1 Peter 3

1 In like manner, wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; so that, even if any do not obey the word, they may be won by the behavior of their wives without a word;

Ni nkoh yi, biyi wa bi mba, ka tu mbi nu ba lon-mbi. Ti naki ko mbru lilon ba ba ka wo tre Irji, bi nji ba ye tu nkoh Irji, ko bina bla tre'a na, iti mbi ni nji ba ye.

2 seeing your pure behavior in fear.

U ba toh iti-mbi u njanji niwa bi toh ba ni nfutu.

3 Let your beauty be not just the outward adorning of braiding the hair, and of wearing jewels of gold, or of putting on fine clothing;

Du mba na ta sru kpi nda biya ni kora megen na: chan tu, Jewels u gold, ko kpi bi ndindi.

4 but in the hidden person of the heart, in the incorruptible adornment of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God very precious.

Ani bi to bi wa ibi u mi suron wa-a ni kri gbah me u vutu ndi son mgbamgbi, wa abi ni shishi Irji.

5 For this is how the holy women before, who hoped in God also adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands:

Imba bi toh Irji ba ka tu mba nayi. Ba yo suron mba ni Irji nda ka tu mba nu ba llo-mba.

6 as Sera obeyed Avraham, calling him lord, whose children you now are, if you do well, and are not put in fear by any terror.

Naki Saratu a ta yo loma ndi irji ma. Zizan biyi me bi mmri ma to bi ti kpe wa-a bi u toh bina klu ssri iya na.

7 You husbands, in like manner, live with your wives according to knowledge, giving honor to the woman, as to the weaker vessel, as being also joint heirs of the grace of life; that your prayers may not be hindered.

Ni nkoh yi ngame, biyi lilon sohn ni ba mba mbi ndi to ndi bana sen kpa na umbi na. Bika nji ba bi ndi ya ba ni nfutu, wawu mbi Irji mba nu yi vri. Ti naki don du bre mbi duna kri-nkoh na.

8 Finally, be all like-minded, compassionate, loving as brothers, tenderhearted, humble,

I klekle ma, bi ka son na mri vayi ndi zo kpambi, ndi na ti suron memme ni kpambi na, ndi ka tu mbi grji.

9 not rendering evil for evil, or reviling for reviling; but instead blessing; because to this were you called, that you may inherit a blessing.

Na han memme ni memme na ko mre ni mre na. Bita ti lulu ni kpambi, iyo wa Bachi a yo yi kabi a mba, na ki bi kpa lulu.

10 For, "He who would love life, and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking deceit.

Indi wa-a ni son ri mgbumgblu nda toh vi bi ndindi dun don tre memme rji ni Lbe mba nhyu ma.

11 Let him turn away from evil, and do good. Let him seek peace, and pursue it.

Dun ka memme chuwo nda ti ndindi. Dun wa nda vu nkoh u si.

12 For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears open to their prayer; but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil."

Shishi Irji ni ya bima, u ton ma ni wo bre mri ma. U shishin Irji ana son bi ti memme na.

13 Now who is he who will harm you, if you become zealous of that which is good?

Ahi nha ni wa ti yi memme toh bi wa ti ndindi?

14 But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you are blessed. "And do not fear what they fear, nor be troubled."

U toh bi shaya nitu ti ndindi, bi kpa lulu. Na klu kpe wa ba klu na. Na yo sisri na

15 But sanctify in your hearts Meshikha as Lord; and always be ready to give an answer to everyone who asks you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, yet with humility and fear:

Bika ka Bachi Kristi yo ni suron mbi wa ana lla tre na. U bika si kpa ni ko nha wa a me yi du nge bi yo suron nitu Irji. Ti naki nimi nu tu mbi ndi ka tu mbi grji.

16 having a good conscience; so that when they speak evil against you, they may be put to shame who slander your good manner of life in Meshikha.

He ni suron ndindi ma wa ko ba ndi ba mreu, ibi sohn meh ni nu ba shan dun ba si tre memme nitu me na wu memme ndji.

17 For it is better, if it is God's will, that you suffer for doing well than for doing evil.

Abi toh Bachi tre du shaya ni ti ndindi zan wa uti memme.

18 Because Meshikha also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring you to God; being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit;

Yesu me ati ya ni tu lla tre mbu. Wawu wa ana he ni lla tre na nda ti ya ni tawu, kita bi lla tre, dun du nji ta ye ni Irji. Ba wu kpa ma, u Irji a kma nu vri nimi Ruhu.

19 in which he also went and made a proclamation to the spirits in prison,

Ni mi Ruhu a hi ka hla tre Irji ni ba ruhohi wa ba tro ba zi'a.

20 who before were disobedient, when God waited patiently in the days of Nukh, while the box-shaped ship was being built. In it, few, that is, eight souls, were saved by means of water.

Ba sein tu nda kamba ni tre Bachi ni wa asi gben ni ntoh u Nowa, ni ntoh wa asi mie jrigi'a, u Irji a kpa ba chuwo, ndji fime - suron tandra - nitu mma-a.

21 This is a symbol of baptism, which now saves you--not the removal of dirt from the body, but an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Yeshua Meshikha,

Iwayi a nuna kama batisma u-mbu'a ana kama ngla rji u kpa na, u ahi wa suron ndindi bre Bachi ni lunde u Yesu rji ni beh.

22 who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, angels and authorities and powers being made subject to him.

Kristi he ni woh kori u Irji. A hi ni shulu. Ba Maleku, Ba chu ni bi ninkon wawu mba ba ka-tu mba grji yo ni wu.
