¹In 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,

¹Nõndasamuti, naised, alistuge oma meestele, et ka siis, kui mõned ei ole kuulekad sõnale, nad võidetaks usule ilma sõnata naiste käitumise läbi,

²having beheld your pure behaviour in fear,

²kui nad on tähele pannud teie puhast, aukartlikku käitumist.

³whose 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,

³Teie ehteks ärgu olgu välispidine juuste palmitsemine ega kuldkeede kandmine ega rõivad, mida te kannate,

⁴but — the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptible thing of the meek and quiet spirit, which is, before God, of great price,

⁴vaid selleks olgu varjul olev südame-inimene, tasase ja vaikse vaimu kadumatuse ilus, mis on Jumala silmis palju väärt.

⁵for thus once also the holy women who did hope on God, were adorning themselves, being subject to their own husbands,

⁵Sest nõnda on ka muiste end ehtinud pühad naised, kes Jumala peale lootsid. Nad alistusid oma meestele,

⁶as Sarah was obedient to Abraham, calling him `sir,` of whom ye did become daughters, doing good, and not fearing any terror.

⁶nii nagu Saara oli Aabrahamile kuulekas, 'hüüdes teda isandaks'. Teie olete saanud Saara lasteks, kui te teete head ega karda mingit hirmutamist.

⁷The 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.

⁷Nõndasamuti, mehed, elage mõistvalt naisega kui nõrgema astjaga. Osutage naistele austust nagu elu armuanni kaaspärijatele, et teie palvetel poleks takistusi.

⁸And finally, being all of one mind, having fellow-feeling, loving as brethren, compassionate, courteous,

⁸Aga viimaks, olge kõik üksmeelsed, kaastundlikud, vennalikud, halastajad, alandlikud.

⁹not 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;

⁹Ärge tasuge kurja kurjaga ega sõimu sõimuga, vaid hoopis õnnistage - sest õnnistamiseks te olete kutsutud -, et ka teie võiksite pärida õnnistuse.

¹⁰for `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;

¹⁰Sest 'kes tahab armastada elu ja näha häid päevi, see vaigistagu keelt kõnelemast kurja ja huuli rääkimast pettust.

¹¹let him turn aside from evil, and do good, let him seek peace and pursue it;

¹¹Ta hoidugu eemale kurjast ja tehku head, otsigu rahu ja taotlegu seda,

¹²because 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;`

¹²sest Issanda silmad on õiglaste poole ja tema kõrvad on lahti nende anumistele, aga Issanda pale on nende vastu, kes teevad kurja.'

¹³and who [is] he who will be doing you evil, if of Him who is good ye may become imitators?

¹³Kes on, kes saab teile teha kurja, kui te olete innukad tegema head?

¹⁴but if ye also should suffer because of righteousness, happy [are ye]! and of their fear be not afraid, nor be troubled,

¹⁴Aga kui te peaksite kannatama õiguse pärast, siis olete õndsad. 'Ent ärge kartke nende hirmutamist ja ärge kohkuge',

¹⁵and 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;

¹⁵vaid pühitsege Issandat Kristust oma südames, olles alati valmis kostma igaühele, kes teilt pärib aru lootuse kohta, mis teis on.

¹⁶having 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;

¹⁶Kuid tehke seda tasadusega ja aupaklikult, omades head südametunnistust, et need, kes laimavad teie head käitumist Kristuses, jääksid häbisse just selles, milles nad teid halvustavad.

¹⁷for [it is] better doing good, if the will of God will it, to suffer, than doing evil;

¹⁷Parem on head tehes kannatada, kui see on Jumala tahtmine, kui kurja tehes.

¹⁸because 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,

¹⁸Sest ka Kristus kannatas pattude pärast üheainsa korra, õige ülekohtuste eest, et ta teid juhiks Jumala juurde, olles küll ihu poolest surmatud, ent elustatud vaimu läbi,

¹⁹in which also to the spirits in prison having gone he did preach,

¹⁹kelles ta läks ja kuulutas vangis olevaile vaimudele,

²⁰who 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;

²⁰kes olid olnud sõnakuulmatud muiste, kui Jumala pikk meel ootas Noa päevil, laeva valmistamise ajal, milles vähesed - see tähendab kaheksa hinge - veest päästeti.

²¹also 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,

²¹Selle võrdkujuna päästab teidki nüüd ristimine, mis ei ole lihaliku rüveduse kõrvaldamine, vaid hea südametunnistuse taotlemine Jumalalt Jeesuse Kristuse ülestõusmise kaudu,

²²who is at the right hand of God, having gone on to heaven — messengers, and authorities, and powers, having been subjected to him.

²²kes on läinud taevasse, on Jumala paremal käel, kus temale on alistatud inglid ja meelevallad ja väed.
