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,
Bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́, ẹ̀yin aya, ẹ máa tẹríba fún àwọn ọkọ yín; pé, bí ẹnikẹ́ni ba tilẹ̀ ń ṣe àìgbọ́ràn sí ọ̀rọ̀ náà, kí a lè jèrè wọn láì sọ̀rọ̀ nípa ìwà àwọn aya wọn.
2 seeing your pure behavior in fear.
Nígbà tí wọ́n bá ń wo ìwà rere pẹ̀lú ẹ̀rù yín.
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,
Kí ọ̀ṣọ́ yín má ṣe jẹ́ ọ̀ṣọ́ òde, tí irun dídì, àti wúrà lílò, tàbí ti aṣọ wíwọ̀;
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.
ṣùgbọ́n kí ó jẹ́ ẹni tí ó fi ara sin ní ọkàn, nínú ọ̀ṣọ́ àìdíbàjẹ́ ti ẹ̀mí ìrẹ̀lẹ̀ àti ẹ̀mí tútù, èyí tí i ṣe iyebíye níwájú Ọlọ́run.
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.
Nítorí báyìí ni àwọn obìnrin mímọ́ ìgbàanì pẹ̀lú, tí wọ́n gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Ọlọ́run, fi ṣe ara wọn lọ́ṣọ̀ọ́, wọn a máa tẹríba fún àwọn ọkọ wọn.
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.
Gẹ́gẹ́ bí Sara ti gbọ́ ti Abrahamu, tí ó ń pè é ní olúwa rẹ̀. Ọmọbìnrin ẹni tí ẹ̀yin jẹ́, bí ẹ̀yin bá ń ṣe rere, tí ohunkóhun kò sí dẹ́rùbà yín.
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.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ ẹ̀yin ọkọ, ẹ máa fi òye ba àwọn aya yín gbé, ẹ máa fi ọlá fún aya, bi ohun èlò ti kò lágbára, àti pẹ̀lú bí àjùmọ̀jogún oore-ọ̀fẹ́ ìyè; kí àdúrà yín má bà á ní ìdènà.
8 Finally, all of you be like-minded, compassionate, loving as brothers, tenderhearted, courteous,
Lákòótan, kí gbogbo yín jẹ́ onínú kan, ẹ máa bá ara yín kẹ́dùn, ẹ ní ìfẹ́ ará, ẹ máa ṣe ìyọ́nú, ẹ ni ẹ̀mí ìrẹ̀lẹ̀.
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.
Ẹ má ṣe fi búburú san búburú, tàbí fi èébú san èébú: ṣùgbọ́n kàkà bẹ́ẹ̀, ẹ máa súre; nítorí èyí ni a pè yín sí, kí ẹ̀yin lè jogún ìbùkún.
10 For, “He who would love life and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit.
Nítorí, “Ẹni tí yóò bá fẹ́ ìyè, ti yóò sì rí ọjọ́ rere, kí o pa ahọ́n rẹ̀ mọ́ kúrò nínú ibi, àti ètè rẹ̀ mọ́ kúrò nínú sísọ ọ̀rọ̀ ẹ̀tàn.
11 Let him turn away from evil and do good. Let him seek peace and pursue it.
Kí ó yà kúrò nínú ibi, kí ó sì máa ṣe rere; kí ó máa wá àlàáfíà, kí ó sì máa lépa rẹ̀.
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.”
Nítorí ojú Olúwa ń bẹ lára àwọn olódodo, etí rẹ̀ sì ṣí sí ẹ̀bẹ̀ wọn, ṣùgbọ́n ojú Olúwa korò sí àwọn tí ń ṣe búburú.”
13 Now who will harm you if you become imitators of that which is good?
Tá nì yóò sì ṣe yín ní ibi, bí ẹ̀yin bá jẹ́ onítara sí ohun rere?
14 But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you are blessed. “Don’t fear what they fear, neither be troubled.”
Ṣùgbọ́n bí ẹ̀yin bá jìyà nítorí òdodo, a ti bùkún yín. “Ẹ má ṣe bẹ̀rù ìhàlẹ̀ wọn, kí ẹ má sì ṣe kọminú.”
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,
Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ bọ̀wọ̀ fún Kristi bí Olúwa ní ọkàn yín: kí ẹ sì múra tan nígbà gbogbo láti dá olúkúlùkù lóhùn tí ń béèrè ìrètí tí o ń bẹ nínú yín, ṣùgbọ́n pẹ̀lú ọkàn tútù àti ìbẹ̀rù.
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.
Kí ẹ máa ni ẹ̀rí ọkàn rere bí wọ́n ti ń sọ̀rọ̀ yín ní ibi, kí ojú lè ti àwọn tí ń kẹ́gàn ìwà rere yín nínú Kristi.
17 For it is better, if it is God’s will, that you suffer for doing what is right than for doing evil.
Nítorí ó sàn, bí ó bá jẹ́ ìfẹ́ Ọlọ́run, kí ẹ jìyà fún ṣíṣe rere ju fún ṣíṣe búburú lọ.
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,
Nítorí tí Kristi pẹ̀lú jìyà lẹ́ẹ̀kan nítorí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wa, olóòótọ́ fún àwọn aláìṣòótọ́, kí a lè mú wa dé ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run, ẹni tí a pa nínú ara, ṣùgbọ́n tí a sọ di ààyè nínú ẹ̀mí.
19 in whom he also went and preached to the spirits in prison,
Nínú èyí tí ó lọ pẹ̀lú tí ó sì wàásù fún àwọn ẹ̀mí nínú túbú,
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.
àwọn tí ó ṣe aláìgbọ́ràn nígbà kan, nígbà tí sùúrù Ọlọ́run dúró pẹ́ ní sá à kan ní ọjọ́ Noa, nígbà tí wọ́n fi kan ọkọ̀ nínú èyí tí a gba ọkàn díẹ̀ là nípa omi, èyí ni ẹni mẹ́jọ.
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,
Àpẹẹrẹ èyí ti ń gbà yín là nísinsin yìí pẹ̀lú, àní ìtẹ̀bọmi, kì í ṣe wíwẹ́ èérí ti ara nù, bí kò ṣe ìdáhùn ẹ̀rí ọkàn rere si Ọlọ́run, nípa àjíǹde Jesu Kristi.
22 who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, angels and authorities and powers being made subject to him.
Ẹni tí ó lọ sí ọ̀run, tí ó sì ń bẹ lọ́wọ́ ọ̀tún Ọlọ́run: pẹ̀lú àwọn angẹli, àwọn aláṣẹ, àti àwọn alágbára sì tẹríba lábẹ́ rẹ̀.
