1 Pedro 3

1 Halaber emazteac suiet diraden bere senharrén, baldineta batzu hitzaren desobedient badirade, emaztén conuersationeaz hitza gabe irabaz ditecençat,

Likewise let the wiues bee subiect to their husbands, that euen they which obey not the worde, may without the worde be wonne by the conuersation of the wiues,

2 Ikussi duqueitenean çuen conuersatione caste beldurrequin dena:

While they beholde your pure conuersation, which is with feare.

3 Ceinén ornamendua eztén lekoreco bilo içurduratan, edo vrrhezco paramendutan, edo abillamenduetaco habitutan:

Whose apparelling, let it not be that outwarde, with broyded heare, and golde put about, or in putting on of apparell:

4 Baina bihotzeco guiçon gordea, spiritu eme eta sossegu batetaco incorruptionean consistitzen dena, cein baita Iaincoaren aitzinean precioso.

But let it bee the hidde man of the heart, which consisteth in the incorruption of a meeke and quiet spirite, which is before God a thing much set by.

5 Ecen hunela lehenago emazte sainda Iaincoa baithan sperança çutenac-ere appaincen ciraden, suiet ciradelaric bere senharrén:

For euen after this maner in time past did the holy women, which trusted in God, tire them selues, and were subiect to their husbands.

6 Sarac Abraham obeditzen çuen beçala, hura iaun deitzen çuela, ceinen alaba eguin içan baitzarete, vngui eguiten duçuela, eta eceinere iciapenen beldur etzaretela.

As Sara obeyed Abraham, and called him Sir: whose daughters ye are, whiles yee doe well, not being afraide of any terrour.

7 Senharrác, halaber conuersa eçaçue hequin discretqui emaztezco vnci fragilagoarequin beçala, ohore emaiten draucaçuela, elkarrequin vicitzeco gratiaren heredero quide-ere çaretenoc beçala, çuen orationeac empatcha eztitecençát.

Likewise ye husbands, dwel with them as men of knowledge, giuing honour vnto the woman, as vnto the weaker vessell, euen as they which are heires together of the grace of life, that your prayers be not interrupted.

8 Eta finalqui guciac çareten consentimendu batetaco eta compassione batetaco, fraternalqui onhetsle çaretelaric misericordioso, gratioso:

Finally, be ye all of one minde: one suffer with another: loue as brethren: bee pitifull: bee courteous,

9 Gaitza gaitzagatic rendatzen eztuçuela edo iniuria iniuriagatic, baina contrariora, benedicatzen duçuela: daquiçuelaric ecen hartara deithuac çaretela, benedictionezco heretagea possedi deçaçuençát.

Not rendring euil for euill, neither rebuke for rebuke: but contrarywise blesse, knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should be heires of blessing.

10 Ecen nahi duenac onhetsi vicia, eta ikussi egun onac, beguira beça bere mihia gaitzetaric, eta bere ezpainac enganioren pronuntiatzetic:

For if any man long after life, and to see good dayes, let him refraine his tongue from euill, and his lippes that they speake no guile.

11 Itzul bedi gaizquitic, eta begui vngui: bilha beça baquea, eta iarreiqui bequió hari.

Let him eschew euil, and do good: let him seeke peace, and follow after it.

12 Ecen Iaunaren beguiac iustoén gainera beha daude, eta haren beharriac hayén othoitzetara, eta Iaunaren beguithartea da gaizquiac eguiten dituztenén gainean.

For the eyes of the Lord are ouer the righteous, and his eares are open vnto their prayers: and the face of the Lord is against them that do euil.

13 Eta nor da çuey calteric eguinen drauçuena, baldin vnguiari baçarreitzate?

And who is it that will harme you, if ye follow that which is good?

14 Baina baldin cerbait suffritzen baduçue vngui eguinagatic, dohatsu çarete. Baina hayén beldurrez icit etzaiteztela, ezeta trubla:

Notwithstanding blessed are ye, if ye suffer for righteousnes sake. Yea, feare not their feare, neither be troubled.

15 Aitzitic Iainco Iauna sanctifica eçaçue çuen bihotzetan: eta çareten bethi prest ihardestera çuetan den sperançáz raçoin galde eguiten duen guciari, emetassunequin eta reuerentiarequin,

But sanctifie the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready alwayes to giue an answere to euery man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you, with meekenesse and reuerence,

16 Conscientia ona duçuelaric: çuen contra gaizquiguiléz beçala minço diraden gauçán, confus diradençat, çuen conuersatione Christ baithango ona calumniatzen dutenac.

Hauing a good coscience, that whe they speake euill of you as of euill doers, they may be ashamed, which slander your good conuersation in Christ.

17 Ecen hobe da vngui eguiten duçuela affligi çaitezten, baldin Iaincoaren vorondateac hala nahi badu, ecen ez gaizqui eguiten duçuela.

For it is better (if the will of God be so) that ye suffer for well doing, then for euil doing.

18 Ecen Christec-ere behin bekatuagatic suffritu vkan du, iustoac iniustoacgatic: gu Iaincoagana eraman guençançát, haraguiz mortificaturic, baina viuificaturic Spirituaz.

For Christ also hath once suffered for sinnes, the iust for the vniust, that he might bring vs to God, and was put to death concerning the flesh, but was quickened by the spirit.

19 Cein Spirituz carceleco spirituey-ere partituric predicatu vkan baitraue,

By the which hee also went, and preached vnto the spirits that are in prison.

20 Lehenago desobedient ciradeney, behin beha cegoenean Iaincoaren patientiá Noeren egunetan, appaincen cenean arká: ceinetan gutiac, da iaquiteco, çortzi arima salua baitzitecen vrez:

Which were in time passed disobedient, when once the long suffering of God abode in the dayes of Noe, while the Arke was preparing, wherein fewe, that is, eight soules were saued in the water.

21 Ceini orain ihardesten draucan baptismoaren figurác gu-ere saluatzen gaitu: ez haraguico satsutassunac chahutzen dituenac, baina conscientiá onaren attestationeac Iaincoaren aitzinean Iesus Christen resurrectioneaz:

Whereof the baptisme that nowe is, answering that figure, (which is not a putting away of the filth of the flesh, but a confident demaunding which a good conscience maketh to God) saueth vs also by the resurrection of Iesus Christ,

22 Cein baita Iaincoaren escuinean, cerurát ioanic, ceini suiet eguin baitzaitza Aingueruäc, eta puissançac eta verthuteac.

Which is at the right hand of God, gone into heauen, to whom the Angels, and Powers, and might are subiect.

A Dove is Sent Forth from the Ark
