< 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,
Sao inaꞌ re! Faꞌra au ae ata musi rena neu atahori mana toꞌu koasa ra. De hei musi rena sao mara boe. Misinedꞌa te hambu touꞌ ruma nda nau tao tungga Lamatuaꞌ Hara-liin sa. Mae ara nda nau rena dedꞌea-oꞌola mara sa, te dei fo ara nau ramahere Lamatuaꞌ, huu hei masodꞌa mara.
2 having beheld your pure behavior in fear,
Huu ara mete, hei tao basa-bꞌasaꞌ e no hadꞌa-hormat mbali se ma meumareꞌ sia Lamatualain matan.
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,
Inaꞌ meulaun, nda mia saa fo nenenita sia deaꞌ sa. Conto onaꞌ: tao langga fulun dadꞌi mataꞌ-mataꞌ, do, pake naꞌalelenaꞌ lilo mbilas-lilo fulaꞌ, do, pake bua-baꞌu mafelit nda nandaa hadꞌat sa.
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,
Te mana tao inaꞌ ra meulauꞌ tebꞌe naa, naeni: rala nara nda nenenitaꞌ siaꞌ deaꞌ sa. Conto onaꞌ: rala maloleꞌ ma mana subꞌa-subꞌa. Te mae inaꞌ naa namalasi ena o, malole mataꞌ naa, nda mopo sa. Tungga Lamatuaꞌ mata memeten, meulauꞌ mataꞌ naa, mafelit.
5 for thus once also the holy women who hoped on God were adorning themselves, being subject to their own husbands,
Huu lele uluꞌ a, ina rala maloleꞌ mana ramahere neu Lamatualain, rala malole nara o onaꞌ naa boe. Ara o tao rerenaꞌ neu sao nara.
6 as Sarah was obedient to Abraham, calling him “lord,” of whom you became daughters, doing good, and not fearing any terror.
Haꞌi conto mia bei Saraꞌ. Ana tao rerenaꞌ neu saon Abraham. Ana o hela saon linu-afi e. Hei inaꞌ ra musi tungga eni dalan, huu mete ma hei tao dala matetuꞌ, na, afiꞌ mimitau saa-saa boe.
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.
Sao touꞌ re! Misodꞌa ralaꞌ esa mo sao mara. Timba-tai malolole saa fo maloleꞌ fee neu e, basa naa tao tungga. Mitudꞌu hadꞌa-hormat mbali e sia basa dalaꞌ ra, te inaꞌ ra maꞌaderen nda baꞌu onaꞌ touꞌ ra maꞌadꞌeren sa. Huu basa hei simbo belaꞌ pusaka fo Lamatualain nau fee neu nggiꞌ a. Naeni, simbo belaꞌ masodꞌa feuꞌ fo Lamatuaꞌ fee neu nggi mia rala malolen ena. Te hei sao touꞌ ra musi misodꞌa ralaꞌ esa mo sao mara, naa fo mete ma ruꞌa nggi soꞌu rala mara fo hule-oꞌe moꞌe saa esa mia Lamatuaꞌ, naa, Ana nau rena nggi boe.
8 And finally, be all of one mind, having fellow-feeling, loving as brothers, compassionate, courteous,
Toronoo susueꞌ re! Neu mateꞌen, au ae olaꞌ dalaꞌ esa. Basa hei musi misodꞌa no ralaꞌ esa. Mete ma atahori esa namedꞌa susa-sonaꞌ do namahoꞌo, na, hei laen o musi mimedꞌa onaꞌ naa boe. Sue-lai atahori mana ramahere neu Kristus. Mitudꞌu rala maloleꞌ esa no esa. Afiꞌ koa-boꞌu ao mara, te musi miloe-midꞌae rala mara.
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;
Afiꞌ bala-bꞌae deꞌulakaꞌ no deꞌulakaꞌ. Mete ma atahori olaꞌ raꞌatutudaꞌ nggi, na afiꞌ olaꞌ miꞌitutudaꞌ baliꞌ atahori naa. Te moꞌe Lamatuaꞌ tao maloleꞌ neu atahori naa. Huu Lamatuaꞌ noꞌe nala nggi dadꞌi Eni atahorin, naa fo ama bisa simbo maloleꞌ mia E boe.
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;
Nenesuraꞌ sia Lamatuaꞌ Susura Meumaren oi, Atahori mana sangga masodꞌa maloleꞌ, ma mana sangga uanale naruꞌ a, atahori naa musi nanea bafan fo afiꞌ olaꞌ deꞌulakaꞌ, ma afiꞌ olaꞌ peko-lelekoꞌ.
11 let him turn aside from evil, and do good, let him seek peace and pursue it;
Ana musi doaꞌ, fo sudꞌi boe tao deꞌulakaꞌ fai, te tao baliꞌ a ndoo-tetuꞌ leo. Ana musi nanori nasodꞌa mole-dame no basa atahori, ma sangga dalaꞌ fo malolole no se.
