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,
Erah likhiik hesanuh loong ah hesawah loong lakhui nah ang theng, tiimnge liidoh hesawah ih Rangte jengkhaap lahanpi kaadoh, hesanuh sen loong reeraang jun ih toom hanpi rum asuh ah. Sen ih jengkhaap labaat kanbah uh ese ang ah,
2 seeing your pure behavior in fear.
tiimnge liidi sen reeraang pakna loong ah tiimthan esa nyia mih ih choomjoot theng reete ngeh ih neng ih tup ih ah.
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,
Sen loong ah rangwuuthak nah jaase toom ang ang ngeh ih lah choomchaak theng, khoroon ah jaaseehoom, adoleh hun akom ah pok, adoleh nyuse khatmi ah kap.
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.
Erah nang ebah, senten senmong nawa ih jaase ang theng, Rangte miksok di bah tenthun ni nyia chiiala ni semroongroong angte loong aba saarookwet raangtaan ih toongtang angla ah elongthoon.
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.
Tiimnge liidi, teewah di thooroom minuh loong ah, o Rangte suh laalomte angta, erah loong ah neng sawah lakhui ni songtong rum anno neng teeteenuh jaase thuk rumta.
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.
Sara ah emamah angta; heh Abraham jeng chaatchaat ih ano heh sawah suh nga changte ngeh ih liita. Amadi sen loong ah tiimra uh lacho laphaan ih epun ah reelan bah minuh sen loong ah hesuh hesah ih hoon lan.
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.
Erah likhiikkhiik hesawah sen loong ah ih sen sanuh damdoh seklilih ih songtong an, neng loong ah sen nang ih tajatka. Neng loong ah choomjoot ih an, tiimnge liidoh, Rangte lakkot roidong ah sen damdam roong choha. Sen rangsoom rangtu ah laphaangjaang suh emamah re an.
8 Finally, all of you be like-minded, compassionate, loving as brothers, tenderhearted, courteous,
Jengthoon ah langla: Sen loongtang thung atak nyia tenthun phoosiit ang theng; sen jaachi nah minchanmui etheng, nyia wasiit ih wasiit minchan etheng.
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.
Mih ethih angha bah uh ethih nakngaak angtheng adoleh mih ih tamho bah uh langaak tam theng; erah nang ebah romse ngaaktam koh an, tiimnge liidoh Rangte ih poon tahan adoh romseetam kot suh kakhamta.
10 For, “He who would love life and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit.
Rangteele ni amah liiha, Sen loong ah roidong doh tenroon angsuh li anbah nyia saapootse ah japtup suh li anbah, sen loong ah ethih ekhah lajaatjaat jeng theng adoleh tiit hu baat ah etoihaat etheng.
11 Let him turn away from evil and do good. Let him seek peace and pursue it.
Sen loong ah ethih ekhah reelan ah toihaat anno ese ah re theng senten senmong ih jam anno semroongroong tongtha suh laat an.
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.”
Tiimnge liidi Teesu ih thooroom minah ah sokboi roh eha nyia neng rangsoom ah chaat ha; enoothong ethih reete ah tase choka.”
13 Now who will harm you if you become imitators of that which is good?
Marah ese ah reeraang suh ram anbah o ih jen thet haat han?
14 But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you are blessed. “Don’t fear what they fear, neither be troubled.”
Marah epun ah erah reeraang thoidoh chamnaang andoh botseh sen loong ah tiimthan tenroon ang an! Sen loong ah o ra uh nakcho an, adoleh naksootsaam an.
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,
Enoothong sen ten nah Kristo ah choomjoh roh ih an, nyia Teesu ngeh ih choomjoroh etheng. Sen laalom tiit ah mih ih cheng handoh ngaakbaat suh saarookwet banban ih tong an,
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.
enoothong choomjoot damdoh seklilih ih baattaan theng. Senthung sentak ah seklilih ang an, mamah liidi sen Kristo liphan tungthoidoh o ih an reeraang suh ethih li ah, neng loong ah neng jeng suh rakrek thuk theng.
17 For it is better, if it is God’s will, that you suffer for doing what is right than for doing evil.
Tiimnge liidi ethih reeraang nang ebah, ese reeraang thoidoh chamnaang kibah eseethoon ang ah Rangte thung angkabah ah.
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,
Mamah liidi rangdah mina sen raangtaan ih Kristo ah jaasiit di roop tiita, heh teewah mina ah ese angta erabah uh sen loong ah Rangte reenah thoksiit suh loongtang rangdah raangtaan ih roop tiita. Kristo ah hansi ni etek haat eta, enoothong chiiala ni ething tongthukla,
19 in whom he also went and preached to the spirits in prison,
eno chiiala ni thingtong tungkaangdi chiiala tangsak ha loong suh baattaan kata.
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.
Erah langla, Noah ih khoonkhu hoonta doh Rangte ih bansokroh lek ih koleh heh jeng laboichaatte loong ah chiiala loong angta. Khoonkhu adi mina ehan tah angta—rooproop ih asat ang rumta—ju nawa neng ba pui rumta,
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,
erah langla, amadi puipang halan juutem sin angta. Erah sak nawa esot saachot tiit tah angka, thung atak ese nawa ih Rangte damdi kakham tiit. Jisu Kristo ngaaksaat jun ih erah ih puipangha,
22 who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, angels and authorities and powers being made subject to him.
o rangmong ni wang ano Rangte reeni dakmi ko tongwangla, rangmong dowa rangsah loong, ngoong awang nyia chaan aphaan loong ah heh ih panha.
