1 W ives, likewise, be submissive to your own husbands, that even if some do not obey the word, they, without a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives,

Tot astfel, nevestelor, fiti supuse si voi barbatilor vostri; pentru ca, daca unii nu asculta Cuvintul, sa fie cistigati fara cuvint, prin purtarea nevestelor lor,

2 w hen they observe your chaste conduct accompanied by fear.

cind va vor vedea felul vostru de trai: curat si in temere.

3 D o not let your adornment be merely outward—arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel—

Podoaba voastra sa nu fie podoaba de afara, care sta in impletitura parului, in purtarea de scule de aur sau in imbracarea hainelor,

4 r ather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God.

ci sa fie omul ascuns al inimii, in curatia nepieritoare a unui duh blind si linistit, care este de mare pret inaintea lui Dumnezeu.

5 F or in this manner, in former times, the holy women who trusted in God also adorned themselves, being submissive to their own husbands,

Astfel se impodobeau odinioara sfintele femei, care nadajduiau in Dumnezeu, si erau supuse barbatilor lor;

6 a s Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose daughters you are if you do good and are not afraid with any terror. A Word to Husbands

ca Sara, care asculta pe Avraam si-l numea "domnul ei." Fiicele ei v-ati facut voi, daca faceti binele fara sa va temeti de ceva.

7 H usbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered. Called to Blessing

Barbatilor, purtati-va si voi, la rindul vostru, cu intelepciune cu nevestele voastre, dind cinste femeii ca unui vas mai slab, ca unele care vor mosteni impreuna cu voi harul vietii, ca sa nu fie impiedicate rugaciunile voastre.

8 F inally, all of you be of one mind, having compassion for one another; love as brothers, be tenderhearted, be courteous;

Incolo, toti sa fiti cu aceleasi ginduri, simtind cu altii, iubind ca fratii, milosi, smeriti.

9 n ot returning evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary blessing, knowing that you were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing.

Nu intoarceti rau pentru rau, nici ocara pentru ocara, dimpotriva, binecuvintati, caci la aceasta ati fost chemati: sa mosteniti binecuvintarea.

10 F or “He who would love life And see good days, Let him refrain his tongue from evil, And his lips from speaking deceit.

"Caci cine iubeste viata, si vrea sa vada zile bune, sa-si infrineze limba de la rau, si buzele de la cuvinte inselatoare.

11 L et him turn away from evil and do good; Let him seek peace and pursue it.

Sa se departeze de rau si sa faca binele, sa caute pacea, si s-o urmareasca.

12 F or the eyes of the L ord are on the righteous, And His ears are open to their prayers; But the face of the L ord is against those who do evil.” Suffering for Right and Wrong

Caci ochii Domnului sunt peste cei neprihaniti, si urechile Lui iau aminte la rugaciunile lor. Dar Fata Domnului este impotriva celor ce fac raul."

13 A nd who is he who will harm you if you become followers of what is good?

Si cine va va face rau, daca sunteti plini de rivna pentru bine?

14 B ut even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you are blessed. “And do not be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled.”

Chiar daca aveti de suferit pentru neprihanire, ferice de voi! "N-aveti nici o teama de ei, si nu va tulburati!

15 B ut sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear;

Ci sfintiti in inimile voastre pe Hristos ca Domn." Fiti totdeauna gata sa raspundeti oricui va cere socoteala de nadejdea care este in voi; dar cu blindete si teama,

16 h aving a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed.

avind un cuget curat, pentru ca cei ce birfesc purtarea voastra buna in Hristos, sa ramina de rusine tocmai in lucrurile in care va vorbesc de rau.

17 F or it is better, if it is the will of God, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil. Christ’s Suffering and Ours

Caci este mai bine, daca asa este voia lui Dumnezeu, sa suferiti pentru ca faceti binele, decit pentru ca faceti raul.

18 F or Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit,

Hristos, de asemenea, a suferit o data pentru pacate, El, Cel neprihanit, pentru cei nelegiuiti, ca sa ne aduca la Dumnezeu. El a fost omorit in trup, dar a fost inviat in duh,

19 b y whom also He went and preached to the spirits in prison,

in care S-a dus sa propovaduiasca duhurilor din inchisoare,

20 w ho formerly were disobedient, when once the Divine longsuffering waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water.

care fusesera razvratite odinioara, cind indelunga rabdare a lui Dumnezeu era in asteptare, in zilele lui Noe, cind se facea corabia, in care au fost scapate prin apa un mic numar de suflete, si anume opt.

21 T here is also an antitype which now saves us—baptism (not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

Icoana aceasta inchipuitoare va mintuieste acum pe voi, si anume botezul, care nu este o curatire de intinaciunile trupesti, ci marturia unui cuget curat inaintea lui Dumnezeu prin invierea lui Isus Hristos,

22 w ho has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, angels and authorities and powers having been made subject to Him.

care sta la dreapta lui Dumnezeu, dupa ce S-a inaltat la cer, si Si-a supus ingerii, stapinirile si puterile.
