1. Sarah and Esther, Mary, Ruth, and others—

All these were capable women, loyal wives.

Godly devotion was foremost in their lives.

They were faithful women, ones we know by name.

There were others favored by Jehovah;

Nameless in the record, their faith was just the same.

2. Goodness and courage, loyal love and kindness—

Lovable qualities in all humankind,

Virtues these excellent women bring to mind.

They were fine examples we appreciate.

In the same way now our Christian sisters

Show a faithful spirit we all can imitate.

3. Mothers and daughters, sisters, wives, and widows,

Willingly laboring, glad to do your part.

Modest your bearing, submissive is your heart,

Having God’s approval, may you never fear.

Christian sisters, may Jehovah keep you

Firm in your conviction, your prize is drawing near.

1. Sera kevb’Ẹsta, Meri, Rut, Rebeka—

Ikhuo ni ru nagban ẹre na hia khin.

Ma wa rẹn eni ọghe ’so vb’ikhuo na.

Nibun rrọọ ni vbe gha mwọnyinmw’esi,

Sokpan eniọgh’iran ma ladian vbe Baibol.

2. Avb’ikhuo na guan kaẹn na wa rhiẹre ma,

Uyinmw’ahoẹmwọmwa kevbe ’kh’itohan.

Wa ne ’tẹn nikhuo ni rrọọ vb’ẹghẹ na,

Wa keghi rhiẹre ma, egb’uyinmwẹ vberriọ.

3. Wa ne ’tẹn nikhuo, ma wa rhie ’tian n’uwa.

Ma wa bẹgh’iwinna nọ maan n’uwa ru.

Wa keghi vbe muegberriotọ vb’ẹghẹ hia.

Etẹn nikhuo, Jehova gu ’wa rrọọ,

K’ẹghẹ n’ima ye na, ya fiẹdẹdẹmwẹdẹ.
