1 Corinthians 11
1 [Follow my example], just like I [try to] follow Christ’s example.
Khrih kah mueiloh neh ka om bangla kai kah mueiloh la om uh.
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.
Tahae ah nangmih loh a cungkuem la kai nan poek uh dongah kan koeh. Nangmih taengah kan tloeng vanbangla singyoe te na tuuk uh.
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.
Tedae tongpa boeih kah a lu tah Khrih ni tila nangmih te ming sak ham ka ngaih. Tongpa tah huta kah a lu la om. Pathen tah Khrih kah a lu la om.
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].
Tongpa boeih loh thangthui vaengah khaw, olphong vaengah khaw a lu a khuk atah a lu te yah a poh sak.
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.
Tedae huta boeih loh a lu te sampham la thangthui tih, a phong vaengah a lu te yah a poh sak. Pakhat long khaw te tlam te a om vaengah tah amah te samvo la om coeng.
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].
Te dongah huta loh sam a khoem pawt atah rhuep saeh. Tedae a rhuep khaw a vok khaw huta ham a rhaidaeng oeh atah khoem saeh.
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.
Tongpa ngawn tah Pathen kah mueimae neh thangpomnah la a om dongah lu a muek ham a kuek moenih. Tedae huta tah tongpa kah thangpomnah ni.
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.
Tongpa tah huta lamloh om pawt tih huta ni tongpa lamloh aka om.
9 Also, [God] did not create [the first] man [to help] the woman. Instead, [he] created the woman [to help] the man.
Tongpa tah huta kongah khaw suen pawt tih tongpa kongah huta a suen.
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].
Te dongah puencawn rhoek rhangneh huta loh lu soah saithainah a khueh ham a kuek.
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.
Tedae Boeipa dongah tongpa mueh la huta om thai pawt tih huta mueh la tongpa om thai pawh.
Huta tah tongpa lamkah a om vanbangla tongpa tah huta lamloh om van bal. Tedae a cungkuem tah Pathen taeng lamkah ni a om.
13 Consider this for yourselves: Is it proper for [RHQ] women to pray to God while they do not have coverings over their heads?
Nangmih khuiah anih te laitloek uh lah. Huta loh Pathen taengah sampham la a thangthui ham te rhoep nim?
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]
Tongpa loh a hlun atah amah ham rhaidaeng la om. Te a coengnah loh nangmih n'thuituen mahnim?
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].
Tedae huta loh a hlun atah amah ham thangpomnah la om. Samtoel te anih ham himbai la a paek.
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.
Tedae khat khat loh olpungkacan la om tila a poek atah kaimih loh tebang khosing ka khueh uh moenih. Pathen kah hlangboel rhoek long khaw a khueh uh moenih.
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].
He he kang uen vaengah kang koeh pawt khaw a then ham pawt tih a thae ham na khoong uh dongah ni.
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.
Lamhma ah ngawn tah hlangboel la na tingtun uh. Tedae nangmih taengah paekboenah om tila ka yaak tih cungvang ah ka tangnah.
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!
Te dongah nangmih ah buhlaelh khaw a om ham a kuek. Te daengah ni nangmih khuikah ueppang hlang te khaw mingpha la a om eh.
20 When you gather together, you [IRO] eat the meal [that you say is to remember the death of] the Lord [Jesus for us].
Hmuen pakhat la na khoong uh tangloeng dae Boeipa hlaembuh na caak uh moenih a?
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].
Hlaembuh a caak uh vaengah amah amah loh rhip a sawn uh. Te vaengah pakhat tah pong tih pakhat tah rhui.
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!
Te dongah caak ham neh ok ham te im na khueh uh pawt moenih a? Pathen kah hlangboel khaw na poeih uh. Aka khueh mueh rhoek te khaw yah na poh sak uh. Nangmih ham balae ka thui lah eh. Hekah dongah nangmih te kan koeh venim. Kan koeh pawt venim.
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.
Kai tah Boeipa taengkah ka dang te ni nangmih kan doe van. Boeipa Jesuh loh a voeih hlaem ah vaidam a loh tih,
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].”
a uem phoeiah a aeh tih, “Ka pum he tah nangmih ham ni. Kai poekkoepnah ham hekah he saii uh,” a ti.
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].”
Te vanbangla a vael uh phoeiah boengloeng te khaw a loh tih, “Hekah boengloeng tah ka thii dongkah paipi thai ni. Na ok uh takuem ah kai poekkoepnah ham hekah he saii uh,” a ti.
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].
He vaidam he na caak uh tih boengloeng na ok uh takuem atah Boeipa kah dueknah te amah ha pawk duela doek uh.
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].
Te dongah pahoeh palaeh la vaidam aka ca tih Boeipa boengloeng aka o te tah Boeipa kah a pum neh a thii te yook kuekluek saeh.
28 Before any believer eats that bread and drinks that wine [MTY], he should think carefully about [what he is doing],
Tedae hlang loh amah te a nuemnai phoeiah vaidam khaw ca saeh lamtah boengloeng khaw o saeh.
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].
Aka ca tih aka o loh a pum te a boelhkhoeh muehla a caak a ok vaengah amah taengah lai la om.
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].
He kongah nangmih khuikah a yet loh na tattloel uh tih a ngen tah na tlo uh tih na ip uh.
31 If we would think carefully about what we [are doing], [God] would not judge [and punish] us [like that].
Te dongah amah la m'boelhkhoeh uh atah laitloek uh boel mai sih.
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].
Tedae Boeipa lamkah a laitloek loh n'ueih sak uh daengah ni diklai taengah m'boe pawt eh.
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].
Te dongah ka manuca rhoek, caak ham na khoong uh vaengah khat neh khat rhing uh thae.
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].
Pakhat loh a pong atah a im ah han ca saeh. Te daengah ni laitloek la na khoong uh pawt eh. A tloe te ka pawk vaengah khaw kang uen uh bitni.
