1 Corinthians 11
1 [Follow my example], just like I [try to] follow Christ’s example.
| ܐܬܕܡܘ ܒܝ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܦ ܐܢܐ ܒܡܫܝܚܐ |
2 I praise you because you remember all the things [that I taught you] and because you follow the instructions that I gave you. You have done just like I told you to do.
| ܡܫܒܚ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܚܝ ܕܒܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܡܥܗܕ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܝ ܘܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܫܠܡܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܐܚܝܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ |
3 [Now], I want you to know that the one who has authority over [MTY] every man is Christ, and the ones who have authority over women are men (OR, their husbands), and the one who has authority over Christ is God.
| ܨܒܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܬܕܥܘܢ ܕܟܠ ܓܒܪ ܪܫܗ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܗܘ ܘܪܫܗ ܕܐܢܬܬܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܗܘ ܘܪܫܗ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܗܘ |
4 [So] if any man [wears a covering over] his head when he prays or speaks a message God gave him, he disgraces himself [SYN].
| ܟܠ ܓܒܪܐ ܕܡܨܠܐ ܐܘ ܡܬܢܒܐ ܟܕ ܡܟܤܝ ܪܫܗ ܡܒܗܬ ܪܫܗ |
5 Also, if any woman does not wear a covering over her head when she prays or speaks a message that God gave her, she disgraces herself (OR, she dishonors her husband). That would be acting like [SIM] [women who are ashamed because] their heads have been shaved.
| ܘܟܠ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܕܡܨܠܝܐ ܐܘ ܡܬܢܒܝܐ ܟܕ ܓܠܐ ܪܫܗ ܡܒܗܬܐ ܪܫܗ ܫܘܝܐ ܗܝ ܓܝܪ ܥܡ ܗܝ ܕܓܪܝܥ ܪܫܗ |
6 So, if women do not wear coverings over their heads [when they pray or speak messages that God gave them], they should let someone shave their heads [so that they will be ashamed]. But since women are ashamed if someone cuts their hair [short] or shaves off their hair, they should wear coverings over their heads [when they pray or speak messages that God gave them].
| ܐܢ ܓܝܪ ܠܐ ܡܬܟܤܝܐ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܐܦ ܬܤܬܦܪ ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܫܟܪ ܗܘ ܠܐܢܬܬܐ ܠܡܤܬܦܪܘ ܐܘ ܠܡܓܪܥ ܬܬܟܤܐ |
7 Men should not wear coverings over their heads [when they pray or speak messages that God gave them], because they represent what God is like [MET] and they show how great God is. But women show how great men (OR, their husbands) are.
| ܓܒܪܐ ܓܝܪ ܠܐ ܚܝܒ ܕܢܟܤܐ ܪܫܗ ܡܛܠ ܕܕܡܘܬܐ ܗܘ ܘܬܫܒܘܚܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܬܫܒܘܚܬܐ ܗܝ ܕܓܒܪܐ |
8 [Remember that God intends that men have authority over women. We know that] because [God] did not make [the first] man, [Adam], from the [first] woman, [Eve]. Instead, he made that woman [from a bone that he took] from the man.
| ܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܓܒܪܐ ܡܢ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܡܢ ܓܒܪܐ |
9 Also, [God] did not create [the first] man [to help] the woman. Instead, [he] created the woman [to help] the man.
| ܘܐܦܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܓܒܪܐ ܐܬܒܪܝ ܡܛܠ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܡܛܠ ܓܒܪܐ |
10 For that reason, women should wear something [to cover] their heads [as a symbol of their being under their husbands’] [MTY] authority. They should also [cover their heads] so that the angels [will see that and rejoice].
| ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܚܝܒܐ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܕܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܥܠ ܪܫܗ ܡܛܠ ܡܠܐܟܐ |
11 However, remember that [even though God created the first] woman from [the first] man, all other men [have been born] from women. So men cannot be independent of women, nor can women be independent of men. But all things, [including men and women], come from God.
| ܒܪܡ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܠܒܪ ܡܢ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܐܦܠܐ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܠܒܪ ܡܢ ܓܒܪܐ ܒܡܪܢ |
| ܐܝܟܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܢܬܬܐ ܡܢ ܓܒܪܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܓܒܪܐ ܒܝܕ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܟܠܡܕܡ ܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܗܘ |
13 Consider this for yourselves: Is it proper for [RHQ] women to pray to God while they do not have coverings over their heads?
| ܕܘܢܘ ܒܝܢܝܟܘܢ ܠܢܦܫܟܘܢ ܝܐܐ ܠܐܢܬܬܐ ܕܟܕ ܓܠܐ ܪܫܗ ܬܨܠܐ ܠܐܠܗܐ |
14 (Everyone senses that it is disgraceful for men to have long hair./Doesn’t everyone sense that it is disgraceful for men to have long hair?) [RHQ]
| ܐܦܠܐ ܗܘ ܟܝܢܐ ܡܠܦ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܓܒܪܐ ܡܐ ܕܩܐܡ ܤܥܪܗ ܨܥܪܐ ܗܘ ܠܗ |
15 But it is very delightful if women have long hair, because [God] gave them long hair to be like a [beautiful] covering [for their heads].
