۱ پِتَرَح 3

1 ہے یوشِتَح، یُویَمَپِ نِجَسْوامِناں وَشْیا بھَوَتَ تَتھا سَتِ یَدِ کیچِدْ واکْیے وِشْواسِنو نَ سَنْتِ تَرْہِ

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 تے وِناواکْیَں یوشِتامْ آچارینارْتھَتَسْتیشاں پْرَتْیَکْشینَ یُشْماکَں سَبھَیَسَتِیتْواچاریناکْرَشْٹُں شَکْشْیَنْتے۔

having beheld your pure behaviour in fear,

3 اَپَرَں کیشَرَچَنَیا سْوَرْنالَنْکارَدھارَنونَ پَرِچّھَدَپَرِدھانینَ وا یُشْماکَں واہْیَبھُوشا نَ بھَوَتُ،

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 کِنْتْوِیشْوَرَسْیَ ساکْشادْ بَہُمُولْیَکْشَماشانْتِبھاواکْشَیَرَتْنینَ یُکْتو گُپْتَ آنْتَرِکَمانَوَ ایوَ۔

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 یَتَح پُورْوَّکالے یاح پَوِتْرَسْتْرِیَ اِیشْوَرے پْرَتْیاشامَکُرْوَّنْ تا اَپِ تادرِشِیمیوَ بھُوشاں دھارَیَنْتْیو نِجَسْوامِناں وَشْیا اَبھَوَنْ۔

for thus once also the holy women who did hope on God, were adorning themselves, being subject to their own husbands,

6 تَتھَیوَ سارا اِبْراہِیمو وَشْیا سَتِی تَں پَتِماکھْیاتَوَتِی یُویَنْچَ یَدِ سَداچارِنْیو بھَوَتھَ وْیاکُلَتَیا چَ بھِیتا نَ بھَوَتھَ تَرْہِ تَسْیاح کَنْیا آدھْوے۔

as Sarah was obedient to Abraham, calling him 'sir,' of whom ye did become daughters, doing good, and not fearing any terror.

7 ہے پُرُشاح، یُویَں جْنانَتو دُرْبَّلَتَرَبھاجَنَیرِوَ یوشِدْبھِح سَہَواسَں کُرُتَ، ایکَسْیَ جِیوَنَوَرَسْیَ سَہَبھاگِنِیبھْیَتابھْیَح سَمادَرَں وِتَرَتَ چَ نَ چیدْ یُشْماکَں پْرارْتھَناناں بادھا جَنِشْیَتے۔

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 وِشیشَتو یُویَں سَرْوَّ ایکَمَنَسَح پَرَدُحکھَے رْدُحکھِتا بھْراترِپْرَمِنَح کرِپاوَنْتَح پْرِیتِبھاواشْچَ بھَوَتَ۔

And finally, being all of one mind, having fellow-feeling, loving as brethren, compassionate, courteous,

9 اَنِشْٹَسْیَ پَرِشودھینانِشْٹَں نِنْدایا وا پَرِشودھینَ نِنْداں نَ کُرْوَّنْتَ آشِشَں دَتَّ یَتو یُویَمْ آشِرَدھِکارِنو بھَوِتُماہُوتا اِتِ جانِیتھَ۔

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 اَپَرَنْچَ، جِیوَنے پْرِییَمانو یَح سُدِنانِ دِدرِکْشَتے۔ پاپاتْ جِہْواں مرِشاواکْیاتْ سْوادھَرَو سَ نِوَرْتَّییتْ۔

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 سَ تْیَجیدْ دُشْٹَتامارْگَں سَتْکْرِیانْچَ سَماچَریتْ۔ مرِگَیانَشْچَ شانْتِں سَ نِتْیَمیوانُدھاوَتُ۔

let him turn aside from evil, and do good, let him seek peace and pursue it;

12 لوچَنے پَرَمیشَسْیونْمِیلِتے دھارْمِّکانْ پْرَتِ۔ پْرارْتھَنایاح کرِتے تیشاح تَچّھروتْرے سُگَمے سَدا۔ کْرودھاسْیَنْچَ پَریشَسْیَ کَداچارِشُ وَرْتَّتے۔

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 اَپَرَں یَدِ یُویَمْ اُتَّمَسْیانُگامِنو بھَوَتھَ تَرْہِ کو یُشْمانْ ہِںسِشْیَتے؟

and who [is] he who will be doing you evil, if of Him who is good ye may become imitators?

