1 Peter 3
1 You women [believers], just like [slaves should submit themselves to their masters], submit yourselves to your husbands. Do that in order that if any of them do not believe the message [about Christ], they may become believers without [it being necessary for] you to say anything to them [about their relationship to God].
Niini nga pamaagi, kamo nga mga asawa kinahanglan nga magpailalom kamo sa inyong mga kaugalingong bana. Buhata kini aron, bisan kung ang pipila ka mga lalaki makasupak sa pulong, tungod sa pamatasan sa ilang mga asawa madaog sila bisan wala ang pulong.
2 [They will believe in Christ] when they see that you respect them and that your way of life is pure.
Kay makita nila ang inyong tinud-anay nga pamatasan uban ang pagtahod.
3 Do not be [trying to make] yourselves beautiful by decorating the outside [of your bodies], such as (by the way you comb your hair/by your hair [style]) or by wearing gold jewelry and fine clothes.
Himoa kini dili sa pagpadayan-dayan: pagsalapid sa buhok, pagpangalahas sa bulawan, o pagsul-ob ug mahalon nga bisti.
4 Instead, make your (inner beings/hearts) [beautiful] with qualities/attitudes that will not fade away. Specifically, have a humble and quiet/calm attitude, which is something that God considers to be very valuable.
Hinuon, himoa kini uban sa kinasuloran sa kasingkasing sa tawo, ug ang molungtad nga kaanyag sa malumo ug malinawon nga espiritu, nga diin bililhon atubangan sa Dios.
5 (The devout women/The women who habitually worshipped God) who lived long ago and who trusted in God made themselves beautiful [by having attitudes] like that, and by being submissive to their husbands.
Kay ang balaang babaye nagpaanyag sa ilang kaugalingon sa niini nga pamaagi. Aduna silay pagsalig sa Dios ug nagpailalom sila sa ilang mga kaugalingong bana.
6 Sarah, for example, obeyed [her husband] Abraham and called him ‘my master’. You will be [as though you are] [MET] her daughters if you do what is right and are not afraid [of what your husbands or anyone else may do to you because you are believers].
Sa niini nga paagi mituman si Sara kang Abraham ug gitawag niya siya ug ginoo. Karon iya na kamong mga anak kung mobuhat kamo sa maayo ug kung dili kamo mahadlok sa kasamok.
7 You men [who are believers], just like your wives should respect you, you should conduct your lives in an appropriate way with them. Treat them respectfully, realizing that they are [usually] weaker than you are, and realizing that (they share with you/both of you have) the gift [that God has kindly given to you, which is eternal] life. Do this so that nothing will hinder you from praying (OR, hinder [God] ([from answering/from doing what you ask for]) when you pray).
Sa samang paagi, kamong mga bana kinahanglan magpuyo uban sa inyong mga asawa sumala sa pagsinabtanay, ingon nga usa ka luya nga sudlanan, ang babaye. Kinahanglan magtahod kamo kanila ingon nga isig ka manununod sa gasa sa kinabuhi. Buhata kini aron nga ang inyong mga pag-ampo dili mababagan.
8 To end [this part of my letter], [I say to] all of you, agree with each other [in what you think]. Be sympathetic [toward each other]. Love [each other as] members of the same family [should]. Act compassionately [toward each other]. Be humble.
Sa kataposan, kamong tanan, maghiusa sa hunahuna, pagmaluluy-on, paghigugmaay ingon nga magsoon, pagmalumo, ug pagmapaubsanon.
9 [When people do] evil things to you or insult you, do not (retaliate/repay them by) doing evil things to them or insulting them. Instead, [ask God to] bless them, because that is what you have been chosen [by God] {what [God] called you} to do, in order that you may receive a blessing [from him].
Ayaw balosi ug daotan ang daotan o pagtamay ang pagtamay. Sa laing bahin, padayon sa pagpanalangin, tungod niini gitawag kamo, aron makapanunod kamo sa panalangin.
10 [Consider what the Psalmist wrote about the proper way of conducting our lives], As for those who want (to enjoy life/to live happily) and experience good [things happening to them every] day, they must not say [MTY] something that is evil or say [MTY] something that deceives others.
“Ang usa nga buot mohigugma sa kinabuhi ug makita ang maayong mga adlaw kinahanglan pahunongon ang iyang dila gikan sa daotan ug ang iyang ngabil sa pagpanglimbong.
11 They must continually turn away from [doing] anything that is evil, and must do things that are good [instead]. They must deeply desire to enable [people to act] peacefully toward each other; they must zealously [urge people to act in a] peaceful way,
Talikdan na niya ang daotan ug mobuhat kung unsa ang maayo. Kinahanglan pangitaon niya ang kalinaw ug mopadayon niini.
