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,
Mweyi zira, inwe muli vafumahali muli tule kunsi yiva mwihyenwanu. Mupange ichi iri kuli, nanga vamwi vakwame kava zuwisisi kuli zwi, cho kuya che mikwa ya vanakazi vavo, mikwa i wola kuva koma nikusena linzwi.
2 seeing your pure behavior in fear.
Chiva vavoni mikwa yenu i zwirire havusu che kute.
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,
Musiye i kupangiwe insiñi cho mukwa uvoneka kuvena hanze: insuki zi hosetwe, maseka e gaunda, kamba zizwato zo mujoko.
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.
Kono, musiye zipangiwe cho muntu o mukati we nkulo, mi vulontu vusa mani bwina hande ni kuntontola muluhuho, nili chilotu havusu bwe Ireza.
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.
Chavanakazi va jolola vavali susuwezi mowu mukwa. Vena i sepo mwe Ireza mi vavali tulite kwi konde liva muhyabwavo.
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.
Mweyi zira Sara avali kuzuwa Aburahama ni kumusupa simwine wakwe. Inwe hanu muvana vakwe haiva ni mupanga zina hande ni kusa tiya i nkozi.
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.
Cho mukwa u swana, inwe vashetu muswanera kuhala ni vafumahali venu cho kuya che kutwisiso, sina che chiviko chi fokola, mwanakazi. Muswanera kuvaha i kute sina vamwi vayoli ve mpo zo vuhalo. Mupange ichi iri kuli itapero zenu kanji zikaninwi.
8 Finally, all of you be like-minded, compassionate, loving as brothers, tenderhearted, courteous,
Cha ma manimani, mwense, muswane mumi hupulo, chishemo, kulisaka sina mizwale, inkulo zina hande ni kuli kokoveza.
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.
Kanji muvozekezi vuvi cho vuvi kapa itapa che tapa. Cho kusa yenderera, muzwire havusu ku fuyola, vakeñi chezi muva supwa, iri kuti muyole imbuyoti.
10 For, “He who would love life and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit.
“I ye yosaka vuhalo ni kuvona mazuva malotu u siyisa lulimi lwakwe ku vuvi ni milomo yakwe kuku wamba mapa.
11 Let him turn away from evil and do good. Let him seek peace and pursue it.
Mumu siye a sanduke kuzintu zivi ni kupanga zilotu. Mumusiye a sake inkozo ni kuzwira muili.
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.”
Menso a Simwine avona va shiyamite, mi matwi akwe a zuwa ziva kumbira. Kono chifateho cha Simwine chi vengere avo va panga vuvi.”
13 Now who will harm you if you become imitators of that which is good?
Jeni uzo yasa mi horofaze haiva ni mulakamina zina zilotu?
14 But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you are blessed. “Don’t fear what they fear, neither be troubled.”
Kono haiva ni munyanda che vaka lyo kuluka, mufuya ulitwe. Kanji mutiyi ziva tiya. Kanji mu firikani.
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,
Kono, muvikire ha mbali Simwine Keresite mwi nkulo zenu sina yo jolola. Honse mulitukiseze kwi tava vonse vami vuza chinzi hamwina i sepo mwa Ireza. Mupange ichi cha mañenke ni kute.
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.
Muve ni muhupulo mulotu iri kuli vantu va tukola vuhalo bwenu vulotu mwa Keresite vawole kuswava kakuli va wamba cho kumilwisa uvu mane muva pangi vo vuvi.
17 For it is better, if it is God’s will, that you suffer for doing what is right than for doing evil.
Kwina hande, haiva Ireza ulakamina, kuti munyanda cho kupanga vulotu kuhita kupanga vuvi.
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,
Keresite naye ava nyandi hamwina che zivi. Iye yo lukite ava nyandiri iswe, vasina vavali kulukite, iri kuli awole ku tuleta kwe Ireza. Ava vikiwa kwifu mwi nyama, kono ava pangiwa yo hala cho Luhuho.
19 in whom he also went and preached to the spirits in prison,
Cho Luhuho, ava yendi ni kukakutaza kwi huho yina hanu mwi torongo.
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.
Vavali kusa zuwa aho kulindira kwe Ireza kuvali kulindire muma zuva a Nuwe, muma zuva o kuzaka i aleka, mi Ireza a va hazi vantu vache vulyo- ihuho ye yanza ni to tatwe- cha menzi.
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,
Ili nji swayo lye nkorovezo iyo imihaza hanu- isiñi uvu ku shanjiwa kwe ikwe lye miviri, kono sina kovekisa kwe nkulo indontu kwe Ireza- chokuya kuvuka kwa Jesu Keresite kuvafu.
22 who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, angels and authorities and powers being made subject to him.
Keresite wina kwi yanza lye chilyo lye Ireza. Ava yendi kwi wulu. Mañiroyi, mivuso, ne ziho ziswanera kulivika kunsi yakwe.
