1 Peter 3
1 Married women, in the same way, be submissive to your husbands, so that even if some of them disbelieve the Message, they may, apart from the Message, be won over by the daily life of their wives, after watching your daily life--
Abakazi abafumbo, mu ngeri y’emu muwulirenga babbammwe, bwe waba nga waliwo abatagondera kigambo kya Katonda, balyoke baleetebwe mu kukkiriza olw’empisa zammwe ennungi ne bwe muba nga temuliiko kye mubagambye.
2 so full of reverence, and so blameless!
Kubanga bajja kulaba empisa zammwe ennungi nga mubassaamu ekitiibwa.
3 Your adornment ought not to be a merely outward thing--one of plaiting the hair, putting on jewelry, or wearing beautiful dresses.
Okweyonja kwammwe kulemenga kuba kwa kungulu: nga mu misono gy’enviiri n’egy’amajjolobera ag’ebyo ebyambalwa mu bulago ne ku matu, n’egy’ebyambalo.
4 Instead of that, it should be a new nature within--the imperishable ornament of a gentle and peaceful spirit, which is indeed precious in the sight of God.
Naye kube kwa mu mutima munda; okweyonja okutayonooneka okw’omwoyo omuwombeefu era omuteefu, era okwo kwe kw’omuwendo ennyo mu maaso ga Katonda.
5 For in ancient times also this was the way the holy women who set their hopes upon God used to adorn themselves, being submissive to their husbands.
Kubanga n’abakazi ab’edda abatukuvu abaasuubiriranga mu Katonda, bwe batyo bwe beeyonjanga era nga bawulize eri ba bbaabwe.
6 Thus, for instance, Sarah obeyed Abraham, acknowledging his authority over her. And you have become Sarah's children if you do what is right and permit nothing whatever to terrify you.
Saala bw’atyo bwe yali; yawuliranga nnyo Ibulayimu, ng’amussaamu ekitiibwa ng’amuyita mukama we. Kale obanga mwagala okuba bawala ba Saala, mubenga ba mpisa nnungi, olwo tewaabengawo kibatiisa kyonna.
7 Married men, in the same way, live with your wives with a clear recognition of the fact that they are weaker than you. Yet, since you are heirs with them of God's free gift of Life, treat them with honour; so that your prayers may not be hindered.
Nammwe abasajja abafumbo, mutegeere nga bakazi bammwe banafu, noolwekyo mubakwatenga n’obwegendereza. Era mubassengamu ekitiibwa nga mumanyi nga nabo Katonda alibaweera wamu nammwe, obulamu obutaggwaawo. Bwe munaakolanga bwe mutyo okusaba kwammwe tekuziyizibwenga.
8 In conclusion, all of you should be of one mind, quick to sympathize, kind to the brethren, tenderhearted, lowly-minded,
Eky’enkomerero, mwenna mubenga n’emmeeme emu, buli omu alumirirwenga munne, era mwagalanenga ng’abooluganda ddala, mubenga ba kisa era beetoowaze.
9 not requiting evil with evil nor abuse with abuse, but, on the contrary, giving a blessing in return, because a blessing is what you have been called by God to inherit.
Temuwooleranga ggwanga. Abavumye, mmwe temumuvumanga. Wabula mumusabirenga mukisa, kubanga ekyo kye mwayitirwa, mulyoke muweebwe omukisa.
10 For "He who wishes to be well-satisfied with life and see happy days-- let him restrain his tongue from evil, and his lips from deceitful words;
Kubanga ekyawandiikibwa kigamba nti, “Ayagala okufuna obulamu n’okubeera mu ddembe, aziyizenga olulimi lwe okwogera ekibi, n’emimwa gye okwogera ebyobukuusa.
11 Let him turn from evil, and do good; Let him inquire for peace and go in pursuit of it.
Era yeewalenga okukola ebibi, akolenga ebirungi. Anoonyenga emirembe era atambulirenga mu gyo.
12 For the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and His ears are open to their supplication; but the face of the Lord is set against evil-doers."
Kubanga abatuukirivu Mukama abatunuulira n’ekisa, n’amatu ge gawuliriza bye basaba. Kyokka aboonoonyi abatunuuliza bukambwe.”
13 And who will be able to harm you, if you show yourselves zealous for that which is good?
Bwe munaafubanga okukola ekituufu, ani anaabakolanga akabi?
14 But even if you suffer for righteousness' sake, you are to be envied. So do not be alarmed by their threats, nor troubled;
Naye era ne bwe munaabonyaabonyezebwanga olw’obutuukirivu, mulina omukisa. “Temutya bye batya; temutekemuka.”
15 but in your hearts consecrate Christ as Lord, being always ready to make your defence to any one who asks from you a reason for the hope which you cherish.
Mutyenga Mukama waffe Kristo mu mitima gyammwe. Era bulijjo mubenga beetegefu okuddamu buli ababuuza okunnyonnyola essuubi lyammwe,
16 Yet argue modestly and cautiously, keeping your consciences free from guilt, so that, when you are spoken against, those who slander your good Christian lives may be put to shame.
era muddengamu n’obuwombeefu, awamu n’eggonjebwa. Mubenga ba mutima mulungi, abo ababavuma era ababoogerako ekibi olw’empisa zammwe ennungi olw’okuba nga muli ba Kristo, balyoke baswale.
17 For it is better that you should suffer for doing right, if such be God's will, than for doing evil;
Okubonyaabonyezebwanga olw’okukola obulungi, bwe kuba nga kwe kusiima kwa Katonda, kusinga okubonyaabonyezebwa olw’okukola ekibi.
18 because Christ also once for all died for sins, the innocent One for the guilty many, in order to bring us to God. He was put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit,
Kubanga ddala Kristo yabonyaabonyezebwa olw’ebibi omulundi gumu, Omuntu Omutuukirivu ku lw’abatali batuukirivu, alyoke abaleete eri Katonda bwe yattibwa mu mubiri, kyokka n’abeera mulamu mu mwoyo.
19 in which He also went and proclaimed His Message to the spirits that were in prison,
Era omwoyo gwe, gwe gwagenda okubuulira Enjiri emyoyo egyali mu kkomera.
20 who in ancient times had been disobedient, while God's longsuffering was patiently waiting in the days of Noah during the building of the Ark, in which a few persons--eight in number--were brought safely through the water.
Egyo gy’emyoyo egy’abo edda abaagaana okuwulira Katonda ng’akyabagumiikiriza, mu kiseera Nuuwa kye yazimbiramu eryato, abantu abatono, omunaana gwokka, mwe baawonyezebwa amazzi.
21 And, corresponding to that figure, the water of baptism now saves you--not the washing off of material defilement, but the craving of a good conscience after God--through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
Amazzi ago gaali kabonero ak’okubatizibwa mulyoke mulokolebwe kaakano. Kubanga okubatizibwa tekitegeeza kunaazibwako kko lya mubiri, wabula kitegeeza kwewaayo eri Katonda nga tumaliridde okukola by’ayagala, ng’atuwadde omutima omulongoofu olw’okuzuukira kwa Yesu Kristo,
22 who is at God's right hand, having gone into Heaven, angels and authorities and powers having been made subject to Him.
eyalinnya mu ggulu era atudde ku mukono ogwa ddyo ogwa Katonda, ng’afuga bamalayika n’aboobuyinza, n’abaamaanyi ab’omu ggulu.
