1In like manner also let wives be subject to their husbands: that if any believe not the word, they may be won without the word, by the conversation of the wives.
1Ko kimoutolu ʻae kau fefine foki, mou fakavaivai ki homou husepāniti ʻomoutolu; koeʻuhi ka ai ha niʻihi ʻe ʻikai talangofua ki he folofola, ke liliu mai ʻakinautolu foki ʻe he anga ʻoe moʻui ʻae kau fefine, ʻo taʻekau ʻae folofola;
2Considering your chaste conversation with fear.
2ʻI heʻenau mamata ki hoʻomou moʻui angamaʻa fakataha mo e manavahē.
3Whose adorning let it not be the outward plaiting of the hair, or the wearing of gold, or the putting on of apparel:
3Pea ko honau teunga ke ʻoua naʻa ʻituʻa pe, ʻi he fi ʻoe louʻulu, mo e ai ʻoe koula, mo e ai ʻoe ngaahi kofu;
4But the hidden man of the heart in the incorruptibility of a quiet and a meek spirit, which is rich in the sight of God.
4Ka ke teunga ʻae tangata fufū ʻoe loto ʻaki ʻae meʻa taʻeʻauha, ʻaia ko e loto angavaivai mo angamalū, pea ʻoku maʻongoʻonga lahi ʻaupito ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua.
5For after this manner heretofore the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands:
5He naʻe pehē foki ʻae teunga ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻe he kau fefine māʻoniʻoni ʻi muʻa, naʻa nau falala ki he ʻOtua, ʻo fakavaivaiʻi ʻakinautolu ki honau husepāniti ʻonautolu:
6As Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters you are, doing well, and not fearing any disturbance.
6ʻO hangē naʻe talangofua ʻa Sela kia ʻEpalahame, ʻo ne ui ia ʻeiki: ko e fānau ʻaʻana ʻakimoutolu, lolotonga hoʻomou fai lelei, mo taʻemanavahē ʻi he manavahē kovi.
7Ye husbands, likewise dwelling with them according to knowledge, giving honour to the female as to the weaker vessel, and as to the co-heirs of the grace of life: that your prayers be not hindered.
7Ko kimoutolu foki ʻae kau tangata, ke mou nonofo mo kinautolu ʻo fakatatau ki he ʻilo, ʻo fakaʻapaʻapa ki he uaifi, ʻo taau mo e ipu vaivai, pea ke hangē ko e kaunga hoko mo ia ki he ʻofa fakamoʻui; pea koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa taʻofia hoʻomou ngaahi lotu.
8And in fine, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, being lovers of the brotherhood, merciful, modest, humble:
8Pea ko hono fakaʻosi, ke mou uouangataha pe, pea femanavaʻofaʻaki kiate kimoutolu, mou ʻofa fakakāinga, mou loto ongongofua, pea angalelei:
9Not rendering evil for evil, nor railing for railing, but contrariwise, blessing: for unto this are you called, that you may inherit a blessing.
9ʻO ʻikai totongi ʻae kovi ʻaki ʻae kovi, pe ko e lea kovi ʻaki ʻae lea kovi: kae kehe ke tāpuaki; he ʻoku mou ʻilo kuo ui ʻakimoutolu ki ai, koeʻuhi ke mou maʻu ʻae tāpuaki.
10For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile.
10He ko ia, “ʻOku loto ke ʻofa ki he moʻui, pea ke mamata ki he ngaahi ʻaho lelei, ke taʻofi ʻe ia hono ʻelelo mei he kovi, mo hono loungutu ke ʻoua naʻa lea ʻaki ʻae kākā:
11Let him decline from evil, and do good: let him seek after peace and pursue it:
11Ke afe ia mei he kovi, kae fai lelei ke kumi ʻe ia ʻae melino, pea tuli ki ai.
12Because the eyes of the Lord are upon the just, and his ears unto their prayers: but the countenance of the Lord upon them that do evil things.
