< 1 Peter 3 >
1 In like manner, ye wives, —submitting yourselves unto your own husbands; in order that, if any are not yielding unto the word, through their wives behaviour, they may, without the word, be won,
ᎾᏍᏉᏃ ᏂᎯ ᎢᏥᎨᏴ ᏗᏦᎯᏳᎯᏳ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ ᏗᎨᏥᏰᎯ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏃ ᎩᎶ ᎧᏃᎮᏛ ᏂᏓᏂᎧᎿᎭᏩᏕᎬᎾ ᏱᎩ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎾᏍᏉ ᎧᏃᎮᏛ ᎬᏗ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᏱᎨᏥᏎᎪᎩᏍᏓ [ ᎠᏂᎪᏩᏘᏍᎬ ] ᏄᏍᏛ ᎢᏣᎴᏂᏙᎲ ᎢᏥᎨᏴ,
2 Having been permitted to behold your reverently chaste behaviour, —
ᎠᎴ ᎠᏂᎪᏩᏗᏍᎬ ᎤᏲ ᏄᏓᏑᏴᎾ ᎢᏣᎴᏂᏙᎲ ᎤᎵᏠᏯᏍᏛ ᎦᎾᏰᎯᏍᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ.
3 Whose adorning, let it be—not the outward, of plaiting the hair and wearing golden ornaments, or putting on of apparel,
ᎠᎴ ᏕᏣᏣᏅᏍᎬ ᎥᏝᏍᏗ ᎦᏚᎢᏉ ᎡᎯ ᎠᏣᏅᏗ ᎨᏒ ᏱᎨᏎᏍᏗ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎣᏍᏗᏰᎬ ᎠᏍᏕᏯᏍᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ ᎠᎴ ᎠᏕᎸᏓᎶᏂᎨ ᎠᏣᏅᏙᏗ, ᎠᎴ ᏗᏄᏬ ᏛᏄᏬᏍᎬᎢ,
4 But the hidden character, of the heart, —in the incorruptible [ornament] of the quiet, and meek, spirit, which is, in presence of God, of great price.
ᎤᏕᎵᏒᏍᎩᏂ ᎣᏓᏅᏛ ᎡᎯ ᏴᏫ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏲᎩ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᏥᎩ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏓᏙᎵᏍᏗ ᎠᎴ ᎤᏓᏅᏘ ᎠᏓᏅᏙ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏙᏗᎧᏂᏍᎬ ᎤᏣᏘ ᏧᎬᏩᎶᏗ ᏥᎩ.
5 For, so, at one time, the holy women also, who directed their hope towards God, used to adorn themselves, being in submission unto their own husbands:
ᎾᏍᎩᏰᏃ ᎾᏍᏉ ᎾᎾᏛᏁᎮ ᎡᏘ ᎠᏃᏍᏛ ᎠᏂᎨᏴ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎠᎾᏓᏍᎦᏍᏙᏗᏍᎩ ᏓᎾᏣᏅᏍᎨᎢ, ᏚᏃᎯᏳᎭ ᏗᎬᏩᏂᏰᎯ,
6 As, Sarah, was obedient unto Abraham, calling him, lord, —whose children ye have become—so long as ye are doing good, and not bringing yourselves into fear of any single cause of alarm.

7 Ye husbands, in like manner, dwelling with them according to knowledge, —as unto a weaker vessel, unto the female [vessel], assigning honour, as joint—inheritors also of life’s favour, —to the end that unhindered may be, your prayers.

8 And, finally, all, being of one mind, having fellow—feeling, attached to the brethren, of tender affection, of lowly mind:
ᎤᎵᏍᏆᎸᏗᏃ ᎨᏒᎢ ᏂᎦᏗᏳ ᏌᏉᏉ ᏂᏕᏨᏁᏍᏗ ᏕᏣᏓᏅᏛᎢ; ᏕᏣᏓᏙᎵᎨᏍᏗ; ᏕᏣᏓᎨᏳᏎᏍᏗ ᎢᏣᎵᏅᏢᎢ; ᎢᏣᏓᏙᎵᏣᏗᏳ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ; ᎢᏣᏓᏙᎵᏍᏗ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ;
9 Not returning evil for evil, nor reviling for reviling, but, on the contrary, bestowing a blessing, —because, hereunto, have ye been called, in order that, a blessing, ye might inherit.
ᏞᏍᏗ ᎤᏲ ᏁᏨᏁᎲ ᏱᏣᏞᎨᏍᏗ ᎤᏲ ᏱᏂᏣᏓᏛᏁᎮᏍᏗ, ᎠᎴ ᎦᏰᏥᏐᏢᏔᏅ ᏞᏍᏗ ᏱᏣᏞᎨᏍᏗ ᏱᎨᏣᏓᏐᏢᏗᏍᎨᏍᏗ, ᎣᏍᏛᏉᏍᏗᏂ ᎨᏥᏁᏤᎮᏍᏗ; ᎢᏥᎦᏔᎭᏰᏃ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏣᏛᏁᏗᏱ ᎡᏥᏯᏅᏛ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏣᏤᎵ ᎢᏳᎵᏍᏙᏗᏱ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎡᏥᏁᏤᏗᏱ.
10 For, he that desireth to love, life, and to see good days, Let him cause his tongue to cease from mischief, and lips, that they speak not deceit;
“ᎩᎶᏰᏃ ᎬᏅ ᎤᎨᏳᏎᏍᏗ, ᎠᎴ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎢᎦ ᏧᎪᏩᏛᏗᏱ ᎤᏚᎵᏍᎨᏍᏗ, ᏩᏲᏍᏙᏓᏏ ᎦᏃᎪᎢ ᎤᏲ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᏚᎭᏁᎦᎸ ᎦᎶᏄᎮᏛ ᎤᏁᎢᏍᏗᏱ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ;
11 Let him turn away from mischief, and do good, Let him seek peace, and pursue it;

