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
Kwa ndila yii, mwenga mwabubile mwalwawa mupalikwa kwipiya kwa akinasengo binu mwabena, ili ata baadhi yabe banaliyikitya li neno, pitya tabia ya akinajumbo babe baweza utilwa bila neno.
2 when they see your pure and reverent demeanor.
kwa sababu balu bene baluwa bona tabia yinu njema pamope na heshima.
3 Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair or gold jewelry or fine clothes,
Yino ipangike siyo kwa mapambo ga panja suka njwili, vito vya dhahabu, au ngubo ya mitindo.
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.
Lakini badala yake mupange kwa utu wa nkati ya mwoyo, na zidi katika goloka ma unyenyekevu na utulivu wa mwoyo ambani wa thamani mbele ya Nn”ungu
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,
Kwa njo alwawo atakatifu bate kwi pamba bene kwa ajili yino. Bibile na imani katika Nn”ungu na bate kawatii akina sengo babe bene.
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.
Kwa ndila yino, sana atikujuawa Ibrahamu na kunkema ywembe “mchengowe” mwenga lelo ni mwabana bake mana mwapanga ganang'oloka na mwana nyogopali mabaya.
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.
Kwa ndila yoyoyo mwenga mwanalume mupalikwa tamaa na akinajumbo binu mutangite panga ni ainu alwawani dhaifu, mwatangite bembe kasi yabe pokya ainu zawadi ya ukoti. Mupange nya ili kwamba luba kwinu kwane mukotoke.
8 Finally, all of you, be like-minded and sympathetic, love as brothers, be tenderhearted and humble.
Hatimaye, mwenga mwaboti, mube na ndelajimo, mwabene huruma, upendo kati mwalongo mwanyenyekevu, na mwapole.
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.
Kwane mulipe kwa mbisi tukana kwa tukana. Nungi yake muyendeli bariki, kwa sababu yino mwatekimelwa, ili kwamba muwese kwipata baraka.
10 For, “Whoever would love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from deceitful speech.
Nyembe ywapala kuoenda maisha no bona lisuba sapi lazima alukilibuye lulime lwake kwa mabaya na mikano yake baya hila.
11 He must turn from evil and do good; he must seek peace and pursue it.
Na agalabuke na aleke masapuino panga gagabile mazuri.
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.”
Mijo ya bwana umona mwene haki na masikio gake kugayuwa maombi gake. Lakini kuminyo ya Bwana kubile kinyume na balu babapanga maovu.
13 Who can harm you if you are zealous for what is good?
Nyai ywapala kudhuru mwe, kanpala tamani lyalibile lizuri.
14 But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. “Do not fear what they fear; do not be shaken.”
Lakini mwana mwateseka kwa haki mubarikiwe, Kwane muyogope galu ambapo bembe banda gayogapa. Kwane mube na sukala.
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,
Badala yake mumeke Kristo Bwana katika mwoyo winu kati mtakatifu kila saa mupetayari kunyangwa kila munduywa nokiya mwenga kwa namari mumwobilya Nn”ungu.
16 keeping a clear conscience, so that those who slander you may be put to shame by your good behavior in Christ.
Mube na dhamini sapi ili panga bandu babatukana maisha ginu mema katika Kristo bawesa aibika lwa sababu balongela kinyume dhidi yinu panga mwabile mwamupanga maovu.
17 For it is better, if it is God’s will, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.
Ni vizuri zaidi mwanaipangite Nn”ungu andapala, kwamba muteseka kwo panga mema kuliko kwo panga mabaya.
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,
Kristo na ywembe atiteseka mara jima kwa ajili ya sambi. Ywembe ambaye ni mwene haki atiteseka kwa ajili yetu ambao twabile twabene haki ili kwamba atulete twenga kwa Nn”ungu.
19 in whom He also went and preached to the spirits in prison
Atiwa katika yiga lakini apangilwa nkoti katika mwoyo. Katika mwoyo atinda no kwa bakiya mwoyo ambao sasa utitabilwa.
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.
Yubile sapili wakati uvumilivu wa Nn”ungu pawabile kaulinda wakatiwa nuhu, lichuba lyabarengesage safina na Nn”ungu atekwaokoa bandu asene nafsi nane buka katika masi.
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,
Yino n alama you batizo wawakombwa mwenga sasa, sio leka usapu buka muyiga, lakini kwo luba dhamini sapi kwa Nn”ungu pitya yuka Yesu Kristo.
22 who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, with angels, authorities, and powers subject to Him.
Nywemba abile luboko lwa nungi kwa Nn”ungu ayei mbinguni. Malaika na ngupu lazima inyue yewmbe.
