1 Phexiroosa 3
1 Hessadakka, machcheto, hintte azinatappe Xoossaa qaalas kiitettonayssati de7ikkoka aykkoka odettonashin, hintte yashshatethaanne hintte geeshsha de7uwa be7idi ammanana mela enttaw haarettite.
In like manner, wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; so that, even if any do not obey the word, they may be won by the behavior of their wives without a word;
seeing your pure behavior in fear.
3 Hinttee, hintte huu7e pixoninne worqqa aason woykko lo77o ma7on hintte bolla asatethaa loyson gidoppo.
Let your beauty be not just the outward adorning of braiding the hair, and of wearing jewels of gold, or of putting on fine clothing;
4 Shin hintte wozanaa giddon de7iya yegelsatethay Xoossaa sinthan hinttew daro al77o gididi dhayonna, ashkkenne woppu gida ayyaana gido.
but in the hidden person of the heart, in the incorruptible adornment of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God very precious.
5 Xoossay immana gidayssa ammanida geeshsha maccasati bini wode bantta azinatas haarettidi, banttana hessada daro loythidosona.
For this is how the holy women before, who hoped in God also adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands:
6 Hessada Saara Abrahaame, “Ta godaw” yaagada xeegashe, iyaw kiitettasu; hintteka aykkoka yayyonna lo77obaa oothiko I nayta.
as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose children you now are, if you do well, and are not put in fear by any terror.
7 Azinatoo, hintte machcheti hinttefe daaburanchcho medheta gideyssa eridi, enttana bonchchite; hintte woosa dhubbonna mela Xoossay immida de7uwa entti hinttera issife laattiya gisho entta bonchchite.
You husbands, in like manner, live with your wives according to knowledge, giving honor to the woman, as to the weaker vessel, as being also joint heirs of the grace of life; that your prayers may not be hindered.
8 Wurssethan, ubbay issi qofan de7ite. Issoy issuwas qadhettishe, ishatada siiqetite; qassi issoy issuwas keeheyssatanne hintte huu7iya kawushsheyssata gidite.
Finally, be all like-minded, compassionate, loving as brothers, tenderhearted, humble,
9 Iita gishos iita woykko cashshaa gisho cayidi zaaroppite; hessa aggidi, Xoossay hinttew anjjuwaa immanaw hinttena xeegida gisho anjjite.
not rendering evil for evil, or reviling for reviling; but instead blessing; because to this were you called, that you may inherit a blessing.
10 Ays giikko, Geeshsha Maxaafay, “De7o doseynne lo77o wode be7anaw koyey oona gidikkoka ba inxarssan iitabaanne worddo odetteyssa aggo.
For, "He who would love life, and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking deceit.
11 Iitabaa ootheyssa aggidi lo77obaa ootho; sarotethaakka keehi koyonne kaallo.
Let him turn away from evil, and do good. Let him seek peace, and pursue it.
12 Godaa ayfey xillotakko xeellees; qassi I ubba wode entta woosaa haayzees. Shin Goday iitabaa ootheyssata ba hanqo som77uwan xeellees” yaagees.
For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears open to their prayer; but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil."
13 Hintte lo77obaa oothanaw amottikko hinttena qohanay oonee?
Now who is he who will harm you, if you become zealous of that which is good?
14 Hari attoshin, xillotetha gisho hintte waayettiko anjjettidayssata. Asas yayyofitenne hirggofite.
But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you are blessed. "And do not fear what they fear, nor be troubled."
15 Kiristtoosa hintte wozanan bonchchitenne godayite. Xoossay hinttew immida ufayssaas gaaso oychchiya oodeskka zaaro immanaw ubba wode giigi uttite, shin hessa ashkketethaninne yashshatethan oothite.
But sanctify in your hearts Christ as Lord; and always be ready to give an answer to everyone who asks you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, yet with humility and fear:
16 Qassi Kiristtoosan hintte de7iya lo77o de7uwa iitabaa oothidabaada, hinttena cayaa asay zigiryaaban yeellatana mela hintte kahay geeshshi gido.
having a good conscience; so that when they speak evil against you, they may be put to shame who slander your good manner of life in Christ.
17 Xoossay gidabaa gidikko iitabaa oothida gisho waaye ekkeyssafe lo77obaa oothida gisho waaye ekkeyssi lo77o.
For it is better, if it is God's will, that you suffer for doing well than for doing evil.
18 Kiristtoosi nuna Xoossaakko shiishanaw baw xillo gididi de7ishe, nagaranchchota gisho issi toho nagara ubbaas hayqqis; I ba asatethan hayqqis, shin ayyaanan paxis.
Because Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring you to God; being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit;
19 Qassi he ayyaanan I bidi qashon de7iya shemppotas qaala odis.
in which he also went and made a proclamation to the spirits in prison,
20 Nohey markkabiya keexiya wode he shemppoti Xoossaas kiitettonna ixxidosona, shin Xoossay enttana dandda7ii gam77is. Hosppun asa xalaali markkabiyan gelidi, bashsha haathaafe attidosona.
who before were disobedient, when God waited patiently in the days of Noah, while the box-shaped ship was being built. In it, few, that is, eight souls, were saved by means of water.
21 He bashsha haathay ha77i hinttena ashshiya xinqqate leemiso gidis. Ha xinqqatey bolla qita meecco gidonnashin, lo77o kaha Xoossaafe ekkanaw iya woossiya oge gididi, Kiristtoosa dendduwa baggara hinttena ashshees.
This is a symbol of baptism, which now saves you—not the removal of dirt from the body, but an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
22 I salo bidi Xoossaa ushachchan uttidi, kiitanchchota, maata aawatanne wolqqaamata haarees.
who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, angels and authorities and powers being made subject to him.
