1 Peter 3
1 LIKEWISE, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, even if some obey not the word, by their wives’ conduct without the word, they may be won over;
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 being eye-witnesses of your chaste behaviour with timidity.
Kwa ndabha bhene bhibekuj'ha bhaj'hibhwene tabia j'hinu j'hinofu pamonga ni litengo.
3 Whose adorning let it not be that exterior one of braided locks, and golden trimmings, and dresses put on with nicety;
Ej'he j'hibhombeka j'hi sio kwa mapambo gha kwibhala—-kusuka njwili, vito vya dhahabu, au mavazi gha mtindo.
4 but let it be the hidden man of the heart, with that incorruptible ornament of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God highly valuable.
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 so in times of old the holy women also, who hoped 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 Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose children ye are, if ye do well, and are not affrighted with any terror.
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, in like manner dwell with them discreetly, putting respect on the dear woman as being the weaker vessel, and as co-heirs of the grace of life, so that your prayers may meet no interruption.
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 Finally, be all like-minded, sympathizing, loving fraternally, compassionate, friendly hearted,
Hatimaye, muenga mwebhoha, muj'hiage ni nia j'himonga, bha bhejhe ni k'hesa, Luganu kama bhulongo, bhanyenyekevu ni bhapole.
9 not returning evil for evil, or railing for railing; but, contrariwise, wishing men every blessing; knowing that hereunto ye have been called, that ye should inherit the divine benediction.
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 would love life, and see good days, let him restrain his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking guile.
“Muene j'hailonda kugana maisha ni kubhona ligono linofu lazima aubesyagha lulimi lwake kwa mabhibhi ni milomo ghiake kujobha hila.
11 Let him depart from every wicked thing, and do good; let him seek peace, and pursue it.”
Na ageukaghe ni kuleka mabhibhi ni kubhomba ghaghaj'hele manofu. Alondai amani ni kuj'hifuata.
12 For the eyes of the Lord are upon the just, and his ears open to their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against those who practise wicked 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 will do you harm if ye be imitators of him that is good?
Niani ibeta kubhazuru muenga, ikajhiaghe mwitamani ghaghaj'hele manofu?
14 But if ye should even suffer for righteousness, blessed are ye: be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled,
Lakini kama mwibetakutesibhwa kwa haki, m'barikibhu. Musitili ghala ambagho bhene bhitila. Musij'hi ni wasiwasi.
15 but sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be always ready with your reply to every man who demands a reason respecting the hope which is in you with meekness and fear:
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 keeping a good conscience; that whereas they malign you, as evil doers, they may be confounded who take pleasure in ridiculing your good conduct 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 (if it be God’s will) to suffer as well doers than as evil doers.
Ni kinofu kit'opu, ikaj'hiaghe k'yara ingonywa, kuj'ha mwiteseka kwa kubhomba manofu kuliko kwa kubhomba mabhibhi.
18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, put to death indeed in the flesh, but raised to life by 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 by which also he went and preached to those spirits imprisoned;
Mu roho alotili ni kusihubiri roho ambasyo henu si j'hele mu kifungu.
20 who in time of old were disobedient, when the long suffering of God in the days of Noe waited, while the ark was preparing, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were preserved through the 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 The antitype to which baptism now saveth us (not the mere removal of filth from the flesh, but the engagement of a good conscience to 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 at the right hand of God, gone into heaven, angels and dominations and powers being put in subjection under him.
Muene aj'hele mu kibhoko kya kuume bhwa k'yara. Alotili kumbinguni. Malaika, mamlaka, ni ngofu lasima vimtii muene
