1 Peter 3

1 Wives, be subject to your own husbands in like manner, that even if some are disobedient to the word, they may be won through the behavior of the wives without the word,

Kulwa injila inu, emwe bhanu muli bhagasi kubheile okwisosha ku bhalume bhemwe emwe abhene, koleleki, nolwo kuti abhandi bhebhwe bhachali kugwolobhela omusango, okulabha ku ntungwa ja bhagasi bhebhwe mbatula okubhaleta nolwo gutabhawo musango,

2 having beheld your pure behavior in fear,

kulwa insonga abho abhene abhabha bhailolele intungwa yemwe eyo bhwima amwi ne chibhalo.

3 whose adorning—let it not be that which is outward, of braiding of hair, and of putting around of things of gold, or of putting on of garments,

Jinu jikoleke atali kwo bhuligile bhwa anja-la kwo kulanga jinfwili, amwi kunanika jijaabhu, amwi bhifwalo bhya bhulele.

4 but—the hidden man of the heart, by the incorruptible [thing] of the meek and quiet spirit, which is of great value before God,

Mbe nawe kukilao jikolekane kwa bhumunu bhwa munda yo Mwoyo, no kukila mu bhukonde bhwo kwikeya no bhucholele bhwo Mwoyo, bhunu ni bhubhasi bhunene imbele ya Nyamuanga.

5 for thus once also the holy women who hoped on God were adorning themselves, being subject to their own husbands,

Kulwo kubha abhagasi abhelu bhenanikile abhene ku njila inu, bhaliga bhali ne likilisha ku Nyamuanga na bhabholobhee abhalume bhebhwe abhene.

6 as Sarah was obedient to Abraham, calling him “lord,” of whom you became daughters, doing good, and not fearing any terror.

Kulwa injila inu Sara amwolobhee Ibhulaimu no kulubhilila omwene “Esebhu-genyi” waye. Emwe wolyanu muli bhana bhaye mukakola jinu jili je kisi na mukabha mutakubhaya mabhibhi.

7 Husbands, in like manner, dwelling with [them], according to knowledge, as to a weaker vessel—to the wife—imparting honor, as also being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers are not hindered.

Mu njila eyo eyo, emwe abhalume kubheile okulama amwi na bhagasi bhemwe nimumenya ati bhenene ni bhejabho bhe chigasi bhalenga, nimubhamenya bhenene kuti bhalamisi bhejanyu abho mugabho gwo bhuanga. Nimukole kutya koleleki ati lisabhwa lyemwe lyasiga kuganyibhwa.

8 And finally, be all of one mind, having fellow-feeling, loving as brothers, compassionate, courteous,

Ebhya kubhutelo, emwe bhona, nimubhega no kwiganilisha kumwi, abho kufwilana chigongo, elyenda kuti bha nda umwi, abho kwikuya, na bhololo.

9 not giving back evil for evil, or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, blessing, having known that you were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing;

Mwasiga kusubhya nsigu, amwi okufuma ebhya mungubho. Obhutasikene bhwacho ni kugendelela okusosha amabhando, ku nsonga inu mwabhilikiliywe, koleleki ati mutule okulya omwandu gwa libhando.

10 for “he who is willing to love life, and to see good days, let him guard his tongue from evil, and his lips—not to speak guile;

“Mwenene unu Kenda obhulame no kubhona olusiku lwe kisi ni bhusi-bhusi aluganye olulimi lwaye kwa amabhibhi ne minwa jaye okukwaika ejo bhulige-lige.

11 let him turn aside from evil, and do good, let him seek peace and pursue it;

Na ainduke no kusiga amabhibhi no kukola agekisi. Aige omulembe no kugulubha.

12 because the eyes of the LORD [are] on the righteous, and His ears—to their supplication, but the face of the LORD [is] against those doing evil”;

Ameso ga Latabhugenyi agamulola omulengelesi na amatwi gaye agongwa lisabhwa lyaye. Mbe nawe obhusu bhwa Latabhugenyi bhutasikene na bhalya bhanu abhakola emibhibhi.”

13 and who [is] he who will be doing you evil, if you may become imitators of Him who is good?

Niga unu alibhanyamula emwe, mukabha nimuligila linu likondele? Mbe nawe mukabha nimunyaka kwo bhulengelesi, mbe muyanilwe libhando. Mwasiga kubhaya galya ganu bhenene abhagobhaya. Mwasiga kuwa mwoyo.

14 But if you also should suffer because of righteousness, [you are] blessed! And do not be afraid of their fear, nor be troubled,

15 but sanctify the LORD God in your hearts. And always [be] ready for defense to everyone who is asking of you an account concerning the hope that [is] in you, with meekness and fear,

Kukila ejo, nimumute Kristo Latabhugenyi mu Mioyo jemwe kuti bhelu. Bhuli mwanya nimubhega muli bhwangu okumusubhya bhuli munu unu kabhabhusha emwe ati ni Kulwaki muli no kwiikanya ku Nyamuanga. Nimukole kutya kwo bhwololo ne chibhalo.

16 having a good conscience, so that whenever they speak against you as evildoers, they may be ashamed—[those] who are maligning your good behavior in Christ;

Nimubhega no mutima gwekisi koleleki ati abhanu bhanu abhafuma obhulame bhwemwe bhwe kisi mu Kristo bheswale kunsonga abhaika jinu jitasikene mwime kuti ati mwaliga nimukola mabhibhi.

17 for if the will of God wills it, [it is] better to suffer doing good, than doing evil;

Ni kwa kisi kukila, alabha Nyamuanga kaligila, ati mwanyasibhwa kulwo oukola agekisi kukila okukola amabhibhi.

18 also because Christ suffered once for sin—righteous for unrighteous—that He might lead us to God, indeed having been put to death in the flesh, but having been made alive in the Spirit,

Kristo one anyakile lugendo lumwi ingulu ye bhibhibhi. Omwene unu ali mulengelesi nawe anyasibhwe ingulu yeswe, kenu eswe chaliga chitali bhalengelesi, koleleki ati achilete eswe ku Nyamuanga. Afuye mu mubhili, mbe nawe akolelwe kubha muanga mu mwoyo.

19 by which, having gone, He also preached to the spirits in prison,

Mu Mwoyo, agendele no kuja okujisimulila emioyo jinu wolyanu jibhoyelwe mwi bhoyelo.

20 who sometime [ago] disobeyed when once the long-suffering of God waited, in [the] days of Noah—an ark being prepared—in which few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water,

Jaliga jitana bhwololo mu mwanya gunu obhwigumilisha bhwa Nyamuanga anu bhwaliga bhuchalindilila omwanya gwa Nuhu, mu nsiku jo bhukonji bhwa imeli, (isafina) na Nyamuanga akisishe bhanu bhatyali-la-mioyo munana- okusoka mu maji.

21 also an antitype to immersion which now saves you—not a putting away of the filth of flesh, but the question of a good conscience in regard to God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

Lunu ni lunyamo lwo bhubhatijo lunu olubhakisha emwe wolyanu, atali ati okwosha obhujabhi okusoka mu mubhili, mbe nawe alabha lisabhwa lyo mutima gwe kisi ku Nyamuanga, okulabha mu bhusuluko obhwa Yesu Kristo. Omwene ali mu kubhoko okwe bhulyo okwa Nyamuanga.

22 who is at the right hand of God, having gone on to Heaven—messengers, and authorities, and powers, having been subjected to Him.

Ajiye mu lwile. Malaika, obhutungi, na managa ni bhusi-bhusi bhimwolobhele omwene.
