1 Corinthians 11
1 [Follow my example], just like I [try to] follow Christ’s example.
Kai ni Khrih e nuen ka out e patetlah nangmouh ni hai kaie nuen out van awh.
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.
Hmaunawnghanaw, bangpueng dawk kai na pouk awh teh, kai ni na cangkhai e naw na tarawi awh dawkvah na oup awh.
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.
Tongpa e lû teh Khrih doeh, napui e lû teh tongpa doeh, Khrih e lû teh Cathut doeh tie na panue hane na ngaikhai awh.
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 ni lû huem laihoi ratoum boi, profet lawk dei boipawiteh amae lû ka bari hoeh e lah ao.
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.
Napuinaw ni lû huem laipalah ratoum boi, profet lawk dei boipawiteh amae lû ka bari hoeh e lah ao.
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].
Hatdawkvah napui ni a lû huem hoehpawiteh a sam ngaw naseh. Sam ngaw e kayak pawiteh, a lû huem naseh.
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 teh Cathut e mei, Cathut e bawilennae lah ao dawkvah a lû huem nahanh seh. Napui teh tongpa bawilennae doeh.
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 teh, napui dawk hoi ka tâcawt e nahoeh. Napui doeh tongpa dawk hoi ka tâcawt.
9 Also, [God] did not create [the first] man [to help] the woman. Instead, [he] created the woman [to help] the man.
Tongpa teh napui hanlah sak e nahoeh, napui teh tongpa hanlah sak e doeh.
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].
Hatdawkvah, kalvantaminaw khet lahoi napui ni kâtawnnae mitnoutnae lah a lû huem naseh.
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.
Hateiteh, Bawipa dawk tongpa laipalah napui awmhoeh, Napui laipalah tongpa kaawm e na hoeh.
Napui teh, tongpa dawk hoi a kangcoung e patetlah tongpa hai napui dawk hoi a kangcoung van. Bangpueng hai Cathut dawk hoi doeh a kangcoung awh.
13 Consider this for yourselves: Is it proper for [RHQ] women to pray to God while they do not have coverings over their heads?
Napui ni lû huem laipalah Cathut koe a ratoum e a kamcu hoi kamcu hoeh e hah namamouh ni pouk a haw.
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]
Talai khosaknae dawkvah tongpa ni sam pâhlung pawiteh amahoima kâbari hoeh e doeh.
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].
Napui ni sam pâhlung pawiteh, ama a bawilennae lah ao, napui e a sam teh a kâhuemnae lah ao.
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.
Hatei, buetbuet touh ni na oun pawiteh, maimouh dawk hai, Cathut e kawhmounnaw dawk hai hot patetlah e phung awmhoeh.
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].
Na kamkhueng awh navah, hawinae koe hlak, thoenae koe lah a paphnawn dawkvah kai ni na oup awh hoeh.
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.
A pasuek lah, kawhmoun thung na kamkhueng awh navah buet touh hoi buet touh na kâkapek awh tie ka thai.
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!
Ka thai e patetlah atang han doeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, tami kahawinaw a kamnue nahanlah kâkapeknae ao han.
20 When you gather together, you [IRO] eat the meal [that you say is to remember the death of] the Lord [Jesus for us].
Rei na kamkhueng awh navah Bawipa e pawi hmawng hanlah na kamkhueng a hoeh.
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].
Na canei awh nah na kâring awh laipalah, na canei awh, tami tangawn a vonhlam, tami tangawn teh khak na ca awh.
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!
Na canei nahan im na tawn awh hoeh na maw. Cathut e kawhmoun na dudam awh teh, karoedengnaw na kaya sak awh. Bangtelane bout dei han. Hete dawk kai ni na oup a han namaw. Na oup a mahoeh.
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.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Bawipa koehoi ka coe e doeh na dei pouh awh. A pahnawt awh hnin tangmin vah Bawipa Jisuh ni, vaiyei a la teh,
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].”
lunghawi lawk a dei hnukkhu, vaiyei a raen teh, hete vaiyei teh, nangmouh han ka raen e ka tak doeh, lat a nateh cat awh. Kai na pahnim awh hoeh nahanlah hettelah sak awh atipouh.
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].”
Hot patetvanlah, tangmin bu a ca awh hnukkhu manang bout a la teh, hete manang teh ka thi hoi ka caksak e lawkkam katha doeh. Hete manang na nei awh nah kai na pahnim hoeh nahan net haw atipouh.
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].
Hatdawkvah, vaiyei na ca awh teh manang na nei awh na tangkuem vah, Bawipa e a duenae hah bout a tho hnin totouh na pathangnae doeh.
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].
Bawipa e vaiyei hoi manang kamcu hoeh lah ka catnet e teh, Bawipa e a tak, a thi hah kayonkhai e lah ao.
28 Before any believer eats that bread and drinks that wine [MTY], he should think carefully about [what he is doing],
Hatdawkvah, mahoima akung kâkhei hnukkhu vaiyei cat naseh, hot patetvanlah manang hai net naseh.
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].
Bangkongtetpawiteh, kamcu hoeh lah ka catnet e teh Bawipa e a tak kapekkaboe thai hoeh dawkvah a lathueng lawkcengnae hoi hmai a canei e lah ao.
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].
Hat kecu dawk nan ou, a tha kayoun, kapatawnaw moi na o awh. Kadout e naw hai moi na o awh.
31 If we would think carefully about what we [are doing], [God] would not judge [and punish] us [like that].
Hmaloe mahoima akung ka khei pawiteh, lawkcengnae dawk hoi hlout awh han.
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].
Lawkcengnae kâhmo awh navah, talaivan hoi yonphukhangnae koehoi hlout thai awh nahan Bawipa koe hoi e yuenae kâhmo awh.
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].
Hatdawkvah, hmaunawnghanaw, canei hanelah na kamkhueng awh navah kâring awh.
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].
Na kamkhueng awh navah, buetbuet touh teh a von la hlam pawiteh, yon lawkceng e lah na o awh hoeh nahanelah, ahni teh ama im cat naseh. Aloukenaw teh ka tho torei bout ka dei han toe.
