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;
Namwenga wadala, mlituli pasi pa uwezu wa wapalu wenu, su handa kwana wapalu woseri yawajimira ndiri shisoweru sha Mlungu, wapati kujimira kwa kuguwona mgenderanu gwenu. Hayiweri ndiri kwa mwenga mpaka kutakula shisoweru,
2 beholding your chaste behaviour [coupled] with fear.
toziya hawawoni ntambu mgenderanu gwenu yaguwera guherepa na gwa ligoya.
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;
Kuliheripiziya kwa mwenga namtumbira vitwatira vya kunja, gambira ntambu zya kudukusa viri zya maringisu nentu na kuvala vintu vya zahabu na nguwu zya beyi nkulu.
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.
Su uherepa wenu ufiruwa kulawirana na ntambu ya mngati mwa untu wa nakaka, uherepa yawunyala ndiri wa uheri na unyamaliru wa rohu, weni ndo wa mana nentu palongolu pa Mlungu.
5 For after this manner aforetime the holy women also, who hoped in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands:
Hangu ndo ntambu yawaliherepiziyiti pamakashu wadala wananagala yawamguwiriti na kumtumbira Mlungu kwa kulitula pasi pa wapalu wawu,
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.
gambira Sara ntambu yakalituliti pasi pa Aburahamu na kumshema yomberi mtuwa gwakuwi. Mwenga muwera vinu wahinga wakuwi handa pamutenda gaherepa pota kutiliziwa shintu shoseri.
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.
Ntambu iraa ayi mwenga wapalu, mulikali na wadala wenu kwa mahala, muwapanani ligoya pamuvimana kuwera womberi wawera legilegi na ntambu yawawera wahala pamuhera na mwenga manemu ga ukomu, mtendi hangu su kwahera shintu hashileweleri maluwa genu kwa Mlungu.
8 Finally, [be] ye all likeminded, compassionate, loving as brethren, tenderhearted, humbleminded:
Upeleru, mwenga mwawoseri mfiruwa kuwera na moyu gumu na pamuliwonera lusungu maweni mwenga na muweri wapoli na wananaga.
9 not rendering evil for evil, or reviling for reviling; but contrariwise blessing; for hereunto were ye called, that ye should inherit a blessing.
Namuwawuzilira wantu vidoda kwa vidoda, ama mayigilangu kwa mayigilangu kumbiti muwatekeleri, toziya mwenga mshemitwi na Mlungu mpati kugahala matekeleru.
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:
Malembu Mananagala galonga, “Muntu yakafiriti kuganemelera makaliru, na kugawona mashaka gaherepa, kalileweleri nakatakula makondola na kushapira kulonga upayira.
11 And let him turn away from evil, and do good; Let him seek peace, and pursue it.
Kaleki kutenda ukondola na katendi gaherepa, kayisakuli ponga na kuyikolera weri.
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.
Toziya masu ga Mtuwa gawalola walii yawawera waheri na kugapikanira maluwa gawu, Kumbiti kawatulira shisogu wantu yawatenda makondola.”
13 And who is he that will harm you, if ye be zealous of that which is good?
Ndo gaa hakawatenduwi mwenga handa pamuwera wagangamala mukutenda gaherepa?
14 But and if ye should suffer for righteousness’ sake, blessed [are ye]: and fear not their fear, neither be troubled;
Kumbiti ata pamfiruwa kupata ntabiku toziya ya kutenda yagamfiriziya Mlungu, su mtekelerwa! Namtira shilii shawatira womberi, namutulwa mukushashatika.
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:
Kumbiti mumkwisi Kristu kuwera Mtuwa mumyoyu mwenu. Muweri kala kumwankula muntu yoseri yakawakosiya litumbiru lyamuwera nali.
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.
Su mtendi hangu kwa lyoga na ligoya, kumbiti muweri na nfiru zyazitulanguziya mwahera likosa, su woseri pawawahigilanga kulawirana na mgenderanu guherepa yamuwera nagu mu Kristu, womberi hawasoniziwi kwa shilii shawawayowelera.
17 For it is better, if the will of God should so will, that ye suffer for well-doing than for evil-doing.
Toziya iherepa kutabika kwa kutenda maheri, Mlungu pakafira, kuliku kutabika kwa kutenda makondola.
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;
Su Kristu viraa katabisiyitwi na kuhowa kwa mala yimu hera toziya ya vidoda, yomberi yakaweriti muheri katabisiyitwi na kuhowa toziya ya wantu wakondola, su kawalanguziyi mwenga njira ya kumgendera Mlungu. Yomberi kalagitwi shinshimba kumbiti katenditwi mkomu murohu,
19 in which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison,
na kwa rohu vulaa yomberi kagenditi kuzibwelera rohu zilii zyaziweriti mushibetubetu
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:
yawalemiti kujimila pamakashu Mlungu pakawahepeleriti mumashaka ga Nuhu shipindi Safina payiweriti yankunyawiwa. Musafina amu, wantu watangala ndiri, wantu wanani hera pa wantu woseri ndo walopoziwitwi pamashi,
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;
na mashi geni gaweriti mfanu gwa ubatizu yawuwalopoziyiti mwenga vinu vulaa. Ubatizu ndo shisoweru ndiri shakuwusiya udoda munshimba kumbiti ndo lagilu lya nfiru iherepa kwa Mlungu. Liwalopoziyi mwenga kwa uzyukusiwu wa Yesu Kristu,
22 who is on the right hand of God, having gone into heaven; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.
yomberi yakagenditi kumpindi na vinu kalikala uwega wa kumliwu wa Mlungu, kankuwakolamlima wantumintumi wa kumpindi wa Mlungu woseri na ukulu na yawawera na makakala.
A Dove is Sent Forth from the Ark
