1 Corinthians 11
1 [Follow my example], just like I [try to] follow Christ’s example.
Weest mijn navolgers, zoals ik het ben van Christus!
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 prijs u, omdat gij bij allerlei zaken aan mij denkt, en vasthoudt aan de voorschriften, die ik u gegeven heb.
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.
Welnu, ik wil, dat gij wèl bedenkt: het hoofd van iederen man is Christus; het hoofd van de vrouw is de man; het hoofd van Christus is God.
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].
Iedere man, die bidt of profeteert met bedekt hoofd, doet zijn hoofd schande aan.
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.
Iedere vrouw daarentegen, die blootshoofds bidt of profeteert, doet haar hoofd schande aan; want dat is juist hetzelfde, als deed ze het met geschoren hoofd.
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].
Ja, zo een vrouw zich niet bedekken wil, dan moet ze zich ook maar de haren doen knippen; en zo het voor een vrouw een schande is, zich kaal te laten knippen of scheren, dan moet ze zich ook maar bedekken.
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.
De man moet zijn hoofd niet bedekken, daar hij het evenbeeld is en de glorie van God; maar de vrouw is de glorie van den man.
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.
Want de man is niet uit de vrouw, maar de vrouw is uit den man;
9 Also, [God] did not create [the first] man [to help] the woman. Instead, [he] created the woman [to help] the man.
en de man is niet geschapen om de vrouw, maar de vrouw om den man.
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].
En daarom moet de vrouw een macht over haar hoofd behouden ter wille der engelen.
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.
Toch blijft het waar: naar ‘s Heren plan is een vrouw er niet zonder man, maar ook is een man er niet zonder vrouw.
Want zoals de vrouw uit den man is ontstaan, zo ontstaat ook weer de man door de vrouw; en dit alles naar Gods beschikking.
13 Consider this for yourselves: Is it proper for [RHQ] women to pray to God while they do not have coverings over their heads?
Oordeelt nu zelf: Is het betamelijk, dat een vrouw bidt met onbedekt hoofd?
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]
Leert toch de natuur zelf u niet, dat het voor den man een schande is, lang haar te dragen;
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].
terwijl het voor de vrouw een eer is, wanneer ze lang haar draagt; want de haardos is haar gegeven bij wijze van sluier.
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.
En zo iemand nog andere bewijzen verlangt: wij hebben zulke gebruiken niet, en de gemeenten Gods evenmin.
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].
Bij de nu volgende vermaning kan ik u niet prijzen. Want gij komt niet samen tot uw heil, maar tot uw onheil.
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.
Vooreerst toch hoor ik, dat er bij uw bijeenkomsten in de kerk verdeeldheid onder u heerst; en gedeeltelijk geloof ik dit ook.
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!
Want het is nodig, dat er scheuringen onder u zijn, wil het blijken, wie onder u standvastig is.
20 When you gather together, you [IRO] eat the meal [that you say is to remember the death of] the Lord [Jesus for us].
Wanneer gij bijeen komt, dan is dat geen nuttigen van de Maaltijd des Heren.
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].
Want iedereen begint zijn eigen maal vooruit te eten; en zó is de een hongerig, de ander over-verzadigd.
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!
Hebt gij dan geen huizen, om te eten en te drinken? Of durft gij de kerk van God verachten, en hen die niets bezitten, vernederen? Wat zal ik u zeggen? Zal ik u prijzen? Op dit punt prijs ik u zeker niet.
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.
Want ik zelf heb van den Heer ontvangen, wat ik u ook heb overgeleverd; dat de Heer Jesus in de nacht, dat Hij verraden werd, brood nam,
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].”
een dankzegging sprak, het brak en zeide: "Dit is mijn Lichaam, dat voor u wordt overgeleverd. Doet dit tot mijn gedachtenis."
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].”
Zo ook na de maaltijd de kelk, zeggende: "Deze kelk is het nieuwe Verbond in mijn Bloed. Doet dit, zo dikwijls gij drinkt, tot mijn gedachtenis."
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].
Welnu, zo dikwijls gij dit brood eet en de kelk drinkt, verkondigt gij de dood des Heren, totdat Hij komt.
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].
Wie dus op onwaardige wijze het brood eet of de kelk des Heren drinkt, bezondigt zich aan het Lichaam en Bloed des Heren.
28 Before any believer eats that bread and drinks that wine [MTY], he should think carefully about [what he is doing],
Laat dus een ieder zichzelf onderzoeken, en dan eerst eten van het brood en drinken van de kelk.
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].
Want wie eet en drinkt, eet en drinkt zich een oordeel, zo hij het Lichaam niet naar waarde beoordeelt.
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].
Daarom zijn er onder u zoveel zwakken en zieken, en zijn er zovelen ontslapen.
31 If we would think carefully about what we [are doing], [God] would not judge [and punish] us [like that].
Zo we onszelf naar waarheid hadden beoordeeld, zouden we niet geoordeeld worden.
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].
Welnu, als we door den Heer worden gèoordeeld, dan is dat voor ons een les, om niet met de wereld vèroordeeld te worden.
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].
En daarom, mijn broeders, wanneer gij bijeenkomt om te eten, blijft dan op elkander wachten.
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].
Zo iemand honger heeft, dan moet hij thuis maar eten. Anders komt gij tot uw oordeel bijeen. De andere zaken zal ik wel regelen, wanneer ik kom.
