³that the elder women in like manner be in deportment as becoming those who have to say to sacred things, not slanderers, not enslaved to much wine, teachers of what is right;

³ Yaadin mo no ni ma ne wayboro zeeney se i ma goro danga mate kaŋ hanantey hima ka te. I ma si ciya kormotanteyaŋ, i ma si ciya mo baji tamyaŋ. I ma hari hanno yaŋ dondonandi,

⁸a sound word, not to be condemned; that he who is opposed may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say about us:

⁸ Ma sanni hanno yaŋ te kaŋ yaŋ i si hin ka zeeri, hala borey kaŋ ga gaaba nda nin, haawi m'i di, zama i sinda hari laalo kulu kaŋ i ga ci iri boŋ.

⁹ Ma bannyey mo yaamar i ma ngey koyey gana zama i ma maa i kaani hay kulu ra. Bannyey ma si ngey koyey me bana.

¹⁰not robbing [their masters], but shewing all good fidelity, that they may adorn the teaching which [is] of our Saviour God in all things.

¹⁰ I ma si n'i zay mo, amma i ma ngey boŋ cabe naanaykoyyaŋ, hal i ma Irikoy iri Faabakwa boŋ dondonandiyaŋo boriyandi borey jine hay kulu ra.
