1 Piter 3
1 Cemyih lawt na, zukhqi, nami vaakhqi ak kaina koep lah uh, cawh ni nami vaakhqi ak khuiawh awi amak cangnaak a awm awhtaw, nangmih zukhqi a khawboe ak caming a mingmih ce awi kqawn kaana noeng na a awm hly,
In like manner also let wives be subject to their husbands: that if any believe not the word, they may be won without the word, by the conversation of the wives.
2 nangmih a khawboe ak ciimcaih ingkaw kqihchah ak cu khawsaknaak ce hu kawmsaw na noeng hly thai hy.
Considering your chaste conversation with fear.
3 Nangmih a thangleeknaak ce a ceng benna kaw thoeih ang camnaak na a awm aham am awm hy, Lusam petkhqi, sui ing thoeih ang cam qukhqi, suibai ak leek leekkhqi ing thoeih ang cam qukhqi na a awm ham am awm hy.
Whose adorning let it not be the outward plaiting of the hair, or the wearing of gold, or the putting on of apparel:
4 Ce anglakawhtaw, nak khuiawh ak awm ce ni a leek aham a awm, amak zai thai kawdungnaak ingkaw a cyp a myih na awmnaak, ce ni Khawsa huh awh a phuk tlo na a awm.
But the hidden man of the heart in the incorruptibility of a quiet and a meek spirit, which is rich in the sight of God.
5 Cemyihna ni syn awhkaw nu thlakciimkhqi ing Khawsa awh ngaih-unaak ami taak nawh thlak leek na ami na awm hy. Ami vaakhqi ak kaiawh koep uhy,
For after this manner heretofore the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands:
6 Sarah amyihna, anih ing Abraham ak awi ce ngai nawh boeipa tinawh khy hy. Nangmih awm ik-oeih ak thym ce nami sai nawh kqihnaak am nami taak awhtaw anih a canu na awm uhyk ti.
As Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters you are, doing well, and not fearing any disturbance.
7 Cemyih bai lawtna nangmih vaakhqi aw nami zukhqi ak khanawh khaw ak poek thai na awm lah uh, nami zukhqi ce qeennaak hqingnaak kutdo ak pang haih tha amak awm khqoet na ngai unawh kqihchah lah uh, cawh ni na cykcahnaak ak kangkung na ama awm hly.
Ye husbands, likewise dwelling with them according to knowledge, giving honour to the female as to the weaker vessel, and as to the co-heirs of the grace of life: that your prayers be not hindered.
8 A hukhit awh, nangmih boeih pynoet ingkaw pynoet qoep ang qui cana awm lah uh; qeennaak ta unawh, cingna tainamyihna lung qu na lah uh, qeen qu unawh taw namik kaw dung sak uh.
And in fine, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, being lovers of the brotherhood, merciful, modest, humble:
9 Amak leek ik-oeih ce amak leek ik-oeih lawt ing koeh thung unawh zyihnaak ce zyihnaak ing koeh thung uh, zoseennaak pe law mai uh, kawtih vemyihna awm aham ni anik khy khqi hy, cawh ni zoseennaak nami pang hly.
Not rendering evil for evil, nor railing for railing, but contrariwise, blessing: for unto this are you called, that you may inherit a blessing.
10 Ikawtih, U awm hqingnaak ce ak lungnaak nawh khawnghi leek huh ak ngaih ingtaw ik-oeih amak leek awhkawng am lai ce khoem seitaw thainaak awhkawng am kha ce cyp seh.
For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile.
11 Ik-oeih amak leek ce cehta seitaw ik-oeih leek ce sai seh; qoepnaak ce sui seitaw hquut seh.
Let him decline from evil, and do good: let him seek after peace and pursue it:
12 Ikawtih Bawipa amik taw thlak dyng ak khanawh awm nawh ang haa ing cekkhqi ak cykcahnaak awi ce ngai pehy, cehlai ik-oeih amak leek ak saikhqi ce Bawipa ing hawi taak khqi hy,” tihy.
Because the eyes of the Lord are upon the just, and his ears unto their prayers: but the countenance of the Lord upon them that do evil things.
13 Ik-oeih leek sai aham nami ngaih awhtaw u ing nangmih ce nganbawh ani zawk sak hly khqi?
And who is he that can hurt you, if you be zealous of good?
14 Ik-oeih thym nami sai dawngawh khuikha qoe bai u tik seiawm, ce ce nangmih aham zoseennaak ni. “A mingmih ing amik kqih ce koeh kqih uh; koeh ly uh.
But if also you suffer any thing for justice’ sake, blessed are ye. And be not afraid of their fear, and be not troubled.
15 Cehlai namik kawlung khuiawh Khrih ce Bawipa na ta uh. Nangmih ing nami taak ngaih-unaak akawng ce thlang ing ani doet khqi awh namik kqawn peek thainaak ham a oepchoeh na awm uh. Cehlai kawdungnaak kqihchahnaak ing kqawn law pe uh,
But sanctify the Lord Christ in your hearts, being ready always to satisfy every one that asketh you a reason of that hope which is in you.
16 kawpoek ak caih na ta uh, cawh ni Khrih awh nangmih a khawboe leeknaak che na amik kqawnkhqi ce amik chah hly.
But with modesty and fear, having a good conscience: that whereas they speak evil of you, they may be ashamed who falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.
17 Khawsa ak kawngaih awhtaw, ik-oeih amak leek sai anglakawh ik-oeih ak leek sai ce nep bet hy.
For it is better doing well (if such be the will of God) to suffer, than doing ill.
18 Ikawtih nangmih ce Khawsa venna ceh pyi ham, thlak dyng am aham thlak dyng, Khrih ing thlang boeih aham hypboet thi hawh hy. Anih ing a pum awh thihnaak ce hu hy, cehlai Myihla ing hqing sai tlaih hy,
Because Christ also died once for our sins, the just for the unjust: that he might offer us to God, being put to death indeed in the flesh, but enlivened in the spirit,
19 anih ak caming thawngim ak tla myihlakhqi venawh cet nawh awi kqawn hy.
In which also coming he preached to those spirits that were in prison:
20 Cekkhqi taw syn awh Nova ing lawng a sak awh awi amak ngai Khawsa ing kawsonaak ing a qeh thlangkhqi ni. Cawh thlang a khoehca, a cuna kqeet, doeng ni tui awhkawng hul na a awm.
Which had been some time incredulous, when they waited for the patience of God in the days of Noe, when the ark was a building: wherein a few, that is, eight souls, were saved by water.
21 Cawhkaw tui cetaw tuh nangmih awm hulnaak na ak awm baptisma huh saknaak na awm hy – pum awhkaw khen a ciimnaak am nawh Khawsa benawh kawpoek caihnaak ingkaw awikamnaak ni. Ce ing Jesu Khrih thawh tlaihnaak ak caming nangmih ce ni hul khqi hy,
Whereunto baptism being of the like form, now saveth you also: not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the examination of a good conscience towards God by the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
22 anih cetaw khan na cet nawh khan ceityihkhqi, sai thainaakkhqi ingkaw boeimangnaakkhqi ing khawsak tang benawh awm hawh hy.
Who is on the right hand of God, swallowing down death, that we might be made heirs of life everlasting: being gone into heaven, the angels and powers and virtues being made subject to him.
