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;
Mewawa, na nyenye vadala muvatopesa vagosi vinu, ngati vavi vangi vangasadika lilovi la Chapanga, vasadika kwa kulola matendu ginu. Yati vihutika changali kujovewa lilovi,
2 seeing your pure behavior in fear.
muni yati vilola matendu ginu chemwitama bwina na wa utopesa.
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;
Kujinyambisa kwinu kukoto kuvya cha kuvala ndu, ngati kutiva mayunju mitindu ya kukangasa, kuwala vindu vyevitengenizwi kwa zahabu, na nyula za mashonga gamahele.
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.
Nambu, kujinyambisa kuvya kwekuhuma mugati ya mitima yinu, kujinyambisa kwangahalibika, na mtima wabwina upoli, chenicho ndi chindu chabwina neju kwa Chapanga.
5 For this is how the holy women before, who hoped in God also adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands:
Ndava chenichi ndi chavajinyambisi vadala va msopi va kadeni, vala vevamhuvali Chapanga. Vajinyambisi kwa kuvayidakila vagosi vavi.
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.
Ngati Sala cheamyidakili mngwana waki Ibulahimu, akamkemela bambu. Nyenye hinu muvi vana va Sala ngati mwikita gabwina changali kuyogopa.
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.
Mewawa na vagosi nyenye, mutama na vadala vinu kwa luhala, kuni mumanya kuvya vene vevalendili kuliku nyenye. Hinu mganikiwa kuvatopesa, ndava yati mwipokela nawu njombi ya wumi wa Chapanga ndi wumi wa magono goha gangali mwishu. Ngati mwikita chenicho kawaka chindu chechidivalila gala gemukumuyupa Chapanga.
8 Finally, be all like-minded, compassionate, loving as brothers, tenderhearted, humble,
Kwa kumalikisa nijova naha, muvya na mtima umonga na kuhengelana lipyana, na kuganana ngati valongo, muvya vapoli na vangolongondi.
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.
Mkoto kuvawuyisila vandu uhakau kwa uhakau, amala liligu kwa liligu, nambu muvamotisa, ndava ago ndi gemukemeliwi na Chapanga kuhenga, namwene yati akuvamotisa.
10 For, "He who would love life, and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking deceit.
Ngati chegijova Mayandiku Gamsopi, “Mundu yoyoha mweigana kuhekelela kutama, na kulola magona gabwina, mlomo waki akotoka kujova udese na lulimi lwaki lukoto kujova gahakau.
11 Let him turn away from evil, and do good. Let him seek peace, and pursue it.
Mundu mwenuyo ndi aleka uhakau, akita gabwina. Kangi alonda uteke kwa mtima waki woha.
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."
BAMBU akuvayangalila bwina vandu vevakumganisa na makutu gaki giyuwana bwina pevakumuyupa. Nambu BAMBU akuvayidakila lepi vevikita uhakau.”
13 Now who is he who will harm you, if you become zealous of that which is good?
Wu, yani mweihotola kuvalemasa nyenye ngati mwikangamala kukita gabwina?
14 But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you are blessed. "And do not fear what they fear, nor be troubled."
Nambu, hati ngati yati mwing'ahika ndava ya kukita ga kumganisa Chapanga, ndi mmotisiwi. Mkoto kumyogopa mundu yoyoha, mkoto kuvya mtahu.
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:
Nambu mumgundamila Kilisitu mugati ya mitima yinu na mumtopesa mwene ndi BAMBU. Magono goha jitendelekela kuvayangula vevakuvakota mambu ga huvalila yeyivi mumitima yinu,
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.
nambu mkita chenicho kwa upoli na kwa utopesa. Muvya na mtima weulangisa mwangabuda, muni pemwiligiwa, vala vevijova uhakau ndava ya matendu ginu gabwina mukuwungana na Kilisitu, yati vikola soni.
17 For it is better, if it is God's will, that you suffer for doing well than for doing evil.
Chabwina kung'ahika ndava ya kukita gabwina, ngati chenicho ndi cheigana Chapanga, kuliku kung'ahika ndava ya kukita gahakau.
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;
Muni Kilisitu mwene afwili mala yimonga ndu, ndava ya kubuda kwa vandu voha, mwene mweakumganisa Chapanga afwili ndava ya vandu vangamganisa Chapanga, muni avapeleka nyenye kwa Chapanga. Akomiwi chihiga nambu Mpungu Msopi amkitili kuvya mumi kavili.
19 in which he also went and made a proclamation to the spirits in prison,
Mewawa kwa njila ya Mpungu Msopi mwenuyo ndi akahamba kuzikokosela mipungu yeyavili muchifungu,
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.
zenizo ndi mipungu ya vandu vevabelili kumyidakila Chapanga penapo kadeni. Chapanga peavalindila kwa usindimala, lukumbi lula Nuhu peajengayi watu uvaha weukemiwa Safina. Na mugati Safina yeniyo mwavi na vandu vadebe ndu. Vandu nane ndu ndi vevasanguliwi mumanji,
21 This is a symbol of immersion, 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 the Messiah,
na manji ago ndi ulangisu ubatizu weukuvasangula nyenye hinu. Lepi ndava ya kunyambisa uhakau muhiga, ndi ngati lilaganu lelivikiwi kwa Chapanga kwa mtima wangajova angabuda palongolo ya Chapanga. Yikuvasangula kwa njila ya kuyuka kwa Yesu Kilisitu,
22 who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, angels and authorities and powers being made subject to him.
mwene ahambili kunani kwa Chapanga na atamili pandu pa utopesa muchiwoko cha kulyela cha Chapanga ilongosa, vamitumi va kunani kwa Chapanga. Vakulu na vana makakala vavi pahi yaki kwenuko kunani.
