Ma asị m unu aṅụla iyi ọ bụla. Ejikwala eluigwe aṅụ iyi nꞌihi na eluigwe bụ ebe ocheeze Chineke dị.

But I tell you not to swear at all. And do not swear by heaven, because heaven is where God's throne is.

Ejikwala ụwa aṅụ iyi nꞌihi na ụwa bụ ebe mgbakwasị ụkwụ ya.

And do not swear by the world because the world is its footstool.

Ejikwala isi gị aṅụ iyi nꞌihi na ị pụghị ime ka otu agịrị isi gị dị ọcha ma ọ bụ dị oji.

And do not swear by your head because you cannot make your hair white or black.

Aṅụla iyi ọ bụla. Kama ka ee gị bụrụ ee gị, ka ee, gị bụrụ ee gị. Ihe ọ bụla gafere nke a sitere nꞌekwensu.

Do not swear at all. Instead let your yes be your, yes, your yes. Anything beyond this comes from the devil.

Nke a mere o ji ṅụọ iyi gwa ada ya okwu sị, “Ana m aṅụ iyi na-asị na m ga-enye gị ihe ọ bụla ị rịọrọ m.”

So he swore to his daughter, "I swear I will give you whatever you ask of me."