12 Because, the eyes of the Lord, are towards the righteous, and his ears, unto their supplication, —Whereas, the face of the Lord, is against them that are doing mischievous things.
ᏱᎰᏩᏰᏃ ᏗᎦᏙᎵ ᏓᎧᎿᎭᏩᏗᏙ ᎤᎾᏓᏅᏘ, ᎠᎴ ᏗᎦᎴᏂ ᏚᏛᏓᏍᏗ ᎠᎾᏓᏙᎵᏍᏗᏍᎬᎢ, ᎤᎧᏛᏍᎩᏂ ᏱᎰᏩ ᏕᏡᏔᏅ ᎤᏲ ᏧᏂᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎯ.”
13 Who, then, is he that shall harm you, if, for that which is good, ye become zealous?
ᎦᎪᏃ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎣᏏᏅ ᏱᏂᏨᎦ ᎢᏳᏃ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎨᏒ ᎢᏥᏍᏓᏩᏕᎩ ᏱᎩ?
14 Nevertheless, even if ye should suffer for righteousness’ sake, happy [are ye]! Their fear, however, do not fear, neither be troubled;
ᎢᏳ ᎠᎴ ᏚᏳᎪᏛ ᎨᏒ ᏅᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᏍᎨᏍᏗ ᎢᏥᎩᎵᏲᎨᏍᏗ, ᏅᏩᏙᎯᏯᏛᏉ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ. ᎠᎴ ᏞᏍᏗ ᏱᏥᏍᎦᎢᎮᏍᏗ ᎤᏂᎾᏰᎯᏍᏗᏳ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᏞᏍᏗ ᏱᏣᏕᏯᏔᏁᎮᏍᏗ;
15 But, the Lord Christ, hallow ye in your hearts, ready always for a defence, unto every one that is asking you a reason concerning, the hope within you, —nevertheless, with meekness and reverence:
ᎡᏥᎸᏉᏗᏍᎨᏍᏗᏍᎩᏂ ᏱᎰᏩ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏙᏗᏣᏓᏅᏛᎢ. ᎠᎴ ᏯᏃᏉ ᎢᏨᏛᏅᎢᏍᏕᏍᏗ ᎾᏂᎥ ᎩᎶ ᎨᏣᏛᏛᎲᏍᎩ ᎤᏚᎩ ᎢᏨᏒ ᎤᎬᏩᎵ, ᏗᏥᏃᏁᏗᏱ ᎤᏓᏅᏘ ᎠᎴ ᎤᎾᏰᎯᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎢᏨᏙᏗᏱ.
16 Having, a good conscience, in order that, wherein they speak against you, they may be put to shame who cast wanton insult on, your good behaviour in Christ.
ᎠᎴ ᎢᏥᏍᏆᏂᎪᏕᏍᏗ ᎣᏍᏛ ᏗᎫᎪᏙᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏐᏅ ᏥᎨᏥᏃᎮᎭ ᎤᏲ ᏧᏂᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎯ ᏥᎨᏦᏎᎭ, ᏯᎾᏕᎰᎯ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎦᏰᎪᎩ ᎨᏥᏃᎮᏍᎩ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎢᏣᎴᏂᏙᎲ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᏕᏥᎧᎿᎭᏩᏗᏒᎢ ᎠᏂᏁᎢᏍᏗᏍᎩ.
17 For it is, better, as well-doers, if it should please the pleasure of God, to be suffering, than, as evil-doers:
ᎤᏟᏰᏃ ᎣᏏᏳ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏱᏄᏍᏗ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎠᏓᏅᏖᏍᎬᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏥᎩᎵᏲᎢᏍᏗᏱ ᎣᏍᏛ ᏕᏥᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎲᎢ, ᎠᏃ ᎤᏲ ᏕᏥᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎲ ᎢᏥᎩᎵᏲᎢᏍᏗᏱ.
18 Because, Christ also, once for all, concerning sins, died, —Just in behalf of unjust, —in order that he might introduce us unto God; being put to death, indeed, in flesh, but made alive in spirit, —
ᎦᎶᏁᏛᏰᏃ ᎾᏍᏉ ᏌᏉ ᏄᎩᎵᏲᏤ ᎠᏍᎦᏅᎢᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎤᏍᏛᏕᎢ, ᎠᏍᎦᎾ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᎠᏂᏍᎦᎾ ᏚᎩᎵᏲᏤᎴᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯᏱ ᏫᏗᎦᏘᏃᎯᏍᏗᏱ; ᎠᏥᎴᎢ ᎤᏇᏓᎵ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎠᏎᏃ ᎠᏓᏅᏙ ᎤᏩᏂᏕᎢ.
19 In which, even unto the spirits in prison, he went and proclaimed, —
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎾᏍᏉ [ ᎠᏓᏅᏙ ] ᎤᏩᏔᏁ ᎤᏪᏅᏎ ᏫᏚᎵᏥᏙᏁᎴ ᏗᏓᏅᏙ ᏗᏓᏍᏚᏗᏱ ᏣᏂᏯᎠ,
20 [Spirits] unyielding at one time, when the longsuffering of God was holding forth a welcome in the days of Noah, there being in preparation an ark—[going] into which, a few, that is eight, souls, were brought safely through by means of water, —

21 Which [water] in manner corresponding, doth, now, save, you also—even immersion, —not a putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the request unto God, for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, —

22 Who is on the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, messengers and authorities and powers, having been made subject unto him.