| ܘܐܢܬܬܐ ܡܐ ܕܡܪܒܝ ܤܥܪܗ ܬܫܒܘܚܬܐ ܗܝ ܠܗ ܡܛܠ ܕܤܥܪܗ ܚܠܦ ܬܟܤܝܬܐ ܗܘ ܐܬܝܗܒ ܠܗ |
16 But whoever wants to argue [with me about my saying that women should have a covering over their heads when they pray or speak a message from God should consider the fact that] we [apostles] do not [permit] any other custom, and the [other] congregations of God do not have any other custom.
| ܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܕܝܢ ܡܬܚܪܐ ܥܠ ܗܠܝܢ ܠܢ ܠܝܬ ܥܝܕܐ ܐܝܟ ܗܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܠܥܕܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ |
17 Now I want to tell you [about some other things]. I do not praise you about them, because whenever you believers meet together, good [things do not happen]. Instead, bad things [happen].
| ܗܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܡܦܩܕ ܐܢܐ ܠܐ ܐܝܟ ܡܫܒܚ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܩܕܡܝܟܘܢ ܐܬܝܬܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܠܒܨܝܪܘܬܐ ܗܘ ܢܚܬܬܘܢ |
18 First of all, people have told me that when you gather together as a group [to worship God], you divide into groups [that are hostile to each other]. To some extent I believe that is true.
| ܠܘܩܕܡ ܓܝܪ ܡܐ ܕܡܬܟܢܫܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܥܕܬܐ ܦܠܓܘܬܐ ܫܡܥ ܐܢܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܒܝܢܬܟܘܢ ܘܡܕܡ ܡܕܡ ܡܗܝܡܢ ܐܢܐ |
19 It seems that you must divide into [groups that despise each other] in order that it might be clear/evident which people among you [God] approves of!
| ܥܬܝܕܝܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܐܦ ܚܪܝܢܐ ܕܢܗܘܘܢ ܒܝܢܬܟܘܢ ܕܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܒܩܝܢ ܒܟܘܢ ܢܬܝܕܥܘܢ |
20 When you gather together, you [IRO] eat the meal [that you say is to remember the death of] the Lord [Jesus for us].
| ܡܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܕܡܬܟܢܫܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܘ ܐܝܟ ܕܙܕܩ ܠܝܘܡܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܐܟܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܫܬܝܢ |
21 But [what happens when] you eat is that each person eats his own meal before [he thinks about sharing his food with anyone else]. As a result, [when the meal is over], some people are [still] hungry and others are drunk! [So it is not a meal that honors the Lord].
| ܐܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܐܢܫ ܚܫܡܝܬܗ ܩܕܡ ܐܟܠ ܠܗ ܘܗܘܐ ܚܕ ܟܦܢ ܘܚܕ ܪܘܐ |
22 ([You act as though] you do not have your own houses in which you can eat and drink [whatever you want to]!/Do you not have your own houses in which you can eat and drink [whatever you want to]?) [RHQ] Do you not realize [RHQ] [that by acting selfishly in this way], it is God’s people whom you are despising, and it is the poor people [in your group] whom you are treating as though they were not important? What shall I say to you about that [RHQ]? Do [you expect] me to praise you [about what you do] [RHQ]? I certainly will not praise you!
| ܕܠܡܐ ܒܬܐ ܠܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܬܐܟܠܘܢ ܘܬܫܬܘܢ ܐܘ ܒܥܕܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܒܤܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܡܒܗܬܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܫܒܚܟܘܢ ܒܗܕܐ ܠܐ ܡܫܒܚ ܐܢܐ |
23 The Lord taught me these things that I also taught you: During the night that Jesus was betrayed {[Judas] enabled [the enemies of] the Lord Jesus to seize him}, he took some bread.
| ܐܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܩܒܠܬ ܡܢ ܡܪܢ ܗܘ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܫܠܡܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܗܘ ܠܠܝܐ ܕܡܫܬܠܡ ܗܘܐ ܢܤܒ ܗܘܐ ܠܚܡܐ |
24 After he thanked God for it, he broke it into pieces. [Then he gave it to his disciples] and said, “This bread [represents] [MET] (OR, is) my body, that [I am about to sacrifice] for you. Eat bread in this [way again and again] to remember my [offering myself as a sacrifice for you].”
