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.
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--
2 Istti simmana danda7izay inte geeshatethane inte ase bonchiza duusu dizayssa beydikko.
so full of reverence, and so blameless!
3 Inte lo7etethi coo mela hu7e dathanine worqan gexxetethan, al7o mayo mayon, coo mela ayfen beettiza geexen gidopo.
Your adornment ought not to be a merely outward thing--one of plaiting the hair, putting on jewelry, or wearing beautiful dresses.
4 Inte lo7oy Xoossa sinthan wagara diza keehi bonchetidazine dhayontta gexxen, ashiketethan, addatethanine ayanan gexxettida wozina garisan qoteti diza giddo wozina lo7eteth gido.
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.
5 Beni wode ba ufayss Xoossan oothida geesha macashati gexxettiday hayssa malankko. Istti ba azinatas azazettida.
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.
6 Istti azazetidaykka Saaray Abirame “Ta godo!” gaada azazettidayssa malakko. Inteka lo7o miishi oothikone issi iitta miishey intena daganthontta aggiko inte Saara naytakko.
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.
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.
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.
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.
In conclusion, all of you should be of one mind, quick to sympathize, kind to the brethren, tenderhearted, lowly-minded,
9 Anjjite attin isttas iitta cashes, cashshe zaaropite. Inte xeeygetiday hessaththo oothid anjjo laatanaskko.
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.
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 wishes to be well-satisfied with life and see happy days-- let him restrain his tongue from evil, and his lips from deceitful words;
11 Iitta yoope hakkone lo7o ootho; saroteth koyone kaallo.
Let him turn from evil, and do good; Let him inquire for peace and go in pursuit of 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 set against evil-doers."
13 Inte lo7o oothanas miinetiko inte bolla iitta miishe gaathanay oonee?
And who will be able to harm you, if you show yourselves zealous for that which 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 suffer for righteousness' sake, you are to be envied. So do not be alarmed by their threats, nor 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 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.
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.
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.
17 Xoossa shene gidiko inte iitta ootho oothidi waayetanayssyafe lo7o ootho oothidi waayetiko lo7okko.
For it is better that you should suffer for doing right, if such be God's will, 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.
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,
19 Hessa he ayanan qasho keeththan diza shempotako biidi isttas miishiracho qaala yootides.
in which He also went and proclaimed His Message to the spirits that were 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 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.
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, 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,
22 Izi pude salo biidi ha7i Xoossa achchan dees. kiitanchatine godatethi isttas dizayti wolqamataka izas haarettida.
who is at God's right hand, having gone into Heaven, angels and authorities and powers having been made subject to Him.
A Dove is Sent Forth from the Ark
