1 Peter 3
1 In this way, you who are wives should submit to your own husbands. Do this so even if some men are disobedient to the word, they may be won without a word, through their wives' behavior.
Tasia bangma in, zi te awng, na pasal te thu ni vun; Pathian thu a ni nuam ngawl pasal te zong kammal kihel ngawl in zite i ngamtat phatna taw zo tu hi;
2 For they will have seen your sincere behavior with respect.
Taciang amate in a thiangtho ngamtatna le a zatakna mu khawm tu hi.
3 Let it be done not with outward ornaments such as braided hair, jewels of gold, or fashionable clothing.
Na ki pua dan uh te sia a puasang kipua na a tatuam, sampheak, kham taw kizep dan a tatuam, puansil nikten te taw hi heak tahen;
4 Instead, let it be done with the inner person of the heart, and the lasting beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious before God.
Ahihang nunneam le om hithiat na thaa, note i thinsung ah a ki seal a tul thei ngawl kipuana hi zaw tahen, tasia in Pathian muna ah manpha mama hi.
5 For this is how holy women long ago who hoped in God adorned themselves, by submitting to their husbands.
Banghangziam cile nidanglai Pathian a muang nupi thiangtho te in hibang in, a pasal te thu nit na taw amate le amate kipua uh hi:
6 In this way Sarah obeyed Abraham and called him her lord. You are now her children if you do what is good and if you are not afraid of trouble.
Sarah in Abraham thu ni a, topa awng, ci in a sap bang in: note zong a pha na sep uh sung theampo, lau ngawl le kita ngawl in na om uh ahile Sarah tanu te na hi uh hi.
7 In the same way, you husbands should live with your wives according to understanding, as with a weaker container, a woman. You should give them honor as fellow heirs of the grace of life. Do this so that your prayers will not be hindered.
Tasia bangma in no pasal te, na zi te uh sia a tampal tungbeal dom bang in ahizong, thuthiamna nuntakna ngamhlua khawm te bang in ahizong, zatakna pia vun a, heakna taw teangkhawm vun; tabang hile na thunget na uh te hong khak ngawl tu hi.
8 Finally, all of you, be likeminded, compassionate, loving as brothers, tenderhearted, and humble.
A tawpna ah, note theampo thu kisi in om vun, khat le khat tung ah kikhualna nei vun, u le nau bang in ki-it vun, ki ciliap vun a, ki thol nuam na hi tavun:
9 Do not pay back evil for evil or insult for insult. On the contrary, continue to bless, because for this you were called, that you might inherit a blessing.
Siatna sia siatna taw thukkik heak vun, hong ngalvawt te ngalvawt kik heak vun: ahihang Pathian in thupha piak tu in hongsam hi, ci phawk in thupha pia zaw vun; tabang in thupha sia ngamh in na lua tu uh hi.
10 “The one who wants to love life and see good days should stop his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit.
Banghangziam cile nuntakna a it te le hunpha a mu nuam te in leii i siatna pan kideak hen a, a kam taw ngual theam heak tahen:
11 Let him turn away from what is bad and do what is good. Let him seek peace and pursue it.
A pha ngawl te pial hen a, a pha te seam tahen; kilemna zong in del tahen.
12 The eyes of the Lord see the righteous, and his ears hear their requests. But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”
Banghangziam cile Topa i mitte sia a thutang te tung ah om a, amate thungetna ngai tu in a nakheng te zong daw hi: ahihang Topa mai ah siatna a vawt te sia langpan hi.
13 Who is the one who will harm you if you are eager to do what is good?
A pha a zui te na hi uh le akua in hong vawtsia tu ziam?
14 But if you suffer because of righteousness, you are blessed. Do not fear what they fear. Do not be troubled.
Ahihang thutang suana atu in na thuak uh ahile thuphatoai te na hi uh hi: amate i thawmvauna te lau heak vun, buai zong buai heak vun;
15 Instead, set apart the Lord Christ in your hearts as holy. Always be ready to answer everyone who asks you why you have confidence in God. Do this with meekness and respect.
Ahihang na thin sung uh ah Topa Pathian upat vun: note sung ah lametna thu hong dong te nunneam le kitakna taw hil thei tu in tatsat ngawl in kidawm vun:
16 Have a good conscience so that the people who insult your good life in Christ may be ashamed because they are speaking against you as if you were evildoers.
Christ sung ah a pha na ngamtatzia uh te sia a man ngawl pi hong mawsiat te in, na pha ngawl seam te bang in, hong zawnsak ciang, amate a maizum thei zawk natu in a pha khentel theina thinsung nei tavun.
17 It is better, if God desires, that you suffer for doing good than for doing evil.
Banghangziam cile, na pha ngawl na sep uh hu in haksatna na thuak uh sang in, Pathian deina ahile phatna na vawt uh hu in haksatna thuak sia phazaw hi.
18 Christ also suffered once for sins. He who is righteous suffered for us, who were unrighteous, so that he would bring us to God. He was put to death in the flesh, but he was made alive by the Spirit.
Banghangziam cile Christ zong mawna atu in thuak hi, mi thutang in mi thutang ngawl te atu in thuak hi, tabang in Pathian kung ah hong paipui tu in cilesa sung ah thalupna thuak napi, Thaa in nungtasak kik hi:
19 By the Spirit, he went and preached to the spirits who are now in prison.
Tua Thaa in thongsung ah a om thaa te kung ah pai in thuhil hi;
20 They were disobedient when the patience of God was waiting in the days of Noah, in the days of the building of an ark, and God saved a few people—eight souls—by means of the water.
Hi te sia Noah tembaw a saklai in Pathian in thinsautak in ngak napi, thuni nuam ngawl te a hi uh hi, tembaw sung ah tawmbek ahi, mihing liat bek tuisung pan in ngupna nga hi.
21 This is a symbol of the baptism that saves you now—not as a washing away of dirt from the body, but as the appeal of a good conscience to God—through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Tua thu in hong telsaknop tuiphumna sia, tu in Jesus Christ a thawkikna tungtawn in hong ngum hi, tua tuiphumna sia i cilesa sung ah a niin te hong sil in, a sia le pha khentel theina thinsung pha taw, Pathian kung ah kiciamna vawtna hi zaw hi:
22 Christ is at the right hand of God. He went into heaven. Angels, authorities, and powers must submit to him.
Ama sia vantung ah kaato zo a, Pathian ziatsang ah om hi, taciang vantung mite, thuneina le vangletna theampo i tung ah thu nei hi.
