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

¹In the same way, wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; so that, even if any don’t obey the Word, they may be won by the behavior of their wives without a word;

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

²seeing your pure behavior in fear.

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

³Let your beauty be not just the outward adorning of braiding the hair, and of wearing jewels of gold, or of putting on fine clothing;

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

⁴but in the hidden person of the heart, in the incorruptible adornment of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God very precious.

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

⁵For this is how the holy women before, who hoped in God also adorned themselves, being in subjection 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 you now are, if you do well, and are not put in fear by any terror.

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

⁷You husbands, in the same way, live with your wives according to knowledge, giving honor to the woman, as to the weaker vessel, as being also joint heirs of the grace of life; that your prayers may not be hindered.

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

⁸Finally, be all like-minded, compassionate, loving as brothers, tenderhearted, courteous,

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 insult for insult; but instead blessing; knowing that to this were you called, that you may inherit a blessing.

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

¹⁰For, “He who would love life, and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking deceit.

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

¹¹Let him turn away from 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.'

¹²For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears open to their prayer; but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.” Psalm 34:12-16

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

¹³Now who is he who will harm you, if you 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 even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you are blessed. “Don’t fear what they fear, neither be troubled.” Isaiah 8:12

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

¹⁵But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts; and always be ready to give an answer to everyone who asks you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, with humility 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, while you are spoken against as evildoers, they may be disappointed who curse your good way of life in Christ.

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

¹⁷For it is better, if it is God’s will, that you suffer for doing well than for doing evil.

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,

¹⁸Because Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring you to God; being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit;

¹⁹kelles ta läks ja kuulutas vangis olevaile vaimudele,

¹⁹in which he also went and preached to the spirits 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.

²⁰who before were disobedient, when God waited patiently in the days of Noah, while the ship was being built. In it, 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,

²¹This is a symbol of baptism, which now saves you—not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God, through 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, having gone into heaven, angels and authorities and powers being made subject to him.
