1 Peter 3
1 Likewise let the wiues bee subiect to their husbands, that euen they which obey not the worde, may without the worde be wonne by the conuersation of the wiues,
O ũguo noguo o na inyuĩ atumia, mwagĩrĩirwo nĩ gwathĩkagĩra athuuri anyu, nĩguo hangĩkorwo harĩ amwe ao matetĩkĩtie kiugo kĩa Ngai, mahote kũgarũrwo ngoro o na hatarĩ ciugo nĩ ũndũ wa mĩtugo ya atumia ao,
2 While they beholde your pure conuersation, which is with feare.
nĩ ũndũ wa kuonaga mĩtũũrĩre yanyu ya ũthingu na ya gĩtĩĩo.
3 Whose apparelling, let it not be that outwarde, with broyded heare, and golde put about, or in putting on of apparell:
Kwĩgemia kwanyu gũtigatuĩke o kwa mwĩrĩ, ta kũrama njuĩrĩ, na kwĩhumba mathaga ma thahabu na nguo thaka,
4 But let it bee the hidde man of the heart, which consisteth in the incorruption of a meeke and quiet spirite, which is before God a thing much set by.
no handũ ha ũguo-rĩ, gemagiai mũndũ ũrĩa wa hitho wa ngoro thĩinĩ, na ũgemu ũrĩa ũtatheũkaga wa roho wa ũhooreri na wa gũkindĩria. Kwĩgemia kũu nĩkuo kũrĩ bata mũno maitho-inĩ ma Ngai.
5 For euen after this maner in time past did the holy women, which trusted in God, tire them selues, and were subiect to their husbands.
Nĩgũkorwo ũguo nĩguo atumia arĩa atheru a tene arĩa mehokete Ngai meegemagia, na ũndũ wa gwathĩkagĩra athuuri ao ene,
6 As Sara obeyed Abraham, and called him Sir: whose daughters ye are, whiles yee doe well, not being afraide of any terrour.
o ta Sara, ũrĩa waathĩkagĩra Iburahĩmu na akamwĩtaga mwathi wake. Inyuĩ mũrĩ ciana ciake mũngĩĩka ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire mũtegwĩtigĩra.
7 Likewise ye husbands, dwel with them as men of knowledge, giuing honour vnto the woman, as vnto the weaker vessell, euen as they which are heires together of the grace of life, that your prayers be not interrupted.
O ũguo noguo o na inyuĩ athuuri mwagĩrĩirwo nĩgũtũũrania na atumia anyu na njĩra ya ũũgĩ, mũkĩmatĩĩaga tondũ nĩ aruti a wĩra hamwe na inyuĩ, na tondũ matirĩ hinya mũingĩ wa mwĩrĩ ta inyuĩ, ningĩ tondũ mũrĩ agai hamwe na atumia anyu a kĩheo kĩa ũtugi wa muoyo. Ĩkagai ũguo nĩguo gũtikagĩe ũndũ ũngĩgirĩrĩria mahooya manyu.
8 Finally, be ye all of one minde: one suffer with another: loue as brethren: bee pitifull: bee courteous,
Ngĩrĩkĩrĩria, ngũmwĩra inyuothe atĩrĩ, mũtũũranagie mũiguanĩte mũndũ na ũrĩa ũngĩ; mũiguanagĩre tha, ningĩ mwendanage ta ciana cia nyina ũmwe, na mũtuĩke ataana, na mũikarage mwĩnyiihĩtie.
9 Not rendring euil for euill, neither rebuke for rebuke: but contrarywise blesse, knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should be heires of blessing.
Tigagai kwĩrĩhĩria ũũru na ũũru, kana kwĩrumĩra mwarumwo, no nĩ kaba mũrathimanage, tondũ ũguo nĩguo mwetĩirwo, nĩgeetha mũkaagaĩrwo kĩrathimo.
10 For if any man long after life, and to see good dayes, let him refraine his tongue from euill, and his lippes that they speake no guile.
Nĩgũkorwo, “Mũndũ ũrĩa wothe ũngĩenda gũtũũra muoyo na one matukũ mega, no nginya arigĩrĩrie rũrĩmĩ rwake kwaria ũũru, na mĩromo yake kwaragia maheeni.
11 Let him eschew euil, and do good: let him seeke peace, and follow after it.
No nginya agarũrũke atige gwĩka ũũru, na ekage o wega; no nginya acaragie thayũ na aũthingatage.
12 For the eyes of the Lord are ouer the righteous, and his eares are open vnto their prayers: and the face of the Lord is against them that do euil.
