1 Peter 3
1 Wives, in the same way, submit yourselves to your husbands, so that even if they refuse to believe the word, they will be won over without words by the behavior of their wives
Iyoyo ŵanyamwe achakongwe ŵannombilwe, mwajitichisye achiŵankwenu, kuti iŵaga kwana ŵampepe mwa ŵelewo ŵangakulikulupilila Liloŵe lya Akunnungu, apatanje kukulupilila kwa kuuwona wende wenu, pangaasalila chachili chose.
2 when they see your pure and reverent demeanor.
Pakuŵa chalole wende wenu yautite kuŵa wambone ni wakuchimbichisya.
3 Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair or gold jewelry or fine clothes,
Kulikwatula kwenu, kunaŵe kwa paasa mpela ila kutiŵa umbo yakusimosya ni kuwala indu yekolochekwe kwa sahabu ni kuwalila iwalo ya ndalama jekulungwa.
4 but from the inner disposition of your heart, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in God’s sight.
Nambo kulikwatula kwenu kuŵe mu ntima, kulikwatula kwangakukomboleka konasika yaani ntima wa kutulala ni wa kulitimalika. Kweleko ni kwakukusachilwa paujo pa Akunnungu.
5 For this is how the holy women of the past adorned themselves. They put their hope in God and were submissive to their husbands,
Pakuŵa yeleyo ni iŵatite pakulikwatula achakongwe ŵaswela ŵachiikala ŵaŵaŵisile chilolelo chao kwa Akunnungu achajitichisyaga achiŵankwawo.
6 just as Sarah obeyed Abraham and called him lord. And you are her children if you do what is right and refuse to give way to fear.
Mpela che Sala iŵatite pakwajitichisya che Iblahimu ni kwaŵilanga ambuje. Sambano ŵanyamwe nli achiŵali ŵakwe, iŵaga chintende yambone pangali kogopa chachili chose.
7 Husbands, in the same way, treat your wives with consideration as a delicate vessel, and with honor as fellow heirs of the gracious gift of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered.
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.
8 Finally, all of you, be like-minded and sympathetic, love as brothers, be tenderhearted and humble.
Pakumalichisya, nguti yeleyi, ŵanyamwe wose mmeje ni ng'anisyo simo ni kukamuchisyana ni nnonyelane chiulongo nchikolelanaga chanasa ni kulitulusya mu ntima.
9 Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.
Ngasimwauchisya yangalumbana ŵandu ŵakumpanganyichisya yangalumbana pane kutukana mpela yakuti pakuntukana, nambo mwaŵendele upile, pakuŵa ŵanyamwe mwaŵilanjikwe ni Akunnungu kuti mpochele upile.
10 For, “Whoever would love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from deceitful speech.
Mpela igakuti kusala Malembelo ga Akunnungu, “Jwakusaka kuunonyela umi, Ni kuliwona lyuŵa lyambone, Alusiŵile lulimi lukaŵecheta yangalumbana, Ni kang'wa jikaŵecheta yakulambusya.
11 He must turn from evil and do good; he must seek peace and pursue it.
Aisepuche yangalumbana, atende yambone, achisose chitendewele kwa ntima wakwe wose ni kuchikuya.
12 For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are inclined to their prayer. But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”
Pakuŵa Ambuje akwagosa ŵandu ŵambone ŵakwanonyelesya ni kugapilikanichisya mapopelo gao, nambo akwakanila aŵala ŵakutenda yangalumbana.”
13 Who can harm you if you are zealous for what is good?
Ana nduni juchampoteche, mwalimbilaga kutendekanya yambone?
14 But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. “Do not fear what they fear; do not be shaken.”
Nambo nachiŵamuno nkupotekwa kwa ligongo lya kupanganya yaili yambone paujo pa Akunnungu, nkwete upile. Ngasimunjogopa mundu jwalijose, atamuno ngasimma ni lipamba.
15 But in your hearts sanctify Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give a defense to everyone who asks you the reason for the hope that is in you. But respond with gentleness and respect,
Nambo mwalambe Kilisito mmitima jenu pakuŵa ali Ambuje. Ntameje chile kunjanga mundu jwalijose jwakummusya yankati chilolelo chachili nkati mwenu.
16 keeping a clear conscience, so that those who slander you may be put to shame by your good behavior in Christ.
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.
17 For it is better, if it is God’s will, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.
Pakuŵa mmbaya kusauswa kwa ligongo lya kutenda yambone, iŵaga lili lisosa lya Akunnungu, kupunda kusauswa kwa ligongo lya kutenda yangalumbana.
18 For Christ also suffered for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive in the Spirit,
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.
19 in whom He also went and preached to the spirits in prison
Kwa litala lya Mbumu jwa Akunnungu jo ŵajawile kweleko kukusilalichila asila mbumu syasili mchitaŵiko.
20 who disobeyed long ago when God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ark was being built. In the ark a few people, only eight souls, were saved through water.
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.
21 And this water symbolizes the baptism that now saves you also—not the removal of dirt from the body, but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God—through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
Ni meesi go gali chimanyisyo cha ubatiso waukunkulupusya sambano ji. 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,
22 who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, with angels, authorities, and powers subject to Him.
ŵajawile kwinani ni sambano atemi peuto pakuchimbichikwa kundyo kwa Akunnungu, akwalongosya achikatumetume ŵa kwinani ni achakulu ni ŵaali ni ukombole wekulungwa wa kwinani.
A Dove is Sent Forth from the Ark
