1 Corinthians 11
1 [Follow my example], just like I [try to] follow Christ’s example.
Folgt meinem Beispiel, wie ich dem Beispiel Christi folge.
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.
Ich finde es lobenswert an euch, daß ihr in allem an mich denkt und an den Vorschriften festhaltet, wie ich sie euch gegeben habe.
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.
Ihr sollt indes wissen, daß Christus das Haupt jeden Mannes ist, des Weibes Haupt der Mann, Gott aber das Haupt Christi.
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].
Jeder Mann, der betet oder prophezeit und dabei etwas auf dem Haupte trägt, entehrt sein Haupt.
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.
Jedes Weib, das betet oder prophezeit und dabei unverhüllten Hauptes ist, entehrt sein Haupt; es ist ja dann geradeso wie eine kahl Geschorene.
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].
Wenn ein Weib sich nicht verhüllen will, so lasse sie sich doch die Haare ganz scheren. Ist es aber für das Weib schimpflich, sich die Haare abschneiden oder ganz abscheren zu lassen, dann möge sie sich verhüllen.
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.
Der Mann braucht sein Haupt nicht zu verhüllen, weil er Abbild und Abglanz Gottes ist. Das Weib jedoch ist ein Abglanz des Mannes;
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.
denn der Mann stammt nicht vom Weibe ab, sondern das Weib vom Manne.
9 Also, [God] did not create [the first] man [to help] the woman. Instead, [he] created the woman [to help] the man.
Auch wurde nicht der Mann dem Weibe zulieb geschaffen, sondern das Weib dem Manne zulieb.
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].
Darum muß das Weib einen Schleier auf dem Haupte tragen, um der Engel willen.
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.
Sonst aber ist das Weib im Herrn nichts ohne seinen Mann, noch der Mann etwas ohne Weib;
denn wie das Weib vom Manne stammt, so stammt ja auch der Mann vom Weibe; und schließlich kommt alles von Gott her.
13 Consider this for yourselves: Is it proper for [RHQ] women to pray to God while they do not have coverings over their heads?
Urteilt doch selber: Ist es wirklich passend für ein Weib, unverhüllt zu Gott zu beten?
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]
Lehrt euch denn nicht schon die Natur, daß es für den Mann eine Unehre ist, wenn er sein Haar lang trägt,
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].
dagegen für das Weib ein langes Haar als Zierde gilt? Das Haar ward ihr als Schleier verliehen.
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.
Will aber einer durchaus recht behalten, so wißt: Wir kennen eine solche Sitte nicht, und die Gemeinden Gottes auch nicht.
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].
Bei folgender Ermahnung kann ich euch nicht loben; ihr kommt ja nicht zur Besserung, sondern zur Verschlechterung zusammen.
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.
Fürs erste muß ich hören, daß, wenn ihr euch als Gemeinde versammelt, Spaltungen bei euch zutage treten. Und zum Teil möchte ich es glauben.
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!
Es muß ja bei euch auch Spaltungen geben, damit die Erprobten unter euch sich offenbaren.
20 When you gather together, you [IRO] eat the meal [that you say is to remember the death of] the Lord [Jesus for us].
Wenn ihr also zusammenkommt, so heißt das nimmermehr das Herrenmahl feiern.
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].
Jeder nimmt beim Essen sein eigenes Mahl vorweg; der eine ist dann hungrig, der andere betrunken.
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!
Habt ihr denn keine Häuser zum Essen und Trinken? Oder verachtet ihr die Kirche Gottes, macht ihr die Mittellosen schamrot? Was soll ich euch sagen? Soll ich euch gar noch loben? In diesem Punkte kann ich euch nicht loben.
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.
Vom Herrn nämlich habe ich empfangen, was ich euch auch überliefert habe: In jener Nacht, da er verraten ward, nahm der Herr Jesus Brot,
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].”
dankte, brach es und sprach: "Das ist mein Leib, der für euch hingegeben wird; dies tut zu meinem Andenken!"
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].”
Desgleichen nahm er nach dem Mahl auch den Kelch und sprach: "Dieser Kelch ist der Neue Bund in meinem Blute; tut dies, sooft ihr trinket, zu meinem Andenken!"
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].
Sooft ihr dieses Brot esset und aus dem Kelche trinket, verkündet ihr den Tod des Herrn, bis er wiederkommt.
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].
Wer deshalb unwürdig das Brot ißt oder den Kelch des Herrn trinkt, vergeht sich am Leib und Blut des Herrn.
28 Before any believer eats that bread and drinks that wine [MTY], he should think carefully about [what he is doing],
So prüfe man sich also selbst und esse dann von dem Brot und trinke aus dem Kelch.
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].
Denn wer nur ißt und trinkt, der ißt und trinkt ein Strafgericht in sich hinein, weil er den Leib nicht richtig einschätzt.
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].
Darum sind bei euch so viele schwach und krank, und viele sind auch schon entschlafen.
31 If we would think carefully about what we [are doing], [God] would not judge [and punish] us [like that].
Wenn wir uns selber richtig beurteilten, dann würden wir nicht gerichtet werden.
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].
Wenn wir jedoch vom Herrn gerichtet werden, dann werden wir gezüchtigt, damit wir nicht mit der Welt verdammt werden.
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].
Wenn ihr also zum Essen zusammenkommt, meine Brüder, so wartet aufeinander.
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].
Hat einer Hunger, dann esse er zu Hause, damit eure Zusammenkunft euch kein Strafgericht einbringe. Das andere will ich anordnen, wenn ich komme.
