¹Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.

¹ Zankey, araŋ m'araŋ hayrey gana Rabbi ra zama woodin no ga saba.

²“Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with a promise:

² «Ni ma ni baaba nda ni nya beerandi.» Woodin no ga ti lordi sintina kaŋ gonda alkawli nga banda.

³“that it may be well with you, and you may live long on the earth.” Deuteronomy 5:16

³ Alkawlo din neeya: «Ni ga goro nda baani, ni aloomaro ga ku mo ndunnya ra.»

⁴You fathers, don’t provoke your children to wrath, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

⁴ Baabey, araŋ mo ma si araŋ izey kurtunandi hal i ma te bine, amma araŋ m'i biiri goojiyaŋ da kaseetiyaŋ ra, Rabbi wane.

⁵Servants, be obedient to those who according to the flesh are your masters, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as to Christ;

⁵ Bannyey, araŋ m'araŋ ndunnya wo koyey gana nda humburkumay da jijiriyaŋ bine folloŋ ra, danga mate kaŋ araŋ ga may Almasihu se.

⁶not in the way of service only when eyes are on you, as men pleasers; but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;

⁶ Wa araŋ koyey gana, manti waati kaŋ i goono g'araŋ guna hinne bo, zama se i ma maa araŋ kaani. Amma wa te danga Almasihu bannyayaŋ kaŋ ga Irikoy miila te da bine kulu.

⁷with good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men;

⁷ Araŋ ma may i se da bine yaddayaŋ, danga Rabbi se no, manti danga borey se.

⁸knowing that whatever good thing each one does, he will receive the same again from the Lord, whether he is bound or free.

⁸ Araŋ ga bay mo, hari hanno kulu kaŋ boro ga te, Rabbi ga woodin yeti bora se, da bannya no wala burcini no.

⁹You masters, do the same things to them, and give up threatening, knowing that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no partiality with him.

⁹ Araŋ mo koyey, araŋ ma te i se yaadin. Wa fay da deeniyaŋ, zama araŋ ga bay kaŋ araŋ kulu koyo go beena ra. Baar'a-baar'a si a do mo.

¹⁰Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might.

¹⁰ Woodin banda, araŋ ma te gaabi Rabbi do d'a dabari gaabikoono ra mo.

¹¹Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

¹¹ Wa araŋ wongu bankaarayey daŋ, wa araŋ wongu jinayey koto. Irikoy n'i no araŋ se zama araŋ ma du ka kay ka gaaba nda Iblisi carma.

¹²For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.

¹² Zama iri siino ga gurjay da Adam-izey bo, amma iri goono ga gurjay da koyey, da hinkoyey, da zamana wo kubay ra maykoy, da beena ra ganji laaley margey.

¹³Therefore put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and, having done all, to stand.

¹³ Woodin sabbay se binde, araŋ ma wongu jinayey kulu sambu kaŋ Irikoy n'araŋ no, zama araŋ ma du ka kay zaari laaley ra. Koyne, d'a kulu ban banda, araŋ ga kay.

¹⁴Stand therefore, having the utility belt of truth buckled around your waist, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,

¹⁴ Araŋ ma kay bo! Wa cimi _sanno|_ sambu, a ma ciya araŋ se guddama. Wa goy da adilitaray, a ma ciya araŋ se gande gaa kosaray.

¹⁵and having fitted your feet with the preparation of the Good News of peace;

¹⁵ Baaru Hanna ga laakal kanay daŋ _boro nda Irikoy game ra|_. Wa Baaru Hanna waazuyaŋ soola haw araŋ cey gaa danga taamu cine.

¹⁶above all, taking up the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil one.

¹⁶ I kulu boŋ mo, araŋ ma cimbeeri sambu, a ma ciya araŋ se danga koray cine. Kora din no araŋ ga hin ka hangaw danjikoy kulu kosaray d'a kaŋ Ilaala ga hay.

¹⁷And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word from Greek rhema, which means spoken word of God;

¹⁷ Wa sambu _araŋ|_ faaba, a ma ciya araŋ se wongu fuula. Wa sambu mo Irikoy Sanno kaŋ ga ti takuba kaŋ Biya _Hanno|_ n'araŋ no.

¹⁸with all prayer and requests, praying at all times in the Spirit, and being watchful to this end in all perseverance and requests for all the saints:

¹⁸ Araŋ ma adduwa te alwaati kulu mo Biya _Hanno|_ ra, adduwa kulu dumi da ŋwaarayyaŋ. Araŋ ma woodin haggoy da anniya ka ŋwaarayyaŋ te mo hanantey kulu se.

¹⁹on my behalf, that utterance may be given to me in opening my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the Good News,

¹⁹ Wa te adduwa ay mo se, hal ay m'ay meyo feeri ka salaŋ da bine-gaabi, ay ma Baaru Hanna gundo bayrandi borey se.

²⁰for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

²⁰ Zama ay ma seeda te mo da bine-gaabi mate kaŋ a ga hima ay ma te. Zama Baaru Hanna sabbay se ay ya wakiilu no kaŋ go hawante kasu ra.

²¹But that you also may know my affairs, how I am doing, Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful servant in the Lord, will make known to you all things;

²¹ Iri nya-izo Ticikos, kaŋ iri ga ba, saajawko naanaykoy mo no Rabbi goyo ra, a g'araŋ bayrandi d'ay baaru kulu, zama araŋ m'ay goray baaro bay, da haŋ kaŋ ay goono ga te.

²²whom I have sent to you for this very purpose, that you may know our state, and that he may comfort your hearts.

²² Woodin sabbay se no ay n'a donton araŋ do, zama araŋ m'iri gora bay, nga mo m'araŋ biney yeenandi.

²³Peace be to the brothers, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

²³ Laakal kanay ma bara nya-izey gaa, nga nda baakasinay mo cimbeeri* banda, kaŋ ga fun Baaba Irikoy da Rabbi Yesu Almasihu do.

²⁴Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ with incorruptible love. Amen.

²⁴ Irikoy gomno ma bara boro kulu banda kaŋ ga ba iri Rabbo Yesu Almasihu da baakasinay kaŋ si sara.
