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;
Basadi ba lo nyetsweng, kopanelang dithulagaganyo le banna ba lona; gonne fa ba gana go reetsa fa lo bua le bone kaga Morena, ba tlaa fenngwa ke maitseo a lona, le matshelo a a itshekileng.
2 seeing your pure behavior in fear.
Matshelo a lona a BoModimo a tlaa bua le bone botoka go gaisa mafoko a lona.
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;
Se kgatlhweng ke bontle jo bo ka fa ntle jo bo mo mekgabong ya gauta, kgotsa diaparo tse di maphatsi-phatsi, kgotsa go itoga moriri.
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.
Nnang bantle mo teng, mo teng ga dipelo tsa lona, ka bontle jo bo sa feleng jo bo siameng le ka mowa o o didimetseng o o leng botlhokwa thata mo Modimong.
5 For this is how the holy women before, who hoped in God also adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands:
Bontle joo, jo bo mo teng, bo bonywe mo basading ba baitshepi ba bogologolo, ba ba neng ba ikanya Modimo ebile ba dirisanya sentle le banna ba bone mo dithulaganyong.
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.
Jaaka Sara, a ne a utlwa monna wa gagwe Aberahame, a mo tlotla jaaka tlhogo ya lolwapa. Mme fa lo dira jalo lo tlaabo lo latela dikgato tsa gagwe jaaka barwadie ba ba siameng ebile ba dira se se molemo; jalo ga lo kitla lo boifa gore e ka re kgotsa lwa kgopisa banna ba lona.
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.
Lona banna ba lo nyetseng, lo tshwanetse go nna kelotlhoko mo basading ba lona, lo itse se basadi ba lona ba se tlhokang, lo bo lo ba tlotle jaaka tokololo e e bokoa. Gakologelwang gore lona le basadi ba lona lo barui mmogo mo go amogeleng tshegofatso ya Modimo, mme fa lo sa ba direle jaaka lo tshwanetse dithapelo tsa lona ga di kitla di arabiwa.
8 Finally, be all like-minded, compassionate, loving as brothers, tenderhearted, humble,
Mme jaanong se ke lefoko la lona lotlhe: Lo tshwanetse go nna jaaka lolwapa lo lo itumelang; lo tletse kutlwelo botlhoko mo go ba bangwe, lo ratana ka dipelo tse di bonolo le dikakanyo tse di kokobetseng.
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.
Se dueleng bosula ka jo bongwe. Se ipusolosetseng mo go ba ba buang bosula ka lona. Mo boemong jwa moo, rapelelang gore Modimo o ba thuse, gonne re tshwanetse ra nna tshiamo mo go ba bangwe, mme Modimo o tlaa re go segofaletsa.
10 For, "He who would love life, and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking deceit.
Fa o batla botshelo jo bo itumedisang, jo bo siameng, laola loleme lwa gago, o bo o tlhokomele dipounama tsa gago mo go bueng maaka.
11 Let him turn away from evil, and do good. Let him seek peace, and pursue it.
Fapoga mo bosuleng mme o dire tshiamo. Leka go tshelela mo kagisong le fa o tshwanetse go e latela go fitlhelela o e bona!
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."
Gonne Morena o lebeletse baba ba gagwe, o reeditse dithapelo tsa bone; mme sefatlhogo sa gagwe se kgatlhanong thata le ba ba dirang bosula.
13 Now who is he who will harm you, if you become zealous of that which is good?
Mme ka metlha yotlhe ga go na ope yo o tlaa lo utlwisang botlhoko go batla gore lo dire tshiamo.
14 But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you are blessed. "And do not fear what they fear, nor be troubled."
Mme le fa ba tshwanetse, lo tshwanetse go fufegelwa, gonne Modimo o tlaa go lo duelela.
15 But sanctify in your hearts Messiah 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:
O ikanye Keresete Morena wa gago mme fa mongwe a botsa gore ke eng fa o dumela ka tsela e o dumelang ka yone e, ipaakanyetse go mmolelela, mme o mmolelele ka tshiamo le maitseo.
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 Messiah.
Dirang tshiamo; mme fa batho ba bua ka lona, ba lo raya maina a a sa siamang, ba tlaa tlhajwa ke ditlhong ka ntlha ya go lo akela fa lo ne lo dira tshiamo fela.
17 For it is better, if it is God's will, that you suffer for doing well than for doing evil.
Gakologelwang gore, fa Modimo o batla gore lo boge, go molemo go bogela tshiamo go na le go bogela se se sa siamang!
18 Because Messiah 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;
Keresete le ene o ile a boga. O swetse dibe tsa rona rotlhe baleofi gangwe fela, le fa ene a ne a sena sebe, gore a tle a re ise gae kwa Modimong re babalesegile. Mme le fa mmele wa gagwe o ne wa a swa, mowa wa gagwe o ne wa tswelela wa tshela,
19 in which he also went and made a proclamation to the spirits in prison,
mme e ne e le mo moeng fa a etela mewa e e mo kgolegelong, a e rerela,
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.
mewa ya ba ba neng ba gana go reetsa Modimo, bogologolo pele ga malatsi a ga Noa, ba ganne go reetsa Modimo, le fa o ne wa ba letela ka bopelo-telele fa Noa a ntse a aga araka (ntlo e e kokobalang). Le fa go ntse jalo e ne e le batho ba ferabobedi fela ba ba neng ba bolokwa mo go nweleng mo morwaleleng o o boitshegang oo.
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 (the) Messiah,
(Seo, ke se kolobetso e se re supegetsang: Mo kolobetsong re supa gore re bolokilwe mo losong le mo tshekisong ka tsogo ya ga Keresete; e seng gore mebele ya rona e tlhatswiwe ka metse fela, mme eleng gore mo go kolobediweng, re boela mo Modimong re o kopa go tlhatswa dipelo tsa rona mo sebeng).
22 who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, angels and authorities and powers being made subject to him.
Mme jaanong Keresete o kwa legodimong, o ntse mo felong ga tlotlego go bapa le Modimo Rara, baengele botlhe le dinonofo di a mo obamela, di a mo utlwa.