12He ʻoku ʻi he kakai māʻoniʻoni ʻae fofonga ʻoe ʻEiki, pea ʻoku ongo kiate ia ʻenau ngaahi lotu: ka ʻoku houhau ʻae fofonga ʻoe ʻEiki kiate kinautolu ʻoku fai kovi.”
13And who is he that can hurt you, if you be zealous of good?
13Pea ko hai ia te ne fai ha kovi kiate kimoutolu, ʻo kamou ka faʻifaʻitaki kiate kinautolu ʻoku lelei?
14But if also you suffer any thing for justice’ sake, blessed are ye. And be not afraid of their fear, and be not troubled.
14Pea kapau ʻe mamahi ʻakimoutolu koeʻuhi ko e māʻoniʻoni, ʻoku mou monūʻia: pea ʻoua ʻe manavahē ki heʻenau fakamanavahē, pea ʻoua ʻe puputuʻu;
15But sanctify the Lord Christ in your hearts, being ready always to satisfy every one that asketh you a reason of that hope which is in you.
15Kae fakaʻapaʻapa ki he ʻEiki ko e ʻOtua ʻi homou loto: pea mou nofo teu pe ke talia ʻi he angavaivai mo e manavahē ʻae tangata kotoa pē ʻe ʻekea ʻakimoutolu ki hono ʻuhinga ʻoe ʻamanaki lelei ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu:
16But with modesty and fear, having a good conscience: that whereas they speak evil of you, they may be ashamed who falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.
16ʻO maʻu ʻae ʻatamai lelei; koeʻuhi, ʻi heʻenau lauʻikovi ʻakimoutolu, ʻo hangē ko e kau faikovi, ke mā ʻakinautolu ʻoku nau lohiakiʻi ʻa hoʻomou moʻui lelei ʻia Kalaisi.
17For it is better doing well (if such be the will of God) to suffer, than doing ill.
17He ʻoku lelei lahi, ʻo kapau ko e finangalo ʻoe ʻOtua ke pehē, ke mou mamahiʻia koeʻuhi ko e fai lelei, kaeʻoua ʻi he fai kovi
18Because Christ also died once for our sins, the just for the unjust: that he might offer us to God, being put to death indeed in the flesh, but enlivened in the spirit,
18He naʻe mamahi foki ʻo tuʻo taha pe ʻa Kalaisi koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi angahala, ko e angatonu mā ʻae taʻeangatonu, koeʻuhi ke ne ʻomi ʻakitautolu ki he ʻOtua, kuo fakapoongi ia ʻi he sino, kae fakaake ʻe he Laumālie:
19In which also coming he preached to those spirits that were in prison:
19ʻAia naʻe ʻalu ai ia ʻo ne malanga ki he ngaahi laumālie ʻoku ʻi he fale fakapōpula;
20Which had been some time incredulous, when they waited for the patience of God in the days of Noe, when the ark was a building: wherein a few, that is, eight souls, were saved by water.
20ʻAkinautolu naʻe talangataʻa ʻi muʻa ʻi he tatali mo e faʻa kātaki ʻae ʻOtua ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Noa, lolotonga ʻae teuteu ʻae vaka, ʻaia naʻe fakamoʻui ai ʻa e tokosiʻi i he vai, ko e toko valu pē.
21Whereunto baptism being of the like form, now saveth you also: not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the examination of a good conscience towards God by the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
21Pea ko hono tatau moʻoni, ʻaia ko e papitaiso, ʻoku ne fakamoʻui eni ʻakitautolu, (ʻikai ko e siʻaki ʻoe ʻuli ʻoe kakano, ka ko e fakamoʻoni ʻoe ʻatamai lelei ki he ʻOtua,) ʻi he toetuʻu ʻa Sisu Kalaisi:
22Who is on the right hand of God, swallowing down death, that we might be made heirs of life everlasting: being gone into heaven, the angels and powers and virtues being made subject to him.
22ʻAia kuo ʻalu ki loto langi, pea ʻoku ne ʻi he nima toʻomataʻu ʻoe ʻOtua; kuo fakamoʻulaloa kiate ia ʻae kau ʻāngelo mo e ngaahi pule mo e ngaahi mālohi.
