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.

¹Likewise, wives, [be] subject to your own husbands, that, even if any are disobedient to the word, they may be gained without [the] word by the conversation of the wives,

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

²having witnessed your pure conversation [carried out] 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 outward one of tressing of hair, and wearing gold, or putting on apparel;

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 [ornament] of a meek and quiet spirit, which in the sight of God is 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 also the holy women who have hoped in God heretofore adorned 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 obeyed Abraham, calling him lord; whose children ye have become, doing good, and not fearing with any kind of consternation.

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

⁷[Ye] husbands likewise, dwell with [them] according to knowledge, as with a weaker, [even] the female, vessel, giving [them] honour, as also fellow-heirs 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.

⁸Finally, [be] all of one mind, sympathising, full of brotherly love, tender hearted, humble minded;

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

⁹not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing; but on the contrary, blessing [others], because ye have been called to this, that ye should inherit blessing.

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

¹⁰For he that will love life and see good days, let him cause his tongue to cease from evil and his lips that they speak no guile.

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

¹¹And let him avoid 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] on [the] righteous, and his ears towards their supplications; but [the] face of [the] Lord [is] against them that do 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 shall injure you if ye have become imitators of that which [is] good?

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 also ye should suffer for righteousness' sake, blessed [are ye]; but be not afraid of their fear, neither 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.

¹⁵but sanctify [the] Lord the Christ in your hearts, and [be] always prepared to [give] an answer [to] every one that asks you to give an account of the hope that [is] in you, but 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 [as to that] in which they speak against you as evildoers, they may be ashamed who calumniate your good conversation 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, if the will of God should will it, to suffer [as] well-doers than [as] evildoers;

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

¹⁸for Christ indeed has once suffered for sins, [the] just for [the] unjust, that he might bring us to God; being put to death in flesh, but 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 going he preached to the spirits [which are] in prison,

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,

²⁰heretofore disobedient, when the longsuffering of God waited in [the] days of Noah while the ark was preparing, into 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.

²¹which figure also now saves you, [even] baptism, not a putting away of [the] filth of flesh, but [the] demand as before God of a good conscience, by [the] resurrection of Jesus Christ,

²²who is at [the] right hand of God, gone into heaven, angels and authorities and powers being subjected to him.
