< 1 Peter 3 >

1 In like manner, ye wives, [be] in subjection to your own husbands; that, even if any obey not the word, they may without the word be gained by the behaviour of their wives;
Yaa niitota, yoo dhirsoonni dubbicha hin amanne tokko tokko jiraatan akka isaan dubbii tokko malee amaluma niitota isaaniitiin boojiʼamaniif isinis akkasuma dhirsoota keessaniif ajajamaa;
2 beholding your chaste behaviour [coupled] with fear.
isaanis yommuu qulqullinaa fi sodaa isin jireenya keessan keessatti qabdan arganitti ni boojiʼamu.
3 Whose [adorning] let it not be the outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing jewels of gold, or of putting on apparel;
Miidhaginni keessan faaya alaan mulʼatuun jechuunis shurrubbaa dhaʼachuu, warqee kaaʼachuu fi uffata bareedaa uffachuun hin taʼin;
4 but [let it be] the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptible [apparel] of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
qooda kanaa miidhaginni keessan miidhagina keessa namummaa keessanii haa taʼu; innis miidhagina hafuura garraamii fi tasgabbaaʼaa, kan hin badne, kan fuula Waaqaa duratti gatii guddaa qabu haa taʼu.
5 For after this manner aforetime the holy women also, who hoped in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands:
Dubartoonni qulqulloonni durii warri Waaqa abdatanis akkasuma dhirsoota isaaniitiif ajajamuudhaan of miidhagsan;
6 as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose children ye now are, if ye do well, and are not put in fear by any terror.
Saaraanis Abrahaamiin “Gooftaa” jettee waamaa isaaf ajajamaa turte. Isinis yoo waan qajeelaa hojjettanii fi sodaachuu baattan intallan ishee ti.
7 Ye husbands, in like manner, dwell with [your wives] according to knowledge, giving honour unto the woman, as unto the weaker vessel, as being also joint-heirs of the grace of life; to the end that your prayers be not hindered.
Yaa dhirsoota, isinis akkasuma akka isaan dadhaboo taʼan hubadhaatii ulfina isaaniif kennuudhaan niitota keessan wajjin jiraadhaa; kanas sababii isaanis isin wajjin ayyaana jireenyaa dhaalaniif akka wanni tokko iyyuu kadhaa keessan hin gufachiifneef jedhaatii godhaa.
8 Finally, [be] ye all likeminded, compassionate, loving as brethren, tenderhearted, humbleminded:
Dhuma irratti hundi keessan yaada tokko qabaadhaa; walii naʼaa; akka obbolootaatti wal jaalladhaa; garaa laafotaa fi warra gad of qabanis taʼaa.
9 not rendering evil for evil, or reviling for reviling; but contrariwise blessing; for hereunto were ye called, that ye should inherit a blessing.
Hamaa, hamaadhaan hin deebisinaa; yookaan arrabsoo, arrabsoodhaan hin deebisinaa; qooda kanaa eebbisaa. Isinis akka eebba dhaaltaniif kanumaaf waamamtaniitii.
10 For, He that would love life, And see good days, Let him refrain his tongue from evil, And his lips that they speak no guile:
“Namni jireenya jaallatu, kan bara gaariis arguu hawwu kam iyyuu, arraba isaa hammina irraa, hidhii isaa immoo soba dubbachuu irraa haa eeggatu.
11 And let him turn away from evil, and do good; Let him seek peace, and pursue it.
Inni hammina irraa deebiʼee gaarii haa hojjetu; nagaa haa barbaadu; duukaa haa buʼus.
12 For the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, And his ears unto their supplication: But the face of the Lord is upon them that do evil.
Iji Gooftaa qajeeltota irra jiraatii; gurri isaas kadhata isaaniitiif banamaa dha; garuu fuulli Gooftaa warra hamaa hojjetanitti ni hammaata.”
13 And who is he that will harm you, if ye be zealous of that which is good?
Isin gaarii hojjechuuf yoo hinaaftan, eenyutu isin miidha?
14 But and if ye should suffer for righteousness’ sake, blessed [are ye]: and fear not their fear, neither be troubled;
Garuu yoo qajeelummaaf jettanii dhiphattan isin eebbifamoo dha. “Sodaachisuu isaanii hin sodaatinaa; hin jeeqaminaas.”
15 but sanctify in your hearts Christ as Lord: [being] ready always to give answer to every man that asketh you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, yet with meekness and fear:
Garuu garaa keessan keessatti Kiristoos Gooftichaaf ulfina guddaa kennaa. Nama sababii abdii isin qabdan sanaa isin gaafatu kamiif iyyuu deebii kennuuf yeroo hunda qophaaʼaa. Waan kana immoo garraamummaa fi sodaan godhaa;
16 having a good conscience; that, wherein ye are spoken against, they may be put to shame who revile your good manner of life in Christ.
isinis yommuu namoonni waaʼee keessan waan hamaa dubbatanitti akka warri amala gaarii isin Kiristoos keessatti qabdan sana arrabsan qaanaʼaniif yaada gaarii qabaadhaa.
17 For it is better, if the will of God should so will, that ye suffer for well-doing than for evil-doing.
Dhiphachuun keessan fedhii Waaqaa yoo taʼe, hamaa hojjettanii dhiphachuu irra gaarii hojjettanii dhiphachuu wayya.
18 Because Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God; being put to death in the flesh, but quickened in the spirit;
Kiristoosis Waaqatti isin fiduuf jedhee inni qajeelaan, warra qajeeltota hin taʼiniif siʼa tokko cubbuuf dhiphateeraatii. Inni fooniin ni ajjeefame; Hafuuraan garuu jiraataa taasifame;
19 in which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison,
erga jiraataa taasifamee immoo dhaqee hafuurota mana hidhaa jiranitti lallabe;
20 which aforetime were disobedient, when the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water:
isaanis bara Nohi keessa utuu dooniin ijaaramaa jiruu, yeroo Waaqni obsaan eegetti warra hin ajajaminii dha. Doonii kanaanis nama muraasa, walumatti nama saddeeti qofatu badiisa bishaanii jalaa baʼe;
21 which also after a true likeness doth now save you, [even] baptism, not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the interrogation of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ;
bishaan kun fakkeenya cuuphaa amma iyyuu isin fayyisuu ti; kunis dhagna irraa xurii baasuu utuu hin taʼin qalbii qulqulluun Waaqaaf waadaa galuu dha. Innis duʼaa kaʼuu Yesuus Kiristoosiin isin fayyisa;
22 who is on the right hand of God, having gone into heaven; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.
Kiristoos samiitti ol baʼee mirga Waaqaa jira; ergamoonni Waaqaa, aangoowwanii fi humnoonni hundinuu isa jalatti bulu.
