1 Peter 3
1 Chutima chun, nangho ji numei hon napasalteu thuneina chu kisan uvin. Chutengleh, amaho lah a Kipana Thupha joplou aum tah jongleh, thuchenga seilouva na Pathen ngaisahnau navetsah uchun thu aseijoh ding ahi. Amaho nathujona ding uchu,
In the same way you wives must be submissive to your own husbands; so that if some of them will not believe the message, they may apart from the message be won over by the behavior of their wives,
2 Nanghon thenna le jana hinkho naman'u amuuva kon hiding ahi.
when they see how pure and reverent you are.
3 Polam hoina khohsahnan sampheh a kijep hoi, thil mantam sana khi-o ahilouleh ponsil hoi hoa kijem ding gelkhoh hih un.
Your adornment ought not to be the outward adornment of plaited hair and golden jewels and the wearing of beautiful dresses;
4 Nangho sunggila kona hoina, chultheilou lungneng le thip khen cha um, hichea chu nakijep joh dingu ahi, hichu Pathena dinga manlutah ahi.
but rather that hidden personality of the heart, the imperishable ornament of a quiet and gentle spirit, which in the sight of God is indeed precious.
5 Hiche hi malai numei theng masa ho amaho tah akijep hoinau chu anahi. Amahon Pathen atahsanun chule ajipateu thuneina chu anakisan u ahi.
For in this way in the olden time the holy women also, who put their trust in God, used to adorn themselves. They were ever in submission to their own husbands;
6 Avetsahnan, Sarah chu ajipa Abraham, thun anungin, chule ajipa chu ka-pakai tin akouve. Najipa teuvin ipi ahinbol dingu kichatna neilou hel'a nanghon thilpha chu naboluva ahileh ama chanute nahiu ahi.
thus, for example, Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. And you are daughters of Sarah, if you do what is right, and permit nothing to make you afraid.
7 Hitobangma chun, pasal nanghon najinu teu jabolun. Nijinu teu chuto umkhom'a nahiu toh kilhon in hetkhen themna neijin bolun. Ama nangho sanga thalhomjo hitheinante, hinlah Pathen in hinkho thah a hinkho naman khompi dinga napeh-u chu ahi. Nataonau adal louna dingin amaho chu nabolna dingdola chun bolin.
In the same way you husbands live with your wives, according to knowledge, honoring your wife as of the weaker sex, yet as an heir with yourself of the grace of life; so that your prayers may not be hindered.
8 Achainakeiyin, nangho jouse lungkhat kisauvin. Khatle khat kigelkhohto uvin. Sopi hina in kingailu touvin. Lungneng unlang chule kineosah cheh un.
Finally, you should all be harmonious, sympathetic, loving as brothers, tender-hearted, humble-minded;
9 Setna chu asen lethuh hih un. Mihon najumso tenguleh jumso kitna ding lunggel hih un. Hisang chun phattheiboh jouvin. Hichu Pathen in nabol dinga nakouna chu ahi, chule Aman hiche jal a chu phatthei naboh ding ahi.
not paying back evil for evil or abuse for abuse, but on the contrary giving a blessing. Because for this you have been called - to inherit a blessing.
10 Ajehchu, Pathen Thubun asei chu, “Nangman hinkho chu nakipapia, nikho kipa um tampi namu noma ahileh, naleigui chu thilse seinaa konin kihuh tup in, thilpha bolin chule namuh chu jou seina a konin kikangsen.
He who would love life and enjoy happy days, Let him keep his tongue from evil, And his lips from speaking guile;
11 Thil phalouva konin kiheimangin, chule thilpha chu bol in.
Let him turn from evil and do good, Let him seek peace, and pursue it.
12 Thildih bolho chu Pakaiyin ntin a avetsui ahi, chule ataonau ngaina in anakol asung jinge. Hinlah Pakai chun thilse bol ho dounaa amai angat jing ahi.”
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 set against evil-doers.
13 Tun, nanghon thilpha nabol nomuva ahileh koiham nasugim dinguva?
Yet who will harm you if you become zealous for the good?
14 Thildih boljeh a hahsatna nato tah uva ahijongleh, Pathen in hichea chu nale thuhding ahi. Hijehchun, amaho gihsal jeh chun lung himo ahilouleh kichat bol hih un.
But even if you should suffer in behalf of righteousness, you are happy. Do not be afraid of their terror, neither be troubled.
15 Chusanga nangman Christa chu nahinkhoa Pakaiya nanei ding hiya ahi. Chule koiham khat'in na-Christian hina anakinepna thudol chu nadoh a ahileh hilchenin.
But consecrate Christ in your hearts, as Lord. Be always in readiness to make and answer to any one who asks you a reason for the hope that is within you, yet with gentleness and reverence.
16 Hinlah hiche hi lungneng le jatheiyin bolin. Selepha nahetna chu thengin koiyin. Chua chu mihon nangho douna a thu aseiyuva ahileh amahon Christa a nahijeh uva hinkho phatah naman chu amu tenguleh jahcha dingu ahi.
See that you have a clear conscience, so that, although they speak of you as evil-doers, these libelers of your good Christian lives may be ashamed.
17 Geldoh in, thilphalou boljeh a gimthoh sanga chu, thilpha bol jeh a gimthoh chu Pathen deilam ahijoi.
For it is better that you suffer for doing right, if such be God’s will, than for doing wrong;
18 Christa chun a-itih a dinga khatvei athohgim ahi. Ama achonse khapoi, hinlah ama Pathen kom a chu bit keicha lhun theina dinga chonseho jeh a thia ahi. Aman tahsa tah a thina ato ahin, hinlah Ama Lhagaova kaithouva uma hingdoh kit ahi.
because Christ also once for all suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God. He was put to death in the flesh, but make alive in spirit.
19 Hiti chun, Ama gachea lhagao songkul'a kihenho koma aga seiphong ahitai.
(It was in spirit that he went and preached the Word to the spirits who were in prison,
20 Amaho hi masanglai peh a Noah chun kong anasui laiya Pathen in thoh hattah'a anga laiya Pathen thua nung louva ahiuve. Hiche tijat umtah twisanglet'a lhah lhumna dinga kona chu mi get bou sohchaa ahiuve.
who in old times had been disobedient, when God’s longsuffering was waiting in the days of Noah, while an ark was building, in which a few persons - eight in number - were saved by water.)
21 Chule hiche twi chu baptize chan vetsahna ahi, hichun tua hi nahuhhingu ahi, tipuma anen pailhahna hilouva, Pathen lama selepha hetna kichehna ding ahi. Yeshua Christa thodoh kit jal a hichun na atoh ahiye.
Baptism, the counterpart of that, now saves you (not the washing off of the filth of the flesh, but the prayer for a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
22 Tun Christa chu van'a gachea ahitan, Ama Pathen bantah a jabol channa muna touva ahitai, chule Vantilte le athuneiho chule thaneiho jousen Ama thuneina asangun ahi.
He is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; to Him angels and authorities and powers have been made subject.