| ܘܒܪܟ ܘܩܨܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܤܒܘ ܐܟܘܠܘ ܗܢܘ ܦܓܪܝ ܕܥܠ ܐܦܝܟܘܢ ܡܬܩܨܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܠܕܘܟܪܢܝ |
25 Similarly, after they ate their meal, he took a cup [MTY] [of wine]. He [thanked God for it. Then he gave it to his disciples], saying, “[The wine in] [MTY] this cup [represents] [MET] (OR, is) my blood [that will flow from my body] ([to put into effect/to establish]) the new agreement [that God is making with people]. Whenever you drink wine in this way, do it to remember that [my blood flowed for you].”
| ܗܟܢܐ ܡܢ ܒܬܪ ܕܐܚܫܡܘ ܐܦ ܟܤܐ ܝܗܒ ܘܐܡܪ ܗܢܐ ܟܤܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܕܝܬܩܐ ܚܕܬܐ ܒܕܡܝ ܗܟܢܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܟܠ ܐܡܬܝ ܕܫܬܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܕܘܟܪܢܝ |
26 [Remember that] until the Lord [Jesus] returns [to the earth], whenever you eat the [bread that represents his body] and drink the wine [MTY] [that represents his blood], you are telling other people that he died [for you].
| ܟܠ ܐܡܬܝ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܟܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܚܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܘܫܬܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܟܤܐ ܗܢܐ ܡܘܬܗ ܗܘ ܕܡܪܢ ܡܥܗܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܡܐܬܝܬܗ |
27 So, those who eat that bread and drink that wine [MTY] in a way that is not proper [for those who belong to the Lord] are guilty of [acting in a way that is contrary to what] our [Lord intended when he offered] his body [as a sacrifice] and his blood [flowed when he died].
| ܐܝܢܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܕܐܟܠ ܡܢ ܠܚܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܘܫܬܐ ܡܢ ܟܤܗ ܘܠܐ ܫܘܐ ܠܗ ܡܚܝܒ ܗܘ ܠܕܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܘܠܦܓܪܗ |
28 Before any believer eats that bread and drinks that wine [MTY], he should think carefully about [what he is doing],
| ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܐܢܫ ܒܩܐ ܢܦܫܗ ܘܗܝܕܝܢ ܐܟܠ ܡܢ ܠܚܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܘܫܬܐ ܡܢ ܟܤܐ ܗܢܐ |
29 because if anyone eats [the bread that represents Christ’s body] and drinks [the wine that represents his blood] without recognizing that all God’s [people should be united, God will] punish him [for doing that].
| ܡܢ ܕܐܟܠ ܓܝܪ ܘܫܬܐ ܡܢܗ ܟܕ ܠܐ ܫܘܐ ܚܘܝܒܐ ܗܘ ܠܢܦܫܗ ܐܟܠ ܘܫܬܐ ܕܠܐ ܦܪܫ ܦܓܪܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ |
30 Many people in your group are weak and sick, and several have died [EUP] because of [the way they acted when they ate that bread and drank that wine].
| ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܤܓܝܐܝܢ ܒܟܘܢ ܡܪܥܐ ܘܟܪܝܗܐ ܘܤܓܝܐܐ ܕܕܡܟܝܢ |
31 If we would think carefully about what we [are doing], [God] would not judge [and punish] us [like that].
| ܐܠܘ ܓܝܪ ܢܦܫܢ ܕܝܢܝܢ ܗܘܝܢ ܠܐ ܡܬܕܝܢܝܢ ܗܘܝܢ |
32 But when the Lord judges [and punishes] us [for acting wrongly], he disciplines us [to correct us], in order that he will not [need to] punish us when he punishes [the people who do not trust in Christ] [MTY].
| ܟܕ ܡܬܕܝܢܝܢܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܡܪܢ ܡܬܪܕܝܘ ܡܬܪܕܝܢܢ ܕܠܐ ܥܡ ܥܠܡܐ ܢܬܚܝܒ |
33 So, my fellow believers, when you gather together to eat [food to remember the Lord’s dying for you], wait until everyone [has arrived so that you can find out who does not have enough food].
| ܡܟܝܠ ܐܚܝ ܐܡܬܝ ܕܡܬܟܢܫܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܡܐܟܠ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܩܘܝܢ ܚܕ ܠܚܕ |
34 Those who are so hungry [that they cannot wait to eat until everyone else has arrived] should eat in their own homes [first], in order that when you gather together God will not judge [and punish them for] ([being inconsiderate of/not being concerned about]) [others]. And when I come [to Corinth] I will give you instructions about other matters [concerning the Lord’s Supper].
| ܡܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܟܦܢ ܒܒܝܬܗ ܢܠܥܤ ܕܠܐ ܠܚܝܒܘܬܐ ܬܗܘܘܢ ܡܬܟܢܫܝܢ ܥܠ ܫܪܟܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܐ ܕܐܬܝܬ ܐܦܩܕܟܘܢ |
