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
Abakazi abafumbo, mu ngeri y’emu muwulirenga babbammwe, bwe waba nga waliwo abatagondera kigambo kya Katonda, balyoke baleetebwe mu kukkiriza olw’empisa zammwe ennungi ne bwe muba nga temuliiko kye mubagambye.
2 when they see your pure and reverent demeanor.
Kubanga bajja kulaba empisa zammwe ennungi nga mubassaamu ekitiibwa.
3 Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair or gold jewelry or fine clothes,
Okweyonja kwammwe kulemenga kuba kwa kungulu: nga mu misono gy’enviiri n’egy’amajjolobera ag’ebyo ebyambalwa mu bulago ne ku matu, n’egy’ebyambalo.
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.
Naye kube kwa mu mutima munda; okweyonja okutayonooneka okw’omwoyo omuwombeefu era omuteefu, era okwo kwe kw’omuwendo ennyo mu maaso ga Katonda.
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,
Kubanga n’abakazi ab’edda abatukuvu abaasuubiriranga mu Katonda, bwe batyo bwe beeyonjanga era nga bawulize eri ba bbaabwe.
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.
Saala bw’atyo bwe yali; yawuliranga nnyo Ibulayimu, ng’amussaamu ekitiibwa ng’amuyita mukama we. Kale obanga mwagala okuba bawala ba Saala, mubenga ba mpisa nnungi, olwo tewaabengawo kibatiisa kyonna.
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.
Nammwe abasajja abafumbo, mutegeere nga bakazi bammwe banafu, noolwekyo mubakwatenga n’obwegendereza. Era mubassengamu ekitiibwa nga mumanyi nga nabo Katonda alibaweera wamu nammwe, obulamu obutaggwaawo. Bwe munaakolanga bwe mutyo okusaba kwammwe tekuziyizibwenga.
8 Finally, all of you, be like-minded and sympathetic, love as brothers, be tenderhearted and humble.
Eky’enkomerero, mwenna mubenga n’emmeeme emu, buli omu alumirirwenga munne, era mwagalanenga ng’abooluganda ddala, mubenga ba kisa era beetoowaze.
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.
Temuwooleranga ggwanga. Abavumye, mmwe temumuvumanga. Wabula mumusabirenga mukisa, kubanga ekyo kye mwayitirwa, mulyoke muweebwe omukisa.
10 For, “Whoever would love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from deceitful speech.
Kubanga ekyawandiikibwa kigamba nti, “Ayagala okufuna obulamu n’okubeera mu ddembe, aziyizenga olulimi lwe okwogera ekibi, n’emimwa gye okwogera ebyobukuusa.
11 He must turn from evil and do good; he must seek peace and pursue it.
Era yeewalenga okukola ebibi, akolenga ebirungi. Anoonyenga emirembe era atambulirenga mu gyo.
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.”
Kubanga abatuukirivu Mukama abatunuulira n’ekisa, n’amatu ge gawuliriza bye basaba. Kyokka aboonoonyi abatunuuliza bukambwe.”
13 Who can harm you if you are zealous for what is good?
Bwe munaafubanga okukola ekituufu, ani anaabakolanga akabi?
14 But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. “Do not fear what they fear; do not be shaken.”
Naye era ne bwe munaabonyaabonyezebwanga olw’obutuukirivu, mulina omukisa. “Temutya bye batya; temutekemuka.”
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,
Mutyenga Mukama waffe Kristo mu mitima gyammwe. Era bulijjo mubenga beetegefu okuddamu buli ababuuza okunnyonnyola essuubi lyammwe,
16 keeping a clear conscience, so that those who slander you may be put to shame by your good behavior in Christ.
era muddengamu n’obuwombeefu, awamu n’eggonjebwa. Mubenga ba mutima mulungi, abo ababavuma era ababoogerako ekibi olw’empisa zammwe ennungi olw’okuba nga muli ba Kristo, balyoke baswale.
17 For it is better, if it is God’s will, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.
Okubonyaabonyezebwanga olw’okukola obulungi, bwe kuba nga kwe kusiima kwa Katonda, kusinga okubonyaabonyezebwa olw’okukola ekibi.
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,
Kubanga ddala Kristo yabonyaabonyezebwa olw’ebibi omulundi gumu, Omuntu Omutuukirivu ku lw’abatali batuukirivu, alyoke abaleete eri Katonda bwe yattibwa mu mubiri, kyokka n’abeera mulamu mu mwoyo.
19 in whom He also went and preached to the spirits in prison
Era omwoyo gwe, gwe gwagenda okubuulira Enjiri emyoyo egyali mu kkomera.
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.
Egyo gy’emyoyo egy’abo edda abaagaana okuwulira Katonda ng’akyabagumiikiriza, mu kiseera Nuuwa kye yazimbiramu eryato, abantu abatono, omunaana gwokka, mwe baawonyezebwa amazzi.
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,
Amazzi ago gaali kabonero ak’okubatizibwa mulyoke mulokolebwe kaakano. Kubanga okubatizibwa tekitegeeza kunaazibwako kko lya mubiri, wabula kitegeeza kwewaayo eri Katonda nga tumaliridde okukola by’ayagala, ng’atuwadde omutima omulongoofu olw’okuzuukira kwa Yesu Kristo,
22 who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, with angels, authorities, and powers subject to Him.
eyalinnya mu ggulu era atudde ku mukono ogwa ddyo ogwa Katonda, ng’afuga bamalayika n’aboobuyinza, n’abaamaanyi ab’omu ggulu.
