1 Bitrus 3
1 Haka ma, ku matan aure, ku yi biyayya ga mazanku, domin in waɗansunsu ba su gaskata maganar ba, wataƙila a shawo kansu ba tare da magana ba
In this way, you who are wives should submit to your own husbands. Do this so even if some men are disobedient to the word, they may be won without a word, through their wives' behavior.
2 sa’ad da suka ga rayuwarku mai tsabta da kuma na ladabi.
For they will have seen your sincere behavior with respect.
3 Kyanku bai kamata yă zama na adon jiki ba, kamar kitso da sa kayan ado na zinariya da kuma sa kaya masu tsada.
Let it be done not with outward ornaments such as braided hair, jewels of gold, or fashionable clothing.
4 Maimakon haka, kyanku ya kamata yă zama ainihi na halinku na ciki, kyan da ba ya koɗewa na tawali’u da kuma na natsattsen ruhu, wanda yake mai daraja a gaban Allah.
Instead, let it be done with the inner person of the heart, and the lasting beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious before God.
5 Gama haka matan masu tsarki na dā waɗanda suka sa begensu ga Allah suka yi wa kansu ado. Sun yi wa mazansu biyayya,
For this is how holy women long ago who hoped in God adorned themselves, by submitting to their husbands.
6 kamar Saratu, wadda ta yi biyayya ga Ibrahim, har ta kira shi maigidanta. Ku’ya’yanta ne mata in kun aikata abin da yake daidai, ba ku kuma ba tsoro dama ba.
In this way Sarah obeyed Abraham and called him her lord. You are now her children if you do what is good and if you are not afraid of trouble.
7 Mazan aure, ku ma, ku yi zaman sanin ya kamata yayinda kuke zama da matanku, ku girmama su a matsayin abokan zama marasa ƙarfi da kuma a matsayin magādan kyautar rai na alheri tare da ku, don kada wani abu yă hana addu’o’inku.
In the same way, you husbands should live with your wives according to understanding, as with a weaker container, a woman. You should give them honor as fellow heirs of the grace of life. Do this so that your prayers will not be hindered.
8 A ƙarshe, dukanku ku zauna lafiya da juna; ku zama masu juyayi, kuna ƙaunar juna kamar’yan’uwa, ku zama masu tausayi da kuma tawali’u.
Finally, all of you, be likeminded, compassionate, loving as brothers, tenderhearted, and humble.
9 Kada ku rama mugunta da mugunta ko zagi da zagi, sai dai ku sa albarka, gama ga wannan ne aka kira ku, ku kuma gāji albarka.
Do not pay back evil for evil or insult for insult. On the contrary, continue to bless, because for this you were called, that you might inherit a blessing.
10 Gama, “Duk wanda yake so yă ji daɗin rayuwa, yă kuma ga kwanaki masu kyau dole yă ƙame harshensa daga mugunta leɓunansa kuma daga maganar yaudara.
“The one who wants to love life and see good days should stop his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit.
11 Dole yă juye daga mugunta, ya aikata nagarta; dole yă nemi salama yă kuma bi ta.
Let him turn away from what is bad and do what is good. Let him seek peace and pursue it.
12 Gama idanun Ubangiji suna a kan masu adalci kunnuwansa kuma suna jin addu’arsu, amma fuskar Ubangiji tana gāba da masu mugunta.”
The eyes of the Lord see the righteous, and his ears hear their requests. But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”
13 Wa zai yi muku lahani in kun himmantu ga yin nagarta?
Who is the one who will harm you if you are eager to do what is good?
14 Amma ko da za ku sha wahala saboda abin da yake daidai, ku masu albarka ne. “Kada ku ji tsoron abin da suke tsoro; kada kuma ku firgita.”
But if you suffer because of righteousness, you are blessed. Do not fear what they fear. Do not be troubled.
15 Sai dai a cikin zukatanku ku keɓe Kiristi a matsayin Ubangiji. A kullum, ku kasance a shirye ku ba da amsa ga duk wanda yake neman ku ba da dalilin wannan begen da kuke da shi. Amma ku yi wannan cikin tawali’u da ladabi,
Instead, set apart the Lord Christ in your hearts as holy. Always be ready to answer everyone who asks you why you have confidence in God. Do this with meekness and respect.
16 tare da lamiri mai kyau, saboda waɗanda suke maganganun banza a kan kyawawan ayyukanku cikin Kiristi su ji kunya da irin ɓata suna da suke yi.
Have a good conscience so that the people who insult your good life in Christ may be ashamed because they are speaking against you as if you were evildoers.
17 Ya fi kyau, in nufin Allah ne, a sha wahala don yin nagarta fiye da yin mugunta.
It is better, if God desires, that you suffer for doing good than for doing evil.
18 Gama Kiristi ya mutu domin zunubi sau ɗaya tak, mai adalci saboda marasa adalci, don yă kawo ku ga Allah. An kashe shi a cikin jiki, amma an rayar da shi a Ruhu,
Christ also suffered once for sins. He who is righteous suffered for us, who were unrighteous, so that he would bring us to God. He was put to death in the flesh, but he was made alive by the Spirit.
19 ta wurin wanda kuma ya tafi ya yi wa ruhohin da suke a kurkuku wa’azi
By the Spirit, he went and preached to the spirits who are now in prison.
20 waɗanda dā ba su yi biyayya ba sa’ad da Allah ya jira da haƙuri a kwanaki Nuhu yayinda ake sassaƙa jirgi. A cikinsa mutane kima ne kawai, su takwas, aka kuɓutar ta ruwa,
They were disobedient when the patience of God was waiting in the days of Noah, in the days of the building of an ark, and God saved a few people—eight souls—by means of the water.
21 ruwan nan kuwa kwatancin baftisma ne da yanzu ya cece ku ku ma, ba kawar da dauda daga jiki ba, sai dai yin alkawari na lamiri mai kyau ga Allah. Ya cece ku ta wurin tashin Yesu Kiristi daga matattu,
This is a symbol of the baptism that saves you now—not as a washing away of dirt from the body, but as the appeal of a good conscience to God—through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
22 wanda ya tafi sama, yana kuma a hannun dama na Allah, mala’iku, mulkoki da kuma masu iko suna masa biyayya.
Christ is at the right hand of God. He went into heaven. Angels, authorities, and powers must submit to him.
