Ὁμοίως γυναῖκες ὑποτασσόμεναι τοῖς ἰδίοις ἀνδράσιν, ἵνα καὶ εἴ τινες ἀπειθοῦσιν τῷ λόγῳ διὰ τῆς τῶν γυναικῶν ἀναστροφῆς ἄνευ λόγου κερδηθήσονται
2 Pakuŵa chalole wende wenu yautite kuŵa wambone ni wakuchimbichisya.
ἐποπτεύσαντες τὴν ἐν φόβῳ ἁγνὴν ἀναστροφὴν ὑμῶν.
3 Kulikwatula kwenu, kunaŵe kwa paasa mpela ila kutiŵa umbo yakusimosya ni kuwala indu yekolochekwe kwa sahabu ni kuwalila iwalo ya ndalama jekulungwa.
ὧν ἔστω οὐχ ὁ ἔξωθεν ἐμπλοκῆς τριχῶν καὶ περιθέσεως χρυσίων ἢ ἐνδύσεως ἱματίων κόσμος,
4 Nambo kulikwatula kwenu kuŵe mu ntima, kulikwatula kwangakukomboleka konasika yaani ntima wa kutulala ni wa kulitimalika. Kweleko ni kwakukusachilwa paujo pa Akunnungu.
ἀλλ’ ὁ κρυπτὸς τῆς καρδίας ἄνθρωπος ἐν τῷ ἀφθάρτῳ τοῦ πραέως καὶ ἡσυχίου πνεύματος, ὅ ἐστιν ἐνώπιον τοῦ θεοῦ πολυτελές.
5 Pakuŵa yeleyo ni iŵatite pakulikwatula achakongwe ŵaswela ŵachiikala ŵaŵaŵisile chilolelo chao kwa Akunnungu achajitichisyaga achiŵankwawo.
οὕτως γάρ ποτε καὶ αἱ ἅγιαι γυναῖκες αἱ ἐλπίζουσαι εἰς θεὸν ἐκόσμουν ἑαυτάς, ὑποτασσόμεναι τοῖς ἰδίοις ἀνδράσιν,
6 Mpela che Sala iŵatite pakwajitichisya che Iblahimu ni kwaŵilanga ambuje. Sambano ŵanyamwe nli achiŵali ŵakwe, iŵaga chintende yambone pangali kogopa chachili chose.
ὡς Σάρρα ὑπήκουσεν τῷ Ἀβραάμ, κύριον αὐτὸν καλοῦσα· ἧς ἐγενήθητε τέκνα ἀγαθοποιοῦσαι καὶ μὴ φοβούμεναι μηδεμίαν πτόησιν.
7 Ŵanyamwe achalume, iyoyo peyo ntameje kwa lunda ni achiŵankwenu akuno nchimanyililaga kuti nganakola machili nti ŵanyamwe. Nkusachilwa kwachimbichisya pakuŵa nombewo chapochele ntulilo wa umi pamo ni ŵanyamwe. Mwatendaga yeleyo ngansiŵililwa ni chachili chose pankwapopela Akunnungu.
οἱ ἄνδρες ὁμοίως συνοικοῦντες κατὰ γνῶσιν, ὡς ἀσθενεστέρῳ σκεύει τῷ γυναικείῳ ἀπονέμοντες τιμήν, ὡς καὶ συνκληρονόμοις χάριτος ζωῆς, εἰς τὸ μὴ ἐνκόπτεσθαι τὰς προσευχὰς ὑμῶν.
8 Pakumalichisya, nguti yeleyi, ŵanyamwe wose mmeje ni ng'anisyo simo ni kukamuchisyana ni nnonyelane chiulongo nchikolelanaga chanasa ni kulitulusya mu ntima.
Τὸ δὲ τέλος πάντες ὁμόφρονες, συμπαθεῖς, φιλάδελφοι, εὔσπλαγχνοι, ταπεινόφρονες,
9 Ngasimwauchisya yangalumbana ŵandu ŵakumpanganyichisya yangalumbana pane kutukana mpela yakuti pakuntukana, nambo mwaŵendele upile, pakuŵa ŵanyamwe mwaŵilanjikwe ni Akunnungu kuti mpochele upile.
μὴ ἀποδιδόντες κακὸν ἀντὶ κακοῦ ἢ λοιδορίαν ἀντὶ λοιδορίας, τοὐναντίον δὲ εὐλογοῦντες, ὅτι εἰς τοῦτο ἐκλήθητε ἵνα εὐλογίαν κληρονομήσητε.
10 Mpela igakuti kusala Malembelo ga Akunnungu, “Jwakusaka kuunonyela umi, Ni kuliwona lyuŵa lyambone, Alusiŵile lulimi lukaŵecheta yangalumbana, Ni kang'wa jikaŵecheta yakulambusya.
ὁ γὰρ θέλων ζωὴν ἀγαπᾶν καὶ ἰδεῖν ἡμέρας ἀγαθὰς παυσάτω τὴν γλῶσσαν ἀπὸ κακοῦ καὶ χείλη τοῦ μὴ λαλῆσαι δόλον,
11 Aisepuche yangalumbana, atende yambone, achisose chitendewele kwa ntima wakwe wose ni kuchikuya.
ἐκκλινάτω ἀπὸ κακοῦ καὶ ποιησάτω ἀγαθόν, ζητησάτω εἰρήνην καὶ διωξάτω αὐτήν,
12 Pakuŵa Ambuje akwagosa ŵandu ŵambone ŵakwanonyelesya ni kugapilikanichisya mapopelo gao, nambo akwakanila aŵala ŵakutenda yangalumbana.”
