1 Corinthians 11
1 [Follow my example], just like I [try to] follow Christ’s example.
Kai ing Khrih ka toek amyihna nangmih ing kai ve ni toek lawt lah 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.
Ik-oeih soepkep awh kai ni sim unawh, ka cawngpyinaak namim tu loet adawngawh ni ym khqi nyng.
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.
Cehlai pakhqi boeih a lu taw Khrih na awm hy, nu a lu taw pa na awm nawh, Khrih a lu taw Khawsa na awm hy tice sim sak ahamni ngaih khqi nyng.
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].
Pa ing a lu a sing doena cykcah nawh awi ak kqawn awhtaw amah a lu chah ak phyih ak pe ni.
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.
Cehlai nu ing a lu a sing kaana cykcah nawh awi ak kqawn awhtaw amah a lu chah ak pena awm nawh; lusam a voh ing myih hy.
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].
Nu ing a lu ama sing awhtaw a lusam ce voh seh; Cehlai lu voh ce chahqai na ak poek awhtaw a lu ce sing seh nyng.
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.
Pa taw Khawsa myi sam ingkaw a boeimangnaak na a awm adawngawh a lu a sing hly qoe am ni; nu taw pa a kyihcahnaak 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.
Ikawtih nu awhkawng pa ve am law hy, cehlai nu taw pa awhkawng ak law ni;
9 Also, [God] did not create [the first] man [to help] the woman. Instead, [he] created the woman [to help] the man.
nu aham pa ve saina am awm nawh, nu ce pa aham saina ak awm ni.
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].
Ve akawng ingkaw khan ceityihkhqi akawng awh ve, nu ing a lu ak khanawh saithainaak hatnaak a taak aham awm hy.
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.
Cehlai Bawipa awh nu ve pa kana am awm thai nawh, pa awm nu kana am awm thai lawt hy.
Ikawtih nu ce pa awhkawng law nawh, pa awm nu awhkawng thang lawt hy. Cehlai ik-oeih boeih ve Khawsa awhkawng ak cawn boeih ni.
13 Consider this for yourselves: Is it proper for [RHQ] women to pray to God while they do not have coverings over their heads?
Na mimah ing poek lah uh: Nu ing lu sing kana Khawsa venawh ak cykcah ce ak nep nu?
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]
Khawmdek khawsaknaak qoe awh mah pa ing a lusam ak sai na am hlyn mantaw chahqai na awm nawh,
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].
nu ing a lusam ak sai soeih na a taak awhtaw a daawnaak na awm hy; a lusam taw a dah qunaak na a pek ni.
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.
Cehlai ak oelh a awm awh awm ningnih venawh khawsak am ta unyng, Khawsa a thlangboelkhqi ingawm am ta uhy.
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].
Cehlai ve ak awi ka nik kqawn peek khqi caming am nim kyihcah khqi thai nyng, nami leeknaak hly kawina am nawh, nami seetnaak hly khqoet kawina naming cun adawngawh.
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.
Lammacykawh kang zaak taw, thlangboel kutoet na cun aham nami law awh, naming lakawh phek bonaak ce awm hy tinawh za nyng, cang awm cangna nyng.
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!
Naming lakawh a tak ang dangnaak thai ham, naming lakawh ap cangsuinaak awm ak awm hly qoe ni.
20 When you gather together, you [IRO] eat the meal [that you say is to remember the death of] the Lord [Jesus for us].
Naming cun awh Bawipa mybuh ak ai na am kawih uhyk ti,
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].
thlang boeih ing nami mybuh ce lammaa na ai hoeih hoeih uhyk ti; cawh ce thlang pynoet ak phoen cawi nawh, thlang pynoet ing qui hy.
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!
Ikawmyihna, nami awk ainaak aham im am nami ta nawh nu? Khawsa a thlangboel aw nami thekha naak, am awhtaw amak takhqi nami the kha naak awh nu? Ve a dawngawh ka nim kyih hlyk khqi nawh nu? Amnim kyih hlyk khqi qoe nyng!
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.
Ikawtih Bawipa venawh kawng ka huh veni ka nik kqawn law peek khqi petoe hy: Bawipa Jesu ing, a mim tu hly am than awh, phaihpi lo nawh,
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].”
zeelawi ak kqawn coengawh, thek nawh, “Ve ve nangmih aham ka peek ka sa ni; kai nami ni simnaak poe aham sai law uh,” tinak khqi hy.
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].”
Cemyih koep na, phaihpi ami ai coengawh boet ce lo bai nawh, “Ve ak boet taw ka thi awhkaw awikam thai ni; nami ni simnaak poe aham ve ve sai law uh,” tinak khqi hy.
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].
Ikawtih vawhkaw phaihpi ai unawh boet nami awk a hoei awh, a law tlaih hlan dy awh Bawipa a thihnaak ce namik khypyi na awm hy.
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].
Cedawngawh, u awm Bawipa a phaihpi ingkaw boet ce kawna a sui kaana ai nawh ak aw taw Bawipa a pum ingkaw thi awh thawlhnaak ak sai ak thlang na awm hy.
28 Before any believer eats that bread and drinks that wine [MTY], he should think carefully about [what he is doing],
U ingawm phaihpi ingkaw boet ce a awk a ai hlanawh ak nep cana poek qu seh.
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].
U ingawm Bawipa a pum ak leekna ak poek qu kaana a awk a ai awhtaw ak khanawh awidengnaak ce pha kaw.
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].
Cawh ni naming lakawh tlo unawh ami mu hy, thlang vang ingtaw thi uhy ce.
31 If we would think carefully about what we [are doing], [God] would not judge [and punish] us [like that].
Nimah ingkaw nimah lamma na nik poek qu hqeet awhtaw awidengnaak amni hu kaw.
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].
Bawipa ing awi a ni deng khqi awh khawmdek ingqawi thawlh sak haihna am ni awm naak a hamna Bawipa a toelna ni awm uhy.
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].
Cedawngawh Koeinaakhqi, awk a ai aham nami law awh, qeh qu cang uh.
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].
U awm ak phoen a cawih awhtaw, pynoet na naming cun awh awidengnaak ama huhnaak aham, im awh a ai aham awm hy. Kai ka law awh awi nik kqawn law pek khqi tlaih bit kawng nyng.
