1 Corinthians 11
1 [Follow my example], just like I [try to] follow Christ’s example.
Luwuru timna, mana kaka an bende aluwo tim Kristo.
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.
Agoyonu erokamano nikech usiko upara e yore duto, kendo nikech umako puonj duto mane amiyou.
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.
To adwaro mondo ungʼe ni Kristo ewi dichwo ka dichwo, kendo ni dichwo ewi dhako, to Nyasaye ewi Kristo.
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].
Kuom mano, dichwo malemo kata makoro e chokruok koumo wiye ochayo Kristo.
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.
Kamano bende dhako malemo kata makoro e chokruok, ka ok otweyo kitamba okuodo wi chwore, nikech onge pogruok e kinde gi dhako moliel yie wiye.
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].
Ka dhako ok dwar tweyo kitamba, to ber kata mondo oliel yie wiye. To kaka en wichkuot ka dhako olielo yie wiye mapoth, to ber otwe kitamba.
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.
Dichwo to ok owinjore oum wiye nikech en ranyisi mar Nyasaye gi duongʼne; dhako to en ranyisi mar duongʼ mar dichwo.
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.
Dichwo ne ok oa kuom dhako, to dhako ema ne oa kuom dichwo.
9 Also, [God] did not create [the first] man [to help] the woman. Instead, [he] created the woman [to help] the man.
To bende, dichwo ne ok ochwe ne dhako, to dhako ema ne ochwe ni dichwo.
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].
Nikech wachni kendo nikech malaike, dhako mondo oum wiye kaka ranyisi ni en e bwo loch.
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.
Kata kamano, kuom Ruoth, dhako ok nyal dak maonge dichwo mana kaka dichwo bende ok nyal dak maonge dhako.
Nimar, mana kaka dhako nochwe koa kuom dichwo, e kaka dichwo bende inywolo gi dhako, to gik moko duto oa kuom Nyasaye.
13 Consider this for yourselves: Is it proper for [RHQ] women to pray to God while they do not have coverings over their heads?
Penjreuru un uwegi ni: Bende en gima kare mondo dhako olam Nyasaye ka ok otweyo kitamba e wiye?
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]
Donge en gima ongʼere ne ji duto ni wich maboyo en wichkuot ni dichwo?
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].
To ka dhako yie wiye boyo, to en duongʼ mare, nikech yie wich maboyo omiye kaka raum.
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.
Ka ngʼato kuomu dwaro kwedo ma, to ongʼe ni waonge gi tim mopogore gi mwapuonjoni, kendo kata kanise duto mag Nyasaye ongego.
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].
Puonj makoro amiyou sani to ok anyal pakoue, nikech kinde duto ma uchokoru kaachiel to chokruoku kelo mana rach kar kelo ber.
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.
Mokwongo awinjo ni ka uchokoru kaachiel kaka kanisa, to nitie pogruok e kindu, kendo anyalo yie ni wachno en adier.
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!
Mano emomiyo nitiere pogruok e kindu mondo joma Nyasaye oyiego ongʼere maler.
20 When you gather together, you [IRO] eat the meal [that you say is to remember the death of] the Lord [Jesus for us].
Ka uchokoru kanyakla, to nenore ni ok ucham Sap Ruoth;
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].
nikech ka uchiemo to ngʼato ka ngʼato rikni gichamo chiembe owuon, ma ok orito jowetene; omiyo jomoko kuomu denyo, to jomoko kuomu to mer.
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!
Donge un gi miechu munyalo chiemoe kendo methoe? Koso uchayo kanisa Nyasaye, momiyo ukuodo wi joma ochando? Angʼo ma dawachnu? Uparo ni dapaku kuom wachni? Ok kamano ngangʼ!
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.
Puonj mane ayudo kuom Ruoth mi amiyou chal kama: Ruoth Yesu nokawo makati e otienono mane ondhogee,
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].”
kendo bangʼ kosegoyo erokamano nongʼingo, kowacho niya, “Ma en ringra mochiw nikech un, timuru ma ka uparago.”
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].”
Kamano bende bangʼ chiemo nokawo kikombe, mi owacho niya, “Kikombeni en singruok manyien motim gi remba; timuru ma, kinde duto mumadhee, mondo uparago.”
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].
Nikech ka usiko uchamo makatini kendo umadho kikombeni, to unyiso tho mar Ruoth nyaka chop oduogi.
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].
Emomiyo ngʼama ochamo makatini kata ometho e kikombeni e yo ma ok owinjore, bura biro loyo kodoko jaketho kuom ringre Ruoth gi rembe.
28 Before any believer eats that bread and drinks that wine [MTY], he should think carefully about [what he is doing],
Ngʼato ka ngʼato nyaka nonre mokwongo, kapok ochamo makati kata ometho e kikombe.
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].
Nikech ngʼato angʼata mochiemo kendo ometho, ma ok odewo ni gin ringre Ruoth, kelo bura kuome owuon.
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].
Mano emomiyo ji mathoth kuomu ool kendo tuo; kendo moko kuomu osetho.
31 If we would think carefully about what we [are doing], [God] would not judge [and punish] us [like that].
To ka dine wanonre wawegi mokwongo, to bura ok doloyowa.
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].
To ka Ruoth ngʼadonwa bura to orieyowa mondo kik bura lowa kaachiel gi jopinyni.
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].
Kuom mano, jowetena, ka uchokoru kaachiel mondo uchiem, to ngʼato ka ngʼato mondo orit nyawadgi.
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].
To ka ngʼato odenyo, to ber mondo ochiem dala, mondo kik chokruok ma ubedogo kelnu kum. Weche modongʼ anawachnu ka abiro.
