8 Anime, “Nipoo ni wuza ipillizo nan nu pillizo.” Wa pilliko ni barki sa wa gawe utarsa utize tumeme, a gunawa iri anime.”
and, A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence; for they stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.

Beloved, I beseech you as sojourners and pilgrims, to abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
12 Cukuno anu wuza imumu riri anyimo anabu, barki uganiya sa wa gane uira ushi kasi anu wuza imum izenzen, wadi hiri timumu tiriri tishi me kasi uhana uwui u aye Ugomo Asere.

Servants, [be] in subjection to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.
19 Barki anime imumu iri nunzo nini barki inka ubezi iriba uhan ahira Asere inka uye ma tira iriba ina sa uyomo.
For this is acceptable, if for conscience toward God a man endureth griefs, suffering wrongfully.
20 Barki ani me nyani ni ya kem inka ya wuza imumu imadi. Ni azunu yomo ishi ya tira iriba unu yomo me? Barki ani me inka ya wuza katuma ka riri ya sa ni rere ahira ini ya wuza iriba ihuu, agino me imumu ikaba ini ahira Asere
For what glory is it, if, when ye sin, and are buffeted [for it], ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer [for it], ye shall take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.
21 Barki ane ani atita shi, baeki Asere asi nirere barki shi, ma ceki shi imumu iwuza ati buna tumeme.
For hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that ye should follow his steps:
22 Da ma wuna imumu imadini ba, da amu kunna urangaarani ame ba.
who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
23 Adi zogi me mada garza tizogo me ba. Ma si uyomo, sarki ubina ni, ma witi nice nume me ahira anu inko utiza ti ka dure.
who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, threatened not; but committed [himself] to him that judgeth righteously:
24 Me ini cenume me maziki madini maru ma hani asesere utiti, barki kati akem duru anyimo amadini, barki ani me tiwuzi ticumkum ti kadure, ahira tanu tume tini ya huma ni.
who his own self bare our sins in his body upon the tree, that we, having died unto sins, might live unto righteousness; by whose stripes ye were healed.
25 Vat ushi sa ya hunne shi izinu kese kasi itam sa ya hunne me, ana me ya ze ahira unu utar san shi nan unu ahira ibe shi me.
For ye were going astray like sheep; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
