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.
In like manner, let the wives be in subjection to their own husbands; that, indeed, if any obey not the word, they, without the word, may be won by the behavior of their wives,
2 Istti simmana danda7izay inte geeshatethane inte ase bonchiza duusu dizayssa beydikko.
(when they behold you chaste behavior, joined with reverence: )
3 Inte lo7etethi coo mela hu7e dathanine worqan gexxetethan, al7o mayo mayon, coo mela ayfen beettiza geexen gidopo.
whose adorning, let it not be that which is external--the plaiting of hair, trinkets of gold, or finery of dress;
4 Inte lo7oy Xoossa sinthan wagara diza keehi bonchetidazine dhayontta gexxen, ashiketethan, addatethanine ayanan gexxettida wozina garisan qoteti diza giddo wozina lo7eteth gido.
but--the hidden man of the heart, with the incorruptible ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which, in the sight of God, is of great value.
5 Beni wode ba ufayss Xoossan oothida geesha macashati gexxettiday hayssa malankko. Istti ba azinatas azazettida.
For thus, anciently, the holy women, also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands;
6 Istti azazetidaykka Saaray Abirame “Ta godo!” gaada azazettidayssa malakko. Inteka lo7o miishi oothikone issi iitta miishey intena daganthontta aggiko inte Saara naytakko.
even as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him Lord; whose daughters you are become, doing well, and not fearing any terror.
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.
In like manner, husbands, dwell with your wives according to knowledge, giving honor to the wife, as the weaker vessel, and as joint heirs of the favor of life, that your prayers be not 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, be all of one mind, sympathizing, lovers of the brethren, tender-hearted, courteous--
9 Anjjite attin isttas iitta cashes, cashshe zaaropite. Inte xeeygetiday hessaththo oothid anjjo laatanaskko.
not returning evil for evil, or railing for railing; but, on the contrary, bless: knowing that to this you were called, that you might inherit the 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 he who is desirous to enjoy life, and to see good days, let him restrain his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking deceit.
11 Iitta yoope hakkone lo7o ootho; saroteth koyone kaallo.
Let him turn away from evil, and do good; let him turn away from evil, and do good; let him 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 upon the righteous, and his ears are open to their supplication; but the face of the Lord is against the workers of iniquity."
13 Inte lo7o oothanas miinetiko inte bolla iitta miishe gaathanay oonee?
Besides, who is he that will do evil to you, if you be imitators of the Good One?
14 Inte lo7o oothida gishshi waaye beykoka inte anjjo ekkana. Asay inte bolla iitta oothanas mandetizayssas babbofitene daro qopofite.
Nevertheless, although you even suffer for righteousness' sake, you are happy. Therefore, do not fear their fear, neither be troubled:
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 sanctify the Lord God in your hearts; and be always prepared for giving an answer, with meekness and reverence, to every one who asks of you a reason for the hope which is in you.
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.
Hold fast a good conscience, that, whereas they speak against you as evil doers, they may be put to shame who arraign your good behavior in Christ.
17 Xoossa shene gidiko inte iitta ootho oothidi waayetanayssyafe lo7o ootho oothidi waayetiko lo7okko.
For it is better to suffer as well doers, if the will of God appoints it, than as evil doers.
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 even Christ once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God; being put to death, indeed, in the flesh, but made alice by the Spirit.
19 Hessa he ayanan qasho keeththan diza shempotako biidi isttas miishiracho qaala yootides.
By which, also, he made proclamation 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 formerly were disobedient, when the patience of God once waited, in the days of Noah, while an ark was preparing, in which few, that is, eight souls, were effectually 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.
the antitype, immersion, does, also, now save us, (not putting away the filth of the flesh; but seeking of a good conscience toward God, ) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ;
22 Izi pude salo biidi ha7i Xoossa achchan dees. kiitanchatine godatethi isttas dizayti wolqamataka izas haarettida.
who, having gone into heaven, is at the right hand of God; angels, and authorities, and powers, being subjected to him.
A Dove is Sent Forth from the Ark