Nĩgũkorwo maitho ma Mwathani maikaraga macũthĩrĩirie andũ arĩa athingu, na matũ make magathikagĩrĩria mahooya mao, no andũ arĩa mekaga ũũru, ũthiũ wa Mwathani nĩkũmookĩrĩra ũmookagĩrĩra.”
13 And who is it that will harme you, if ye follow that which is good?
Atĩrĩrĩ, nũũ ũngĩmwĩka ũũru mũngĩkorwo mũrĩ na kĩyo gĩa gwĩka wega?
14 Notwithstanding blessed are ye, if ye suffer for righteousnes sake. Yea, feare not their feare, neither be troubled.
No rĩrĩ, o na mũngĩnyariirwo nĩ ũndũ wa gwĩka ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire-rĩ, inyuĩ mũrĩ arathime. “Tigagai gwĩtigĩra maũndũ marĩa metigagĩra; mũtikanamake.”
15 But sanctifie the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready alwayes to giue an answere to euery man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you, with meekenesse and reuerence,
No ngoro-inĩ cianyu-rĩ, mwĩyamũrĩrei Kristũ atuĩke Mwathani. Ikaragai mwĩhaarĩirie hĩndĩ ciothe gũcookeria mũndũ wothe ũrĩa ũngĩmũũria gĩtũmi gĩa kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro kĩrĩa mũrĩ nakĩo. No ĩkagai ũguo mũrĩ na ũhooreri na gĩtĩĩo,
16 Hauing a good coscience, that whe they speake euill of you as of euill doers, they may be ashamed, which slander your good conuersation in Christ.
mũrĩ na thamiri ĩtegwĩcuuka, nĩgeetha arĩa macambagia mĩtugo yanyu mĩega tondũ mũrĩ thĩinĩ wa Kristũ, maconokage nĩ ũndũ wa gĩcambanio kĩu kĩao.
17 For it is better (if the will of God be so) that ye suffer for well doing, then for euil doing.
Nĩ kaba kũnyariirwo nĩ ũndũ wa gwĩka wega, angĩkorwo nĩ kwenda kwa Ngai, handũ ha kũnyariirwo nĩ gwĩka ũũru.
18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sinnes, the iust for the vniust, that he might bring vs to God, and was put to death concerning the flesh, but was quickened by the spirit.
Tondũ Kristũ aakuire nĩ ũndũ wa mehia ihinda o rĩmwe rĩa kũigana, ũrĩa mũthingu agĩkua nĩ ũndũ wa arĩa matarĩ athingu, nĩguo atũtware kũrĩ Ngai. Ooragirwo arĩ thĩinĩ wa mwĩrĩ, no ha ũhoro wa Roho, agĩcookio muoyo,
19 By the which hee also went, and preached vnto the spirits that are in prison.
agĩthiĩ arĩ na muoyo ũcio wa Roho akĩhunjĩria maroho marĩa maarĩ njeera,
20 Which were in time passed disobedient, when once the long suffering of God abode in the dayes of Noe, while the Arke was preparing, wherein fewe, that is, eight soules were saued in the water.
marĩa maaremete kuuma o tene rĩrĩa Ngai aatũire etereire akirĩrĩirie matukũ-inĩ ma Nuhu, rĩrĩa thabina yaakagwo. Thĩinĩ wayo haarĩ o andũ anini, nao othe maarĩ andũ anana tu, arĩa maahonokirio maaĩ-inĩ,
21 Whereof the baptisme that nowe is, answering that figure, (which is not a putting away of the filth of the flesh, but a confident demaunding which a good conscience maketh to God) saueth vs also by the resurrection of Iesus Christ,
namo maaĩ macio nĩmo ngerekano ya ũbatithio ũrĩa o na inyuĩ ũmũhonokagia, na ti ũhoro wa kweheria o gĩko kĩa mwĩrĩ, no nĩ mwĩhĩtwa wa thamiri ĩtarĩ na ũcuuke kũrĩ Ngai. Kũbatithio kũu nĩkuo kũmũhonokagia nĩ ũndũ wa kũriũkio kwa Jesũ Kristũ,
22 Which is at the right hand of God, gone into heauen, to whom the Angels, and Powers, and might are subiect.
ũrĩa wathiire igũrũ na rĩu aikaraga guoko-inĩ kwa ũrĩo kwa Ngai, nao araika, na aathani, o na maahinya magatuĩka ma gwathagwo nĩwe.
