1 Petorosi 3
1 Mweyi zira, inwe muli vafumahali muli tule kunsi yiva mwihyenwanu. Mupange ichi iri kuli, nanga vamwi vakwame kava zuwisisi kuli zwi, cho kuya che mikwa ya vanakazi vavo, mikwa i wola kuva koma nikusena linzwi.
Likewise let the wiues bee subiect to their husbands, that euen they which obey not the worde, may without the worde be wonne by the conuersation of the wiues,
2 Chiva vavoni mikwa yenu i zwirire havusu che kute.
While they beholde your pure conuersation, which is with feare.
3 Musiye i kupangiwe insiñi cho mukwa uvoneka kuvena hanze: insuki zi hosetwe, maseka e gaunda, kamba zizwato zo mujoko.
Whose apparelling, let it not be that outwarde, with broyded heare, and golde put about, or in putting on of apparell:
4 Kono, musiye zipangiwe cho muntu o mukati we nkulo, mi vulontu vusa mani bwina hande ni kuntontola muluhuho, nili chilotu havusu bwe Ireza.
But let it bee the hidde man of the heart, which consisteth in the incorruption of a meeke and quiet spirite, which is before God a thing much set by.
5 Chavanakazi va jolola vavali susuwezi mowu mukwa. Vena i sepo mwe Ireza mi vavali tulite kwi konde liva muhyabwavo.
For euen after this maner in time past did the holy women, which trusted in God, tire them selues, and were subiect to their husbands.
6 Mweyi zira Sara avali kuzuwa Aburahama ni kumusupa simwine wakwe. Inwe hanu muvana vakwe haiva ni mupanga zina hande ni kusa tiya i nkozi.
As Sara obeyed Abraham, and called him Sir: whose daughters ye are, whiles yee doe well, not being afraide of any terrour.
7 Cho mukwa u swana, inwe vashetu muswanera kuhala ni vafumahali venu cho kuya che kutwisiso, sina che chiviko chi fokola, mwanakazi. Muswanera kuvaha i kute sina vamwi vayoli ve mpo zo vuhalo. Mupange ichi iri kuli itapero zenu kanji zikaninwi.
Likewise ye husbands, dwel with them as men of knowledge, giuing honour vnto the woman, as vnto the weaker vessell, euen as they which are heires together of the grace of life, that your prayers be not interrupted.
8 Cha ma manimani, mwense, muswane mumi hupulo, chishemo, kulisaka sina mizwale, inkulo zina hande ni kuli kokoveza.
Finally, be ye all of one minde: one suffer with another: loue as brethren: bee pitifull: bee courteous,
9 Kanji muvozekezi vuvi cho vuvi kapa itapa che tapa. Cho kusa yenderera, muzwire havusu ku fuyola, vakeñi chezi muva supwa, iri kuti muyole imbuyoti.
Not rendring euil for euill, neither rebuke for rebuke: but contrarywise blesse, knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should be heires of blessing.
10 “I ye yosaka vuhalo ni kuvona mazuva malotu u siyisa lulimi lwakwe ku vuvi ni milomo yakwe kuku wamba mapa.
For if any man long after life, and to see good dayes, let him refraine his tongue from euill, and his lippes that they speake no guile.
11 Mumu siye a sanduke kuzintu zivi ni kupanga zilotu. Mumusiye a sake inkozo ni kuzwira muili.
Let him eschew euil, and do good: let him seeke peace, and follow after it.
12 Menso a Simwine avona va shiyamite, mi matwi akwe a zuwa ziva kumbira. Kono chifateho cha Simwine chi vengere avo va panga vuvi.”
For the eyes of the Lord are ouer the righteous, and his eares are open vnto their prayers: and the face of the Lord is against them that do euil.
13 Jeni uzo yasa mi horofaze haiva ni mulakamina zina zilotu?
And who is it that will harme you, if ye follow that which is good?
14 Kono haiva ni munyanda che vaka lyo kuluka, mufuya ulitwe. Kanji mutiyi ziva tiya. Kanji mu firikani.
Notwithstanding blessed are ye, if ye suffer for righteousnes sake. Yea, feare not their feare, neither be troubled.
15 Kono, muvikire ha mbali Simwine Keresite mwi nkulo zenu sina yo jolola. Honse mulitukiseze kwi tava vonse vami vuza chinzi hamwina i sepo mwa Ireza. Mupange ichi cha mañenke ni kute.
But sanctifie the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready alwayes to giue an answere to euery man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you, with meekenesse and reuerence,
16 Muve ni muhupulo mulotu iri kuli vantu va tukola vuhalo bwenu vulotu mwa Keresite vawole kuswava kakuli va wamba cho kumilwisa uvu mane muva pangi vo vuvi.
Hauing a good coscience, that whe they speake euill of you as of euill doers, they may be ashamed, which slander your good conuersation in Christ.
17 Kwina hande, haiva Ireza ulakamina, kuti munyanda cho kupanga vulotu kuhita kupanga vuvi.
For it is better (if the will of God be so) that ye suffer for well doing, then for euil doing.
18 Keresite naye ava nyandi hamwina che zivi. Iye yo lukite ava nyandiri iswe, vasina vavali kulukite, iri kuli awole ku tuleta kwe Ireza. Ava vikiwa kwifu mwi nyama, kono ava pangiwa yo hala cho Luhuho.
For Christ also hath once suffered for sinnes, the iust for the vniust, that he might bring vs to God, and was put to death concerning the flesh, but was quickened by the spirit.
19 Cho Luhuho, ava yendi ni kukakutaza kwi huho yina hanu mwi torongo.
By the which hee also went, and preached vnto the spirits that are in prison.
20 Vavali kusa zuwa aho kulindira kwe Ireza kuvali kulindire muma zuva a Nuwe, muma zuva o kuzaka i aleka, mi Ireza a va hazi vantu vache vulyo- ihuho ye yanza ni to tatwe- cha menzi.
Which were in time passed disobedient, when once the long suffering of God abode in the dayes of Noe, while the Arke was preparing, wherein fewe, that is, eight soules were saued in the water.
21 Ili nji swayo lye nkorovezo iyo imihaza hanu- isiñi uvu ku shanjiwa kwe ikwe lye miviri, kono sina kovekisa kwe nkulo indontu kwe Ireza- chokuya kuvuka kwa Jesu Keresite kuvafu.
Whereof the baptisme that nowe is, answering that figure, (which is not a putting away of the filth of the flesh, but a confident demaunding which a good conscience maketh to God) saueth vs also by the resurrection of Iesus Christ,
22 Keresite wina kwi yanza lye chilyo lye Ireza. Ava yendi kwi wulu. Mañiroyi, mivuso, ne ziho ziswanera kulivika kunsi yakwe.
Which is at the right hand of God, gone into heauen, to whom the Angels, and Powers, and might are subiect.
