1 Phixxirosa 3
1 Hessaththoka macheto! inte inte azinatas azazetite. Hessatho issi issi azinati Xoossa qaala ammanonttayta gidikkoka coo mela ba machcheta lo7etethan xalala simmontta agettena.
Wives, in the same way, submit yourselves to your husbands, so that even if they refuse to believe the word, they will be won over without words by the behavior of their wives
2 Istti simmana danda7izay inte geeshatethane inte ase bonchiza duusu dizayssa beydikko.
when they see your pure and reverent demeanor.
3 Inte lo7etethi coo mela hu7e dathanine worqan gexxetethan, al7o mayo mayon, coo mela ayfen beettiza geexen gidopo.
Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair or gold jewelry or fine clothes,
4 Inte lo7oy Xoossa sinthan wagara diza keehi bonchetidazine dhayontta gexxen, ashiketethan, addatethanine ayanan gexxettida wozina garisan qoteti diza giddo wozina lo7eteth gido.
but from the inner disposition of your heart, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in God’s sight.
5 Beni wode ba ufayss Xoossan oothida geesha macashati gexxettiday hayssa malankko. Istti ba azinatas azazettida.
For this is how the holy women of the past adorned themselves. They put their hope in God and were submissive to their husbands,
6 Istti azazetidaykka Saaray Abirame “Ta godo!” gaada azazettidayssa malakko. Inteka lo7o miishi oothikone issi iitta miishey intena daganthontta aggiko inte Saara naytakko.
just as Sarah obeyed Abraham and called him lord. And you are her children if you do what is right and refuse to give way to fear.
7 Azinato! inte inte machchetara akekan issife deyte. Istti intefe daburancha medheteth gidida gishshine qasseka Xoossi coo mela kiyatethan immiza deyo istti intenara issife laatanayssa gishshi inte istta bonchite. Inte heyssatho oothiko inte woossa dhuphiza miishey deena.
Husbands, in the same way, treat your wives with consideration as a delicate vessel, and with honor as fellow heirs of the gracious gift of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered.
8 Hessafe hara baggara qass inte issay issara siiqon diite. Hara ura bolla gakkiza meto inte meto mala xeellite. Inte inte garisan ishantta mala siiqettite. Ashikistane kiyata gidite.
Finally, all of you, be like-minded and sympathetic, love as brothers, be tenderhearted and humble.
9 Anjjite attin isttas iitta cashes, cashshe zaaropite. Inte xeeygetiday hessaththo oothid anjjo laatanaskko.
Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.
10 Geesha maxaafay giza mala “Deyon daana koyzayine lo7o gallasata beyanas koyiza uray ba duunape iitta hasa7ontta malane ba meterishatika gene hasa7ontta mala naageto.
For, “Whoever would love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from deceitful speech.
11 Iitta yoope hakkone lo7o ootho; saroteth koyone kaallo.
He must turn from evil and do good; he must seek peace and pursue it.
12 Goda ayfeti xiillota bagga xeelletes. Iza haythetika istta woossa siyanas doya deetes. Hinko iitta oothizayta qass Goday ba hanqo ayfeso bessana”
For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are inclined to their prayer. But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”
13 Inte lo7o oothanas miinetiko inte bolla iitta miishe gaathanay oonee?
Who can harm you if you are zealous for what is good?
14 Inte lo7o oothida gishshi waaye beykoka inte anjjo ekkana. Asay inte bolla iitta oothanas mandetizayssas babbofitene daro qopofite.
But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. “Do not fear what they fear; do not be shaken.”
15 Goda Kiristoosa inte wozinan bonchitene iza inte deyos Goda histtite. Intes diza ufayssa gishshi intena oychizaytas wurisos malthe immanas wurso wode giigeti uttite.
But in your hearts sanctify Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give a defense to everyone who asks you the reason for the hope that is in you. But respond with gentleness and respect,
16 Inte isttas immana malthey qass ashiketethanine bonchon gido. Inte Kiristoosayta gidida gishshi intes diza lo7o amaleza gishshi iitta hasa7iza asay ba iitta hasa7an yeellatana mala intes lo7o qopay deyo.
keeping a clear conscience, so that those who slander you may be put to shame by your good behavior in Christ.
17 Xoossa shene gidiko inte iitta ootho oothidi waayetanayssyafe lo7o ootho oothidi waayetiko lo7okko.
For it is better, if it is God’s will, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.
18 Kiristoosayka nuna Xoossako shiishanas izi ba hu7es xiillokko shin hanko xiillo gidontta nu nagara gishshi nam7anthettontta mala issi to waayettidi hayqides. Izi ashon hayqides shin ayanan qass paxides.
For Christ also suffered for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive in the Spirit,
19 Hessa he ayanan qasho keeththan diza shempotako biidi isttas miishiracho qaala yootides.
in whom He also went and preached to the spirits in prison
20 Heyti heen woyne keeththan diza shempoti kase Nohe wode markabezi ootheti giigishin istti simmana mala Xoossi danda7an naagishin nuni nessi azazettokko gidaytakko. He markabezan gellin haathey istta ashidayta qooday osppun gidida guuthata asata xalalakko.
who disobeyed long ago when God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ark was being built. In the ark a few people, only eight souls, were saved through water.
21 Hessi he haathezi ha7i qass inte izan attiza xinqatte lemusokko. Hayssi xinqattey qita bolla geeyanas meccetethi gidontta geesha qopa ekanas Xoossako shiishiza woossakko. Izi intena ashanayka Yesus Kiristoosa dentha baggarakko.
And this water symbolizes the baptism that now saves you also—not the removal of dirt from the body, but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God—through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
22 Izi pude salo biidi ha7i Xoossa achchan dees. kiitanchatine godatethi isttas dizayti wolqamataka izas haarettida.
who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, with angels, authorities, and powers subject to Him.
A Dove is Sent Forth from the Ark
