5 Du mba hi be mlaya mba komba bata tee naki itere Irji a ni bi kerekereme.

9 I miri ko mba wo tere ni tei komba ni mi kogeh mba na sunyu ni mbana.
Slaves are to be submissive to their own masters and well-pleasing in everything, not talking back,

11 U imiri Irji ba toh didima wawumba.
For the saving grace of God has appeared to all people,
instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts and to live in a sensible, righteous, and godly manner in the present age, (aiōn g165)
13 Keh ta zere di ta gbey tee lulu ni ze sunro u ye ivere Irji tee bu.
as we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.
14 Yesu a kpa hla tere u bu ni gbu gblu da ikheu ubu wawu. na ki khi ka hu hla terema.
He gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession, zealous for good works.
15 U ka tere ni gbe gble de tshoro ba jaji ndah na kpa u tsirina.
Declare these things; encourage and rebuke with all authority. Let no one despise yoʋ.
