¹ Kon nag ndegam dekkeendoo ngeen ak Kirist, wutleen yëf, ya nekk ca kaw, fa Kirist toog ca ndeyjooru Yàlla.

¹If, then, ye were raised with the Christ, the things above seek ye, where the Christ is, on the right hand of God seated,

² Fonkleen yëf ya ca kaw, te ngeen bañ a faale yi ci suuf,

²the things above mind ye, not the things upon the earth,

³ ndaxte dee ngeen, te seen dund boole nañu ko ak Kirist, denc ca Yàlla.

³for ye did die, and your life hath been hid with the Christ in God;

⁴ Te bés bu Kirist miy seen dund feeñee, yéen itam dingeen feeñ ak moom ci biir ndam.

⁴when the Christ — our life — may be manifested, then also we with him shall be manifested in glory.

⁵ Kon nag li nekk ci yéen te bokk ci mbiri àddina, jébbal-leen ko dee, yu deme ni ndoxaanu yàqute, sobe, xemmem, bëgg-bëgg yu bon, ak bëgge, maanaam bokkaale Yàlla.

⁵Put to death, then, your members that [are] upon the earth — whoredom, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and the covetousness, which is idolatry —

⁶ Yooyooy xëcc merum Yàlla.

⁶because of which things cometh the anger of God upon the sons of the disobedience,

⁷ Yéen itam noonu ngeen daan doxale bu jëkk, ba ngeen daan dunde noonu.

⁷in which also ye — ye did walk once, when ye lived in them;

⁸ Waaye léegi bàyyileen yii yépp: mer, xadar, kiñaan ak di génne ci seen gémmiñ sos ak wax ju ñaaw.

⁸but now put off, even ye, the whole — anger, wrath, malice, evil-speaking, filthy talking — out of your mouth.

⁹ Bàyyileen di fen seeni moroom, ndaxte summi ngeen jikko ju bon, ji ngeen judduwaale, moom ak ay jëfam;

⁹Lie not one to another, having put off the old man with his practices,

¹⁰ te sol ngeen dund gu bees, gi Yàlla sàkk te di ko yeesal ba mu mel ni moom, ngir ngeen man koo xam bu wér.

¹⁰and having put on the new, which is renewed in regard to knowledge, after the image of Him who did create him;

¹¹ Ci dund gu bees googu, amul Yawut ak ku dul Yawut, ku xaraf walla ku xaraful, jaam walla gor, ku jàngul ni Baarbaar yi, ak ku yeewuwul ni waa Sit, waaye Kirist ay lépp te dëkk ci ñépp.

¹¹where there is not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, foreigner, Scythian, servant, freeman — but the all and in all — Christ.

¹² Kon nag ndegam Yàlla tànn na leen, sellal leen, sopp leen, solooleen boog yërmande, laabiir, woyof, lewet ak muñ.

¹²Put on, therefore, as choice ones of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humble-mindedness, meekness, long-suffering,

¹³ Muñalanteleen, di baalante, su amee kuy tawat moroomam. Baalanteleen, ni leen Boroom bi baale.

¹³forbearing one another, and forgiving each other, if any one with any one may have a quarrel, as also the Christ did forgive you — so also ye;

¹⁴ Ci kaw loolu lépp amleen mbëggeel, giy jókkaale lépp, ba mu mat.

¹⁴and above all these things, [have] love, which is a bond of the perfection,

¹⁵ Na jàmm ji Kirist di joxe noot seeni xol, ndaxte Yàlla woo na leen ci loolu, mel ni ay cér yu bokk benn yaram; te gërëmleen Yàlla.

¹⁵and let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also ye were called in one body, and become thankful.

¹⁶ Na kàddug Kirist dëkk ci yéen, bay baawaan, ngeen di jàngalante ak a artoonte ci seen biir ak xel mu mat sëkk, di woy ak a gërëm Yàlla ak seen xol bépp, ay taalifi Sabóor, ay kañ Yàlla ak ay cant yu tukkee ci Xelum Yàlla.

¹⁶Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing each other, in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, in grace singing in your hearts to the Lord;

¹⁷ Te lu ngeen man a def, muy ci wax mbaa ci jëf, wéerleen ko ci turu Boroom bi Yeesu, jaare ci moom gërëm Yàlla Baay bi.

¹⁷and all, whatever ye may do in word or in work, [do] all things in the name of the Lord Jesus — giving thanks to the God and Father, through him.

¹⁸ Jigéen ñi, na ku nekk nangul jëkkëram, ndaxte looloo jekk ci ñi bokk ci Boroom bi.

¹⁸The wives! be subject to your own husbands, as is fit in the Lord;

¹⁹ Góor ñi, na ku nekk bëgg jabaram te muñal ko.

¹⁹the husbands! love your wives, and be not bitter with them;

²⁰ Xale yi, déggal-leen seeni waajur ci lépp, ndaxte looloo rafet ci ñi bokk ci Boroom bi.

²⁰the children! obey the parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing to the Lord;

²¹ Baay yi, buleen bundaxataal seeni doom, ngir bañ a jeexal seen xol.

²¹the fathers! vex not your children, lest they be discouraged.

²² Jaam yi, nangul-leen ci lépp seen sang, yi ci àddina. Buleen ko def rekk ci seen kanam, di sàkku ngërëm, waaye na nekk lu dëggu ci yéen, ndax seen ragal Boroom bi.

²²The servants! obey in all things those who are masters according to the flesh, not in eye-service as men-pleasers, but in simplicity of heart, fearing God;

²³ Lu ngeen man a def, na ci seen xol tàlli; ngeen def ko ngir Boroom bi, te du ngir nit,

²³and all, whatever ye may do — out of soul work — as to the Lord, and not to men,

²⁴ xam ne Boroom bi dina fey seeni jëf, mu di cér bi mu leen dencal. Kirist mooy Boroom, bi ngeen di liggéeyal.

²⁴having known that from the Lord ye shall receive the recompense of the inheritance — for the Lord Christ ye serve;

²⁵ Waaye ku def lu bon, Boroom bi dina la delloo sa jëf, te du gënale.

²⁵and he who is doing unrighteously shall receive what he did unrighteously, and there is no acceptance of persons.
