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,
In like manner also let wives be subject to their husbands: that if any believe not the word, they may be won without the word, by the conversation of the wives.
2 mboti ima se ina yene ucin ulau mine nin gongong bara ati mine.
Considering your chaste conversation with fear.
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.
Whose adorning let it not be the outward plaiting of the hair, or the wearing of gold, or the putting on of 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 incorruptibility of a quiet and a meek spirit, which is rich 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 after this manner heretofore the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection 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 Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters you are, doing well, and not fearing any disturbance.
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.
Ye husbands, likewise dwelling with them according to knowledge, giving honour to the female as to the weaker vessel, and as to the co-heirs of the grace of life: that your prayers be not hindered.
8 Imalne vat mine, son nari nin kunekune, nin su linuana, nin nibinai nilau anan nibinai msheu.
And in fine, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, being lovers of the brotherhood, merciful, modest, humble:
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, nor railing for railing, but contrariwise, blessing: for unto this are you called, that you may 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 that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile.
11 Na a kpilin asun likara linanzang me asu imon icine. na a piziru lissosin limang a dofin linin.
Let him decline from evil, and do good: let him seek after 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 upon the just, and his ears unto their prayers: but the countenance of the Lord upon them that do evil things.
13 Ame ghari ule na ama lanzu fi ukul, andi udin pizuru imon icine?
And who is he that can hurt you, if you be zealous of 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 if also you suffer any thing for justice’ sake, blessed are ye. And be not afraid of their fear, and be not troubled.
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 Christ in your hearts, being ready always to satisfy every one that asketh you a reason of that hope which is in you.
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.
But with modesty and fear, having a good conscience: that whereas they speak evil of you, they may be ashamed who falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.
17 Andi kiti Kutelle ukattin nin caut uneo nan nyan nimon icine nin woru usu imon inanzang.
For it is better doing well (if such be the will of God) to suffer, than doing ill.
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 died once for our sins, the just for the unjust: that he might offer us to God, being put to death indeed in the flesh, but enlivened in the 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 coming he preached to those spirits that were 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
Which had been some time incredulous, when they waited for the patience of God in the days of Noe, when the ark was a building: wherein a few, that is, eight souls, were saved by 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.
Whereunto baptism being of the like form, now saveth you also: not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the examination of a good conscience towards God by 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 on the right hand of God, swallowing down death, that we might be made heirs of life everlasting: being gone into heaven, the angels and powers and virtues being made subject to him.
A Dove is Sent Forth from the Ark
