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;
Ri ix kꞌulanik taq ixoqibꞌ, chiꞌnimaj ri iwachajilal, rech jeriꞌ we kꞌo jun chike ri achajilom man kukoj taj ri utzij ri Dios, kachꞌeketaj na,
2 seeing your pure behavior in fear.
rumal cher karil na ri utz laj inoꞌjibꞌal pa ri ikꞌaslemal.
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;
Ixoqibꞌ, man are ta jeꞌl kixkaꞌyik we kiwiqiqej iwibꞌ rukꞌ qꞌana pwaq rachiꞌl chachal xuqujeꞌ kikoj atzꞌyaq paqal taq rajil.
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.
Xane are chuxoq ijeꞌlal ri kel loq pa taq iwanimaꞌ are waꞌ ri maj ukꞌisik xuqujeꞌ sibꞌalaj kajororik. Are waꞌ ri sibꞌalaj kꞌo uqꞌij choch ri Dios.
5 For this is how the holy women before, who hoped in God also adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands:
Jewaꞌ xenoꞌjinik ri tyoxalaj taq ixoqibꞌ ojer, xkubꞌi kikꞌuꞌx chirij ri Dios, xeꞌkinimaj ri e kachajilal.
6 as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose children you now are, if you do well, and are not put in fear by any terror.
Jeꞌ chixnoꞌjinoq jetaq ri xnoꞌjin ri Sara, xunimaj ri Abraham, wajaw xcha che. Ix ix ral ri Sara we kibꞌan ri utzilal man rukꞌ taj xibꞌin ibꞌ.
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.
Je xuqujeꞌ ix achajilom, qas chichomaj na ri kibꞌan kukꞌ ri iwixoqilal, nim chiꞌwilaꞌ, jeriꞌ rumal cher jun ixoq man ko taj. Ri achi xuqujeꞌ ri ixoq junam aꞌreꞌ aꞌjchoqꞌe ri ujeꞌlal ri kꞌaslemal. We utz kixnoꞌjinik maj kaqꞌaten riꞌ ri ichꞌawem cho ri Dios.
8 Finally, be all like-minded, compassionate, loving as brothers, tenderhearted, humble,
Kisbꞌal rech chixkꞌoloq pa utzilal kukꞌ konojel ri winaq; chitzijoj chibꞌil taq iwibꞌ ri kꞌax xuqujeꞌ ri kiꞌkotemal ri kiriqo, chiloqꞌaj iwibꞌ, cheꞌl ikꞌuꞌx chike nikꞌaj chik, xuqujeꞌ chimochꞌo iwibꞌ.
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.
Mitzalij ukꞌaxel ri etzelal ri kabꞌan chiꞌwe, xane chiꞌtewechiꞌj ri kakibꞌan kꞌax chiꞌwe jeriꞌ rumal ri ix, ix sikꞌital chi rechabꞌexik ri tewechibꞌal.
10 For, "He who would love life, and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking deceit.
Qas tzij: Ri winaq ri karaj kukꞌaslebꞌej ri ukꞌaslemal pa jaꞌmaril, rajawaxik qas kunaꞌ na ri kubꞌij, chuqꞌila ribꞌ chubꞌixik bꞌanoj taq tzij.
11 Let him turn away from evil, and do good. Let him seek peace, and pursue it.
Chuqꞌila ribꞌ chubꞌanik etzelal, are chubꞌana ri utzilal. Chutzukuj xuqujeꞌ chutereneꞌj ubꞌanik ri jaꞌmaril.
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."
Jeriꞌ rumal cher ri Dios keꞌrilo ri e sukꞌ taq winaq, xuqujeꞌ kuta ri kichꞌawem, xa kꞌu keꞌretzelaj ri kakibꞌan etzelal.
13 Now who is he who will harm you, if you become zealous of that which is good?
¿Jachin ta kꞌu riꞌ ri kabꞌanow kꞌax chiꞌwe we are kibꞌan ri utzilal?
14 But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you are blessed. "And do not fear what they fear, nor be troubled."
Utz iwe we kiriq kꞌax rumal ri utzilal ri kibꞌano, mixiꞌj iwibꞌ xuqujeꞌ miya iwibꞌ pa xibꞌixik rumal ri kexibꞌin ri winaq.
15 But sanctify in your hearts Christ 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:
Xane are nim chiwila ri Cristo ri iwAjaw ri kꞌo pa iwanimaꞌ. Rukꞌ utzilal chibꞌij chike ri winaq ri ketow chiꞌwe jachin chirij jeqel wi ikꞌuꞌx.
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 Christ.
Chibꞌana rukꞌ utzilal xuqujeꞌ rukꞌ mekꞌekꞌem, man rukꞌ ta itzel taq chomabꞌal, rech kekꞌix ri winaq kakibꞌan bꞌanoj tzij chiꞌwij xuqujeꞌ ri itzel ketzijon chiꞌwe.
17 For it is better, if it is God's will, that you suffer for doing well than for doing evil.
We karaj ri Dios kiriq kꞌax, kiriq riꞌ, are katanik kiriq kꞌax rumal ri utzilal ri kibꞌano, cho we kiriq kꞌax rumal ri etzelal ri kibꞌano.
18 Because Christ 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;
Jeriꞌ rumal cher ri Cristo xa junmul xkam rumal ronojel ri makaj, ri sukꞌ xujach ribꞌ kumal kech ri man e sukꞌ taj rech kixukꞌam bꞌik rukꞌ ri Dios. Ri Cristo xuriq ri kamikal pa ri utyoꞌjal, ri Uxlabꞌixel kꞌut xukꞌastajisaj uwach.
19 in which he also went and made a proclamation to the spirits in prison,
Pa ri Uxlabꞌixel xeꞌ chutzijoxik ri utz laj tzij chike ri uxlabꞌal ri e tzꞌapatzꞌoj.
20 who before were disobedient, when God waited patiently in the days of Noah, while the box-shaped ship was being built. In it, few, that is, eight souls, were saved by means of water.
Areꞌ taq waꞌ ri uxlabꞌal ri man xeniman taj pa taq ri uqꞌij ri Noé are tajin kuyak ri arca, ri Dios xerayeꞌj na kakikꞌex kikꞌuꞌx. Pa ri arca xa e wajxaqibꞌ winaq xekolotajik, are ri jaꞌ xekolowik.
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 Jesus Christ,
Ri jaꞌ kajunumataj rukꞌ ri qasanaꞌ ri kixukolo. Ri qasanaꞌ man are ta kuchꞌaj ri tyoꞌjal, xane kubꞌan jun rayibꞌal rech chꞌajchꞌojil re ri qachomabꞌal choch ri Dios. We koltajem xbꞌantajik xa rumal ri ukꞌastajibꞌal wach ri Jesucristo.
22 who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, angels and authorities and powers being made subject to him.
Ri Cristo xpaqiꞌ pa ri kaj, xeꞌtꞌuyul pa uwiqiqꞌabꞌ ri Dios, qꞌatal tzij pa kiwiꞌ konojel ri angelibꞌ xuqujeꞌ ri nimaꞌq taq qꞌatal tzij xuqujeꞌ ronojel chuqꞌabꞌ.
