1 Peter 3
1 Likewise, wives, [be] subject to your own husbands, that, even if any are disobedient to the word, they may be gained without [the] word by the conversation of the wives,
hE yOSitaH, yUyamapi nijasvAminAM vazyA bhavata tathA sati yadi kEcid vAkyE vizvAsinO na santi tarhi
2 having witnessed your pure conversation [carried out] in fear;
tE vinAvAkyaM yOSitAm AcArENArthatastESAM pratyakSENa yuSmAkaM sabhayasatItvAcArENAkraSTuM zakSyantE|
3 whose adorning let it not be that outward one of tressing of hair, and wearing gold, or putting on apparel;
aparaM kEzaracanayA svarNAlagkAradhAraNOna paricchadaparidhAnEna vA yuSmAkaM vAhyabhUSA na bhavatu,
4 but the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptible [ornament] of a meek and quiet spirit, which in the sight of God is of great price.
kintvIzvarasya sAkSAd bahumUlyakSamAzAntibhAvAkSayaratnEna yuktO gupta AntarikamAnava Eva|
5 For thus also the holy women who have hoped in God heretofore adorned themselves, being subject to their own husbands;
yataH pUrvvakAlE yAH pavitrastriya IzvarE pratyAzAmakurvvan tA api tAdRzImEva bhUSAM dhArayantyO nijasvAminAM vazyA abhavan|
6 as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord; whose children ye have become, doing good, and not fearing with any kind of consternation.
tathaiva sArA ibrAhImO vazyA satI taM patimAkhyAtavatI yUyanjca yadi sadAcAriNyO bhavatha vyAkulatayA ca bhItA na bhavatha tarhi tasyAH kanyA AdhvE|
7 [Ye] husbands likewise, dwell with [them] according to knowledge, as with a weaker, [even] the female, vessel, giving [them] honour, as also fellow-heirs of [the] grace of life, that your prayers be not hindered.
hE puruSAH, yUyaM jnjAnatO durbbalatarabhAjanairiva yOSidbhiH sahavAsaM kuruta, Ekasya jIvanavarasya sahabhAginIbhyatAbhyaH samAdaraM vitarata ca na cEd yuSmAkaM prArthanAnAM bAdhA janiSyatE|
8 Finally, [be] all of one mind, sympathising, full of brotherly love, tender hearted, humble minded;
vizESatO yUyaM sarvva EkamanasaH paraduHkhai rduHkhitA bhrAtRpramiNaH kRpAvantaH prItibhAvAzca bhavata|
9 not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing; but on the contrary, blessing [others], because ye have been called to this, that ye should inherit blessing.
aniSTasya parizOdhEnAniSTaM nindAyA vA parizOdhEna nindAM na kurvvanta AziSaM datta yatO yUyam AziradhikAriNO bhavitumAhUtA iti jAnItha|
10 For he that will love life and see good days, let him cause his tongue to cease from evil and his lips that they speak no guile.
aparanjca, jIvanE prIyamANO yaH sudinAni didRkSatE| pApAt jihvAM mRSAvAkyAt svAdharau sa nivarttayEt|
11 And let him avoid evil, and do good; let him seek peace and pursue it;
sa tyajEd duSTatAmArgaM satkriyAnjca samAcarEt| mRgayANazca zAntiM sa nityamEvAnudhAvatu|
12 because [the] eyes of [the] Lord [are] on [the] righteous, and his ears towards their supplications; but [the] face of [the] Lord [is] against them that do evil.
lOcanE paramEzasyOnmIlitE dhArmmikAn prati| prArthanAyAH kRtE tESAH tacchrOtrE sugamE sadA| krOdhAsyanjca parEzasya kadAcAriSu varttatE|
13 And who shall injure you if ye have become imitators of that which [is] good?
aparaM yadi yUyam uttamasyAnugAminO bhavatha tarhi kO yuSmAn hiMsiSyatE?
14 But if also ye should suffer for righteousness' sake, blessed [are ye]; but be not afraid of their fear, neither be troubled;
yadi ca dharmmArthaM klizyadhvaM tarhi dhanyA bhaviSyatha| tESAm AzagkayA yUyaM na bibhIta na vigkta vA|
15 but sanctify [the] Lord the Christ in your hearts, and [be] always prepared to [give] an answer [to] every one that asks you to give an account of the hope that [is] in you, but with meekness and fear;
manObhiH kintu manyadhvaM pavitraM prabhumIzvaraM| aparanjca yuSmAkam AntarikapratyAzAyAstattvaM yaH kazcit pRcchati tasmai zAntibhItibhyAm uttaraM dAtuM sadA susajjA bhavata|
16 having a good conscience, that [as to that] in which they speak against you as evildoers, they may be ashamed who calumniate your good conversation in Christ.
yE ca khrISTadharmmE yuSmAkaM sadAcAraM dUSayanti tE duSkarmmakAriNAmiva yuSmAkam apavAdEna yat lajjitA bhavEyustadarthaM yuSmAkam uttamaH saMvEdO bhavatu|
17 For [it is] better, if the will of God should will it, to suffer [as] well-doers than [as] evildoers;
IzvarasyAbhimatAd yadi yuSmAbhiH klEzaH sOPhavyastarhi sadAcAribhiH klEzasahanaM varaM na ca kadAcAribhiH|
18 for Christ indeed has once suffered for sins, [the] just for [the] unjust, that he might bring us to God; being put to death in flesh, but made alive in [the] Spirit,
yasmAd Izvarasya sannidhim asmAn AnEtum adhArmmikANAM vinimayEna dhArmmikaH khrISTO 'pyEkakRtvaH pApAnAM daNPaM bhuktavAn, sa ca zarIrasambandhE mAritaH kintvAtmanaH sambandhE puna rjIvitO 'bhavat|
19 in which also going he preached to the spirits [which are] in prison,
tatsambandhE ca sa yAtrAM vidhAya kArAbaddhAnAm AtmanAM samIpE vAkyaM ghOSitavAn|
20 heretofore disobedient, when the longsuffering of God waited in [the] days of Noah while the ark was preparing, into which few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water:
purA nOhasya samayE yAvat pOtO niramIyata tAvad Izvarasya dIrghasahiSNutA yadA vyalambata tadA tE'nAjnjAgrAhiNO'bhavan| tEna pOtOnAlpE'rthAd aSTAvEva prANinastOyam uttIrNAH|
21 which figure also now saves you, [even] baptism, not a putting away of [the] filth of flesh, but [the] demand as before God of a good conscience, by [the] resurrection of Jesus Christ,
tannidarzananjcAvagAhanaM (arthataH zArIrikamalinatAyA yastyAgaH sa nahi kintvIzvarAyOttamasaMvEdasya yA pratajnjA saiva) yIzukhrISTasya punarutthAnEnEdAnIm asmAn uttArayati,
22 who is at [the] right hand of God, gone into heaven, angels and authorities and powers being subjected to him.
yataH sa svargaM gatvEzvarasya dakSiNE vidyatE svargIyadUtAH zAsakA balAni ca tasya vazIbhUtA abhavan|
A Dove is Sent Forth from the Ark
