| Vers | English: King James Version | Wolof NT |
| 1 | Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives; | 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. |
| 2 | While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear. | |
| 3 | Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; | Bu seen taar aju ci col, maanaam ay létt, wurus mbaa yére yu rafet, |
| 4 | But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. | waaye nay taar bu sax bu nekk ci biir, di xol bu nooy te dal, ndax loolu lu takku la fa Yàlla. |
| 5 | For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands: | Ndaxte jigéeni démb yu sell, ya gëmoon Yàlla, loolu moo doon seen taar; nanguloon nañu seen jëkkër, |
| 6 | Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement. | 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. |
| 7 | Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered. | 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 |
| 8 | Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: | Kon nag bokkleen xalaat, bokkleen i tiis, bëgganteleen, yërëmante te woyof. |
| 9 | Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing. | 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. |
| 10 | For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: | Ndaxte:«Ku bëgg a am dund gu naatte fekke bés yu rafet,na jàpp làmmiñam ci lu bon,sàmm gémmiñam ci fen. |
| 11 | Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it. | Na dëddu lu bon, tey def lu baax,na xënte jàmm te sax ci. |
| 12 | For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil. | Ndax Boroom baa ngi xool ñi jub bëti yërmande,di ubbi ay noppam ci seeni ñaan,waaye dàq ñiy def lu bon.» |
| 13 | And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good? | Te it kan moo leen di sonal, su ngeen góor-góorloo ci def lu baax? |
| 14 | But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled; | 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. |
| 15 | But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: | Waaye màggal-leen Kirist Boroom bi ci seeni xol, te jekk ngir tontu ku lay laaj ci seen yaakaar ji ngeen am; |
| 16 | Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ. | 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. |
| 17 | For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing. | Ñu fitnaal la ndax jëf ju baax, su dee mooy coobareg Yàlla, moo gën ñu fitnaal la ndax jëf ju bon. |
| 18 | For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: | 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. |
| 19 | By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; | Ci biir xel moomu la yégaleji ndamam ca ruu ya Yàlla tëj kaso; |
| 20 | Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. | 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. |
| 21 | The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ: | 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, |
| 22 | Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him. | mi yéeg asamaan, toog fa ndeyjooru Yàlla, mu tiim malaaka yi, boroom sañ-sañ yi ak boroom doole yépp. |
