¹Wae wo'o koi' tobine, mengkoru-koi hi tomane-ni, bona ane ria-ra tomane-ni to uma mepangala' hi Lolita Alata'ala, kehi-ni toe-mi mpobalii' -ra jadi' mepangala'. Uma mingki' ni'uli' -raka napa-napa,

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;

²apa' kampohilo-ra kehi-ni to moroli' pai' pengkoru-ni, kehi-ni toe-mi mpotudui' -ra, pai' -ra mepangala' -mi-hawo hi Pue'.

²seeing your pure behavior in fear.

³Ane doko' subo' -koi, neo' kasuboa' to hi mali-na-wadi, hewa mporampai wuluwoo' ba mpakancola woto hante bulawa pai' pohea to masuli' oli-na.

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;

⁴Poko kasuboa' mpu'u-le, mehupa' ngkai rala nono-ta, hewa rapa' -na tobine to monono pai' to mo'olu kehi-na. Toe-hana kasuboa' to uma ria kabalia' -na, pai' to masuli' lia oli-na hi poncilo Alata'ala.

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.

⁵Apa' wae wo'o-hawo po'ingku tobine to owi to moroli' katuwu' -ra pai' to ncarumaka Alata'ala. Tobine toera jadi' subo' apa' mengkoru-ra hi tomane-ra.

⁵For this is how the holy women before, who hoped in God also adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands:

⁶Hewa rapa' -na Sara mpotuku' hawa' -na Abraham tomane-na, pai' nahanga' -i tua. Hiaa' koi' ompi', ma'ala ta'uli' ana' Sara-mokoi, ane nituku' po'ingku-na to lompe' pai' uma-koi me'eka' ane ria to mpobalinai' -koi.

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.

⁷Wae wo'o koi' tomane, tuwu' hintuwu' -koi hante tobine-ni, pai' penonoi beiwa ohea-ni mpotulungi-ra, apa' karohoa-ra uma hewa karohoa tomane. Aga nau' wae, tobine-ni bate hibalia hante koi' hi poncilo Alata'ala, apa' nawai' wo'o-ra-rawo katuwua' to duu' kahae-hae-na hibalia koi'. Toe pai' kana nibila' -ra hewa to kasipato' -na. Apa' ane uma-koi hintuwu' hante tobine-ni, telawa' mpai' posampaya-ni.

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.

⁸Ka'omea-na, tuwu' hintuwu' -ta omea, hameha' hawa' pai' hanono lau, momepoka'ahi' hewa to ntali ompi', lompe' nono pai' mpakadingki' nono hi doo.

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

⁹Ane ria tauna to mpodaa' -ta, neo' tapehawai hante to dada'a. Ane ralibui' -ta, neo' tatimalihi-ra. Agina-pi gau' to dada'a toe tapehawai hante mperapi' -raka gane' to lompe' ngkai Alata'ala. Apa' Alata'ala mpokio' -ta jadi' topetuku' -na bona mporata gane' to lompe' ngkai Hi'a.

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.

¹⁰Hi rala Buku Tomoroli' te'uki' hewa toi: Hema to doko' goe' pai' lompe' tuwu' -na kana mpojagai wiwi-na bona neo' -i mpohowa' lolita to dada'a, pai' neo' -i mebagiu.

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

¹¹Kana nabahakai gau' to dada'a pai' babehi-mi gau' to lompe'. Kana nahuduwukui mpali' kahintuwuaa' hi doo.

¹¹Let him turn away from evil, and do good. Let him seek peace, and pursue it.

¹²Apa' Pue' mpewili' tauna to mpotuku' konoa-na, pai' na'epe pekakae-ra. Aga na'ewa tauna to dada'a gau' -ra."

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

¹³Ha hema-hana to mpodaa' -tae ane tida-ta mpobabehi po'ingku to lompe' -e?

¹³Now who is he who will harm you, if you become imitators of that which is good?

¹⁴Aga ane rapa' -na mporata kaparia mpu'u-ta ngkai kehi-ta to monoa', marasi' lau-ta ompi'! Jadi', ane ria to mpongasai' -ta, neo' tapoka'eka' -ra pai' neo' koro'.

¹⁴But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you are blessed. “Don’t fear what they fear, neither be troubled.” Isaiah 8:12

¹⁵Tonu katuwu' -ta hi Kristus, pai' pangaku' -mi Kahi'a-na-wadi Pue' -ta. Kana taporodo ami' -mi petompoi' -ta mpotompoi' tauna to mpekune' -ta napa pai' ncarumaka Alata'ala-ta. Aga tatompoi' -ra, hante lolita to mo'olu pai' hante nono to dingki'.

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:

¹⁶Pai' uma ma'ala kasalaia' po'ingku-ta. Po'ingku-ta kana hewa to masipato' hi topetuku' Kristus, bona ane ria tauna to mpobalihi-ta, me'ea' huli' lau-ra-wadi mpai'.

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.

¹⁷Lompe' -di ane mporata kaparia-ta sabana ingku-ta to lompe', ane toe konoa Alata'ala hi kita'. Agina lau-pi toe, ngkai mporata kaparia sabana ingku-ta to dada'a.

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

¹⁸Apa' Kristus wo'o mporata kaparia nau' uma ria sala' -na. Mate hangkani lau-i-wadi mpokolo jeko' manusia'. Hi'a to uma ria sala' -na mposampei-ta to masala', bona nakeni-ta hi Alata'ala. Woto-na rapatehi, tapi' rapotuwu' nculii' -imi hante baraka' Inoha' Tomoroli'.

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;

¹⁹Hante baraka' Inoha' Tomoroli' toe, hilou-imi mpopalele pedagia-na hi rate-rate to ratarungku'.

¹⁹in which he also went and preached to the spirits in prison,

²⁰Ratarungku' -ra toe sabana pesapuaka-ra hi Alata'ala owi nto'u katuwua' -na nabi Nuh. Nto'u toe owi, moloe ahi' -na Alata'ala mpopea kabali' nono manusia' bula-na Nuh mpobabehi sakaya-na. Aga ka'omea-na, Alata'ala mpogero dunia' hante ue, pai' walu-ra-wadi tauna to mesua' hi rala sakaya pai' mporata kalompea'.

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.

²¹Ue to mpogero dunia' nto'u toe, ma'ala rarapai' -ki ada peniu' tempo toi, apa' ada toe mpokeni kalompea' hi kita' wae lau ompi'. Aga ada toe bela-hawo ada to mpobohoi' wotoloka' -ta ngkai to babo'. Ada toe taponcawa pomperapi' -ta hi Alata'ala, taperapi' bona nabohoi' nono-ta ngkai jeko'. Pai' nabohoi' mpu'u-tamo ngkai jeko' -ta, hante katuwu' -na nculii' Yesus Kristus.

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,

²²Katuwu' -na nculii' toe, hilou-imi hi suruga, pai' -i mohura hi mali ka'ana Alata'ala. Hawe'ea mala'eka pai' topoparenta pai' pue' -pue' to mobaraka' ntani' -na, rapopengkoru hi Hi'a omea-ramo.

²²who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, angels and authorities and powers being made subject to him.
