1 Pyè 3
Nouvo Testaman: Vèsyon Kreyòl Fasil
Fason pou mari yo viv ak madanm yo
3 Nou menm medam, menm jan an tou, se pou n soumèt nou devan mari nou. Konsa, si gen nan yo ki refize kwè nan pawòl Senyè a, yo va rive kwè poutèt jan n ap viv. Nou p ap menm bezwen pale. 2 Mari nou yo ap sèlman wè kalite bon lavi n ap mennen nan respè pou Bondye. 3 Se pa bèl kout peny, anpil bijou, rad chè ki dwe fè nou bèl. 4 Men se yon bèlte anndan nou bezwen. Chache genyen yon karaktè ki dou epi poze. Se sa ki gen valè nan je Bondye epi ki p ap janm pase.
5 Se kon sa medam nan tan lontan ki te kwè nan Bondye yo te konn fè yo bèl. Yo te soumèt devan mari yo. 6 Tankou Sara ki te obeyi Abraram jouk li te rele l: “Mèt mwen.” Nou se pitit fi Sara si nou fè sa ki byen san nou pa pè anyen.
7 Nou menm tou mari, nan lavi nou ak madanm nou, pran swen madanm nou. Mete sa nan tèt nou byen, fi pi frajil pase gason. Respekte yo, paske y ap resevwa kado lavi a menm jan avèk nou. Si nou fè sa, pa gen anyen ki ka bloke priyè nou yo.
Gen soufrans nan mennen yon vi ki dwat
8 Pou fin i, se pou nou gen menm santiman youn pou lòt. Se pou nou youn renmen lòt tankou frè ak sè. Se pou nou gen dousè, epi se pou nou saj. 9 Pa rann mal pou mal, pa joure moun, menm lè yo joure nou. Okontrè, beni moun sa yo, paske se pou benediksyon Bondye te rele nou. 10 Bib la di:
“Si nou vle viv byen,
e si nou vle viv lontan sou latè,
evite pale moun mal,
evite bay manti.
11 Kouri pou sa ki mal epi fè sa ki byen.
Se pou l fè tout sa li kapab pou l viv an pè ak moun.
12 Paske Senyè a gen je li sou moun k ap fè sa ki byen,
li tou prèt pou l tande priyè yo.
Men li kont tout moun k ap fè sa ki mal.”(A)
13 Si n ap chache fè sa ki byen ak tout kè nou, ki lès moun ki pral fè nou mal? 14 Men menm si nou ta soufri paske nou fè sa ki dwat, nou se moun beni. “Pa pè yo, pa kite yo kraponnen nou.”(B) 15 Men, se pou nou gen krentif pou Kris nan kè nou epi fè lwanj pou li kòm Senyè nou. Se pou nou toujou pare pou n reponn nenpòt moun ki poze kesyon sou esperans nou genyen an. 16 Reponn yo avèk sajès ak respè. Kenbe konsyans nou klè. Konsa, moun ap wè bon lavi n ap mennen tankou disip Kris la. Moun ki pale nou mal pral wont poutèt sa yo di.
17 Li pi bon pou n soufri nan fè sa ki byen pase pou n soufri nan fè sa ki mal. Wi, li pi bon paske se sa Bondye vle.
18 Kris li menm te mouri yon fwa pou peche nou yo.
Li menm ki te inosan,
li mouri pou koupab yo,
pou l mennen yo bay Bondye.
Moun yo te touye l,
men Sentespri Bondye a te resisite l.
19 Se ak puisans Sentespri Bondye a l al pwoklame laviktwa l pami lespri ki nan prizon yo. 20 Sa vle di, sila yo ki te dezobeyi Bondye lè l t ap pran pasyans pou yo nan epòk Noye t ap bati lach la. E se yon ti gwoup uit moun sèlman ki te sove nan bato a anba gwo lapli a. 21 Dlo sa a, se tankou yon imaj batèm ki sove nou jodi a. Batèm se pa pou retire salte sou kò nou, se yon angajman nou pran pou n kenbe yon konsyans san repwòch devan Bondye. Li sove nou paske Jezikris te leve vivan nan lanmò. 22 Kounye a li monte nan syèl. Li chita adwat Bondye kote l ap domine sou tout anj, sou tout otorite ak sou tout lòt puisans nan syèl la.
