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

¹Likewise, wives, [be] subject to your own husbands, that, even if any are disobedient to the word, they may be gained without [the] word by the conversation of the wives,

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

²having witnessed your pure conversation [carried out] in fear;

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

³whose adorning let it not be that outward one of tressing of hair, and wearing gold, or putting on apparel;

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

⁴but the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptible [ornament] of a meek and quiet spirit, which in the sight of God is of great price.

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

⁵For thus also the holy women who have hoped in God heretofore adorned themselves, being subject to their own husbands;

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

⁶as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord; whose children ye have become, doing good, and not fearing with any kind of consternation.

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

⁷[Ye] husbands likewise, dwell with [them] according to knowledge, as with a weaker, [even] the female, vessel, giving [them] honour, as also fellow-heirs of [the] grace of life, that your prayers be not hindered.

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

⁸Finally, [be] all of one mind, sympathising, full of brotherly love, tender hearted, humble minded;

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

⁹not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing; but on the contrary, blessing [others], because ye have been called to this, that ye should inherit blessing.

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

¹⁰For he that will love life and see good days, let him cause his tongue to cease from evil and his lips that they speak no guile.

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

¹¹And let him avoid evil, and do good; let him seek peace and pursue it;

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

¹²because [the] eyes of [the] Lord [are] on [the] righteous, and his ears towards their supplications; but [the] face of [the] Lord [is] against them that do evil.

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

¹³And who shall injure you if ye have become imitators of that which [is] good?

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

¹⁴But if also ye should suffer for righteousness' sake, blessed [are ye]; but be not afraid of their fear, neither be troubled;

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

¹⁵but sanctify [the] Lord the Christ in your hearts, and [be] always prepared to [give] an answer [to] every one that asks you to give an account of the hope that [is] in you, but with meekness and fear;

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.

¹⁶having a good conscience, that [as to that] in which they speak against you as evildoers, they may be ashamed who calumniate your good conversation in Christ.

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

¹⁷For [it is] better, if the will of God should will it, to suffer [as] well-doers than [as] evildoers;

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,

¹⁸for Christ indeed has once suffered for sins, [the] just for [the] unjust, that he might bring us to God; being put to death in flesh, but made alive in [the] Spirit,

¹⁹kelles ta läks ja kuulutas vangis olevaile vaimudele,

¹⁹in which also going he preached to the spirits [which are] in prison,

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

²⁰heretofore disobedient, when the longsuffering of God waited in [the] days of Noah while the ark was preparing, into which few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water:

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

²¹which figure also now saves you, [even] baptism, not a putting away of [the] filth of flesh, but [the] demand as before God of a good conscience, by [the] resurrection of Jesus Christ,

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

²²who is at [the] right hand of God, gone into heaven, angels and authorities and powers being subjected to him.
