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, ye wives, [be] in subjection to your own husbands; that, even if any obey not the word, they may without the word be gained by the behaviour of their wives;
2 Istti simmana danda7izay inte geeshatethane inte ase bonchiza duusu dizayssa beydikko.
beholding your chaste behaviour [coupled] with fear.
3 Inte lo7etethi coo mela hu7e dathanine worqan gexxetethan, al7o mayo mayon, coo mela ayfen beettiza geexen gidopo.
Whose [adorning] let it not be the outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing jewels of gold, or of putting on apparel;
4 Inte lo7oy Xoossa sinthan wagara diza keehi bonchetidazine dhayontta gexxen, ashiketethan, addatethanine ayanan gexxettida wozina garisan qoteti diza giddo wozina lo7eteth gido.
but [let it be] the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptible [apparel] of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
5 Beni wode ba ufayss Xoossan oothida geesha macashati gexxettiday hayssa malankko. Istti ba azinatas azazettida.
For after this manner aforetime the holy women also, who hoped 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.
as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose children ye now are, if ye do well, and are not put in fear by 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.
Ye husbands, in like manner, dwell with [your wives] according to knowledge, giving honour unto the woman, as unto the weaker vessel, as being also joint-heirs of the grace of life; to the end 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] ye all likeminded, compassionate, loving as brethren, tenderhearted, humbleminded:
9 Anjjite attin isttas iitta cashes, cashshe zaaropite. Inte xeeygetiday hessaththo oothid anjjo laatanaskko.
not rendering evil for evil, or reviling for reviling; but contrariwise blessing; for hereunto were ye called, that ye should 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, He that would love life, And see good days, Let him refrain his tongue from evil, And his lips that they speak no guile:
11 Iitta yoope hakkone lo7o ootho; saroteth koyone kaallo.
And 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 unto their supplication: But the face of the Lord is upon them that do evil.
13 Inte lo7o oothanas miinetiko inte bolla iitta miishe gaathanay oonee?
And who is he that will harm you, if ye be zealous of that which is good?
14 Inte lo7o oothida gishshi waaye beykoka inte anjjo ekkana. Asay inte bolla iitta oothanas mandetizayssas babbofitene daro qopofite.
But and if ye should suffer for righteousness’ sake, blessed [are ye]: and fear not 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 in your hearts Christ as Lord: [being] ready always to give answer to every man that asketh you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, yet with meekness and fear:
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.
having a good conscience; that, wherein ye are spoken against, they may be put to shame who revile your good manner of life in Christ.
17 Xoossa shene gidiko inte iitta ootho oothidi waayetanayssyafe lo7o ootho oothidi waayetiko lo7okko.
For it is better, if the will of God should so will, that ye suffer for well-doing than for evil-doing.
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.
Because Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God; being put to death in the flesh, but quickened in the spirit;
19 Hessa he ayanan qasho keeththan diza shempotako biidi isttas miishiracho qaala yootides.
in which also he went and preached unto 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.
which aforetime were disobedient, when the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, 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.
which also after a true likeness doth now save you, [even] baptism, not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the interrogation of a good 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 is on the right hand of God, having gone into heaven; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.
A Dove is Sent Forth from the Ark
