1 Peter 3
1 Likewise let the wiues bee subiect to their husbands, that euen they which obey not the worde, may without the worde be wonne by the conuersation of the wiues,
Muleyi nzila, inywebo nobamakaintu amulibombye kubalumi benu. Amuchite obu nikuba kuli bala balumi batateleli kujwi, kuchitila kuti basanduke babule zyakwamba, kwinda mumichito yabamakaintu babo,
2 While they beholde your pure conuersation, which is with feare.
banoli baba bakamboni kuchilemeko chenu, enjendelo yenu mbotu.
3 Whose apparelling, let it not be that outwarde, with broyded heare, and golde put about, or in putting on of apparell:
Echi ngachichitwe pepe akulibotya-botya kwaanze mbuli kulilungitizya masusu, kuzwata ngolida atumwi tukumba, nikuba kulisamika mpasya zityola myoyo yabamwi.
4 But let it bee the hidde man of the heart, which consisteth in the incorruption of a meeke and quiet spirite, which is before God a thing much set by.
Pesi, echi ngachichitwe amuntu wamukati wamumoyo, abubotu butagoli butontolela amuuya wachumunizi, kachili nchechibotu kunembo lya-Leza.
5 For euen after this maner in time past did the holy women, which trusted in God, tire them selues, and were subiect to their husbands.
Nkambo obu mbombubo banakazi basalali bechiindi bakali kulangila Leza mbuba kalisamika, kwinda mukulibombya kubalumi babo.
6 As Sara obeyed Abraham, and called him Sir: whose daughters ye are, whiles yee doe well, not being afraide of any terrour.
Enzila njiyeeyi Sala wakalibombya kuli Abbulahamu alubo wakali kumwita kuti mba Simwami. Lino nywebo mwaba bana bakwe kapati na mwachita zibotu alubo na kamutayowi mapenzi.
7 Likewise ye husbands, dwel with them as men of knowledge, giuing honour vnto the woman, as vnto the weaker vessell, euen as they which are heires together of the grace of life, that your prayers be not interrupted.
Kakukozyania, anywebo nobalumi mulelede kupona kabotu abamakaintu benu mbuli mbomuzi kuti mwanakazi, ulimbuli chilongo chitasimide. Mulelede kubapa bulemo mbuli basikulyanyokwe lukono kubululami bwamuluzyalo. Amuchite obo kuti inkombyo zyenu zitambulike.
8 Finally, be ye all of one minde: one suffer with another: loue as brethren: bee pitifull: bee courteous,
Kumamanino, monseeni, amube amuzeezo ukozyenie, mube akwetelelana, kuyandana mbuli babunyina, amoyo mutete, akulibombya.
9 Not rendring euil for euill, neither rebuke for rebuke: but contrarywise blesse, knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should be heires of blessing.
Mutabwedezyi chitaluleme kuchibinyina nikuba kubwedezya chisapi kuchisapi. Anukuti amubwedezye kulongezya, nkambo ezi nzimwakaitilwa, kuti mukakonzye kuyokona zilongezyo.
10 For if any man long after life, and to see good dayes, let him refraine his tongue from euill, and his lippes that they speake no guile.
“Oyo uyanda kubona buumi bubotu akubona mazuba mabotu uyelede kuti wakasya lulimi amulomo wakwe kukwambula chalweeno.
11 Let him eschew euil, and do good: let him seeke peace, and follow after it.
Akube kuti alilesye kububi akunochita zibotu kupela. Ayandule lumuuno akulutobela.
12 For the eyes of the Lord are ouer the righteous, and his eares are open vnto their prayers: and the face of the Lord is against them that do euil.
Nkambo meso a Mwami alabona baluleme, alubo matwi akwe alatelela kunkombyo zyabaluleme. Pesi busyu bwa Mwami bulabukali kulibabo bachita zibi.”
13 And who is it that will harme you, if ye follow that which is good?
Kabi ngwani oyo unga ulamubisizya na mwasungwala kukuchita zibotu?
14 Notwithstanding blessed are ye, if ye suffer for righteousnes sake. Yea, feare not their feare, neither be troubled.
Pele na mwachiswa nkambo kabululami, mulilongezezegwe. Mutayowi ezyo nzibayowa. Mutakalikatazyi.
15 But sanctifie the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready alwayes to giue an answere to euery man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you, with meekenesse and reuerence,
Pesi, ngamulemeke Mwami Kkilisito kuti musalali mumyoyo yenu. Mukkale kamuli bambilide kuti mukapandulwide boonse bamubuzya makani alusyomo ndomulalo -
16 Hauing a good coscience, that whe they speake euill of you as of euill doers, they may be ashamed, which slander your good conuersation in Christ.
Alubo, amukulibombya amukulemeka. Amube amuzezo mubotu kuchitila kuti abo bamutukilila buumi bubotu bwamuli Kkilisito bakawuse insoni nkambo banoli bakali kumwambula anga ndinywe basizibi.
17 For it is better (if the will of God be so) that ye suffer for well doing, then for euil doing.
Nchibotu loko, kuti kakuli nkuyanda kwa Leza, kuti mukachiswe akambo kakuchita zibotu kwinda kunochita zibi.
18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sinnes, the iust for the vniust, that he might bring vs to God, and was put to death concerning the flesh, but was quickened by the spirit.
Alakwe Kkilisito wakachiswa lomwe kachisilwa zibi. Oyo wakaluleme wakatuchisilwa nitwakataluleme pe, kuchitila kuti atuswenzye kuli Leza. Wakatufwida kunyama, pesi wakabusigwa a-Muuya.
19 By the which hee also went, and preached vnto the spirits that are in prison.
Kwinda ku Muuya, wakinka akuyokambawuka kumyuuya eyo ili muntolongo kwalino.
20 Which were in time passed disobedient, when once the long suffering of God abode in the dayes of Noe, while the Arke was preparing, wherein fewe, that is, eight soules were saued in the water.
Eyo yakatatelela pe kuchindi nchakachili kukazika moyo wakwe Leza mumazuba aa-Nowa, mumazuba akuyakwa kwabwato, mpawo Leza wakavuna bantu bache buyo - myuuya musanu amwitaatu - kwinda mumanzi.
21 Whereof the baptisme that nowe is, answering that figure, (which is not a putting away of the filth of the flesh, but a confident demaunding which a good conscience maketh to God) saueth vs also by the resurrection of Iesus Christ,
Echi nchitondezyo chamubbabbatizyo oyo umuvuna lino - takwensi kwamba kuti mbuli mbotusamba tombe amubili pe, pesi nkokuti mulayandula manjezezya mabotu mumeso a Leza - kwinda mububuke bwa Jesu Kkilisito.
22 Which is at the right hand of God, gone into heauen, to whom the Angels, and Powers, and might are subiect.
Kkilisito ulikujanza lyalulyo lwa Leza. Wakaya kujulu. Bangelo, bendelezi, abasimanguzu boonse balelede kulibombya kuli nguwe.
A Dove is Sent Forth from the Ark
