1 Bitrus 3
1 Nmere, anung na idi awani sun misosin nonku nati kiti nales mine, bara, andi among ma yitu nin diru nnonku nati kitene nlirue, nnuzu ncin na wani mine ima wunnu nani sa uliru,
Likewise the wives, being subordinate to their own husbands, so that even if any are disobedient to the word, they will be gained without a word by the behavior of the wives,
2 mboti ima se ina yene ucin ulau mine nin gongong bara ati mine.
observing, in fear, your pure behavior.
3 Na kuyok mine nwa so kun das bba- nfafo upiu titi, nin tizu kuyok nicancang nizinariya, sa kuyok kongo na ina tizu kunin imon ku kan.
Of which let it not be the outward world of braiding of hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on apparel,
4 Mbara nani na usu kuyok nan nya nibinai kongo na kuma namu ba ana ku so kun ghantinu nnit unan kibinai kilau, kanga na kidi kicine unbun Kutelle.
but the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptible, of the meek and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God.
5 Bara awani nibinai nilau din su kuyok mine nanere. Idi nin nayi akone kiti Kutelle I wonkuzo ati mine nbun nales mine,
For this way formerly also, the holy women, trusting in God, adorned themselves, being subordinate to their own husbands,
6 nanere Sarya wa nonko kibinai me kitin less Ibrahim a yica ghe cilikari. Nene anung nono mere andi idin su imon icine na idin lazu fiu kugbullu ba.
as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose children ye became, doing good, and not being afraid of anything fearful.
7 Libo lirume anung wang nanilime son nan na wani mine nan nyo yiru nworu inung anan lidarni, yinnon imun wang anan seru nlai nfilluari. sun nani bara nlira mine waso sa upiru.
Likewise the husbands living together knowledgeably, as with a weaker vessel, apportioning worth to the female as also joint-heirs of the grace of life, for your prayers not to be hindered.
8 Imalne vat mine, son nari nin kunekune, nin su linuana, nin nibinai nilau anan nibinai msheu.
And finally, all be like-minded, sympathetic, brother-loving, compassionate, friendly,
9 Na iwa tunju imon inanzang nin ni nanzang ba, ana iwa tunju izogo nin nizogo ba; nbara nani leon ubun nin tizu mmari bara nanere ina yicila minu inan leo ugadu mmari.
not rendering evil for evil, or reviling for reviling, but instead giving praise, knowing that ye were called for this, so that ye might inherit a blessing.
10 “Ulenge na adi nin su nlai ayene ayiri acine na a kifo lilem nbellu nliru unanzang a akpa nmu me ana nya ubellu kinu.
For he who wants to love life, and see good days, let him restrain his tongue from evil, and his lips not to speak deceit.
11 Na a kpilin asun likara linanzang me asu imon icine. na a piziru lissosin limang a dofin linin.
Let him turn away from evil, and do good. Let him seek peace, and pursue it.
12 iyizi nakilari din yenju anan katwa kacine, atuf me lanza kuculu mine. Ama umuro ncikilare yita nivira nin na nan katwa kananzang”.
Because the eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous, and his ears to their supplication, but the face of the Lord is against men who do evil things.
13 Ame ghari ule na ama lanzu fi ukul, andi udin pizuru imon icine?
And who is he who will harm you, if ye become imitators of the good?
14 Andi idin niu bara katwa kacine idi nin mari. Na iwa lanza fiu nimon ile na imung din lanzu fiue we ba. Na ayi mine nwa fita ba.
But even if ye should suffer because of righteousness, ye are blessed. But do not fear their terror nor be shaken,
15 Nbara nani, ceon cikilari Christi Yesu ku gegeme nan nya nibinai mine. Ko kome kubi yitan nca i kawu ulenge vat na a firin minu iyaghari nta iyinna nin Kutelle. Sun nani nan nyan inyinnu a unonku nati.
but sanctify the Lord God in your hearts. And always be ready for a defense to every man who asks you a word about the hope in you, with meekness and fear.
16 Yitan nin kpilizu ucine bara vat na lenge na ima zogu ktwa kacine mene nan nyan Kristi ma lanzu nan idin su kubelum mine nafo anung anan likara linanzang.
Having a good conscience, so that, in what they speak against you as of evildoers, they may be ashamed, those who revile your good behavior in Christ.
17 Andi kiti Kutelle ukattin nin caut uneo nan nyan nimon icine nin woru usu imon inanzang.
For it is better to suffer doing good, if the will of God desires, than for doing evil.
18 Kristi wang na neo bara alapi. Ame na awa di lau neo bara arik, arik na ti wadi, nin katwa kacine ba, anan da nin ghirik kiti Kutelle. Iwa molughe nan nya kidowo, iwa tighe aso unan lai nan nya Nruhu.
Because Christ also once suffered for sins, a righteous man for unrighteous men, so that he might bring you to God. Having indeed been killed in flesh, but made alive in spirit,
19 Nan nyan Nruhu awa do adi su uwazi nin ruhu kiti na lenge na iwa di nan nya kilari licin.
in which also, having gone, he preached to the spirits in prison
20 Iwa su ku gbas na ayi asheu Kutelle wa di nca nayirin Nuhu, nan nayirin nkye nzirgi-nmyen, Kutelle utucu anit bar tilai kulir-nan nyan nmyen
who were disobedient formerly, when the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah who prepared an ark in which a few, that is, eight souls were saved through water.
21 Unnare imus nshintunu nmyen ulenge na muni utucu nene, na masin nafo ikusu ndinong nidowo ba, nafo ufo nacara nin kpilizu ucine kiti Kutelle. Nan nyan nfiu in Yesu Kristi.
Which counterpart-immersion-now also saves us, not the putting away of filth of flesh, but an appeal of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
22 Assosin ncara ulime Kutelle. Ana ghana udu kitine kani. nono kadura Kutelle, tigo, nin nakara ma toltunu ati kitime.
who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, agents, and positions of authority, and powers having been subordinated to him.
A Dove is Sent Forth from the Ark
