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,
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 While they beholde your pure conuersation, which is with feare.
kwa sababu balu bene baluwa bona tabia yinu njema pamope na heshima.
3 Whose apparelling, let it not be that outwarde, with broyded heare, and golde put about, or in putting on of apparell:
Yino ipangike siyo kwa mapambo ga panja suka njwili, vito vya dhahabu, au ngubo ya mitindo.
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.
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 euen after this maner in time past did the holy women, which trusted in God, tire them selues, and were subiect 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 As Sara obeyed Abraham, and called him Sir: whose daughters ye are, whiles yee doe well, not being afraide of any terrour.
Kwa ndila yino, sana atikujuawa Ibrahamu na kunkema ywembe “mchengowe” mwenga lelo ni mwabana bake mana mwapanga ganang'oloka na mwana nyogopali mabaya.
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.
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, be ye all of one minde: one suffer with another: loue as brethren: bee pitifull: bee courteous,
Hatimaye, mwenga mwaboti, mube na ndelajimo, mwabene huruma, upendo kati mwalongo mwanyenyekevu, na mwapole.
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.
Kwane mulipe kwa mbisi tukana kwa tukana. Nungi yake muyendeli bariki, kwa sababu yino mwatekimelwa, ili kwamba muwese kwipata baraka.
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.
Nyembe ywapala kuoenda maisha no bona lisuba sapi lazima alukilibuye lulime lwake kwa mabaya na mikano yake baya hila.
11 Let him eschew euil, and do good: let him seeke peace, and follow after it.
Na agalabuke na aleke masapuino panga gagabile mazuri.
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.
Mijo ya bwana umona mwene haki na masikio gake kugayuwa maombi gake. Lakini kuminyo ya Bwana kubile kinyume na balu babapanga maovu.
13 And who is it that will harme you, if ye follow that which is good?
Nyai ywapala kudhuru mwe, kanpala tamani lyalibile lizuri.
14 Notwithstanding blessed are ye, if ye suffer for righteousnes sake. Yea, feare not their feare, neither be troubled.
Lakini mwana mwateseka kwa haki mubarikiwe, Kwane muyogope galu ambapo bembe banda gayogapa. Kwane mube na sukala.
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,
Badala yake mumeke Kristo Bwana katika mwoyo winu kati mtakatifu kila saa mupetayari kunyangwa kila munduywa nokiya mwenga kwa namari mumwobilya Nn”ungu.
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.
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 the will of God be so) that ye suffer for well doing, then for euil doing.
Ni vizuri zaidi mwanaipangite Nn”ungu andapala, kwamba muteseka kwo panga mema kuliko kwo panga mabaya.
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.
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 By the which hee also went, and preached vnto the spirits that are in prison.
Atiwa katika yiga lakini apangilwa nkoti katika mwoyo. Katika mwoyo atinda no kwa bakiya mwoyo ambao sasa utitabilwa.
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.
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 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,
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 Which is at the right hand of God, gone into heauen, to whom the Angels, and Powers, and might are subiect.
Nywemba abile luboko lwa nungi kwa Nn”ungu ayei mbinguni. Malaika na ngupu lazima inyue yewmbe.
A Dove is Sent Forth from the Ark
