1 Peter 3
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;
Namwenga wadala, mlituli pasi pa uwezu wa wapalu wenu, su handa kwana wapalu woseri yawajimira ndiri shisoweru sha Mlungu, wapati kujimira kwa kuguwona mgenderanu gwenu. Hayiweri ndiri kwa mwenga mpaka kutakula shisoweru,
2 While they behold your chaste conversation [coupled] with fear.
toziya hawawoni ntambu mgenderanu gwenu yaguwera guherepa na gwa ligoya.
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;
Kuliheripiziya kwa mwenga namtumbira vitwatira vya kunja, gambira ntambu zya kudukusa viri zya maringisu nentu na kuvala vintu vya zahabu na nguwu zya beyi nkulu.
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.
Su uherepa wenu ufiruwa kulawirana na ntambu ya mngati mwa untu wa nakaka, uherepa yawunyala ndiri wa uheri na unyamaliru wa rohu, weni ndo wa mana nentu palongolu pa Mlungu.
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:
Hangu ndo ntambu yawaliherepiziyiti pamakashu wadala wananagala yawamguwiriti na kumtumbira Mlungu kwa kulitula pasi pa wapalu wawu,
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.
gambira Sara ntambu yakalituliti pasi pa Aburahamu na kumshema yomberi mtuwa gwakuwi. Mwenga muwera vinu wahinga wakuwi handa pamutenda gaherepa pota kutiliziwa shintu shoseri.
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.
Ntambu iraa ayi mwenga wapalu, mulikali na wadala wenu kwa mahala, muwapanani ligoya pamuvimana kuwera womberi wawera legilegi na ntambu yawawera wahala pamuhera na mwenga manemu ga ukomu, mtendi hangu su kwahera shintu hashileweleri maluwa genu kwa Mlungu.
8 Finally, [be ye] all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, [be] pitiful, [be] courteous:
Upeleru, mwenga mwawoseri mfiruwa kuwera na moyu gumu na pamuliwonera lusungu maweni mwenga na muweri wapoli na wananaga.
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.
Namuwawuzilira wantu vidoda kwa vidoda, ama mayigilangu kwa mayigilangu kumbiti muwatekeleri, toziya mwenga mshemitwi na Mlungu mpati kugahala matekeleru.
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:
Malembu Mananagala galonga, “Muntu yakafiriti kuganemelera makaliru, na kugawona mashaka gaherepa, kalileweleri nakatakula makondola na kushapira kulonga upayira.
11 Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.
Kaleki kutenda ukondola na katendi gaherepa, kayisakuli ponga na kuyikolera weri.
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.
Toziya masu ga Mtuwa gawalola walii yawawera waheri na kugapikanira maluwa gawu, Kumbiti kawatulira shisogu wantu yawatenda makondola.”
13 And who [is] he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?
Ndo gaa hakawatenduwi mwenga handa pamuwera wagangamala mukutenda gaherepa?
14 But and if ye suffer for righteousness’ sake, happy [are ye]: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;
Kumbiti ata pamfiruwa kupata ntabiku toziya ya kutenda yagamfiriziya Mlungu, su mtekelerwa! Namtira shilii shawatira womberi, namutulwa mukushashatika.
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:
Kumbiti mumkwisi Kristu kuwera Mtuwa mumyoyu mwenu. Muweri kala kumwankula muntu yoseri yakawakosiya litumbiru lyamuwera nali.
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.
Su mtendi hangu kwa lyoga na ligoya, kumbiti muweri na nfiru zyazitulanguziya mwahera likosa, su woseri pawawahigilanga kulawirana na mgenderanu guherepa yamuwera nagu mu Kristu, womberi hawasoniziwi kwa shilii shawawayowelera.
17 For [it is] better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.
Toziya iherepa kutabika kwa kutenda maheri, Mlungu pakafira, kuliku kutabika kwa kutenda makondola.
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:
Su Kristu viraa katabisiyitwi na kuhowa kwa mala yimu hera toziya ya vidoda, yomberi yakaweriti muheri katabisiyitwi na kuhowa toziya ya wantu wakondola, su kawalanguziyi mwenga njira ya kumgendera Mlungu. Yomberi kalagitwi shinshimba kumbiti katenditwi mkomu murohu,
19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;
na kwa rohu vulaa yomberi kagenditi kuzibwelera rohu zilii zyaziweriti mushibetubetu
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.
yawalemiti kujimila pamakashu Mlungu pakawahepeleriti mumashaka ga Nuhu shipindi Safina payiweriti yankunyawiwa. Musafina amu, wantu watangala ndiri, wantu wanani hera pa wantu woseri ndo walopoziwitwi pamashi,
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:
na mashi geni gaweriti mfanu gwa ubatizu yawuwalopoziyiti mwenga vinu vulaa. Ubatizu ndo shisoweru ndiri shakuwusiya udoda munshimba kumbiti ndo lagilu lya nfiru iherepa kwa Mlungu. Liwalopoziyi mwenga kwa uzyukusiwu wa Yesu Kristu,
22 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.
yomberi yakagenditi kumpindi na vinu kalikala uwega wa kumliwu wa Mlungu, kankuwakolamlima wantumintumi wa kumpindi wa Mlungu woseri na ukulu na yawawera na makakala.