12 because the Lord sees [MTY] what righteous people do [and he appreciates/likes what they do]. He listens to righteous people when they pray, [and he answers them]. But he is [MTY] opposed to those who do evil things.
Ang mata sa Ginoo nagtan-aw sa matarong, ug ang iyang dalunggan nakadungog sa ilang mga paghangyo. Apan ang dagway sa Ginoo nagbatok niadtong nagbuhat ug daotan.”
13 If you (are eager/try very hard) to do good things, [most people] will not harm you. [RHQ]
Si kinsa man ang mosakit kaninyo kung nagtinguha kamo sa maayo?
14 But even if you suffer because of [doing] what is right, [God] will bless you. [Do as Isaiah wrote]: “Do not be afraid of people who (threaten you/say things to cause you to be afraid of what they might do to you), and do not worry about [DOU] what they [might do to you].”
Apan kung nag-antos kamo tungod sa pagkamatarong, bulahan kamo. Ayaw kahadlok kung unsa ang ilang gikahadlokan. Ayaw ug kabalaka.
15 Instead, acknowledge that Christ is the one who is in complete control [of your lives]. Always be ready to answer everyone who demands that you tell them about what you confidently expect [God to do for you].
Hinuon, igahin ang Ginoo nga Cristo sa inyong mga kasingkasing ingon nga balaan. Pag-andam kanunay sa pagtubag sa matag-usa nga mangutana kaninyo kung nganong kamo adunay pagsalig sa Dios. Buhata kini uban sa pagpaubos ug pagtahod.
16 But answer them humbly and respectfully, and make sure that you (do/have done) nothing wrong, in order that those who say evil things about you may be ashamed when they see the good way in which you are conducting yourselves because of your relationship with Christ.
Pagbaton sa maayo nga konsensiya aron ang mga tawo nga nagtamay sa inyong maayo nga kinabuhi diha kang Cristo maulawan tungod kay nagsulti sila batok kaninyo ingon nga kamo nagabuhat ug daotan.
17 [It may be that God wants you] to suffer. But it is better to do good things, [even if you suffer for doing them], than to do evil things and suffer [for doing that].
Mas maayo, kung ang Dios nagtinguha, nga kamo nag-antos pagbuhat sa maayo kaysa pagbuhat ug daotan.
18 [I say that] because Christ died once for the sake of people who have sinned. He was a righteous person who died for unrighteous people. He died in order that (he might bring us to/we might begin an intimate relationship with) God. [During the time that he had] an ordinary body, he was killed {people killed him}, but [God’s] Spirit caused him to become alive again.
Si Cristo usab nag-antos sa makausa alang sa mga sala. Siya nga matarong nag-antos alang kanato, nga dili matarong, aron iya kitang dal-on ngadto sa Dios. Gipatay siya diha sa unod, apan nabuhi siya pinaagi sa Espiritu.
19 The Spirit also helped him as he went to proclaim [God’s victory to the evil] spirits whom God had imprisoned [in the heavens] (OR, to the spirits of those who [had died, and who] were in the place where the spirits of dead people are).
Pinaagi sa Espiritu, miadto siya ug nagsangyaw sa mga espiritu nga sa karon binilanggo.
20 Long ago, during the time that Noah was building a big boat, [those evil spirits] disobeyed God when he waited patiently [PRS] [to see if people would turn from their evil behavior]. Only a few people were saved {[God] saved only a few people} [in that boat]. Specifically, [God] brought only eight persons safely through the waters [of the flood], [while all the others drowned in it].
Nagsupak sila sa panahon nga nagpailob ang Dios sa pagpa-abot sa mga adlaw ni Noe, sa mga adlaw sa paghimo sa arka, ug ang Dios nagluwas sa pipila ka mga tawo—walo ka mga kalag—pinaagi sa tubig.
21 That water, [by means of which eight people were saved when God punished the other people] [MET], represents [the water in which we are] baptized [to show that God has] saved us [from being punished]. The water in which we are baptized does not remove dirt from our bodies. Instead, [it shows that] we are requesting [God to assure us] that he has removed our guilt [for having sinned]. And because Jesus Christ became alive again after he died, [we know that God accepted his sacrifice for us and because of that he was able to remove our guilt].
Usa kini ka hulagway sa bawtismo nga nagluwas kaninyo karon—dili lang sa paghugas sa buling sa lawas, apan ingon nga pagdangop sa maayong konsensiya ngadto sa Dios—pinaagi sa pagkabanhaw ni Jesu-Cristo.
22 Christ has gone into heaven and is ruling [MTY] in the place of highest honor (next to God/at God’s side), after [God] caused all the evil and powerful spirit beings [DOU] to be made subject to him.
Si Cristo anaa sa tuong kamot sa Dios. Miadto siya sa langit. Ang mga anghel, ang kagamhanan, ug mga gahom kinahanglan magpailalom kaniya.
