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, wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; so that, even if any do not obey the word, they may be won by the behavior of their wives without a word;
2 mboti ima se ina yene ucin ulau mine nin gongong bara ati mine.
seeing your pure behavior in 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.
Let your beauty be not just the outward adorning of braiding the hair, and of wearing jewels of gold, or of putting on fine clothing;
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 in the hidden person of the heart, in the incorruptible adornment of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God very precious.
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 is how the holy women before, who hoped in God also 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 Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose children you now are, if you do well, and are not put in fear by any terror.
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.
You husbands, in like manner, live with your wives according to knowledge, giving honor to the woman, as to the weaker vessel, as being also joint heirs of the grace of life; that your prayers may not be hindered.
8 Imalne vat mine, son nari nin kunekune, nin su linuana, nin nibinai nilau anan nibinai msheu.
Finally, be all like-minded, compassionate, loving as brothers, tenderhearted, 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, or reviling for reviling; but instead blessing; because to this were 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 who would love life, and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking 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”.
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."
13 Ame ghari ule na ama lanzu fi ukul, andi udin pizuru imon icine?
Now who is he who will harm you, if you become zealous of that which is 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 you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you are blessed. "And do not fear what they fear, nor be 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 in your hearts Messiah as Lord; and always be ready to give an answer to everyone who asks you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, yet with humility 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 when they speak evil against you, they may be put to shame who slander your good manner of life in Messiah.
17 Andi kiti Kutelle ukattin nin caut uneo nan nyan nimon icine nin woru usu imon inanzang.
For it is better, if it is God's will, that you suffer for doing well 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 Messiah 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;
19 Nan nyan Nruhu awa do adi su uwazi nin ruhu kiti na lenge na iwa di nan nya kilari licin.
in which he also went and made a proclamation 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 before were disobedient, when God waited patiently in the days of Noah, while the box-shaped ship was being built. In it, few, that is, eight souls, were saved by means of 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.
This is a symbol of immersion, which now saves you—not the removal of dirt from the body, but an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Yeshua the Messiah,
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, angels and authorities and powers being made subject to him.