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”;
Huu hita Lamatuan tao mataꞌ neu atahori mana nasodꞌa tunggaꞌ a ndoon. Ma Ana o nau rena neu hule-oꞌe nara boe. Te hita Lamatuan labꞌan nakandooꞌ a neu atahori mana nasodꞌa taoꞌ a deꞌulakaꞌ.”
13 and who [is] he who will be doing you evil, if you may become imitators of Him who is good?
Mete ma hei taoꞌ a ndoo-tetuꞌ, na, seka nae tao deꞌulakaꞌ mbali nggi fai? Nda hambu, sa to?
14 But if you also should suffer because of righteousness, [you are] blessed! And do not be afraid of their fear, nor be troubled,
Te mae hei taoꞌ a ndoo-tetuꞌ, te basa ma hambu atahori tao raꞌasususaꞌ nggi, na hei onton. Mete ma hambu atahori nda rahine Kristus sa ramatau huu dalaꞌ sa, na, ama afiꞌ mimitau tungga taꞌo naa. Dudꞌuꞌa mara afiꞌ liuali ma rala mara afiꞌ susa onaꞌ se boe.
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,
Tao rala mara neenee-linolino, huu hei soꞌu Kristus sia rala mara fo dadꞌi hei Lamatua mana meumareꞌ. Mete ma atahori roꞌe nggi fo mifadꞌe nemehere mara, ma saa de ama mimihena mae, dei fo Kristus tao basaꞌ e dadꞌi maloleꞌ, na, ama musi sadꞌia fo mitaa se.
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;
Te hei musi mitaa no rala maloleꞌ, ma mitudꞌu hadꞌa-hormat mbali se, naa fo ara bubꞌuluꞌ hei tao matetuꞌ mia rala meumareꞌ. Mae hei tao maloleꞌ taꞌo naa o, tantu hambu mana rae olaꞌ raꞌatutudꞌaꞌ nggi, huu ama nenepaꞌaꞌ mo Kristus. De mete ma ama tao maloleꞌ mikindooꞌ a, naa, sira mana raꞌamuti nggi dei fo ara mae.
17 for if the will of God wills it, [it is] better to suffer doing good, than doing evil;
Mete ma naa tungga Lamatuaꞌ hihiin, na, afiꞌ liliiꞌ, te malole lenaꞌ hei hambu susa-sonaꞌ huu tao ndoo-tetuꞌ a, afiꞌ huu hei tao salaꞌ
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,
Te Kristus mate lao esa, huu hita atahori tao salaꞌ Eni mana nasodꞌa ndoo-tetuꞌ a, mate soaꞌ neu hita mana tasodꞌa to manggenggeoꞌ a. Ana mate fo hei bisa malolole baliꞌ mo Lamatualain. Kristus naa, atahori onaꞌ hita boe. Atahori tao risa E, te Lamatuaꞌ Dula-dalen tao nasodꞌa baliꞌ E.
19 by which, having gone, He also preached to the spirits in prison,
Dula-daleꞌ naa o nendi E neu nanori ao samanaꞌ mana neneꞌenaꞌ ra sia mamanaꞌ sa ona bui e.
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,
Sira naa, naeni atahori dalahuluꞌ fo nda mana nau rena Lamatuaꞌ sa. Leleꞌ naa baꞌi Noh tao ofa monaeꞌ sa. Lamatuaꞌ nea-nea nae mete atahori tao tungga Eni hihii-nanaun, te ara nda nau tao tungga sa. Naa de akaꞌ atahori faluꞌ a hambu rasodꞌa mia oe mandali monaeꞌ a.
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,
Oe mandaliꞌ naa dadꞌi conto, onaꞌ leleꞌ hei nenesaraniꞌ boe. Saraniꞌ naa natudꞌu oi, Lamatuaꞌ mboꞌi hendi nggi mia sala-kilu mara, huu Yesus Kristus nasodꞌa baliꞌ ena. Leleꞌ ara sarani nggi, ara nda rariu nggi fo tao rameu ao mara sa. Te matetun, hei mitaa mbali Lamatuaꞌ, fo mae tao mimeu rala mara. No taꞌo naa, ama bisa misodꞌa no ndoo-tetuꞌ
22 who is at the right hand of God, having gone on to Heaven—messengers, and authorities, and powers, having been subjected to Him.
Leleꞌ ia, Yesus hene baliꞌ sorga neu ena. Sia naa Ana endoꞌ sia mamana nene fee hadꞌa-hormat manaseliꞌ a, Sia Lamatualain bobꞌoa onan. Boe ma, ate mana sia sorga ra, basa koasa ra, ma mana toꞌu koasa ra, musi rena neu Kristus.
