1 Peter 3
1 In like manner also let wives be subject to their husbands: that if any believe not the word, they may be won without the word, by the conversation of the wives.
Muleyi nzila, inywebo nobamakaintu amulibombye kubalumi benu. Amuchite obu nikuba kuli bala balumi batateleli kujwi, kuchitila kuti basanduke babule zyakwamba, kwinda mumichito yabamakaintu babo,
2 Considering your chaste conversation with fear.
banoli baba bakamboni kuchilemeko chenu, enjendelo yenu mbotu.
3 Whose adorning let it not be the outward plaiting of the hair, or the wearing of gold, or the putting on of apparel:
Echi ngachichitwe pepe akulibotya-botya kwaanze mbuli kulilungitizya masusu, kuzwata ngolida atumwi tukumba, nikuba kulisamika mpasya zityola myoyo yabamwi.
4 But the hidden man of the heart in the incorruptibility of a quiet and a meek spirit, which is rich in the sight of God.
Pesi, echi ngachichitwe amuntu wamukati wamumoyo, abubotu butagoli butontolela amuuya wachumunizi, kachili nchechibotu kunembo lya-Leza.
5 For after this manner heretofore the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands:
Nkambo obu mbombubo banakazi basalali bechiindi bakali kulangila Leza mbuba kalisamika, kwinda mukulibombya kubalumi babo.
6 As Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters you are, doing well, and not fearing any disturbance.
Enzila njiyeeyi Sala wakalibombya kuli Abbulahamu alubo wakali kumwita kuti mba Simwami. Lino nywebo mwaba bana bakwe kapati na mwachita zibotu alubo na kamutayowi mapenzi.
7 Ye husbands, likewise dwelling with them according to knowledge, giving honour to the female as to the weaker vessel, and as to the co-heirs of the grace of life: that your prayers be not hindered.
Kakukozyania, anywebo nobalumi mulelede kupona kabotu abamakaintu benu mbuli mbomuzi kuti mwanakazi, ulimbuli chilongo chitasimide. Mulelede kubapa bulemo mbuli basikulyanyokwe lukono kubululami bwamuluzyalo. Amuchite obo kuti inkombyo zyenu zitambulike.
8 And in fine, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, being lovers of the brotherhood, merciful, modest, humble:
Kumamanino, monseeni, amube amuzeezo ukozyenie, mube akwetelelana, kuyandana mbuli babunyina, amoyo mutete, akulibombya.
9 Not rendering evil for evil, nor railing for railing, but contrariwise, blessing: for unto this are you called, that you may inherit a blessing.
Mutabwedezyi chitaluleme kuchibinyina nikuba kubwedezya chisapi kuchisapi. Anukuti amubwedezye kulongezya, nkambo ezi nzimwakaitilwa, kuti mukakonzye kuyokona zilongezyo.
10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile.
“Oyo uyanda kubona buumi bubotu akubona mazuba mabotu uyelede kuti wakasya lulimi amulomo wakwe kukwambula chalweeno.
11 Let him decline from evil, and do good: let him seek after peace and pursue it:
Akube kuti alilesye kububi akunochita zibotu kupela. Ayandule lumuuno akulutobela.
12 Because the eyes of the Lord are upon the just, and his ears unto their prayers: but the countenance of the Lord upon them that do evil things.
Nkambo meso a Mwami alabona baluleme, alubo matwi akwe alatelela kunkombyo zyabaluleme. Pesi busyu bwa Mwami bulabukali kulibabo bachita zibi.”
13 And who is he that can hurt you, if you be zealous of good?
Kabi ngwani oyo unga ulamubisizya na mwasungwala kukuchita zibotu?
14 But if also you suffer any thing for justice’ sake, blessed are ye. And be not afraid of their fear, and be not troubled.
Pele na mwachiswa nkambo kabululami, mulilongezezegwe. Mutayowi ezyo nzibayowa. Mutakalikatazyi.
15 But sanctify the Lord Christ in your hearts, being ready always to satisfy every one that asketh you a reason of that hope which is in you.
Pesi, ngamulemeke Mwami Kkilisito kuti musalali mumyoyo yenu. Mukkale kamuli bambilide kuti mukapandulwide boonse bamubuzya makani alusyomo ndomulalo -
16 But with modesty and fear, having a good conscience: that whereas they speak evil of you, they may be ashamed who falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.
Alubo, amukulibombya amukulemeka. Amube amuzezo mubotu kuchitila kuti abo bamutukilila buumi bubotu bwamuli Kkilisito bakawuse insoni nkambo banoli bakali kumwambula anga ndinywe basizibi.
17 For it is better doing well (if such be the will of God) to suffer, than doing ill.
Nchibotu loko, kuti kakuli nkuyanda kwa Leza, kuti mukachiswe akambo kakuchita zibotu kwinda kunochita zibi.
18 Because Christ also died once for our sins, the just for the unjust: that he might offer us to God, being put to death indeed in the flesh, but enlivened in the spirit,
Alakwe Kkilisito wakachiswa lomwe kachisilwa zibi. Oyo wakaluleme wakatuchisilwa nitwakataluleme pe, kuchitila kuti atuswenzye kuli Leza. Wakatufwida kunyama, pesi wakabusigwa a-Muuya.
19 In which also coming he preached to those spirits that were in prison:
Kwinda ku Muuya, wakinka akuyokambawuka kumyuuya eyo ili muntolongo kwalino.
20 Which had been some time incredulous, when they waited for the patience of God in the days of Noe, when the ark was a building: wherein a few, that is, eight souls, were saved by water.
Eyo yakatatelela pe kuchindi nchakachili kukazika moyo wakwe Leza mumazuba aa-Nowa, mumazuba akuyakwa kwabwato, mpawo Leza wakavuna bantu bache buyo - myuuya musanu amwitaatu - kwinda mumanzi.
21 Whereunto baptism being of the like form, now saveth you also: not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the examination of a good conscience towards God by the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Echi nchitondezyo chamubbabbatizyo oyo umuvuna lino - takwensi kwamba kuti mbuli mbotusamba tombe amubili pe, pesi nkokuti mulayandula manjezezya mabotu mumeso a Leza - kwinda mububuke bwa Jesu Kkilisito.
22 Who is on the right hand of God, swallowing down death, that we might be made heirs of life everlasting: being gone into heaven, the angels and powers and virtues being made subject to him.
Kkilisito ulikujanza lyalulyo lwa Leza. Wakaya kujulu. Bangelo, bendelezi, abasimanguzu boonse balelede kulibombya kuli nguwe.
