¹ Yéen itam jigéen ñi, na ku nekk nangul sa jëkkër. Noonu su amee góor gu gëmul kàddug Yàlla, te gis jabaram di dund dund gu sell, boole ci weg ko, loolu dina ko gindi ci lu àndul ak wax.

¹In like manner, the wives, be ye subject to your own husbands, that even if certain are disobedient to the word, through the conversation of the wives, without the word, they may be won,

³ Bu seen taar aju ci col, maanaam ay létt, wurus mbaa yére yu rafet,

²having beheld your pure behaviour in fear,

⁴ waaye nay taar bu sax bu nekk ci biir, di xol bu nooy te dal, ndax loolu lu takku la fa Yàlla.

³whose adorning — let it not be that which is outward, of plaiting of hair, and of putting around of things of gold, or of putting on of garments,

⁵ Ndaxte jigéeni démb yu sell, ya gëmoon Yàlla, loolu moo doon seen taar; nanguloon nañu seen jëkkër,

⁴but — the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptible thing of the meek and quiet spirit, which is, before God, of great price,

⁶ ni Saarata déggale woon Ibraayma, ba daan ko wooye «Sang bi.» Yéen nag, su ngeen dee def lu baax te bañ cee boole genn njàqare, kon mel na ni Saarataa leen jaboote.

⁵for thus once also the holy women who did hope on God, were adorning themselves, being subject to their own husbands,

⁷ Te yéen itam góor ñi, na ku nekk ci yéen am xel, ci ni ngay ànde ak sa jabar, xam ne àndandoo ju la gën a néew doole la. Joxleen ko teraanga ju mat, ndax yéena yem cér ci yiwu Yàlla, wi nu ubbil buntu dund gu dul jeex. Noonu dara du man a yàq seeni ñaan.

⁶as Sarah was obedient to Abraham, calling him `sir,` of whom ye did become daughters, doing good, and not fearing any terror.

⁸ Kon nag bokkleen xalaat, bokkleen i tiis, bëgganteleen, yërëmante te woyof.

⁷The husbands, in like manner, dwelling with [them], according to knowledge, as to a weaker vessel — to the wife — imparting honour, as also being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers be not hindered.

⁹ Ku la def lu bon mbaa mu saaga la, bul feyyu, waaye ñaanal ko lu baax; ndaxte ci loolu la leen Yàlla woo, ngir barkeel leen.

⁸And finally, being all of one mind, having fellow-feeling, loving as brethren, compassionate, courteous,

¹⁰ Ndaxte:«Ku bëgg a am dund gu naatte fekke bés yu rafet,na jàpp làmmiñam ci lu bon,sàmm gémmiñam ci fen.

⁹not giving back evil for evil, or railing for railing, and on the contrary, blessing, having known that to this ye were called, that a blessing ye may inherit;

¹¹ Na dëddu lu bon, tey def lu baax,na xënte jàmm te sax ci.

¹⁰for `he who is willing to love life, and to see good days, let him guard his tongue from evil, and his lips — not to speak guile;

¹² Ndax Boroom baa ngi xool ñi jub bëti yërmande,di ubbi ay noppam ci seeni ñaan,waaye dàq ñiy def lu bon.»

¹¹let him turn aside from evil, and do good, let him seek peace and pursue it;

¹³ Te it kan moo leen di sonal, su ngeen góor-góorloo ci def lu baax?

¹²because the eyes of the Lord [are] upon the righteous, and His ears — to their supplication, and the face of the Lord [is] upon those doing evil;`

¹⁴ Doonte ñu di leen fitnaal sax ci def lu jub, ñu barkeel ngeen. Buleen tiit nag ndax seeni xëbal, mbaa ngeen di ci am njàqare.

¹³and who [is] he who will be doing you evil, if of Him who is good ye may become imitators?

¹⁵ Waaye màggal-leen Kirist Boroom bi ci seeni xol, te jekk ngir tontu ku lay laaj ci seen yaakaar ji ngeen am;

¹⁴but if ye also should suffer because of righteousness, happy [are ye]! and of their fear be not afraid, nor be troubled,

¹⁶ waaye na tont gi lewet te ànd ak wegeel. Àndleen ak xel mu dal; noonu ñi leen di sikkal ndax seen dund gu rafet ci gëm Kirist, dinañu rus ci seeni sos.

¹⁵and the Lord God sanctify in your hearts. And [be] ready always for defence to every one who is asking of you an account concerning the hope that [is] in you, with meekness and fear;

¹⁷ Ñu fitnaal la ndax jëf ju baax, su dee mooy coobareg Yàlla, moo gën ñu fitnaal la ndax jëf ju bon.

¹⁶having a good conscience, that in that in which they speak against you as evil-doers, they may be ashamed who are traducing your good behaviour in Christ;

¹⁸ Ndaxte Kirist ci boppam dee na benn yoon ba fàww, ngir dindi bàkkaar yi, moom mi jub ngir ñi jubadi, ngir yóbbu leen fa Yàlla; dee na ci jëmm, waaye dundaat na ci xel.

¹⁷for [it is] better doing good, if the will of God will it, to suffer, than doing evil;

¹⁹ Ci biir xel moomu la yégaleji ndamam ca ruu ya Yàlla tëj kaso;

¹⁸because also Christ once for sin did suffer — righteous for unrighteous — that he might lead us to God, having been put to death indeed, in the flesh, and having been made alive in the spirit,

²⁰ maanaam ña weddi woon ca jamonoy Nóoyin, fekk Yàlla muñaloon na leen diir bu yàgg, dajeek Nóoyin doon yett gaal ga. Ñu néew, maanaam limub juróom-ñett, dugg nañu ca gaal ga, jaar ca ndox ma, ba mucc.

¹⁹in which also to the spirits in prison having gone he did preach,

²¹ Loolu misaal la tey, ci li ñu nuy sóob ci ndox, te nu mucc; waxuma laabal sobe si taq ci yaram, waaye wuyu Yàlla ak xel mu dal. Li nu may mucc googu, mooy ndekkitel Yeesu Kirist,

²⁰who sometime disbelieved, when once the long-suffering of God did wait, in days of Noah — an ark being preparing — in which few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water;

²² mi yéeg asamaan, toog fa ndeyjooru Yàlla, mu tiim malaaka yi, boroom sañ-sañ yi ak boroom doole yépp.

²¹also to which an antitype doth now save us — baptism, (not a putting away of the filth of flesh, but the question of a good conscience in regard to God,) through the rising again of Jesus Christ,

²²who is at the right hand of God, having gone on to heaven — messengers, and authorities, and powers, having been subjected to him.
