1 Corinthians 11
1 [Follow my example], just like I [try to] follow Christ’s example.
I togd man n nan min togd Jesu maam yeni.
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.
Mɔlane n tien'di balg yen yin tiad n po bonl kuln ni, yen yin tuo k lol o ñɔbu nan min waan ni maam yeni.
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.
N bo bua k yin ya ban mɔlane, jesu n tie pia miali kuli ya canba, yeni ko ja tie o pua canba, k'u tienu tie jesu baa.
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].
Ya ja kuli jaandi, bii k muandi u tienu maami, k sien ki piig o yuli, o fal o canba'i
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.
Ama ya pua kuli n jaandi bii ki muandi u tienu maami, k k piig o yuli k cɔln o canba. lL baa tie yeni o ya bo kuo bii k ceb o yudi,
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].
klma, li ya tie k pua k piig o yuli, o ba kuo o yudi. li ya mab ya pua yen wan ceb bii k kuo o yudi, wan ba li cabli k yiln o yuli.
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.
Klma, ja kan fidi k wuoni o yuli, k dugn o tie u tienu ninnangu yen o kpiagdi. Ama o pua tie o ja ya kpiagdi.
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.
K dugn o ja k ñani o pua tagmn ka, ama o pua n ñani o ja kani.
9 Also, [God] did not create [the first] man [to help] the woman. Instead, [he] created the woman [to help] the man.
B k tag o ja o pua po ka, ama o pua tag o ja po.
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].
L po n cedi ko pua ba pia ti yudandi nananli o yul po. K dugn malek nba po
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.
Li ya po, u tienu nungn, o pua kan yendi oba o ja kani, li tie yeni k'o ja mɔ kan yendi oba o pua kani.
ñan o pua n tie o ja gbannand, k'o ja mɔ fuo k dugni o pua po. K bonli kuli ñaa u tienu kani.
13 Consider this for yourselves: Is it proper for [RHQ] women to pray to God while they do not have coverings over their heads?
Bu man i ba, li cab k pua n jaandi u tienu k k yil cabli?
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]
Li ɲandunli k wang'ti k ja yud ya fag k pend l tie fee o po'i?
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].
Ama pua yudi ya fag k pendi, li tie o po yudandi, k dugn o yud n tie o yicabl.
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.
Ama li ya tie k nil bua pugn bonli li maam po, t k pia san tianu, ba yeni ya jaanddiena n tie u tienu yali
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].
O tunda n ni, n k fuondi, klma ya yognu kuli ki taan, l k tie yaal n ɲan po ka ama yaal n bia po.
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.
K dugn boncincinli, n gbad k'i ya taan i lieb jaanddieln, m bogdma yi ye i siiga n, n gaa k tie mɔni.
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!
K biyiekaabi ye i siiga n ni, yab n tuo yen i mɔni n baa ban li niba
20 When you gather together, you [IRO] eat the meal [that you say is to remember the death of] the Lord [Jesus for us].
Ya yognu kuli ki taan liebi, i k dii u tienu jiema ka.
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].
Ya yognu k dii, yua kuli yi dii (je) o yul po jiema yo, k fidi k yab n sien n dii, m kom pia yenb, k tianb tulni yen l daaguoli.
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!
I k pia den yal ki ba dii(je) k bia ñu? I laa u tienu jaanddieli yeni yab k pia bonli yaaa? N b fid k fuondi, n kan pagi lpo.
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.
Klma yaal k n maadi ne, n gaa li paabu u tienu kani. Ya ñiagu mɔno k b kuad jesu, o tugi kpanu
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].”
k tien balgi k gben, k jend k maad “ne tie n gbannand k cab i po, ya tiendi man yeni k ya tian n po
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].”
Yeni ko tugi m daam mɔ k maadi: “m daam ne tie boncelu (naataanpanl) m sɔmn, ya tian man n po ya yognu kuli ki ñu'g.”
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].
Ya yognu kuli ki ba je n gbannand k ñu m daam ne, i ba guani (muandi) jesu kuuma yen o guanma.
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].
Li ya po, k je bii k ñu ya daami ka k dagd yenli, li tie bonbiili jesu gbannand yen o sɔmn.
28 Before any believer eats that bread and drinks that wine [MTY], he should think carefully about [what he is doing],
Yua kul n mia sugl o biid po'o, k fid k gaa o salg ŋang.
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].
Klma yua n gaa o salg k k dagd yenl, kpaan o yul po buudi.
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].
L po n ced k b nib boncianli i siign ne k pia laafiaa, k cagn, k tianb kpenli.
31 If we would think carefully about what we [are doing], [God] would not judge [and punish] us [like that].
Ama, ti ya mia sugl ti biid po, b kan te bu'ti.
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].
Ama, ya yognu kuli k'u tienu bun'ti, k t cɔlm'o, yeni k o kan bian'ti yeni l ŋandunli.
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].
Li ya po n ninjab, n nipuob, ya yognu ki nagn o salg ŋang kani, mɔnd man k tien m maagbadm i siign.
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].
Yua k kom kub'o, wan je o den po, k yin te da taag k bilg buud i po, ya bona sien kul k dian n ne, n bu ŋmagd l kul li ya tie k n pund kuli.
