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,
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 Having been permitted to behold your reverently chaste behaviour, —
muni yati vilola matendu ginu chemwitama bwina na wa utopesa.
3 Whose adorning, let it be—not the outward, of plaiting the hair and wearing golden ornaments, or putting on of apparel,
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 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.
Nambu, kujinyambisa kuvya kwekuhuma mugati ya mitima yinu, kujinyambisa kwangahalibika, na mtima wabwina upoli, chenicho ndi chindu chabwina neju kwa Chapanga.
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:
Ndava chenichi ndi chavajinyambisi vadala va msopi va kadeni, vala vevamhuvali Chapanga. Vajinyambisi kwa kuvayidakila vagosi vavi.
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.
Ngati Sala cheamyidakili mngwana waki Ibulahimu, akamkemela bambu. Nyenye hinu muvi vana va Sala ngati mwikita gabwina changali kuyogopa.
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.
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 And, finally, all, being of one mind, having fellow—feeling, attached to the brethren, of tender affection, of lowly mind:
Kwa kumalikisa nijova naha, muvya na mtima umonga na kuhengelana lipyana, na kuganana ngati valongo, muvya vapoli na vangolongondi.
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.
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 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;
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 mischief, 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 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.
BAMBU akuvayangalila bwina vandu vevakumganisa na makutu gaki giyuwana bwina pevakumuyupa. Nambu BAMBU akuvayidakila lepi vevikita uhakau.”
13 Who, then, is he that shall harm you, if, for that which is good, ye become zealous?
Wu, yani mweihotola kuvalemasa nyenye ngati mwikangamala kukita gabwina?
14 Nevertheless, even if ye should suffer for righteousness’ sake, happy [are ye]! Their fear, however, do not fear, neither 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, 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:
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, in order that, wherein they speak against you, they may be put to shame who cast wanton insult on, your good behaviour in Christ.
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, as well-doers, if it should please the pleasure of God, to be suffering, than, as evil-doers:
Chabwina kung'ahika ndava ya kukita gabwina, ngati chenicho ndi cheigana Chapanga, kuliku kung'ahika ndava ya kukita gahakau.
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, —
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, even unto the spirits in prison, he went and proclaimed, —
Mewawa kwa njila ya Mpungu Msopi mwenuyo ndi akahamba kuzikokosela mipungu yeyavili muchifungu,
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, —
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 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, —
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 on the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, messengers and authorities and powers, having been made subject unto 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.
A Dove is Sent Forth from the Ark
