1If therefore ye have been raised with the Christ, seek the things [which are] above, where the Christ is, sitting at [the] right hand of God:
1 Za kaŋ i n'araŋ tunandi Almasihu banda, araŋ ma hayey kaŋ yaŋ go beene ceeci, nango kaŋ Almasihu goono ga goro Irikoy kambe ŋwaaro gaa.
2have your mind on the things [that are] above, not on the things [that are] on the earth;
2 Araŋ ma laakal dake hayey kaŋ yaŋ go beena ra gaa, manti hayey kaŋ yaŋ go ndunnya ra gaa.
3for ye have died, and your life is hid with the Christ in God.
3 Zama araŋ bu no. Araŋ fundey mo goono ga tugu Almasihu banda Irikoy do.
4When the Christ is manifested who [is] our life, then shall *ye* also be manifested with him in glory.
4 Waati kaŋ Almasihu kaŋ ga ti araŋ fundo ga bangay, araŋ mo ga bangay a banda darza ra.
5Put to death therefore your members which [are] upon the earth, fornication, uncleanness, vile passions, evil lust, and unbridled desire, which is idolatry.
5 Araŋ ma ndunnya hayey kaŋ goono ga goy araŋ gaaham jarey ra wi. Ngey neeya: zina, da ziibi, da canse laalo, da ibaay laalo, da biniyay (zama biniyay ya tooru ganayaŋ dumi fo no).
6On account of which things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.
6 Woodin yaŋ sabbay se mo no Irikoy bine tuna goono ga kaa borey kaŋ ga wangu ka Irikoy gana yaŋ gaa.
7In which *ye* also once walked when ye lived in these things.
7 I game ra mo no araŋ n'araŋ diraw te waato, waato kaŋ araŋ goro hayey din ra.
8But now, put off, *ye* also, all [these] things, wrath, anger, malice, blasphemy, vile language out of your mouth.
8 Amma sohõ, kal araŋ ma woone yaŋ kulu naŋ: bine tunay, da futay, da zamba, da alaasiray. Sanni ziibo mo ma si fatta araŋ meyey ra.
9Do not lie to one another, having put off the old man with his deeds,
9 Koyne, araŋ ma si taari care se, zama araŋ na boro* zeena kaa, nga nda nga goyey kulu.
10and having put on the new, renewed into full knowledge according to [the] image of him that has created him;
10 Araŋ na boro* tajo faka mo kaŋ Irikoy, a Takakwa, goono ga tajandi bayray ra nga bumbo alhaalo boŋ.
11wherein there is not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondman, freeman; but Christ [is] everything, and in all.
11 Boro tajitara din ra fayanka si no: da Garekey no wala Yahudancey*, da dambanguyankoy wala boro kaŋ si dambangu, wala mebaraw, wala Sitancey _(danga mebaraw kulu koda)|_, wala bannya, wala burcini. Amma Almasihu no ga ti hay kulu, a go hay kulu ra mo.
12Put on therefore, as [the] elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, longsuffering;
12 Yaadin gaa, zama araŋ ya Irikoy suubananteyaŋ no, a hanantey no, da borey kaŋ a ga ba mo, kal araŋ ma bakaraw bine faka, da booriyaŋ, da boŋ kaynandiyaŋ, da lalabu, da suuru kuuku.
13forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any should have a complaint against any; even as the Christ has forgiven you, so also [do] *ye*.
13 Araŋ ma suuru care se, araŋ ma care yaafa mo. D'araŋ ra boro fo gonda kalima sanni boro fo boŋ, a ga hima, mate kaŋ cine Rabbi n'araŋ yaafa, yaadin mo no araŋ ma te care se.
14And to all these [add] love, which is the bond of perfectness.
14 Hayey din kulu boŋ, araŋ ma bara nda baakasinay, zama nga no g'araŋ haw care gaa gumo hal araŋ ma ciya afolloŋ.
15And let the peace of Christ preside in your hearts, to which also ye have been called in one body, and be thankful.
15 Almasihu laakal kana mo m'araŋ biney may, zama laakal kanay wo se no i n'araŋ ce gaaham folloŋ ra. Araŋ ma saabu mo.
16Let the word of the Christ dwell in you richly, in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another, in psalms, hymns, spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to God.
16 Almasihu sanno ma goro araŋ ra, a ma yulwa mo laakal kulu ra. Araŋ ma care dondonandi ka care yaamar mo da Zaburayaŋ da saabu baytuyaŋ da dooniyaŋ kaŋ fun Biya Hanno do. Araŋ ma baytuyaŋ te da gomni araŋ biney ra Irikoy se.
17And everything, whatever ye may do in word or in deed, [do] all things in [the] name of [the] Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father by him.
17 Hay kulu mo kaŋ araŋ goono ga te, da sanni ra no wala goy ra no, araŋ m'a kulu te Rabbi Yesu maa ra ka Baaba Irikoy saabu a do.
18Wives, be subject to [your] husbands, as is fitting in [the] Lord.
18 Wandey, araŋ m'araŋ boŋ ye ganda araŋ kurnyey se, mate kaŋ a ga hima nd'a Rabbi ra.
19Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
19 Kurnyey, araŋ ma ba araŋ wandey, araŋ ma si fottu i gaa mo.
20Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing in [the] Lord.
20 Zankey, araŋ m'araŋ hayrey gana hay kulu ra, zama woodin no ga kaan Rabbi se.
21Fathers, do not vex your children, to the end that they be not disheartened.
21 Baabey, araŋ ma si araŋ izey kurtunandi, zama i biney ma si sara.
22Bondmen, obey in all things your masters according to flesh; not with eye-services, as men-pleasers, but in simplicity of heart, fearing the Lord.
22 Bannyey, araŋ m'araŋ koyey gana, kaŋ yaŋ ga ti ndunnya waney. Araŋ m'i gana hay kulu ra, manti waati kaŋ i goono g'araŋ guna hinne bo, zama se i ma maa araŋ kaani. Amma araŋ m'i gana nda bine folloŋ Rabbi humburkumay ra.
23Whatsoever ye do, labour at it heartily, as [doing it] to the Lord, and not to men;
23 Hay kulu mo kaŋ araŋ ga te, araŋ m'a te da bine kulu, danga Rabbi se, manti borey se.
24knowing that of [the] Lord ye shall receive the recompense of the inheritance; ye serve the Lord Christ.
24 Zama araŋ ga bay kaŋ Rabbi do araŋ ga du tubuyaŋ kaŋ ga ti araŋ alhakko. Wa may Rabbi Almasihu se!
25For he that does a wrong shall receive the wrong he has done, and there is no respect of persons.
25 Zama boro kaŋ ga laala te, i ga laala din yeti a se. Baar'a-baar'a si no mo.
