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,
Ary toy izany koa, ianareo vehivavy, maneke ny vadinareo, mba ho voataonan’ ny fitondran-tenan’ ny vavy izy, na dia tsy amin’ ny teny aza (raha tàhiny misy tsy manaiky ny teny),
2 seeing your pure behavior in fear.
rehefa hitany ny fahadiovan’ ny fitondran-tenanareo amin’ ny fahatahorana.
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,
Ary aoka ny firavahanareo tsy ho zavatra eny ivelany, toy ny firandranam-bolo sy ny firava-bolamena na ny fiakanjoana;
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.
fa aoka ho toetra miafina ao am-po, izay tsy mety ho lò, dia ny fanahy malemy sady miadana, izay soa indrindra eo imason’ Andriamanitra.
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.
Fa tahaka izany no niravahan’ ny vehivavy masìna fahiny, izay nanantena an’ Andriamanitra sady nanaiky ny vadiny;
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.
dia tahaka an’ i Saraha, izay nanaiky an’ i Abrahama ka nanao azy hoe “tompoko”; dia zanany ianareo, raha mba manao soa ka tsy matahotra izay fampitahorana na inona na inona.
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.
Ary toy izany koa, ianareo lehilahy, miaraha mitoetra aminy araka ny marina, manaja ny vavy, tahaka ny mety hatao amin’ ny fanaka malemilemy kokoa sady mpiara-mandova ny fahasoavan’ ny fiainana, ― mba tsy ho voasakana ny fivavahanareo.
8 Finally, all of you be like-minded, compassionate, loving as brothers, tenderhearted, courteous,
Farany, miraisa saina ianareo rehetra, ka miaraha ory, mifankatiava tahaka ny mpirahalahy, mifamindrà fo, manetre tena,
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.
tsy mamaly ratsy ny ratsy, na fanaratsiana ny fanaratsiana; fa aoka hisaotra kosa, satria ho amin’ izany no niantsoana anareo mba handova fitahiana.
10 For, “He who would love life and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit.
“Fa na iza na iza maniry fiainana sy ta-hahita andro soa, Aoka izy hiaro ny lelany amin’ ny ratsy Ary ny molony mba tsy hiteny fitaka;
11 Let him turn away from evil and do good. Let him seek peace and pursue it.
Ary aoka izy hiala amin’ ny ratsy ka hanao soa; Aoka izy hitady fihavanana sy hanaraka azy.
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.”
Fa ny mason’ ny Tompo dia mitsinjo ny marina, Ary ny sofiny mihaino ny fitarainany, Fa ny tavan’ ny Tompo dia tezitra amin’ ny mpanao ratsy”.
13 Now who will harm you if you become imitators of that which is good?
Ary iza no hanisy ratsy anareo, raha mazoto amin’ izay tsara ianareo?
14 But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you are blessed. “Don’t fear what they fear, neither be troubled.”
Fa raha tàhiny mitondra fahoriana noho ny fahamarinana ianareo, dia sambatra; ary aza matahotra tahaka azy, ary aza mangorohoro ianareo;
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,
fa manamasìna an i’ Kristy ho Tompo ao am-ponareo; ary aoka ho vonona mandrakariva ianareo hamaly izay manontany anareo ny amin’ ny anton’ ny fanantenana ao anatinareo, nefa amin’ ny fahalemem-panahy sy ny fanajana,
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.
ka manàna fieritreretana tsara, mba ho menatra izay manaratsy ny fitondran-tenanareo tsara ao amin’ i Kristy, dia izay anendrikendrehana anareo.
17 For it is better, if it is God’s will, that you suffer for doing what is right than for doing evil.
Fa raha sitrapon’ Andriamanitra, dia tsaratsara kokoa ny hitondra fahoriana amin’ ny fanaovan-tsoa noho ny amin’ ny fanaovan-dratsy.
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,
Fa Kristy koa aza efa nijaly indray mandeha noho ny ota, ny Marina hamonjy ny tsy marina, mba hitondra antsika ho amin’ Andriamanitra, ka novonoina tamin’ ny nofo, fa novelomina tamin’ ny fanahy,
19 in whom he also went and preached to the spirits in prison,
izay nandehanany sy nitoriany teny tamin’ ireo fanahy tao an-tranomaizina,
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.
dia izay tsy nanaiky fahiny, fony niandry ny fahari-pon’ Andriamanitra tamin’ ny andron’ i Noa, raha mbola namboarina ny sambo-fiara, izay nidiran’ ny olona vitsy, dia izy valo mianaka, ka dia namonjena azy ny rano,
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,
izay mamonjy anareo koa ankehitriny, dia ny batisa, izay tenan’ io tandindona io, ― tsy ny fanesorana ny fahalotoan’ ny nofo anefa, fa ny fitadiavana’ ny fieritreretana tsara eo anatrehan Andriamanitra, amin’ ny nitsanganan’ i Jesosy Kristy tamin’ ny maty.
22 who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, angels and authorities and powers being made subject to him.
Izay eo amin’ ny tanana ankavanan’ Andriamanitra; fa efa lasa ho any an-danitra Izy ka efa nampanekena Azy ny anjely sy ny fahefana ary ny hery.
