< 1 Peter 3 >

1 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;
Tasia bangma in, zi te awng, na pasal te thu ni vun; Pathian thu a ni nuam ngawl pasal te zong kammal kihel ngawl in zite i ngamtat phatna taw zo tu hi;
2 seeing your pure behavior in fear.
Taciang amate in a thiangtho ngamtatna le a zatakna mu khawm tu hi.
3 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;
Na ki pua dan uh te sia a puasang kipua na a tatuam, sampheak, kham taw kizep dan a tatuam, puansil nikten te taw hi heak tahen;
4 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.
Ahihang nunneam le om hithiat na thaa, note i thinsung ah a ki seal a tul thei ngawl kipuana hi zaw tahen, tasia in Pathian muna ah manpha mama hi.
5 For this is how the holy women before, who hoped in God also adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands:
Banghangziam cile nidanglai Pathian a muang nupi thiangtho te in hibang in, a pasal te thu nit na taw amate le amate kipua uh hi:
6 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.
Sarah in Abraham thu ni a, topa awng, ci in a sap bang in: note zong a pha na sep uh sung theampo, lau ngawl le kita ngawl in na om uh ahile Sarah tanu te na hi uh hi.
7 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.
Tasia bangma in no pasal te, na zi te uh sia a tampal tungbeal dom bang in ahizong, thuthiamna nuntakna ngamhlua khawm te bang in ahizong, zatakna pia vun a, heakna taw teangkhawm vun; tabang hile na thunget na uh te hong khak ngawl tu hi.
8 Finally, be all like-minded, compassionate, loving as brothers, tenderhearted, humble,
A tawpna ah, note theampo thu kisi in om vun, khat le khat tung ah kikhualna nei vun, u le nau bang in ki-it vun, ki ciliap vun a, ki thol nuam na hi tavun:
9 not rendering evil for evil, or reviling for reviling; but instead blessing; because to this were you called, that you may inherit a blessing.
Siatna sia siatna taw thukkik heak vun, hong ngalvawt te ngalvawt kik heak vun: ahihang Pathian in thupha piak tu in hongsam hi, ci phawk in thupha pia zaw vun; tabang in thupha sia ngamh in na lua tu uh hi.
10 For, "He who would love life, and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking deceit.
Banghangziam cile nuntakna a it te le hunpha a mu nuam te in leii i siatna pan kideak hen a, a kam taw ngual theam heak tahen:
11 Let him turn away from evil, and do good. Let him seek peace, and pursue it.
A pha ngawl te pial hen a, a pha te seam tahen; kilemna zong in del tahen.
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."
Banghangziam cile Topa i mitte sia a thutang te tung ah om a, amate thungetna ngai tu in a nakheng te zong daw hi: ahihang Topa mai ah siatna a vawt te sia langpan hi.
13 Now who is he who will harm you, if you become zealous of that which is good?
A pha a zui te na hi uh le akua in hong vawtsia tu ziam?
14 But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you are blessed. "And do not fear what they fear, nor be troubled."
Ahihang thutang suana atu in na thuak uh ahile thuphatoai te na hi uh hi: amate i thawmvauna te lau heak vun, buai zong buai heak vun;
15 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:
Ahihang na thin sung uh ah Topa Pathian upat vun: note sung ah lametna thu hong dong te nunneam le kitakna taw hil thei tu in tatsat ngawl in kidawm vun:
16 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.
Christ sung ah a pha na ngamtatzia uh te sia a man ngawl pi hong mawsiat te in, na pha ngawl seam te bang in, hong zawnsak ciang, amate a maizum thei zawk natu in a pha khentel theina thinsung nei tavun.
17 For it is better, if it is God's will, that you suffer for doing well than for doing evil.
Banghangziam cile, na pha ngawl na sep uh hu in haksatna na thuak uh sang in, Pathian deina ahile phatna na vawt uh hu in haksatna thuak sia phazaw hi.
18 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;
Banghangziam cile Christ zong mawna atu in thuak hi, mi thutang in mi thutang ngawl te atu in thuak hi, tabang in Pathian kung ah hong paipui tu in cilesa sung ah thalupna thuak napi, Thaa in nungtasak kik hi:
19 in which he also went and made a proclamation to the spirits in prison,
Tua Thaa in thongsung ah a om thaa te kung ah pai in thuhil hi;
20 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.
Hi te sia Noah tembaw a saklai in Pathian in thinsautak in ngak napi, thuni nuam ngawl te a hi uh hi, tembaw sung ah tawmbek ahi, mihing liat bek tuisung pan in ngupna nga hi.
21 This is a symbol of baptism, 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 Jesus (the) Messiah,
Tua thu in hong telsaknop tuiphumna sia, tu in Jesus Christ a thawkikna tungtawn in hong ngum hi, tua tuiphumna sia i cilesa sung ah a niin te hong sil in, a sia le pha khentel theina thinsung pha taw, Pathian kung ah kiciamna vawtna hi zaw hi:
22 who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, angels and authorities and powers being made subject to him.
Ama sia vantung ah kaato zo a, Pathian ziatsang ah om hi, taciang vantung mite, thuneina le vangletna theampo i tung ah thu nei hi.
