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.
Kwa nj'hela ej'he, muenga ambabho ndo bhadala mwilondeka kwih'omesya kwa bhagosi bhinu mwej'homu, ili hata kama bhaadhi j'ha bhene bhabelili kulitii lilobhi, kup'hetela tabia sya bhadala bhabhi bhibhwesya kufutibhwa bila litobhi.
2 Considering your chaste conversation with fear.
Kwa ndabha bhene bhibekuj'ha bhaj'hibhwene tabia j'hinu j'hinofu pamonga ni litengo.
3 Whose adorning let it not be the outward plaiting of the hair, or the wearing of gold, or the putting on of apparel:
Ej'he j'hibhombeka j'hi sio kwa mapambo gha kwibhala—-kusuka njwili, vito vya dhahabu, au mavazi gha mtindo.
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.
Lakini badala j'hiake j'hibhombekai kwa utu bhwa mugati mu n'teema, ni kuzidi mu bhonofu bhwa bhunyenyekevu ni bhutulivu bhwa n'teema, ambabho ndo bhwa thamani pamihu pa k'yara.
5 For after this manner heretofore the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands:
Kwa kuj'ha bhadala bhatakatifu bha kipambili bhene kwa nj'hela ej'he. Bhaj'hele ni imani kwa k'yara na bhabhatilii bhagosi bhabhu bhene.
6 As Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters you are, doing well, and not fearing any disturbance.
Kwa nj'hela ej'he Sara alimtii Ibrahimu ni kunkuta muene “N'gosi” ghwa muene. Muenga henu ndo bhanabhabhi kama bhib'eta kubhomba ghaghaj'hele manofu na kama mwitila lepi mabhibhi.
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.
Kwa nj'ela ej'hu muenga bhagosi mwilondeka kutama ni bhadala bhinu Mkamanyai kujobha bhene ndo bhaenzi bhinu bhadala dhaifu, mkabhamanyai bhene kama bhapokelaji bhaj'hinu bha zawadi j'ha bhusima. Mubhombagha naha ili kuj'ha maombi ghinu, ghasibesibhu.
8 And in fine, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, being lovers of the brotherhood, merciful, modest, humble:
Hatimaye, muenga mwebhoha, muj'hiage ni nia j'himonga, bha bhejhe ni k'hesa, Luganu kama bhulongo, bhanyenyekevu ni bhapole.
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.
Musilepi bhuovu kwa bhuovu, au lilighu kwa lilighu. kinyume kyake muj'hendelelaghe kubariki kwandabha ej'he mwabarikibhu ni kukutibhwa, ili mubhwesiaghe kurithi baraka.
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.
“Muene j'hailonda kugana maisha ni kubhona ligono linofu lazima aubesyagha lulimi lwake kwa mabhibhi ni milomo ghiake kujobha hila.
11 Let him decline from evil, and do good: let him seek after peace and pursue it:
Na ageukaghe ni kuleka mabhibhi ni kubhomba ghaghaj'hele manofu. Alondai amani ni kuj'hifuata.
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.
Mihugha Bwana ghakambona j'heaj'he ni haki ni mbol'okhoto syake sikamp'heleka maombi ghake. Lakini pamihu pa Bwana uj'he kinyume kya bhala bhabhomba maovu”.
13 And who is he that can hurt you, if you be zealous of good?
Niani ibeta kubhazuru muenga, ikajhiaghe mwitamani ghaghaj'hele manofu?
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.
Lakini kama mwibetakutesibhwa kwa haki, m'barikibhu. Musitili ghala ambagho bhene bhitila. Musij'hi ni wasiwasi.
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.
Badala j'hiake mumb'ekaghe Kristu Bwana mu mi'teema ghinu kama n'takatifu. Kila bhwakati muj'hiaghe tayari kun'jibu kila munu j'haikabhakhota muenga kwandabha j'hakiki mwikiera kwa k'yara. Mubhombaghe naha kwa bhololo ni litengo.
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.
Muj'hiagha ni dhamiri j'hinofu ili bhanu bhabhiligha maisha ghinu manofu mu Kristu bhabhwesiaghe kuaibika kwandabha bhilongela kinyume dhidi j'hinu kama mwaj'hele bhabhomba maovu.
17 For it is better doing well (if such be the will of God) to suffer, than doing ill.
Ni kinofu kit'opu, ikaj'hiaghe k'yara ingonywa, kuj'ha mwiteseka kwa kubhomba manofu kuliko kwa kubhomba mabhibhi.
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,
Kristu pia atesiki mara j'himonga kwandabha j'ha dhambi. Muene ambaj'he ndo nkolo haki atesiki kwa ndabha j'hitu, ambabho bhibeta kuj'ha bhenye haki, ili kuj'ha atuletayi tete kwa k'yara. Afwili ni m'mb'ele, lakini abhonibibhu nsima mu roho.
19 In which also coming he preached to those spirits that were in prison:
Mu roho alotili ni kusihubiri roho ambasyo henu si j'hele mu kifungu.
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.
Syajhelepi tiifu bhwakati bhuvumilivu bhwa k'yara ghwilenda bhwakati bhwa Nuhu, ligono lya bhujenzi bhwa safina, ni k'yara abhaokwili bhanu bhadebe —nafsi nane— kuh'omela mmasi.
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.
Ej'he ndo alama j'ha bhubatiso bhwabhwikabhaokola muenga henu, siyo kama kusuka bhuchafu kuh'omela mu m'mb'ele, lakini kama ombi la dhamiri j'hinofu kwa k'yara, Kup'hetela bhufufuo bhwa Yesu Kristu.
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.
Muene aj'hele mu kibhoko kya kuume bhwa k'yara. Alotili kumbinguni. Malaika, mamlaka, ni ngofu lasima vimtii muene
