1 Corinthians 11
1 [Follow my example], just like I [try to] follow Christ’s example.
Weest mijn navolgers, gelijkerwijs ook ik 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.
En ik prijs u, broeders, dat gij in alles mijner gedachtig zijt, en de inzettingen behoudt, gelijk ik die u overgegeven 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.
Doch ik wil, dat gij weet, dat Christus het Hoofd is eens iegelijken mans, en de man het hoofd der vrouw, en God het Hoofd van Christus.
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].
Een iegelijk man, die bidt of profeteert, hebbende iets op het hoofd, die onteert zijn eigen hoofd;
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.
Maar een iegelijke vrouw, die bidt of profeteert met ongedekten hoofde, onteert haar eigen hoofd; want het is een en hetzelfde, alsof haar het haar afgesneden ware.
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].
Want indien een vrouw niet gedekt is, dat zij ook geschoren worde; maar indien het lelijk is voor een vrouw geschoren te zijn, of het haar afgesneden te hebben, dat zij zich dekke.
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.
Want de man moet het hoofd niet dekken, overmits hij het beeld en de heerlijkheid Gods is; maar de vrouw is de heerlijkheid des mans.
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 uit de vrouw niet, 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.
Want ook is de man 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].
Daarom moet de vrouw een macht op het hoofd hebben, om der engelen wil.
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.
Nochtans is noch de man zonder de vrouw, noch de vrouw zonder den man, in den Heere.
Want gelijkerwijs de vrouw uit den man is, alzo is ook de man door de vrouw; doch alle dingen zijn uit God.
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 gij onder uzelven: is het betamelijk, dat de vrouw ongedekt God bidde?
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]
Of leert u ook de natuur zelve niet, dat zo een man lang haar draagt, het hem een oneer is?
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].
Maar zo een vrouw lang haar draagt, dat het haar een eer is; omdat het lange haar voor een deksel haar is gegeven?
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.
Doch indien iemand schijnt twistgierig te zijn, wij hebben zulke gewoonten niet, noch de Gemeenten Gods.
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].
Dit nu, hetgeen ik u aanzegge, prijs ik niet, namelijk dat gij niet tot beter, maar tot erger samenkomt.
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.
Want eerstelijk, als gij samenkomt in de Gemeente, zo hoor ik, dat er scheuringen zijn onder u; en ik geloof het ten dele;
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 er moeten ook ketterijen onder u zijn, opdat degenen, die oprecht zijn, openbaar mogen worden onder u.
20 When you gather together, you [IRO] eat the meal [that you say is to remember the death of] the Lord [Jesus for us].
Als gij dan bijeen samenkomt, dat is niet des Heeren avondmaal eten.
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 in het eten neemt een iegelijk te voren zijn eigen avondmaal; en deze is hongerig, en de andere is dronken.
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 er te eten en te drinken? Of veracht gij de Gemeente Gods, en beschaamt gij degenen, die niet hebben? Wat zal ik u zeggen? Zal ik u prijzen? In dezen prijs ik u 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 heb van den Heere ontvangen, hetgeen ik ook u overgegeven heb, dat de Heere Jezus in den nacht, in welken Hij verraden werd, het 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].”
En als Hij gedankt had, brak Hij het, en zeide: Neemt, eet, dat is Mijn lichaam, dat voor u gebroken wordt; doet dat 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].”
Desgelijks nam Hij ook den drinkbeker, na het eten des avondmaals, en zeide: Deze drinkbeker is het Nieuwe Testament in Mijn bloed. Doet dat, zo dikwijls als gij dien zult drinken, 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].
Want zo dikwijls als gij dit brood zult eten, en dezen drinkbeker zult drinken, zo verkondigt den dood des Heeren, 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].
Zo dan, wie onwaardiglijk dit brood eet, of den drinkbeker des Heeren drinkt, die zal schuldig zijn aan het lichaam en bloed des Heeren.
28 Before any believer eats that bread and drinks that wine [MTY], he should think carefully about [what he is doing],
Maar de mens beproeve zichzelven, en ete alzo van het brood, en drinke van den drinkbeker.
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 die onwaardiglijk eet en drinkt, die eet en drinkt zichzelven een oordeel, niet onderscheidende het lichaam des Heeren.
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 onder u vele zwakken en kranken, en velen slapen.
31 If we would think carefully about what we [are doing], [God] would not judge [and punish] us [like that].
Want indien wij onszelven oordeelden, zo zouden wij 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].
Maar als wij geoordeeld worden, zo worden wij van den Heere getuchtigd, opdat wij met de wereld niet zouden veroordeeld 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].
Zo dan, mijn broeders, als gij samenkomt om te eten, verwacht elkander.
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].
Doch zo iemand hongert, dat hij te huis ete, opdat gij niet tot een oordeel samenkomt. De overige dingen nu zal ik verordenen, als ik zal gekomen zijn.
