¹Be therefore imitators of God, as beloved children.

¹ Wa Irikoy dondon danga a izeyaŋ kaŋ a ga ba.

²Walk in love, even as Christ also loved you, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling fragrance.

² Wa dira baakasinay ra mo, mate kaŋ cine Almasihu ba iri, a na nga boŋ no mo ka bu iri se. A ciya salleyaŋ hari nda sargay* kaŋ gonda haw kaano Irikoy se.

³But sexual immorality, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be mentioned among you, as becomes saints;

³ Amma zina, wala ziibi kulu, wala biniyay, i ma si baa i ciine te araŋ game ra, zama yaadin no a ga hagu nd'a hanantey se.

⁴nor filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not appropriate; but rather giving of thanks.

⁴ Wa si sanni ziibey salaŋ, wala sanney kaŋ sinda nafa, wala me ziibey kaŋ mana hima nd'a. Amma wo kaŋ ga bis'a ga ti saabuyaŋ.

⁵Know this for sure, that no sexually immoral person, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ and God.

⁵ Zama woone araŋ bay daahir: zina-teeri kulu, wala boro laalo, wala boro kaŋ ga bini (zama biniyay ya tooru ganayaŋ dumi fo no), borey din kulu sinda tubu Almasihu nda Irikoy koytara ra.

⁶Let no one deceive you with empty words. For because of these things, the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.

⁶ Araŋ ma si ta boro kulu m'araŋ fafagu nda sanni yaamo, zama woodin yaŋ sabbay se no Irikoy bine ga tun borey kaŋ s'a gana se.

⁷Therefore don’t be partakers with them.

⁷ Araŋ binde, ma si margu nd'ey,

⁸For you were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord. Walk as children of light,

⁸ zama waato araŋ ya kubay no, amma sohõ araŋ ya annura no Rabbi ra. Wa dira danga annura izeyaŋ.

⁹for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth,

⁹ Zama annura albarka ga ti ihanno teeyaŋ kulu da adilitaray da cimi.

¹⁰proving what is well pleasing to the Lord.

¹⁰ Araŋ ma lasaabu ka bay haŋ kaŋ ga kaan Rabbi se.

¹¹Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them.

¹¹ Koyne, Wa si margu nda kubay goyey kaŋ sinda nafa, amma a ga hima araŋ ma kand'ey annura do k'i bangandi.

¹²For the things which are done by them in secret, it is a shame even to speak of.

¹² Zama haawi hari no boro ma baa salaŋ da haŋ kaŋ i goono ga te tuguyaŋ ra.

¹³But all things, when they are reproved, are revealed by the light, for everything that reveals is light.

¹³ Amma hay kulu kaŋ i ga kande annura do, annura g'a bangandi. Hay kulu kaŋ bangay mo annura no.

¹⁴Therefore he says, “Awake, you who sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”

¹⁴ Woodin se no a ne: «Ma tun, nin kaŋ goono ga jirbi, ka fun buukoy game ra, Almasihu mo ga kaari ni gaa.»

¹⁵Therefore watch carefully how you walk, not as unwise, but as wise;

¹⁵ Wa haggoy bo, da mate kaŋ araŋ goono ga dira nd'a, manti danga borey kaŋ sinda laakal, amma danga laakalkooniyaŋ.

¹⁶redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

¹⁶ Araŋ ma alwaati wi da laakal, zama jirbey wo ga laala.

¹⁷Therefore don’t be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

¹⁷ Woodin sabbay se, wa si goro danga boroyaŋ kaŋ sinda carmay, amma wa faham da haŋ kaŋ Rabbi ga ba.

¹⁸Don’t be drunken with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit,

¹⁸ Araŋ ma si bugu nda baji, kaŋ ga kande furkutaray, amma wa to da Biya _Hanno|_*.

¹⁹speaking to one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs; singing, and making melody in your heart to the Lord;

¹⁹ Araŋ ma salaŋ care se da Zaburayaŋ da saabi baytuyaŋ da dooniyaŋ kaŋ yaŋ fun Biya Hanno do. Wa baytu ka doon araŋ biney ra Rabbi se.

²⁰giving thanks always concerning all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to God, even the Father;

²⁰ Araŋ ma Baaba Irikoy saabu hay kulu se waati kulu, iri Rabbo Yesu Almasihu maa ra.

²¹subjecting yourselves one to another in the fear of Christ.

²¹ Araŋ m'araŋ boŋ ye ganda care se Almasihu humburkumay ra.

²²Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord.

²² Wandey, araŋ m'araŋ boŋ ye ganda araŋ kurnyey se, danga mate kaŋ cine araŋ ga te Rabbi se.

²³For the husband is the head of the wife, and Christ also is the head of the assembly, being himself the savior of the body.

²³ Zama kurnye ga wande may mate kaŋ cine Almasihu ga nga marga may. Nga bumbo mo no ga ti gaahamo faabakwa. Gaahamo din no ga ti Almasihu marga.

²⁴But as the assembly is subject to Christ, so let the wives also be to their own husbands in everything.

²⁴ Yaadin no wande ma nga boŋ ye ganda nga kurnye se hay kulu ra, sanda mate kaŋ cine Almasihu marga ga te Almasihu se.

²⁵Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it;

²⁵ Kurnyey, araŋ ma ba araŋ wandey, mate kaŋ cine Almasihu ba nga marga ka nga boŋ no ka bu a se mo.

²⁶that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word,

²⁶ A na nga boŋ no zama a ma nga marga fay waani Irikoy se, waati kaŋ a n'a hanandi da nyumayaŋ hari Sanno do.

²⁷that he might present the assembly to himself gloriously, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

²⁷ A na woodin te mo zama a ma nga marga salle nga boŋ se, marga darzante kaŋ sinda tombi kulu, wala suuguyaŋ wala hayey din kulu dumi, hal a ma ciya marga hanante kaŋ sinda taali.

²⁸Even so husbands also ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself.

²⁸ Yaadin mo no a ga hima kurnyey ma ba ngey wandey danga ngey gaahamey cine. Boro kaŋ ga ba nga wando, a ga ba nga boŋ no.

²⁹For no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord also does the assembly;

²⁹ Zama boro kulu si no kaŋ si ba nga gaahamo, zama a g'a ŋwaayandi ka haggoy d'a mate kaŋ cine Almasihu goono ga te nga marga se,

³⁰because we are members of his body, of his flesh and bones.

³⁰ zama iri wo a gaahamo jareyaŋ no.

³¹“For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will be joined to his wife. The two will become one flesh.” Genesis 2:24

³¹ «Woodin se no alboro ga nga baaba nda nga nya naŋ, ka naagu nga wando gaa, i boro hinka mo ga ciya gaaham folloŋ.»

³²This mystery is great, but I speak concerning Christ and of the assembly.

³² Gundo wo ga beeri, amma Almasihu nda nga marga ciine no ay goono ga te.

³³Nevertheless each of you must also love his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she respects her husband.

³³ Woodin banda araŋ mo, araŋ boro fo kulu ma ba nga wando danga mate kaŋ cine a ga ba nga boŋ. Wando mo ma nga kurnyo gaakuro guna.
