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

Likewise, wives, subject to your own husbands, that, even if any are disobedient to the word, they may be gained without word by the conversation of the wives,

2 c ind va vor vedea felul vostru de trai: curat si in temere.

having witnessed your pure conversation in fear;

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

whose adorning let it not be that outward one of tressing of hair, and wearing gold, or putting on apparel;

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

but the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptible of a meek and quiet spirit, which in the sight of God is of great price.

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

For thus also the holy women who have hoped in God heretofore adorned themselves, being subject to their own husbands;

6 c a 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.

as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord; whose children ye have become, doing good, and not fearing with any kind of consternation.

7 B arbatilor, 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.

husbands likewise, dwell with according to knowledge, as with a weaker, the female, vessel, giving honour, as also fellow-heirs of grace of life, that your prayers be not hindered.

8 I ncolo, toti sa fiti cu aceleasi ginduri, simtind cu altii, iubind ca fratii, milosi, smeriti.

Finally, all of one mind, sympathising, full of brotherly love, tender hearted, humble minded;

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

not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing; but on the contrary, blessing, because ye have been called to this, that ye should inherit blessing.

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

For he that will love life and see good days, let him cause his tongue to cease from evil and his lips that they speak no guile.

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

And let him avoid evil, and do good; let him seek peace and pursue it;

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

because eyes of Lord on righteous, and his ears towards their supplications; but face of Lord against them that do evil.

13 S i cine va va face rau, daca sunteti plini de rivna pentru bine?

And who shall injure you if ye have become imitators of that which good?

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

But if also ye should suffer for righteousness' sake, blessed; but be not afraid of their fear, neither be troubled;

15 C i 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,

but sanctify Lord the Christ in your hearts, and always prepared to an answer every one that asks you to give an account of the hope that in you, but with meekness and fear;

16 a vind 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.

having a good conscience, that in which they speak against you as evildoers, they may be ashamed who calumniate your good conversation in Christ.

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

For better, if the will of God should will it, to suffer well-doers than evildoers;

18 H ristos, 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,

for Christ indeed has once suffered for sins, just for unjust, that he might bring us to God; being put to death in flesh, but made alive in Spirit,

19 i n care S-a dus sa propovaduiasca duhurilor din inchisoare,

in which also going he preached to the spirits in prison,

20 c are 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.

heretofore disobedient, when the longsuffering of God waited in days of Noah while the ark was preparing, into which few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water:

21 I coana 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,

which figure also now saves you, baptism, not a putting away of filth of flesh, but demand as before God of a good conscience, by resurrection of Jesus Christ,

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

who is at right hand of God, gone into heaven, angels and authorities and powers being subjected to him.
