1 Ubiturus 3
1 Ane ani shi anee nya ni anuruma ushi me ninonzo, barki inka aye anyimo awe me wada wuza ninonzo ni tize me ba, u suro ane aweme, a di gbarika we sarki ubuka utize.
In like manner, the wives, be ye subject to your own husbands, that even if certain are disobedient to the word, through the conversation of the wives, without the word, they may be won,
2 Barki wa ira ukalum imumum iriri nan nu tarsa utize ti huma tishi me.
having beheld your pure behaviour in fear,
3 Ane ani uzuu ushi kati ucukuno ubino unuce, turunga ti zuu tiriri nani tirunga ti harzina iriba.
whose adorning — let it not be that which is outward, of plaiting of hair, and of putting around of things of gold, or of putting on of garments,
4 Barki ani me ca uzuu ucukuno tirunga ti uzatu ulau, ti meki unice unu nata iriba ibibe, ige sa izi memeru ahira Asere.
but — the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptible thing of the meek and quiet spirit, which is, before God, of great price,
5 Ane ani ane uzatu imadini wa barka ace ani me. Wa nya muriba muwe me ahira Asere wa wuzi anuruma uwe me imum ihuma.
for thus once also the holy women who did hope on God, were adorning themselves, being subject to their own husbands,
6 In anime ini Saratu maa inki iriba ahira uruma umeme, Ibrahim maa tisa me“Asere”. Ani me shi ahana ame wani, inka ya wuza katuma kahuma inka da ya kunna biyau bini rere ba.
as Sarah was obedient to Abraham, calling him 'sir,' of whom ye did become daughters, doing good, and not fearing any terror.
7 Ane ani shi ahana aruma, cukuno nin nan ane ashi unu rusa we anu siziki me wani aroni uticukum wani anu kabisa ubibe biti cukum. Wuza ani me barki akunna biringira bishi me.
The husbands, in like manner, dwelling with [them], according to knowledge, as to a weaker vessel — to the wife — imparting honour, as also being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers be not hindered.
8 Uhana umara vat ushi ipati ace ashi, icukuno anu gamara abanga, anu hem in nanu henu, anu iriba isheu, anu utuzo ace.
And finally, being all of one mind, having fellow-feeling, loving as brethren, compassionate, courteous,
9 Kati i garza imum izenzeng ini zenzeng ba, nani tizogo, barki ani me re ni aje in ninonzo, barki ane ani atiti shi, bati i kabi imum iriri.
not giving back evil for evil, or railing for railing, and on the contrary, blessing, having known that to this ye were called, that a blessing ye may inherit;
10 Desa ma nyara ma kunna urunta uticukum ti meme, ma kuri ma kunna urunta imum iriri ca ma meki nilem nimeme ahira imum imadini in mawa ma nyo ameme ahira atize ti uranga.
for 'he who is willing to love life, and to see good days, let him guard his tongue from evil, and his lips — not to speak guile;
11 Ma ceki uwuza imum i madini ma wuzi imum iriri. Ca ma nyari ticukum ti huma ma kuri ma nyari tini.
let him turn aside from evil, and do good, let him seek peace and pursue it;
12 Ahira Ugomo Asere, ahira anu imum iriri, titui ti meme ti kunna bi'igizo-igizo biwe me. Barki ani me muhenu ma Asere muzin ni'eru ahira uwuza imum izenzeng.
because the eyes of the Lord [are] upon the righteous, and His ears — to their supplication, and the face of the Lord [is] upon those doing evil;'
13 Aveni ma bari ma rangi shi inka ya inko iriba imum ihuma?
and who [is] he who will be doing you evil, if of Him who is good ye may become imitators?
14 Barki ani me inka izin unuzito barki imum ihuma shi anu nonzo wani. Kati i kunna biyau bi imum besa wa kunna biyau. Kati i cari muriba
but if ye also should suffer because of righteousness, happy [are ye]! and of their fear be not afraid, nor be troubled,
15 Unuguna ani me, inko ni Asere sas amuriba mushi me inu guna me unu ulau mani konda uya uwui ininyarga barki i kabirka unu iko ushi imum be sa ya inko muriba mushi ahira Asere. Shi wuzani ani me ini mumum nan ninonzo.
and the Lord God sanctify in your hearts. And [be] ready always for defence to every one who is asking of you an account concerning the hope that [is] in you, with meekness and fear;
16 Cukuno ni inu basa uhuma barki anu age sa wazinu zogizo uticukum tiriri anyimo avana Asere, wa kunna mu'i barki sa wazin in tize tini eru nan shi kasi shi anu imumum izenzeng ini.
having a good conscience, that in that in which they speak against you as evil-doers, they may be ashamed who are traducing your good behaviour in Christ;
17 Iteki unu ri, iziti ahira akatuma ka zenzeng.
for [it is] better doing good, if the will of God will it, to suffer, than doing evil;
18 Ugomo Asere maa ziti kang barki madini maru. Barki sa me una kadure mani maa ziti barki madini maru. Barki sa me una kadure mani maa ziti barki haru anu zatu kadure, barki ma en haru ahira Asere. Ahu me ani pum, ahirza anyimo abibe bilau.
because also Christ once for sin did suffer — righteous for unrighteous — that he might lead us to God, having been put to death indeed, in the flesh, and having been made alive in the spirit,
19 Abibe bilau bini, ma ha maka boo tize tasere ahira ibe iburi anyimo udenge unirere.
in which also to the spirits in prison having gone he did preach,
20 Wa wuzi imumum iburi ini uganiya sa ninyarga na ASere na nyargi we uganiya U Nuhu sa maa sibi uzirgi umei, Asere anno aburi anu cin muriba manu uwititari anyimo amei.
who sometime disbelieved, when once the long-suffering of God did wait, in days of Noah — an ark being preparing — in which few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water;
21 Agino ane ani ubezi uzoro sa uzini ubursa uru aname, azo kasi u Dauda ani pum ba, se unu igizo Asere nan ubezi uhuma ahira uhira uyeso vana Asere usuro iwono.
also to which an antitype doth now save us — baptism, (not a putting away of the filth of flesh, but the question of a good conscience in regard to God, ) through the rising again of Jesus Christ,
22 Ma nyene asesere, mara atari tina re tasere. Ibe ya Asere in tigomo nan nanu bari wa tarsi in tize ti meme.
who is at the right hand of God, having gone on to heaven — messengers, and authorities, and powers, having been subjected to him.
A Dove is Sent Forth from the Ark
