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,
Hessadakka, machcheto, hintte azinatappe Xoossaa qaalas kiitettonayssati de7ikkoka aykkoka odettonashin, hintte yashshatethaanne hintte geeshsha de7uwa be7idi ammanana mela enttaw haarettite.
2 seeing your pure behavior in fear.
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,
Hinttee, hintte huu7e pixoninne worqqa aason woykko lo77o ma7on hintte bolla asatethaa loyson gidoppo.
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.
Shin hintte wozanaa giddon de7iya yegelsatethay Xoossaa sinthan hinttew daro al77o gididi dhayonna, ashkkenne woppu gida ayyaana gido.
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.
Xoossay immana gidayssa ammanida geeshsha maccasati bini wode bantta azinatas haarettidi, banttana hessada daro loythidosona.
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.
Hessada Saara Abrahaame, “Ta godaw” yaagada xeegashe, iyaw kiitettasu; hintteka aykkoka yayyonna lo77obaa oothiko I nayta.
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.
Azinatoo, hintte machcheti hinttefe daaburanchcho medheta gideyssa eridi, enttana bonchchite; hintte woosa dhubbonna mela Xoossay immida de7uwa entti hinttera issife laattiya gisho entta bonchchite.
8 Finally, all of you be like-minded, compassionate, loving as brothers, tenderhearted, courteous,
Wurssethan, ubbay issi qofan de7ite. Issoy issuwas qadhettishe, ishatada siiqetite; qassi issoy issuwas keeheyssatanne hintte huu7iya kawushsheyssata gidite.
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.
Iita gishos iita woykko cashshaa gisho cayidi zaaroppite; hessa aggidi, Xoossay hinttew anjjuwaa immanaw hinttena xeegida gisho anjjite.
10 For, “He who would love life and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit.
Ays giikko, Geeshsha Maxaafay, “De7o doseynne lo77o wode be7anaw koyey oona gidikkoka ba inxarssan iitabaanne worddo odetteyssa aggo.
11 Let him turn away from evil and do good. Let him seek peace and pursue it.
Iitabaa ootheyssa aggidi lo77obaa ootho; sarotethaakka keehi koyonne kaallo.
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.”
Godaa ayfey xillotakko xeellees; qassi I ubba wode entta woosaa haayzees. Shin Goday iitabaa ootheyssata ba hanqo som77uwan xeellees” yaagees.
13 Now who will harm you if you become imitators of that which is good?
Hintte lo77obaa oothanaw amottikko hinttena qohanay oonee?
14 But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you are blessed. “Don’t fear what they fear, neither be troubled.”
Hari attoshin, xillotetha gisho hintte waayettiko anjjettidayssata. Asas yayyofitenne hirggofite.
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,
Kiristtoosa hintte wozanan bonchchitenne godayite. Xoossay hinttew immida ufayssaas gaaso oychchiya oodeskka zaaro immanaw ubba wode giigi uttite, shin hessa ashkketethaninne yashshatethan oothite.
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.
Qassi Kiristtoosan hintte de7iya lo77o de7uwa iitabaa oothidabaada, hinttena cayaa asay zigiryaaban yeellatana mela hintte kahay geeshshi gido.
17 For it is better, if it is God’s will, that you suffer for doing what is right than for doing evil.
Xoossay gidabaa gidikko iitabaa oothida gisho waaye ekkeyssafe lo77obaa oothida gisho waaye ekkeyssi lo77o.
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,
Kiristtoosi nuna Xoossaakko shiishanaw baw xillo gididi de7ishe, nagaranchchota gisho issi toho nagara ubbaas hayqqis; I ba asatethan hayqqis, shin ayyaanan paxis.
19 in whom he also went and preached to the spirits in prison,
Qassi he ayyaanan I bidi qashon de7iya shemppotas qaala odis.
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.
Nohey markkabiya keexiya wode he shemppoti Xoossaas kiitettonna ixxidosona, shin Xoossay enttana dandda7ii gam77is. Hosppun asa xalaali markkabiyan gelidi, bashsha haathaafe attidosona.
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,
He bashsha haathay ha77i hinttena ashshiya xinqqate leemiso gidis. Ha xinqqatey bolla qita meecco gidonnashin, lo77o kaha Xoossaafe ekkanaw iya woossiya oge gididi, Kiristtoosa dendduwa baggara hinttena ashshees.
22 who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, angels and authorities and powers being made subject to him.
I salo bidi Xoossaa ushachchan uttidi, kiitanchchota, maata aawatanne wolqqaamata haarees.
