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;
Muleyi nzila, inywebo nobamakaintu amulibombye kubalumi benu. Amuchite obu nikuba kuli bala balumi batateleli kujwi, kuchitila kuti basanduke babule zyakwamba, kwinda mumichito yabamakaintu babo,
2 seeing your pure behavior in fear.
banoli baba bakamboni kuchilemeko chenu, enjendelo yenu mbotu.
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;
Echi ngachichitwe pepe akulibotya-botya kwaanze mbuli kulilungitizya masusu, kuzwata ngolida atumwi tukumba, nikuba kulisamika mpasya zityola myoyo yabamwi.
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.
Pesi, echi ngachichitwe amuntu wamukati wamumoyo, abubotu butagoli butontolela amuuya wachumunizi, kachili nchechibotu kunembo lya-Leza.
5 For this is how the holy women before, who hoped in God also adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands:
Nkambo obu mbombubo banakazi basalali bechiindi bakali kulangila Leza mbuba kalisamika, kwinda mukulibombya kubalumi babo.
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.
Enzila njiyeeyi Sala wakalibombya kuli Abbulahamu alubo wakali kumwita kuti mba Simwami. Lino nywebo mwaba bana bakwe kapati na mwachita zibotu alubo na kamutayowi mapenzi.
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.
Kakukozyania, anywebo nobalumi mulelede kupona kabotu abamakaintu benu mbuli mbomuzi kuti mwanakazi, ulimbuli chilongo chitasimide. Mulelede kubapa bulemo mbuli basikulyanyokwe lukono kubululami bwamuluzyalo. Amuchite obo kuti inkombyo zyenu zitambulike.
8 Finally, be all like-minded, compassionate, loving as brothers, tenderhearted, humble,
Kumamanino, monseeni, amube amuzeezo ukozyenie, mube akwetelelana, kuyandana mbuli babunyina, amoyo mutete, akulibombya.
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.
Mutabwedezyi chitaluleme kuchibinyina nikuba kubwedezya chisapi kuchisapi. Anukuti amubwedezye kulongezya, nkambo ezi nzimwakaitilwa, kuti mukakonzye kuyokona zilongezyo.
10 For, "He who would love life, and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking deceit.
“Oyo uyanda kubona buumi bubotu akubona mazuba mabotu uyelede kuti wakasya lulimi amulomo wakwe kukwambula chalweeno.
11 Let him turn away from evil, and do good. Let him seek peace, and pursue it.
Akube kuti alilesye kububi akunochita zibotu kupela. Ayandule lumuuno akulutobela.
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."
Nkambo meso a Mwami alabona baluleme, alubo matwi akwe alatelela kunkombyo zyabaluleme. Pesi busyu bwa Mwami bulabukali kulibabo bachita zibi.”
13 Now who is he who will harm you, if you become zealous of that which is good?
Kabi ngwani oyo unga ulamubisizya na mwasungwala kukuchita zibotu?
14 But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you are blessed. "And do not fear what they fear, nor be troubled."
Pele na mwachiswa nkambo kabululami, mulilongezezegwe. Mutayowi ezyo nzibayowa. Mutakalikatazyi.
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:
Pesi, ngamulemeke Mwami Kkilisito kuti musalali mumyoyo yenu. Mukkale kamuli bambilide kuti mukapandulwide boonse bamubuzya makani alusyomo ndomulalo -
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.
Alubo, amukulibombya amukulemeka. Amube amuzezo mubotu kuchitila kuti abo bamutukilila buumi bubotu bwamuli Kkilisito bakawuse insoni nkambo banoli bakali kumwambula anga ndinywe basizibi.
17 For it is better, if it is God's will, that you suffer for doing well than for doing evil.
Nchibotu loko, kuti kakuli nkuyanda kwa Leza, kuti mukachiswe akambo kakuchita zibotu kwinda kunochita zibi.
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;
Alakwe Kkilisito wakachiswa lomwe kachisilwa zibi. Oyo wakaluleme wakatuchisilwa nitwakataluleme pe, kuchitila kuti atuswenzye kuli Leza. Wakatufwida kunyama, pesi wakabusigwa a-Muuya.
19 in which he also went and made a proclamation to the spirits in prison,
Kwinda ku Muuya, wakinka akuyokambawuka kumyuuya eyo ili muntolongo kwalino.
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.
Eyo yakatatelela pe kuchindi nchakachili kukazika moyo wakwe Leza mumazuba aa-Nowa, mumazuba akuyakwa kwabwato, mpawo Leza wakavuna bantu bache buyo - myuuya musanu amwitaatu - kwinda mumanzi.
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,
Echi nchitondezyo chamubbabbatizyo oyo umuvuna lino - takwensi kwamba kuti mbuli mbotusamba tombe amubili pe, pesi nkokuti mulayandula manjezezya mabotu mumeso a Leza - kwinda mububuke bwa Jesu Kkilisito.
22 who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, angels and authorities and powers being made subject to him.
Kkilisito ulikujanza lyalulyo lwa Leza. Wakaya kujulu. Bangelo, bendelezi, abasimanguzu boonse balelede kulibombya kuli nguwe.
