1 Peter 3

1 Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won 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 While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.

Kwa ndabha bhene bhibekuj'ha bhaj'hibhwene tabia j'hinu j'hinofu pamonga ni litengo.

3 Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of 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 let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.

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 in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto 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 Even as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.

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 Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together 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 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:

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, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should 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 eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.

Na ageukaghe ni kuleka mabhibhi ni kubhomba ghaghaj'hele manofu. Alondai amani ni kuj'hifuata.

12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.

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 will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?

Niani ibeta kubhazuru muenga, ikajhiaghe mwitamani ghaghaj'hele manofu?

14 But and if ye suffer for righteousness’ sake, happy are ye: and 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 ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that 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 Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that 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, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.

Ni kinofu kit'opu, ikaj'hiaghe k'yara ingonywa, kuj'ha mwiteseka kwa kubhomba manofu kuliko kwa kubhomba mabhibhi.

18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened 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 unto the spirits in prison;

Mu roho alotili ni kusihubiri roho ambasyo henu si j'hele mu kifungu.

20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein 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 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us ( not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward 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 gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.

Muene aj'hele mu kibhoko kya kuume bhwa k'yara. Alotili kumbinguni. Malaika, mamlaka, ni ngofu lasima vimtii muene
