1 Peter 3
1 Te vanbangla huta rhoek te a va rhoek taengah boengai uh saeh. Te daengah ni khat khat loh olka te aek mai cakhaw a yuu rhoek kah omih rhangneh amih te ol mueh la a dang uh eh.
Likewise, you wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they may, without the word, be won by the conduct of their wives,
2 Nangmih kah omih te rhihnah neh a cuem la hmuh uh saeh.
by observing your blameless and reverential conduct.
3 Nangmih kah a hmanhu ah sam toel tih sui, Diklai himbai, pueinak he tah thoeihcamnah la om boel saeh.
Let not your adorning be that which is outward, which consists in plaiting the hair, and wearing gold, and putting on apparel:
4 Tedae hlang thinko kah a huephael ah aka kuei mueihla neh muelhtuet, dingsuek la thoeihcamuh. Te tah Pathen hmaiah a phu om.
but let it be the hidden man of the heart, adorned with the incorruptible ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which, in the sight of God, is of great price.
5 Pathen aka ngaiuep noek huta cim rhoek khaw a va rhoek taengah boe a ngai uh nen ni amamih te a thoeihcam uh van.
For, in former times, the holy women also, who trusted in God, thus adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands,
6 Sarah loh Abraham taengah ol a ngai vanbangla, anih te boeipa la a khue. A ca la na om uh dongah a thensai te rhih ham om pawt tih letnah khaw om pawh.
as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: and you are her children, if you do good, and fear no dismay.
7 Tongpa rhoek aw, amih te mingnah neh khosak puei van. Tattloel hno neh a om vanbangla huta taengah hinyahnah tueng sak. Hingnah dongkah lungvatnah te aka pang hmaih la na om van daengah ni na thangthuinah te a tomta pawt eh.
Likewise, you husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, bestowing honor on the wife as the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, in order that your prayers may not be hindered.
8 A cuinah la, thikat la, hlang rhen kho neh, thintlo koeina, sitloh thimhalh, thindo kodo te boeih khueh uh laeh.
Finally, be all of the same mind, be sympathizing, lovers of the brethren, kind-hearted, humble-minded;
9 A boethae te boethae neh, thuithetnah te thuithetnah neh thuung uh boeh. Tedae a khuplat la uem uh, te ham te n'khue daengah ni yoethennah te na pang uh eh.
not repaying evil for evil, nor reviling for reviling, but, on the other hand, blessing, since you know that for this end you were called, that you might inherit blessing.
10 Hingnah te aka lungnah tih khohnin then hmuh ham aka ngaih long tah a lai te a thae khui lamkah cuep saeh. A hmui te khaw tuengkhuepnah thui sak boel saeh.
For he that will love life, and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking guile:
11 Te dongah a thae te rhael saeh lamtah a then te saii saeh. Rhoepnah te toem saeh lamtah hnuktlak saeh.
let him turn from evil and do good: let him seek peace, and pursue it.
12 Boeipa mik loh aka dueng te a hmuhdam tih amih kah rhenbihnah benla hna a kaeng. Tedae thae aka saii te Boeipa kah maelhmai loh a mangthong tak.
For the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open to their cry: but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.
13 A then dongah aka hmae la na om uh atah u long nangmih te n'hnaep eh?
And who is he that will harm you, if you be followers of that which is good?
14 Tedae duengnah kongah na patang uh mai atah na yoethen uh. Tedae amih lamkah rhihnah te rhih uh boeh, thuen uh boeh.
But yet, if you even suffer for righteousness, happy are you. Yet fear not their terror, nor be troubled:
15 Tedae na thinko ah Khrih te Boeipa la hinyah uh. Nangmih khuikah ngaiuepnah kongah olka nangmih aka dawt boeih te olthungnah ham sikim la om yoeyah uh.
but reverence the Lord God in your hearts, and be always ready to answer every one that asks of you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear;
16 Tedae nangmih aka hnaep tih n'yan uh vaengah te Khrih ah omih then neh yahpoh sak ham a then la muelhtuetnah, rhihnah te mingcimnah neh khueh uh.
having a good conscience, that, inasmuch as they speak against you as evil-doers, they may be ashamed who traduce your good con duct in Christ.
17 A thensai he then ta. Pathen kah kongaih loh a ngaih atah thae lakah patang he then ngai.
For it is better, if such be the will of God, that you suffer for doing good, than for doing evil.
18 Halang yueng la hlang dueng, Khrih tah tholhnah kongah vaikhat la patang coeng. Te daengah ni nangmih te Pathen taengla n'thak eh. Pumsa ah duek ngawn cakhaw mueihla ah hing coeng.
For Christ also once suffered for sins, the Just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, having been put to death in flesh, but made alive in spirit;
19 Te nen te thongim khuiah khaw cet tih mueihla rhoek taengah a hoe coeng.
in which also he went and preached to the spirits in prison,
20 Noah tue kah sangpho a rhoekbah vaengah thinsennah neh Pathen aka lamtawn loh ana aek noek coeng. Te khuiah a sii ngai parhet tah tui lamloh aka daem hinglu la ana om.
who formerly were disobedient, when the long-suffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while an ark was preparing, in which few, that is, eight souls, were brought in safety through the water;
21 Te tah baptisma dongah aka daem nangmih kah mueimae la om van coeng. Pumsa kah a tihnai capitnah ke pawt tih Jesuh Khrih kah thohkoepnah dongah a then la mingcimnah neh Pathen taengah m'bih ke ni.
the likeness of which, even immersion, (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the seeking of a good conscience toward God, ) does now also save us, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
22 Amah tah Pathen kah bantang ah om. Vaan ah a pongpa vaengah puencawn rhoek, saithainah neh thaomnah te amah taengah boe a ngai sak.
who has gone into heaven, and is at the right hand of God, angels and authorities and powers having become subject to him.
