¹Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives;

¹Huchimahbangin, nou jite aw, noumau pasalte thuthu in om un, huchiin alakua khenkhatin Pathian thu um kei mahle uh na tatdan uh zohin a om ding uhi,

²While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.

²laudan siam kawma na tatdan siangthou uh en in.

³Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;

³Na kivatnauh pawlam kivatna samphekte, dangkaeng khi awhte, puansilha kivatte bang hilou in,

⁴But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.

⁴lungtang a mihing thuguk lungsim thu nuailut leh nunnem puansilh setheilou a kivat hizawleh, huaituh Pathian mitmuh in a manpha mahmah hi.

⁵For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands:

⁵Huchibang in tuma lam a numei siangthou Pathian gingtate leng amau pasalte thuthu a om in a kivan ngei jel ua.

⁶Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.

⁶Sara in Abraham tuh, toupa chi a athua a om bang in. Thilhoih hih a, khem launa himhim laulou a na om uleh Sara tate nahi ding uhi.

⁷Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.

⁷Nou pasal te aw, huchibang mah in, numei zaw bel kitambaih zaw ahihjiakun leh, hehpihna hinna tanpihte ahih jiakun, pahtawi kawm in theihna bang jel in najite uh kiang ah om un, na thumnate uh dal a a om louhna ding in.

⁸Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:

⁸Atawppen in, navekun lungsim munkhat in om unla, ki lainat tuah unla, thunuailut in om un.

⁹Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.

⁹Khelhna khelhna in thuk kei unla, salhna salhna in thuk sam kei unla, vualzawl zogeih un. Hiaijiakin sap nahi ngal ua, vualjawlna tang ding in.

¹⁰For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:

¹⁰Hinna it ut leh nihoihte mu ut in khelhna lak ah a lei venghoih leh, a muk leng zekhemna thu genlou ding innveng hoih hen.

¹¹Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.

¹¹Gilou nungngat san in thilhoih hih hen; kituahna zong in delh zel hen.

¹²For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.

¹²Toupa mit tuh midiktatte tungah a tu a, abil leng a thumna lam uah a doh zel a, ahihhangin Toupa mel tuh thil hihkhialte tungah a nim nak, chih ahi ngala.

¹³And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?

¹³Thil hoih lam a phatuam nangaih uleh, na pawi khoih ding uh kua a om dia?

¹⁴But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;

¹⁴Himahleh, diktatna jiaka na thuakta bang na hih uleh, na hampha ding uhi. A kihtakhuaina uh kihta kei un;

¹⁵But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

¹⁵ahihhangin na lungtang uah Kris tuh Toupa in bawl un; noumau a om na lamet pen uh hon dong peuhmah dawng ding in mansa gige in om uh, himahleh thunuai lut tak leh laudan siam tak kawm in:

¹⁶Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.

¹⁶sia leh pha theihna siang tak nei un, huchiin nou a hon gensiatna lam uah, Kris a na omdan hoihtak uh gen thanghuaite tuh hih jahlakin a om thei ding uhi.

¹⁷For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.

¹⁷Thil gilou hih ziaka thuak sangin Pathian hoihsak lam ahih leh thil hoih hih jiak a thuak tuh a hoihjaw ngala.

¹⁸For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:

¹⁸Pathian kiang a hon pi theihna ding in Kris in khehnate jiakin khatvei a thuakta ngala, midiktat-in mi diktatloute sik in a thuak a; sa ah hihsih in a om a, kha ah tuh hih hin in a omta hi;

¹⁹By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;

¹⁹huain suangkulh a kha omte kiang a thu ava tangkou pih a,

²⁰Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.

²⁰huaimiten nidanglai a Noa damlai a long bawl sungteng a, Pathian thuakzawhna in a ngak lai in thu amang kei ua; huai long ah mi tawmchik, huaituh mi giat tui apan humbit in a om uhi.

²¹The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:

²¹Huan, huai etsakna baptisma in, sapum nitna siansakna dan hilou in, Pathian mai a sianlehpha- theihna siansakna dan hizaw in, Jesu Kris thohnawnna ziakin tu in nou hon hukheta hi.Amahtuh van a pai in Pathian taklam ah a om a; angelte, thuneihnate, thil hihtheihnate amah thuthu-a omsak in a omta hi.

²²Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.

²²Amahtuh van a pai in Pathian taklam ah a om a; angelte, thuneihnate, thil hihtheihnate amah thuthu-a omsak in a omta hi.