ὅτι ὀφθαλμοὶ κυρίου ἐπὶ δικαίους καὶ ὦτα αὐτοῦ εἰς δέησιν αὐτῶν, πρόσωπον δὲ κυρίου ἐπὶ ποιοῦντας κακά.
13 Ana nduni juchampoteche, mwalimbilaga kutendekanya yambone?
Καὶ τίς ὁ κακώσων ὑμᾶς ἐὰν τοῦ ἀγαθοῦ ζηλωταὶ γένησθε;
14 Nambo nachiŵamuno nkupotekwa kwa ligongo lya kupanganya yaili yambone paujo pa Akunnungu, nkwete upile. Ngasimunjogopa mundu jwalijose, atamuno ngasimma ni lipamba.
ἀλλ’ εἰ καὶ πάσχοιτε διὰ δικαιοσύνην, μακάριοι. τὸν δὲ φόβον αὐτῶν μὴ φοβηθῆτε μηδὲ ταραχθῆτε,
15 Nambo mwalambe Kilisito mmitima jenu pakuŵa ali Ambuje. Ntameje chile kunjanga mundu jwalijose jwakummusya yankati chilolelo chachili nkati mwenu.
κύριον δὲ τὸν Χριστὸν ἁγιάσατε ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις ὑμῶν, ἕτοιμοι ἀεὶ πρὸς ἀπολογίαν παντὶ τῷ αἰτοῦντι ὑμᾶς λόγον περὶ τῆς ἐν ὑμῖν ἐλπίδος, ἀλλὰ μετὰ πραΰτητος καὶ φόβου,
16 Nambo ntende yeleyo kwa chitungato ni luchimbichimbi. Mme ni ntima wangaukulosya kuti nli ni sambi, kuti ŵele ŵakunnamanila ni kuntukana nkati wende wenu wambone nkulumbikana kwenu ni Kilisito jatende soni.
συνείδησιν ἔχοντες ἀγαθήν, ἵνα ἐν ᾧ καταλαλεῖσθε καταισχυνθῶσιν οἱ ἐπηρεάζοντες ὑμῶν τὴν ἀγαθὴν ἐν Χριστῷ ἀναστροφήν.
17 Pakuŵa mmbaya kusauswa kwa ligongo lya kutenda yambone, iŵaga lili lisosa lya Akunnungu, kupunda kusauswa kwa ligongo lya kutenda yangalumbana.
κρεῖττον γὰρ ἀγαθοποιοῦντας, εἰ θέλοι τὸ θέλημα τοῦ θεοῦ, πάσχειν ἢ κακοποιοῦντας.
18 Pakuŵa Kilisito asyene ŵawile kamo pe kwa ligongo lya sambi syenu, mundu jwambone paujo pa Akunnungu ŵasawiche ni kuwa kwa ligongo lya ŵandu ŵangalumbana, kuti anjigale mwanya kwa Akunnungu. Ŵaulajikwe chiilu nambo ŵatendekwe ŵajumi kwa ukombole wa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.
ὅτι καὶ Χριστὸς ἅπαξ περὶ ἁμαρτιῶν ἀπέθανεν, δίκαιος ὑπὲρ ἀδίκων, ἵνα ὑμᾶς προσαγάγῃ τῷ θεῷ, θανατωθεὶς μὲν σαρκὶ ζῳοποιηθεὶς δὲ πνεύματι·
19 Kwa litala lya Mbumu jwa Akunnungu jo ŵajawile kweleko kukusilalichila asila mbumu syasili mchitaŵiko.
ἐν ᾧ καὶ τοῖς ἐν φυλακῇ πνεύμασιν πορευθεὶς ἐκήρυξεν,
20 Syelesyo sili mbumu sya ŵandu ŵakanile kwajitichisya Akunnungu kalakala, paŵalindililaga nkupililila katema che Nuhu paŵakolosyaga ngalaŵa jajikulungwa jajikuŵilanjikwa safina. Nkati mwa chelecho ŵandu kanandi pe, yaani ŵandu nane, ŵakulupwiche mmeesi.
ἀπειθήσασίν ποτε ὅτε ἀπεξεδέχετο ἡ τοῦ θεοῦ μακροθυμία ἐν ἡμέραις Νῶε κατασκευαζομένης κιβωτοῦ, εἰς ἣν ὀλίγοι, τοῦτ’ ἔστιν ὀκτὼ ψυχαί, διεσώθησαν δι’ ὕδατος.

Wele ubatiso uli ngaŵa kwa ligongo lya kutyochesya likaku lya pa chiilu, nambo nti lilangano lyaliŵichikwe kwa Akunnungu lyalikutendekwa mu ntima waukulosya kuti nganitukola sambi. Nombe ubatiso wo ukunkulupusya ŵanyamwe kwa litala lya kusyuka ku Che Yesu Kilisito,
ὃ καὶ ὑμᾶς ἀντίτυπον νῦν σῴζει βάπτισμα, οὐ σαρκὸς ἀπόθεσις ῥύπου ἀλλὰ συνειδήσεως ἀγαθῆς ἐπερώτημα εἰς θεόν, δι’ ἀναστάσεως Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ,

ὅς ἐστιν ἐν δεξιᾷ θεοῦ, πορευθεὶς εἰς οὐρανόν, ὑποταγέντων αὐτῷ ἀγγέλων καὶ ἐξουσιῶν καὶ δυνάμεων.
