3:1
|
你们作妻子的要顺服自己的丈夫；这样，若有不信从道理的丈夫，他们虽然不听道，也可以因妻子的品行被感化过来；
|
|
|
In like manner, ye wives, [be] in subjection to your won husbands; that, even if any obey not the word, they may without the word be gained by the behavior of their wives;
|
|
3:2
|
这正是因看见你们有贞洁的品行和敬畏的心。
|
|
|
beholding your chaste behavior [coupled] with fear.
|
|
3:3
|
你们不要以外面的辫头发，戴金饰，穿美衣为妆饰，
|
|
|
Whose [adorning] let it not be the outward adorning of braiding the hair, and of wearing jewels of gold, or of putting on apparel;
|
|
3:4
|
只要以里面存着长久温柔，安静的心为妆饰；这在神面前是极宝贵的。
|
|
|
but [let it be] the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptible [apparel] of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
|
|
3:5
|
因为古时仰赖神的圣洁妇人正是以此为妆饰，顺服自己的丈夫，
|
|
|
For after this manner aforetime the holy women also, who hoped in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands:
|
|
3:6
|
就如撒拉听从亚伯拉罕，称他为主。你们若行善，不因恐吓而害怕，便是撒拉的女儿了。
|
|
|
as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose children ye now are, if ye do well, and are not put in fear by any terror.
|
|
3:7
|
你们作丈夫的，也要按情理﹝原文作知识﹞和妻子同住；因他比你软弱，（比你软弱：原文作是软弱的器皿）与你一同承受生命之恩的，所以要敬重他。这样，便叫你们的祷告没有阻碍。
|
|
|
Ye husbands, in like manner, dwell with [your wives] according to knowledge, giving honor unto the woman, as unto the weaker vessel, as being also joint-heirs of the grace of life; to the end that your prayers be not hindered.
|
|
3:8
|
总而言之，你们都要同心，彼此体恤，相爱如弟兄，存慈怜谦卑的心。
|
|
|
Finally, [be] ye all likeminded, compassionate, loving as brethren, tenderhearted, humbleminded:
|
|
3:9
|
不以恶报恶，以辱骂还辱骂，倒要祝福；因你们是为此蒙召，好叫你们承受福气。
|
|
|
not rendering evil for evil, or reviling for reviling; but contrariwise blessing; for hereunto were ye called, that ye should inherit a blessing.
|
|
3:10
|
因为经上说：人若爱生命，愿享美福，须要禁止舌头不出恶言，嘴唇不说诡诈的话；
|
|
|
For, He that would love life, And see good days, Let him refrain his tongue from evil, And his lips that they speak no guile:
|
|
3:11
|
也要离恶行善；寻求和睦，一心追赶。
|
|
|
And let him turn away from evil, and do good; Let him seek peace, and pursue it.
|
|
3:12
|
因为，主的眼看顾义人；主的耳听他们的祈祷。惟有行恶的人，主向他们变脸。
|
|
|
For the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, And his ears unto their supplication: But the face of the Lord is upon them that do evil.
|
|
3:13
|
你们若是热心行善，有谁害你们呢？
|
|
|
And who is he that will harm you, if ye be zealous of that which is good?
|
|
3:14
|
你们就是为义受苦，也是有福的。不要怕人的威吓，也不要惊慌；（的威吓：或作所怕的）
|
|
|
But even if ye should suffer for righteousness` sake, blessed [are ye:] and fear not their fear, neither be troubled;
|
|
3:15
|
只要心里尊主基督为圣。有人问你们心中盼望的缘由，就要常作准备，以温柔、敬畏的心回答各人；
|
|
|
but sanctify in your hearts Christ as Lord: [being] ready always to give answer to every man that asketh you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, yet with meekness and fear:
|
|
3:16
|
存着无亏的良心，叫你们在何事上被毁谤，就在何事上可以叫那诬赖你们在基督里有好品行的人自觉羞愧。
|
|
|
having a good conscience; that, wherein ye are spoken against, they may be put to shame who revile your good manner of life in Christ.
|
|
3:17
|
神的旨意若是叫你们因行善受苦，总强如因行恶受苦。
|
|
|
For it is better, if the will of God should so will, that ye suffer for well-doing than for evil-doing.
|
|
3:18
|
因基督也曾一次为罪受苦（有古卷：受死），就是义的代替不义的，为要引我们到神面前。按着肉体说，他被治死；按着灵性说，他复活了。
|
|
|
Because Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God; being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit;
|
|
3:19
|
他藉这灵曾去传道给那些在监狱里的灵听，
|
|
|
in which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison,
|
|
3:20
|
就是那从前在挪亚预备方舟、神容忍等待的时候，不信从的人。当时进入方舟，借着水得救的不多，只有八个人。
|
|
|
that aforetime were disobedient, when the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water:
|
|
3:21
|
这水所表明的洗礼，现在借着耶稣基督复活也拯救你们；这洗礼本不在乎除掉肉体的污秽，只求在神面前有无亏的良心。
|
|
|
which also after a true likeness doth now save you, [even] baptism, not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the interrogation of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ;
|
|
3:22
|
耶稣已经进入天堂，在神的右边；众天使和有权柄的，并有能力的，都服从了他。
|
|
|
who is one the right hand of God, having gone into heaven; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.
