1 Peter 3
1 In the same way, wives, be in subjection to your own husbands, so that, even if any don’t obey the Word, they may be won by the behavior of their wives without a word,
To baktih toengah zunawk, na savanawk khaeah angpaek oh; to tiah ni lok tahngai ai savanawk to, lok hoi thuih kangai ai zunawk ih tuinuen rang hoiah na pazawk o thai ueloe,
2 seeing your pure behavior in fear.
kahoih tuinuen hoi nihcae khingyahaih to na hnu o tih.
3 Let your beauty come not from the outward adorning of braiding your hair, and of wearing gold ornaments or of putting on fine clothing,
Nam thoep o naah doeh tasa bang amthoephaih ah kaom, sam pakhuihaih, sui bungmu abuenhaih, kahoih khukbuennawk hoiah amthoep ai ah;
4 but from the hidden person of the heart, in the incorruptible adornment of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in God’s sight.
Sithaw hmaa ah thuilaek ai atho kaom, kahmawn thai ai palung thung ih kami kranghoihhaih ah kaom, tuinom ohhaih, poekmonghaih hoiah amthoep han oh.
5 For this is how in the past the holy women who hoped in God also adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands.
Hae tiah ni Sithaw tanghaih katawn, canghni ih kaciim nongpatanawk mah doeh amthoep o moe, angmacae ih sava tlim ah angpaek o:
6 So Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose children you now are if you do well and are not put in fear by any terror.
Sarah mah Abraham ih lok tahngaih pongah, angraeng, tiah kawk: kawbaktih sethaih doeh zii ai ah, kahoih hmuen to na sak o nahaeloe, nangcae doeh anih ih canu ah ni na oh o.
7 You husbands, in the same way, live with your wives according to knowledge, giving honor to the woman as to the weaker vessel, as also being joint heirs of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered.
To baktih toengah, Savanawk, lawk na thuih o haih to pakha ving han ai ah, panoek thaihaih hoiah zunawk hoi nawnto om oh, na zunawk loe tahmenhaih hoiah hnuk ih hinghaih nawnto toep kami, thazok kami ah oh o pongah, na zunawk to khingyahaih paek oh.
8 Finally, all of you be like-minded, compassionate, loving as brothers, tenderhearted, courteous,
Hnukkhuem koekah nangcae boih poekhaih palungthin maeto ah amhong oh, maeto hoi maeto tahmenhaih tawn oh, nawkamya baktiah amlung oh, tahmenhaih hoi tuinom to tawn oh:
9 not rendering evil for evil or insult for insult; but instead blessing, knowing that you were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing.
kasae sakhaih pongah kasae hoi pathok o hmah, zoehhaih to zoehhaih hoi pathok o hmah: toe tahamhoihaih paek o lat ah; hae tiah oh han ih ni ang kawk o, tito panoek oh, to tiah nahaeloe tahamhoihaih na toep o tih.
10 For, “He who would love life and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit.
Hinghaih akoep moe, hoihhaih aninawk hnuk koeh kaminawk loe kasaethuihaih thung hoiah angmah ih palai to angvaeng nasoe loe, pahni hoiah zaehaih thui hmah nasoe:
11 Let him turn away from evil and do good. Let him seek peace and pursue it.
sethaih to ayae nasoe loe, kahoih hmuen to sah nasoe; angdaehhaih to pakrong o nasoe loe, patom o nasoe.
12 For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears open to their prayer; but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”
Angraeng ih mik loe katoeng kaminawk nuiah acuk, nihcae lawkthuihaihnawk doeh Anih mah tahngai pae: toe kasae sah kaminawk loe Angraeng mah mikhmai angqoi taak.
13 Now who will harm you if you become imitators of that which is good?
Kahoih hmuen sah kami hnukah na bang o nahaeloe, mi mah maw nganbawh kana na paek o tih?
14 But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you are blessed. “Don’t fear what they fear, neither be troubled.”
Toenghaih pongah patang na khang o nahaeloe, nangcae loe palung anghoe kami ah ni na oh o: nihcae mah pazihhaih to zii o hmah, mawn doeh mawn o hmah;
15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts. Always be ready to give an answer to everyone who asks you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, with humility and fear,
toe Angraeng Sithaw to na palung thung hoi khingyahaih paek oh: palung thungah na tawnh o ih oephaih kawng minawk mah ang dueng o naah, kami boih han poeknaemhaih hoi khingyahaih hoiah pathim pae thai hanah amsak o coek ah.
16 having a good conscience. Thus, while you are spoken against as evildoers, they may be disappointed who curse your good way of life in Christ.
Kri ah tuinuen naemhaih mah nangcae kasae net kaminawk, nangcae kasae thui kaminawk azatsak hanah, kahoih poekhaih to tawn oh.
17 For it is better, if it is God’s will, that you suffer for doing what is right than for doing evil.
Sithaw koehhaih ah om nahaeloe kasae hmuen sak pongah loe, hmuen kahoih sak pongah patangkhang to hoih kue.
18 Because Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring you to God, being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the Spirit,
Katoeng ai kaminawk ih zaehaih pongah, katoeng Kri to vaito duek, aicae Sithaw khaeah caeh haih han ih ni, Anih mah to tiah sak, Anih loe taksa ah duek, toe Muithla mah Anih to pathawk let.
19 in whom he also went and preached to the spirits in prison,
Anih loe thongim krah muithlanawk khaeah caeh moe, lok taphong pae.
20 who before were disobedient when God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ship was being built. In it, few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water.
Noah palong thuk naah, to kaminawk loe Sithaw lok tahngai o ai; toe Sithaw mah nihcae to palungsawkhaih hoiah zing, kami zetta, hinghaih pakhra katawn kami long tazetto khue ni tui kanguem thung hoiah loih o.
21 This is a symbol of baptism, which now saves you—not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God—through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
To tui kanguem loe vaihi aicae pahlonghaih ah kaom tuinuemhaih hnuksakhaih ih ni; tuinuemhaih loe (kamhnong taksa pasaehhaih ih na ai, toe kasae kahoih panoekhaih hoiah Sithaw ih lok pathimhaih ah ni oh: ) Jesu Kri angthawk lethaih ah tuinuemhaih mah ni pahlong to hnuk,
22 who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, angels and authorities and powers being made subject to him.
Anih loe van ah caeh boeh moe, Sithaw bantang bangah a oh; vankaminawk, sakthaihaih hoi thacakhaihnawk loe anih tlim ah ni oh o boih.
