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 behaviour of their wives without a word,
Kulwa injila inu, emwe bhanu muli bhagasi kubheile okwisosha ku bhalume bhemwe emwe abhene, koleleki, nolwo kuti abhandi bhebhwe bhachali kugwolobhela omusango, okulabha ku ntungwa ja bhagasi bhebhwe mbatula okubhaleta nolwo gutabhawo musango,
2 seeing your pure behaviour in fear.
kulwa insonga abho abhene abhabha bhailolele intungwa yemwe eyo bhwima amwi ne chibhalo.
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,
Jinu jikoleke atali kwo bhuligile bhwa anja-la kwo kulanga jinfwili, amwi kunanika jijaabhu, amwi bhifwalo bhya bhulele.
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.
Mbe nawe kukilao jikolekane kwa bhumunu bhwa munda yo Mwoyo, no kukila mu bhukonde bhwo kwikeya no bhucholele bhwo Mwoyo, bhunu ni bhubhasi bhunene imbele ya Nyamuanga.
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.
Kulwo kubha abhagasi abhelu bhenanikile abhene ku njila inu, bhaliga bhali ne likilisha ku Nyamuanga na bhabholobhee abhalume bhebhwe abhene.
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.
Kulwa injila inu Sara amwolobhee Ibhulaimu no kulubhilila omwene “Esebhu-genyi” waye. Emwe wolyanu muli bhana bhaye mukakola jinu jili je kisi na mukabha mutakubhaya mabhibhi.
7 You husbands, in the same way, live with your wives according to knowledge, giving honour 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.
Mu njila eyo eyo, emwe abhalume kubheile okulama amwi na bhagasi bhemwe nimumenya ati bhenene ni bhejabho bhe chigasi bhalenga, nimubhamenya bhenene kuti bhalamisi bhejanyu abho mugabho gwo bhuanga. Nimukole kutya koleleki ati lisabhwa lyemwe lyasiga kuganyibhwa.
8 Finally, all of you be like-minded, compassionate, loving as brothers, tenderhearted, courteous,
Ebhya kubhutelo, emwe bhona, nimubhega no kwiganilisha kumwi, abho kufwilana chigongo, elyenda kuti bha nda umwi, abho kwikuya, na bhololo.
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.
Mwasiga kusubhya nsigu, amwi okufuma ebhya mungubho. Obhutasikene bhwacho ni kugendelela okusosha amabhando, ku nsonga inu mwabhilikiliywe, koleleki ati mutule okulya omwandu gwa libhando.
10 For, “He who would love life and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit.
“Mwenene unu Kenda obhulame no kubhona olusiku lwe kisi ni bhusi-bhusi aluganye olulimi lwaye kwa amabhibhi ne minwa jaye okukwaika ejo bhulige-lige.
11 Let him turn away from evil and do good. Let him seek peace and pursue it.
Na ainduke no kusiga amabhibhi no kukola agekisi. Aige omulembe no kugulubha.
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.”
Ameso ga Latabhugenyi agamulola omulengelesi na amatwi gaye agongwa lisabhwa lyaye. Mbe nawe obhusu bhwa Latabhugenyi bhutasikene na bhalya bhanu abhakola emibhibhi.”
13 Now who will harm you if you become imitators of that which is good?
Niga unu alibhanyamula emwe, mukabha nimuligila linu likondele? Mbe nawe mukabha nimunyaka kwo bhulengelesi, mbe muyanilwe libhando. Mwasiga kubhaya galya ganu bhenene abhagobhaya. Mwasiga kuwa mwoyo.
14 But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you are blessed. “Don’t fear what they fear, neither be troubled.”
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,
Kukila ejo, nimumute Kristo Latabhugenyi mu Mioyo jemwe kuti bhelu. Bhuli mwanya nimubhega muli bhwangu okumusubhya bhuli munu unu kabhabhusha emwe ati ni Kulwaki muli no kwiikanya ku Nyamuanga. Nimukole kutya kwo bhwololo ne chibhalo.
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 Messiah.
Nimubhega no mutima gwekisi koleleki ati abhanu bhanu abhafuma obhulame bhwemwe bhwe kisi mu Kristo bheswale kunsonga abhaika jinu jitasikene mwime kuti ati mwaliga nimukola mabhibhi.
17 For it is better, if it is God’s will, that you suffer for doing what is right than for doing evil.
Ni kwa kisi kukila, alabha Nyamuanga kaligila, ati mwanyasibhwa kulwo oukola agekisi kukila okukola amabhibhi.
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,
Kristo one anyakile lugendo lumwi ingulu ye bhibhibhi. Omwene unu ali mulengelesi nawe anyasibhwe ingulu yeswe, kenu eswe chaliga chitali bhalengelesi, koleleki ati achilete eswe ku Nyamuanga. Afuye mu mubhili, mbe nawe akolelwe kubha muanga mu mwoyo.
19 in whom he also went and preached to the spirits in prison,
Mu Mwoyo, agendele no kuja okujisimulila emioyo jinu wolyanu jibhoyelwe mwi bhoyelo.
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.
Jaliga jitana bhwololo mu mwanya gunu obhwigumilisha bhwa Nyamuanga anu bhwaliga bhuchalindilila omwanya gwa Nuhu, mu nsiku jo bhukonji bhwa imeli, (isafina) na Nyamuanga akisishe bhanu bhatyali-la-mioyo munana- okusoka mu maji.
21 This is a symbol of immersion, which now saves you—not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience towards God—through the resurrection of Yeshua the Messiah,
Lunu ni lunyamo lwo bhubhatijo lunu olubhakisha emwe wolyanu, atali ati okwosha obhujabhi okusoka mu mubhili, mbe nawe alabha lisabhwa lyo mutima gwe kisi ku Nyamuanga, okulabha mu bhusuluko obhwa Yesu Kristo. Omwene ali mu kubhoko okwe bhulyo okwa Nyamuanga.
22 who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, angels and authorities and powers being made subject to him.
Ajiye mu lwile. Malaika, obhutungi, na managa ni bhusi-bhusi bhimwolobhele omwene.
