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,
Yinba bi puoba, yin ya jiindi yibá ki cɔlni yi ciaba; yeni bi jaba siiga, yaaba n ki cɔlni U Tienu maama n lá bi denpuoba yenyienŋamu po, ki mɔ n cɔlni U Tienu maama.
2 seeing your pure behavior in fear.
Ban lá ke yi yenyienu ye u bá, ki ŋani, kaa pia jɔgndi.
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,
Yi ŋamu n da tie yu ke bi niba baa nua kav, nani ki piani ti yudi, ki pili wula biamu leni li laani, ki la ti tiagbengdi,
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.
Ama, lan ya tie ya ŋamu n ye yi pala nni, mi tagma nni ŋamu yu n tie li papienli leni mi yanduanma, n pia ya dunga n yabi U Tienu kani.
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.
Li tie yeni, yogu bá ke bi puoŋanba bo jiini bi bá ki cɔlni bi ciaba, ki daani U Tienu nni,
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.
Li tie nani Sara n bo jiini o bá ki cɔlni Abrahami, ki bo yii o oyonbdaano yeni. Li ñani o kani ke yi tua bi jifanba, ki tuuni a tuonŋana, ki jeje bá kan fidi ki ŋmadi yi yama.
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.
Bi puodanba, ya ye leni yi denpuoba mi yuafuoma nni, ki ya bani ke bi tie yaaba ki pia paalu ki pundi yi, ya cɔlni ba kelima ban leni yinba n ba taani ki baa U Tienu kani ŋalbalgo leni li miali. Yin ya fo yeni, ke libá n da tua bonpankaala yi jaandi po.
8 Finally, all of you be like-minded, compassionate, loving as brothers, tenderhearted, courteous,
N maajuodma tie ne; yi vkuli n ya pia maalyenma leni yi lieba, ki ya gbia yi lieba ninñima, ki gbie leni mi buama yi ninjaba po, ki gɔ ya pia mi ninñingbadmav, ki ya jiindi yibá yi lieba kani.
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.
Da taadi mani ti biadi ki pa ti biadi, lan yaa ka ki taa ti sugdi ki pa ti sugdi; ama yin ya gaali yi lieba kelima lan ya po i ke o yini yi ke yin baa o kani li seli.
10 For, “He who would love life and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit.
Yua bua wan ya pia li miali, ke saala po lan ya ŋani o po, wan cuo o ñɔbu yeni o biadima, k go ŋa u faagu.
11 Let him turn away from evil and do good. Let him seek peace and pursue it.
Wan ŋa u bonbiigu tiema ki yaa tie yaali ŋani, ki ŋɔdi mi yanduanma.
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.”
U Tienu nubina ma o numɔma po k o gɔ cengi bi jaandi. Ama u Tienu nungi mɔni yaaba tiendi ti biidi po.
13 Now who will harm you if you become imitators of that which is good?
ŋma bo fidi ki biidi ŋa ya yogunu k a tie yaali ŋani.
14 But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you are blessed. “Don’t fear what they fear, neither be troubled.”
Ama li ya sua k a laadi fala ki dugni ŋan ŋua i mɔmɔani ya po mi yediŋanma tie a yaali. Yin daa jie ki gɔ daa ŋmadi i yama.
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,
Yeni lan kuli doni mani jesu yeli i pal nni. ki ŋanbi bobni ki ya guu yaaba ba buali yi yaala ya po cedi k i dugi u Tienu po. Ama yin yi tieni li kuli ne suoo yeni li cɔlini.
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.
Yi mɔndi ki tɔgu n ya ŋani, ki yabi sugdi jesu ŋɔdima po, bii g maadi ti mabiidi ti po, ban fiagi.
17 For it is better, if it is God’s will, that you suffer for doing what is right than for doing evil.
A li ya tie u Tienu buama po ti la fala mi ŋanma tiema po latu yeni ti la fala ti biidi tiema po.
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,
Kristi mo la fala yema t biidi po, wan yua bo tiegi, o la fala tim yaaba bo tie ti biididanba po. Ki wan fidi ki nagini ti u Tienu kani. Bi bo kpa'o yeni o gbanandi, ama k o naano yiedi.
19 in whom he also went and preached to the spirits in prison,
O tagnmi bo gedi u tinkpiigu nni ki muadu u Tienu laabaali
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.
Ban yaaba bo ye li mabili nni ki bo k cɔlini ya yogu k u Tienu bo puni li juuli ki guu Noe yognu yeni ya yognu k o bo kpaagi gu ñinbiaciangu yaali k u Tienu bo fie nibyiani mieli mi ñinma nni.
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,
Li tie mi ñinwulma bonnannanli yua gaa ti dinne ki laa tie nani o ŋuudi ti jɔgndi ti gbanu po ka. Ama ya bontitiedi n ŋani u Tienu nungi nni Jesu Kristi yiedima nni.
22 who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, angels and authorities and powers being made subject to him.
Yua ye u Tienu jienu po wan doni poli naan kani ki menekinba, u paaciandanba, yenibi yiko danba cɔlin'o.