14 یَدِ چَ دھَرْمّارْتھَں کْلِشْیَدھْوَں تَرْہِ دھَنْیا بھَوِشْیَتھَ۔ تیشامْ آشَنْکَیا یُویَں نَ بِبھِیتَ نَ وِنْکْتَ وا۔

but if ye also should suffer because of righteousness, happy [are ye]! and of their fear be not afraid, nor be troubled,

15 مَنوبھِح کِنْتُ مَنْیَدھْوَں پَوِتْرَں پْرَبھُمِیشْوَرَں۔ اَپَرَنْچَ یُشْماکَمْ آنْتَرِکَپْرَتْیاشایاسْتَتّوَں یَح کَشْچِتْ پرِچّھَتِ تَسْمَے شانْتِبھِیتِبھْیامْ اُتَّرَں داتُں سَدا سُسَجّا بھَوَتَ۔

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 یے چَ کھْرِیشْٹَدھَرْمّے یُشْماکَں سَداچارَں دُوشَیَنْتِ تے دُشْکَرْمَّکارِنامِوَ یُشْماکَمْ اَپَوادینَ یَتْ لَجِّتا بھَوییُسْتَدَرْتھَں یُشْماکَمْ اُتَّمَح سَںویدو بھَوَتُ۔

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 اِیشْوَرَسْیابھِمَتادْ یَدِ یُشْمابھِح کْلیشَح سوڈھَوْیَسْتَرْہِ سَداچارِبھِح کْلیشَسَہَنَں وَرَں نَ چَ کَداچارِبھِح۔

for [it is] better doing good, if the will of God will it, to suffer, than doing evil;

18 یَسْمادْ اِیشْوَرَسْیَ سَنِّدھِمْ اَسْمانْ آنیتُمْ اَدھارْمِّکاناں وِنِمَیینَ دھارْمِّکَح کھْرِیشْٹو پْییکَکرِتْوَح پاپاناں دَنْڈَں بھُکْتَوانْ، سَ چَ شَرِیرَسَمْبَنْدھے مارِتَح کِنْتْواتْمَنَح سَمْبَنْدھے پُنَ رْجِیوِتو بھَوَتْ۔

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 تَتْسَمْبَنْدھے چَ سَ یاتْراں وِدھایَ کارابَدّھانامْ آتْمَناں سَمِیپے واکْیَں گھوشِتَوانْ۔

in which also to the spirits in prison having gone he did preach,

20 پُرا نوہَسْیَ سَمَیے یاوَتْ پوتو نِرَمِییَتَ تاوَدْ اِیشْوَرَسْیَ دِیرْگھَسَہِشْنُتا یَدا وْیَلَمْبَتَ تَدا تےناجْناگْراہِنوبھَوَنْ۔ تینَ پوتونالْپےرْتھادْ اَشْٹاویوَ پْرانِنَسْتویَمْ اُتِّیرْناح۔

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 تَنِّدَرْشَنَنْچاوَگاہَنَں (اَرْتھَتَح شارِیرِکَمَلِنَتایا یَسْتْیاگَح سَ نَہِ کِنْتْوِیشْوَرایوتَّمَسَںویدَسْیَ یا پْرَتَجْنا سَیوَ) یِیشُکھْرِیشْٹَسْیَ پُنَرُتّھانینیدانِیمْ اَسْمانْ اُتّارَیَتِ،

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 یَتَح سَ سْوَرْگَں گَتْویشْوَرَسْیَ دَکْشِنے وِدْیَتے سْوَرْگِییَدُوتاح شاسَکا بَلانِ چَ تَسْیَ وَشِیبھُوتا اَبھَوَنْ۔

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
