would he not also with him freely give us all things?

³³ Ñi Yàlla tànnal boppam, kan moo leen di tuumaal? Yàlla moo leen àtte ni ñu jub.

³³Who could bring a charge against God’s chosen ones? It is God who justifies.

³⁴ Kan moo leen man a teg tooñ? Yeesu Kirist mi dee, moo dekki itam, te mu nga fa ndeyjoorul Yàlla, di nu fa ñaanal!

³⁴Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, yes rather, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.

³⁵ Kan moo nu man a tàggaleek mbëggeelu Kirist? Xanaa duy nattu, te du njàqare, du it fitna, du xiif walla rafle, du it ay ngaañ walla jaasi sax.

³⁵Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Could oppression, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

³⁶ Moo tax Mbind mi ne:«Ñu ngi nuy rey ngir yaw, ci suba ba jant so;ñu ngi nuy jàppe ni xar yu ñuy rey.»

³⁶Even as it is written, “For your sake we are killed all day long. We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” Psalm 44:22

³⁷ Waaye loolu lépp teewul, nu ngi mel niy ñeyi xare ci dooley Kirist mi nu bëgg.

³⁷No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

³⁸ Ndax wóor na ma ne, dara mënu noo tàggaleek mbëggeelam; du dee, du dund, du malaaka yi, du seeni kilifa, du tey, du ëllëg, du boroom doole yi,

³⁸For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,

³⁹ du li ci kaw mbaa li ci suuf, mbaa leneen lu ñu bind; dara mënu noo tàggale mukk ak mbëggeel, gi nu Yàlla jox ci Kirist Yeesu sunu Boroom.

³⁹nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
