1 Peter 3
1 In like manner, let the wives be in subjection to their own husbands; that, indeed, if any obey not the word, they, without the word, may be won by the behavior of their wives,
Munshila ilico, nenjamwe batukashi mwebwa, bombelani bamulume benu, kwambeti nabambi batanyumfu maswi a Lesa, nibalitibuke bene nekushoma, babona mikalilo yenu yaina. Nteti pakayandike maswi akwambapo sobwe,
2 (when they behold you chaste behavior, joined with reverence: )
pakwinga nibakalibonene bene mikalilo yenu yabulemu kayi yaswepa.
3 whose adorning, let it not be that which is external--the plaiting of hair, trinkets of gold, or finery of dress;
Kwapa kwenu kakutabowa kwakunsa, kwakuposa mishishi kwanyanyisha, nekuli kobaika byagolide, byamulo wadula.
4 but--the hidden man of the heart, with the incorruptible ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which, in the sight of God, is of great value.
Amwe kwapa kwenu kube ncomubele mukati, kwapa kutapu kwa moyo wabomba kayi wakamweneneshi. Moyo ulico eulayandikinga pamenso pali Lesa.
5 For thus, anciently, the holy women, also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands;
Umu batukashi bakaindi baswepa myoyo, kayi bashoma Lesa mobalikulyapisha, kayi balikunyumfwila balume babo.
6 even as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him Lord; whose daughters you are become, doing well, and not fearing any terror.
Encalikuba Sala, walikumunyumfwila Abulahamu, nekumukuweti, “Nkambo.” Neco amwe batukashi njamwe banabendi Sala, na kamwinsa cena mwakubula kutina kantu kalikonse.
7 In like manner, husbands, dwell with your wives according to knowledge, giving honor to the wife, as the weaker vessel, and as joint heirs of the favor of life, that your prayers be not hindered.
Nenjamwe balume, kamwikalanga cena ne bamakashenu nekubeshibeti nimushobo wabula ngofu. Bapeni bulemu pakwinga nimukatambule pamo cipo ca Lesa cabuyumi. Kamwinsangeco kwambeti pabule kuba kantu kela kushinkilisha mipailo yenu.
8 Finally, be all of one mind, sympathizing, lovers of the brethren, tender-hearted, courteous--
Maswi akupwililisha nakwambeti, mwense mube ne moyo umo kayi munyumfwilanenga nkumbo. Sunanani eti pabukwenu. Kamubani ne moyo wankumbo kayi balicepesha.
9 not returning evil for evil, or railing for railing; but, on the contrary, bless: knowing that to this you were called, that you might inherit the blessing.
Balamwinshilinga byaipa kamutababweshela byaipa, balamutukananga, kamutabatukananga. Amwe mubapenga colwe, pakwinga amwe Lesa walamukuwani kubwikalo bulico kwambeti mukatambule colwe cakendi.
10 "For he who is desirous to enjoy life, and to see good days, let him restrain his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking deceit.
Ntepasa Maswi a Lesa alambangeti, Layandanga kusamwa ne buyumi, ne kubona masuba aina, alekeshe lulemi lwakendi kwamba byaipa, kayi mulomo wakendi uleke bwepeshi,
11 Let him turn away from evil, and do good; let him turn away from evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and pursue it.
Aleye byaipa neye ainse byaina, alangaule lumuno ne moyo wakendi wonse.
12 For the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open to their supplication; but the face of the Lord is against the workers of iniquity."
Ntepasa Mwami ukute kubalanga cena bantu balulama, ukute kushako matwi kumipailo yabo. Nomba beshikwinsa byaipa ukute kubapa camusana.
13 Besides, who is he that will do evil to you, if you be imitators of the Good One?
Niyani wela kumwinshila byaipa na kamukute kangwabu pa bintu byaina?
14 Nevertheless, although you even suffer for righteousness' sake, you are happy. Therefore, do not fear their fear, neither be troubled:
Nomba nambi munyumfwe bishikubaba cebo ca bululami kondwani, kamutatina bantu nambi kupenga mumoyo.
15 but sanctify the Lord God in your hearts; and be always prepared for giving an answer, with meekness and reverence, to every one who asks of you a reason for the hope which is in you.
Nomba amwe lemekeshani Klistu Mwami wenu mumyoyo yenu. Kamubani balibambila cindi conse.
16 Hold fast a good conscience, that, whereas they speak against you as evil doers, they may be put to shame who arraign your good behavior in Christ.
Kamubani nemoyo wabula kankoleleshi kwambeti bantu nabambi bakumbwileko cendo cenu caina omulakonkelenga Klistu. kwambeti mubanyufwishe nsoni balamutukananga. Kamubani balibambia kubakumbula mwakubomba moyo, kayi mubulemu, bantu balamwipushunga shakupembelela nkomukute.
17 For it is better to suffer as well doers, if the will of God appoints it, than as evil doers.
Caina kunyumfwa byeshikubaba cebo cakwinsa byaina na encalayandanga Lesa, kupita kunyumfwa byeshikubaba cebo ca kwinsa byaipa.
18 For even Christ once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God; being put to death, indeed, in the flesh, but made alice by the Spirit.
Klistu walafwila bwipishi bwa bantu kankanda kamo, muntu walulama kutufwila kwambeti atushikishe kuli Lesa. Ee kumubili walafwa, nsombi Mushimu wa Lesa walamupundusha.
19 By which, also, he made proclamation to the spirits in prison,
Kacili mu Mushimu walaya kukambauka ku mishimu yasungwa mujele.
20 who formerly were disobedient, when the patience of God once waited, in the days of Noah, while an ark was preparing, in which few, that is, eight souls, were effectually saved through water--
Iyi mishimu ni yabantu bakaindi balabula kunyumfwa Lesa mpwalikupembelela camoyonteka, pacindi Nowa mpwalikwibaka bwato umo mobalapulukila bantu basanu ne batatu.
21 the antitype, immersion, does, also, now save us, (not putting away the filth of the flesh; but seeking of a good conscience toward God, ) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ;
Asa menshi ecikoshano ca lubatisho lulamupulushunga masuba ano, ulu lubatisho nkalukute kuswepesha mubili sobwe, nsombi nikulibenga nemoyo wonse kuli Lesa, elupulusho lwenu pacebo cakupunduka kwa Klistu.
22 who, having gone into heaven, is at the right hand of God; angels, and authorities, and powers, being subjected to him.
Klistuyo walaya Kwilu kayi wekala ku cikasa calulyo ca Lesa. Kopeloko bangelo, ne bendeleshi ne ngofu bonse bakute kumunyumfwila.
