1 Petro 3
1 Kulwa injila inu, emwe bhanu muli bhagasi kubheile okwisosha ku bhalume bhemwe emwe abhene, koleleki, nolwo kuti abhandi bhebhwe bhachali kugwolobhela omusango, okulabha ku ntungwa ja bhagasi bhebhwe mbatula okubhaleta nolwo gutabhawo musango,
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;
2 kulwa insonga abho abhene abhabha bhailolele intungwa yemwe eyo bhwima amwi ne chibhalo.
seeing your pure behavior in fear.
3 Jinu jikoleke atali kwo bhuligile bhwa anja-la kwo kulanga jinfwili, amwi kunanika jijaabhu, amwi bhifwalo bhya bhulele.
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 Mbe nawe kukilao jikolekane kwa bhumunu bhwa munda yo Mwoyo, no kukila mu bhukonde bhwo kwikeya no bhucholele bhwo Mwoyo, bhunu ni bhubhasi bhunene imbele ya Nyamuanga.
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 Kulwo kubha abhagasi abhelu bhenanikile abhene ku njila inu, bhaliga bhali ne likilisha ku Nyamuanga na bhabholobhee abhalume bhebhwe abhene.
For this is how the holy women before, who hoped in God also adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands:
6 Kulwa injila inu Sara amwolobhee Ibhulaimu no kulubhilila omwene “Esebhu-genyi” waye. Emwe wolyanu muli bhana bhaye mukakola jinu jili je kisi na mukabha mutakubhaya mabhibhi.
as Sera obeyed Avraham, calling him lord, whose children you now are, if you do well, and are not put in fear by any terror.
7 Mu njila eyo eyo, emwe abhalume kubheile okulama amwi na bhagasi bhemwe nimumenya ati bhenene ni bhejabho bhe chigasi bhalenga, nimubhamenya bhenene kuti bhalamisi bhejanyu abho mugabho gwo bhuanga. Nimukole kutya koleleki ati lisabhwa lyemwe lyasiga kuganyibhwa.
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 Ebhya kubhutelo, emwe bhona, nimubhega no kwiganilisha kumwi, abho kufwilana chigongo, elyenda kuti bha nda umwi, abho kwikuya, na bhololo.
Finally, be all like-minded, compassionate, loving as brothers, tenderhearted, humble,
9 Mwasiga kusubhya nsigu, amwi okufuma ebhya mungubho. Obhutasikene bhwacho ni kugendelela okusosha amabhando, ku nsonga inu mwabhilikiliywe, koleleki ati mutule okulya omwandu gwa libhando.
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 “Mwenene unu Kenda obhulame no kubhona olusiku lwe kisi ni bhusi-bhusi aluganye olulimi lwaye kwa amabhibhi ne minwa jaye okukwaika ejo bhulige-lige.
For, "He who would love life, and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking deceit.
11 Na ainduke no kusiga amabhibhi no kukola agekisi. Aige omulembe no kugulubha.
Let him turn away from evil, and do good. Let him seek peace, and pursue it.
12 Ameso ga Latabhugenyi agamulola omulengelesi na amatwi gaye agongwa lisabhwa lyaye. Mbe nawe obhusu bhwa Latabhugenyi bhutasikene na bhalya bhanu abhakola emibhibhi.”
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 Niga unu alibhanyamula emwe, mukabha nimuligila linu likondele? Mbe nawe mukabha nimunyaka kwo bhulengelesi, mbe muyanilwe libhando. Mwasiga kubhaya galya ganu bhenene abhagobhaya. Mwasiga kuwa mwoyo.
Now who is he who will harm you, if you become zealous of that which is good?
But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you are blessed. "And do not fear what they fear, nor be troubled."
15 Kukila ejo, nimumute Kristo Latabhugenyi mu Mioyo jemwe kuti bhelu. Bhuli mwanya nimubhega muli bhwangu okumusubhya bhuli munu unu kabhabhusha emwe ati ni Kulwaki muli no kwiikanya ku Nyamuanga. Nimukole kutya kwo bhwololo ne chibhalo.
But sanctify in your hearts Meshikha 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 Nimubhega no mutima gwekisi koleleki ati abhanu bhanu abhafuma obhulame bhwemwe bhwe kisi mu Kristo bheswale kunsonga abhaika jinu jitasikene mwime kuti ati mwaliga nimukola mabhibhi.
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 Meshikha.
17 Ni kwa kisi kukila, alabha Nyamuanga kaligila, ati mwanyasibhwa kulwo oukola agekisi kukila okukola amabhibhi.
For it is better, if it is God's will, that you suffer for doing well than for doing evil.
18 Kristo one anyakile lugendo lumwi ingulu ye bhibhibhi. Omwene unu ali mulengelesi nawe anyasibhwe ingulu yeswe, kenu eswe chaliga chitali bhalengelesi, koleleki ati achilete eswe ku Nyamuanga. Afuye mu mubhili, mbe nawe akolelwe kubha muanga mu mwoyo.
Because Meshikha 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 Mu Mwoyo, agendele no kuja okujisimulila emioyo jinu wolyanu jibhoyelwe mwi bhoyelo.
in which he also went and made a proclamation to the spirits in prison,
20 Jaliga jitana bhwololo mu mwanya gunu obhwigumilisha bhwa Nyamuanga anu bhwaliga bhuchalindilila omwanya gwa Nuhu, mu nsiku jo bhukonji bhwa imeli, (isafina) na Nyamuanga akisishe bhanu bhatyali-la-mioyo munana- okusoka mu maji.
who before were disobedient, when God waited patiently in the days of Nukh, while the box-shaped ship was being built. In it, few, that is, eight souls, were saved by means of water.
21 Lunu ni lunyamo lwo bhubhatijo lunu olubhakisha emwe wolyanu, atali ati okwosha obhujabhi okusoka mu mubhili, mbe nawe alabha lisabhwa lyo mutima gwe kisi ku Nyamuanga, okulabha mu bhusuluko obhwa Yesu Kristo. Omwene ali mu kubhoko okwe bhulyo okwa Nyamuanga.
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 Yeshua Meshikha,
22 Ajiye mu lwile. Malaika, obhutungi, na managa ni bhusi-bhusi bhimwolobhele omwene.
who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, angels and authorities and powers being made subject to him.
