¹Tak podobne ženy podriaďujúc sa vlastným mužom, aby, jestli aj niektorí neveria slovu, boli získaní pobožným obcovaním žien bezo slova

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,

²vidiac vaše v bázni mravočisté obcovanie,

²having beheld your pure behaviour in fear,

³ktorých ozdobou nech nie je vonkajšia ozdoba, ktorá záleží v zápletoch vlasov, vo vešaní na seba zlata alebo v obliekaní sa do nádherného rúcha,

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,

⁴ale skrytý srdca človek v neporušiteľnom krotkosti a tichosti ducha, čo je drahocenné pred Bohom.

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

⁵Lebo tak sa kedysi ozdobovaly aj aj sväté ženy, ktoré sa nadejaly na Boha, podriaďujúc sa vlastným mužom,

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

⁶ako Sára poslúchala Abraháma volajúc ho pánom, ktoré ste sa staly dcérami činiac dobré a nebojac sa nijakého strachu.

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

⁷Vy, mužovia, tak podobne, spolubývajte s nimi podľa rozumu jako so slabšou nádobou ženskou preukazujúc im úctu jako tiež spoludedičom milosti života, aby vaše modlitby nemaly prekážky.

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.

⁸A konečne buďte všetci rovnako smýšľajúci, súcitní, milujúci bratstvo, ľútostiví, dobromyseľní a pokorní,

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

⁹neodplacujúci zlého za zlé alebo nadávky za nadávku, ale naopak, žehnajte vediac, že ste nato povolaní, aby ste zdedili požehnanie.

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;

¹⁰Lebo ten, kto chce milovať život a vidieť dobré dni, nech zdrží svoj jazyk od zlého a svoje rty, aby nevravely lesti,

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;

¹¹a nech sa odkloní od zlého a činí dobré; nech hľadá pokoj a stíha ho.

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

¹²Lebo oči Pánove hľadia na spravedlivých, a jeho uši pozorujú na ich prosbu, ale prísna tvár Pánova na tých, ktorí robia zlé.

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;`

¹³A ktože vám urobí zlé, keď budete horlivými nasledovníkmi dobrého?

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

¹⁴Ale keby ste aj trpeli pre spravedlivosť, blahoslavení ste. A ich bázne sa nebojte ani sa neznepokojujte,

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

¹⁵ale posväcujte Pána Boha vo svojich srdciach a buďte vždycky hotoví zodpovedať sa každému, kto žiada od vás počet o nádeji, ktorá je vo vás, s krotkou tichosťou a bázňou

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;

¹⁶majúc dobré svedomie, aby v tom, v čom vás osočujú ako takých, ktorí robia zlé, boli zahanbení tí, ktorí potupujú vaše v Kristu dobré obcovanie.

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;

¹⁷Lebo je lepšie, aby ste dobre činiac, ak by tak chcela vôľa Božia, trpeli, ako zle robiac.

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

¹⁸Lebo aj Kristus raz trpel a zomrel za hriechy, spravedlivý za nespravedlivých, aby nás priviedol k Bohu, usmrtený telom, ale oživený Duchom,

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,

¹⁹(v ktorom aj odíduc kázal duchom v žalári,

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

²⁰ktorí kedysi neposlúchali, keď raz vyčkávala Božia zhovievavosť za dní Noeho, keď sa staväl koráb, v ktorom bolo málo, to jest osem duší zachránených vodou),

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;

²¹ktorý aj nás, protiobraz zachránených v korábe, zachraňuje teraz ako krst, čo nie je složenie špiny tela, ale dobrého svedomia pýtanie sa po Bohu, vzkriesením Ježiša Krista,

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,

²²ktorý odíduc do neba je po pravici Boha, keď mu driev boli podriadení anjeli, vrchnosti a moci.

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