I Peter 3

Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives;

Waihoki e nga wahine, kia ngohengohe ki a koutou tane ake; a ki te turi etahi ki te kupu, na, i kore i te kupu, ko te whakahaere a nga wahine hei mea e riro mai ai ratou;

While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.

I a ratou e titiro ana ki te hekore o ta koutou whakahaere me te hopohopo.

Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;

Ko te whakapaipai mo koutou, kauaka hei to waho, kauaka hei te makawe i whiria, kauaka hei te whakapiringa o nga mea koura, kauaka hei te whakakakahuranga o nga kakahu;

But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.

Engari hei te tangata ngaro o te ngakau, hei te kakahu e kore e pirau, ara te wairua mahaki, te wairua rangimarie, he mea utu nui hoki tenei i te aroaro o te Atua.

For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands:

He penei hoki i mua ta nga wahine tapu whakapaipai mo ratou, ta te hunga i whakaaro ki te Atua, ngohengohe tonu ratou ki a ratou tane ake:

Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.

Me Hera hoki i ngohengohe ki a Aperahama, ko te ariki hoki tana ingoa mona: nana hoki koutou tamariki, i a koutou e mahi pai ana, kahore hoki e mataku i tetahi whakapawera.

Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.

E nga tane hoki, kia rite ki to te matauranga to koutou noho ki a ratou, whakawhiwhia te wahine ki te honore, ko te mea kahakore hoki ia, ka uru tahi nei ano hoki korua ki te oranga ka homai noa nei; he mea kei araia a korua inoi.

Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:

Na, ko te whakamutunga nei o taku, kia kotahi te whakaaro o te katoa, kia kotahi te ngakau, kia rite te aroha ki to te tuakana, ki to te teina, kia pai te ngakau, kia ngawari:

Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.

Kaua e utua he kino ki te kino, he taunu ki te taunu: engari me manaaki: me te mahara ano kua karangatia koutou ki tenei, ara kia whiwhi koutou ki te manaaki.

For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:

Ki te mea hoki tetahi kia aroha ki te ora, kia kite i nga ra pai, me pehi e ia tona arero kei kino, ona ngutu hoki kei korero tinihanga;

Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.

Me peka ke i te kino, me mahi i te pai; ko te rangimarie hei rapunga mana, hei whainga atu mana.

For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.

No te mea hoki kei runga i te hunga tika nga kanohi o te Ariki, me ona taringa kei te tuwhera ki a ratou inoi: e he mai ana ia te mata o te Ariki ki te hunga e mahi ana i te kino.

And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?

Ko wai hoki hei homai i te he ki a koutou, ki te aru koutou i te pai?

But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;

Otiia ki te mea na te whakaaro ki te tika i whakamamaetia ai koutou, ka hari koutou: aua ra e mataku i ta ratou whakamataku, kaua e pawera;

But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

Engari whakatapua a te Karaiti hei Ariki i roto i o koutou ngakau: kia rite tonu hoki te kupu i a koutou i nga wa katoa, hei whakahokinga atu ma koutou ki nga tangata katoa, e ui ana ki a koutou ki te mea e tumanakohia atu nei e koutou; kia maha ki ano ia te ngakau, kia wehi:

Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.

Kia pai o koutou hinengaro; mo ta ratou ngautuara ki a koutou, e ki nei he kaimahi koutou i te kino, kia whakama taua hunga e whakapae teka na ki ta koutou whakahaere pai i roto i a te Karaiti.

For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.

Ki te mea hoki i a tatou e mahi ana i te pai ka takoto i te Atua he mamae mo tatou, erangi tera i te mamae i a tatou e mahi ana i te kino.

For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:

Kotahi hoki whakamamaetanga o te Karaiti mo nga hara, te tika mo te hunga he, kia arahina ai tatou e ia ki te Atua, i whakamatea ko te kikokiko, i whakaorangia ia ko te wairua:

By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;

Ko tona ano tena i tona haerenga ki te kauwhau ki nga wairua i te whare herehere:

Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.

I turi nei i mua, i te mea e tatari ana te manawanui o te Atua i nga ra i a Noa, i te mea e hanga ana te aaka, ko te mea i ora ai etahi wairua torutoru nei, ara tokowaru, i roto i te wai.

The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:

He mea whakarite ki tenei te mea e whakaora nei i a koutou inaianei, ara te iriiri, ehara i te whakawateatanga atu i te poke o te kikokiko, engari he whakaaetanga ake na te hinengaro pai ki te Atua, he meatanga na te aranga mai o Ihu Karaiti:

Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.

Kua riro nei ki te rangi, kei te ringa matau ano ia o te Atua; kei raro hoki i a ia nga anahera, nga rangatiratanga, nga kaha.