1 Peter 3
New King James Version
Submission to Husbands
3 Wives, likewise, be (A)submissive to your own husbands, that even if some do not obey the word, (B)they, without a word, may (C)be won by the conduct of their wives, 2 (D)when they observe your chaste conduct accompanied by fear. 3 (E)Do not let your adornment be merely outward—arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel— 4 rather let it be (F)the hidden person of the heart, with the [a]incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God. 5 For in this manner, in former times, the holy women who trusted in God also adorned themselves, being submissive to their own husbands, 6 as Sarah obeyed Abraham, (G)calling him lord, whose daughters you are if you do good and are not afraid with any terror.
A Word to Husbands
7 (H)Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, (I)as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, (J)that your prayers may not be hindered.
Called to Blessing
8 Finally, all of you be of one mind, having compassion for one another; love as brothers, be tenderhearted, be [b]courteous; 9 (K)not returning evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary (L)blessing, knowing that you were called to this, (M)that you may inherit a blessing. 10 For
(N)“He who would love life
And see good days,
(O)Let him [c]refrain his tongue from evil,
And his lips from speaking deceit.
11 Let him (P)turn away from evil and do good;
(Q)Let him seek peace and pursue it.
12 For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
(R)And His ears are open to their prayers;
But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”
Suffering for Right and Wrong
13 (S)And who is he who will harm you if you become followers of what is good? 14 (T)But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you are blessed. (U)“And do not be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled.” 15 But [d]sanctify [e]the Lord God in your hearts, and always (V)be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the (W)hope that is in you, with meekness and fear; 16 (X)having a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed. 17 For it is better, if it is the will of God, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.
Christ’s Suffering and Ours
18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring [f]us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit, 19 by whom also He went and preached to the spirits in prison, 20 who formerly were disobedient, [g]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. 21 (Y)There is also an antitype which now saves us—baptism (Z)(not the removal of the filth of the flesh, (AA)but the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, 22 who has gone into heaven and (AB)is at the right hand of God, (AC)angels and authorities and powers having been made subject to Him.

1 Peter 3
King James Version
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;
2 While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.
3 Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;
4 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.
5 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:
6 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.
7 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.
8 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:
9 Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.
10 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:
11 Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.
12 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.
13 And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?
14 But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;
15 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:
16 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.
17 For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.
18 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:
19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;
20 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.
21 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:
22 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.
1 Peter 3
English Standard Version
Wives and Husbands
3 Likewise, wives, (A)be subject to your own husbands, so that (B)even if some do not obey the word, (C)they may be won without a word by the conduct of their wives, 2 when they see your (D)respectful and pure conduct. 3 (E)Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear— 4 but let your adorning be (F)the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious. 5 For this is how the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves, by submitting to their own husbands, 6 as Sarah obeyed Abraham, (G)calling him lord. And you are her children, if you do good and (H)do not fear anything that is frightening.
7 Likewise, (I)husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, showing honor to the woman as the weaker (J)vessel, since they are heirs with you[a] of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered.
Suffering for Righteousness' Sake
8 Finally, all of you, (K)have unity of mind, sympathy, (L)brotherly love, (M)a tender heart, and (N)a humble mind. 9 (O)Do not repay evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, (P)bless, for (Q)to this you were called, that you may obtain a blessing. 10 For
(R)“Whoever desires to love life
and see good days,
let him keep his tongue from evil
and his lips from speaking deceit;
11 let him turn away from evil and do good;
let him seek peace and pursue it.
12 For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
and his ears are open to their prayer.
But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”
13 Now (S)who is there to harm you if you are zealous for what is good? 14 (T)But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you will be blessed. (U)Have no fear of them, (V)nor be troubled, 15 but (W)in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, (X)always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and (Y)respect, 16 (Z)having a good conscience, so that, (AA)when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame. 17 For (AB)it is better to suffer for doing good, if that should be God's will, than for doing evil.
18 For Christ also (AC)suffered[b] (AD)once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, (AE)that he might bring us to God, being put to death (AF)in the flesh but made alive (AG)in the spirit, 19 in which[c] he went and (AH)proclaimed[d] to the spirits in prison, 20 because[e] they formerly did not obey, (AI)when God's patience waited in the days of Noah, (AJ)while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, (AK)eight persons, were brought safely through water. 21 Baptism, which corresponds to this, (AL)now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but (AM)as an appeal to God for a good conscience, (AN)through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, 22 who has gone into heaven and (AO)is at the right hand of God, (AP)with angels, authorities, and powers having been subjected to him.
