1 Peter 3
1 In the same way, wives, be in subjection to your own husbands, so that, even if any don’t obey the Word, they may be won by the behavior of their wives without a word,
Hwidala eli, amwe mwamlii bhashe mhwanziwa ahwifumye hwa lume bhenyu mwemwe, nantele, nkashekati yabho sebhalyogopa izuu, Ashilile anjendo zyeshe bhabho wawezye avutishe bila lizuu,
2 seeing your pure behavior in fear.
namtele abhene bhebho bhaibha bhalohile enjondo ne nshinshi
3 Let your beauty come not from the outward adorning of braiding your hair, and of wearing gold ornaments or of putting on fine clothing,
Ene embakombosye sehumapambo ga honze yaani atabhe isisi, evintuvye dhahabu au amenda genshinshi.
4 but from the hidden person of the heart, in the incorruptible adornment of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in God’s sight.
Namtele baada yesho ebhombeshe huwintu wa muhati we mwoyo, na shi zanye owinza no upomu we mwoyo, gulasamwaushe witazi lyakwe Ongolobhe.
5 For this is how in the past the holy women who hoped in God also adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands.
Alenganaje abhashe aputi bhahwipambile bhebho hwidala eli, wahali nolwetesho hwa Ngolobhe na bhabhoopaga alume bhabha bhebho
6 So Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose children you now are if you do well and are not put in fear by any terror.
bhwihida eli oSala amwogope o Iblahimu na hukuzye “Gosi” warwe. Amwe esalezi mli bhana bhakwe nkashe mwaibhomba zyazilinyinza nkashe semuhwogopa embiwi.
7 You husbands, in the same way, live with your wives according to knowledge, giving honor to the woman as to the weaker vessel, as also being joint heirs of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered.
Hwidala elyo lyenyo amwe mwalume muhwanziwa akhale shinza nashe bhenyu nkamumanya aje ebho wamwenyu bhebhashe awinu muwamanye aje waposhezi wamwenyu wempesya yewomi, bhombaji eshi aje emputo zyenyu zinganje agomelwe.
8 Finally, all of you be like-minded, compassionate, loving as brothers, tenderhearted, courteous,
Nantele, amwe mwenti, mubhe no mwoyo gumo, abhe wasajiliane, na asongwane, nanshi aholo, bhabhahwiyisizye, na hogowe.
9 not rendering evil for evil or insult for insult; but instead blessing, knowing that you were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing.
Mganje wezye amabhibhi hu mabhibhi, endigo hu ndigo. Ishinyume shakwe, mwendelelaje asaye Afutanaje mwakwiziwe, aje muwezye agale ebaraka.
10 For, “He who would love life and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit.
Omwene wasongwa olwizyo nalole insiku alukhane omele lwake humabhibhi ni lomi lyakwe ayanje olusyonshelo.
11 Let him turn away from evil and do good. Let him seek peace and pursue it.
Nantele agalushe na agalehse amabhibhi na abhombe gagali minza na ayanze ulwomvwano na alubhenjelezye.
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.”
Amaso ga Ngolobhe gahulola wali ne lyoli na makutu gakwe gahumwomvwa emputo yakwe. Lelo iliso lya bhabhabhomba embibhi.”
13 Now who will harm you if you become imitators of that which is good?
Wenu wanzabhanankanye amwe nkamziliha lyalili linza?
14 But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you are blessed. “Don’t fear what they fear, neither be troubled.”
Nkashe mwalabha ne lyoli msaiilwe mganje gogope gala ambago awene wagogopa. Mganje awe noyinzuyinzi.
15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts. Always be ready to give an answer to everyone who asks you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, with humility and fear,
Pamande yakwe mubheshe oyosu mmoyo genyu walii golosu. Omuda gwonti mughale hani ahujibu omuntu wabhambhozyezya ahusu isobhelo lyenyu hwa Ngolobhe. Whombaji sheshihuhogowe ne nshinshi.
16 having a good conscience. Thus, while you are spoken against as evildoers, they may be disappointed who curse your good way of life in Christ.
Mubhe bhahwilonje ishinza aje nkashe bhabhaliga owinza wenyu hwa Nholobhe wakenyaje afutanaje bhayanga shingunga aje amwe mwali bhambhomba embibhi.
17 For it is better, if it is God’s will, that you suffer for doing what is right than for doing evil.
Shinza sana, Ongolobhe nkaziliha, aje myemba na bhombe aminza kuliko abhombe amabhibhi.
18 Because Christ 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,
O Yesu ayembele limo afwatane ne mbibhi omwene ola welyoli omwene. Afuatanaje ete sagaibhawelyoli ili atitwale ate hwa Ngolobhe. Afwiye eshibele abhehwe mwomi, hushiloho.
19 in whom he also went and preached to the spirits in prison,
Hushiloho hwohwo abhalile azilombelele eviloho vila salezi vifungulwe.
20 who before were disobedient when God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ship was being built. In it, few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water.
Sagazyali zihwomvwa lula ujimvi wa Ngolobhe na wahali ugolela ensi zya Nuhu ensinku zya zenje embombo ye mpogoso, no Ngolobhe ahokoye awantu wadodo ahokoye amoyo nane afune mumenze.
21 This is a symbol of baptism, which now saves you—not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God—through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
Ene shimanyilo shewoziwa sio aje ahwozye entavu afume mubele kama ndawo ye mwoyo ogwinza hwa Ongolobhe ashilile ovyonsu wa Yesu Kilisti.
22 who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, angels and authorities and powers being made subject to him.
Omwene ali hukhono ondelo ogwa Ngolobhe. Abhalile amwanya ohale ozelu, ulongozi wa maha, vimwogope omwene.
