1 Corinthians 11
1 [Follow my example], just like I [try to] follow Christ’s example.
Se pou nou vin imitatè a mwen menm, menm jan ke mwen osi se imitatè a Kris la.
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.
Alò mwen fè nou konpliman akoz ke nou sonje mwen nan tout bagay, e nou kenbe fèm a tout sa ke m enstwi nou yo, jis jan ke m te livre yo bannou an.
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.
Men mwen vle nou konprann ke Kris se tèt a tout gason, gason se tèt a fanm nan, e Bondye se tèt a Kris la.
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].
Tout gason ki gen yon bagay sou tèt li pandan l ap priye oubyen pwofetize, dezonore tèt li.
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.
Men chak fanm ki kite tèt li dekouvri pandan l ap priye oubyen pwofetize, dezonore tèt li. Paske li vin menm jan avèk yon fanm ki pase razwa nan tèt li.
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].
Paske si yon fanm pa kouvri tèt li, kite li koupe cheve l tou. Men si se yon dezonè pou yon fanm koupe cheve li, oswa pase razwa nan tèt li, kite li kouvri tèt li.
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.
Paske yon gason pa ta dwe kouvri tèt li akoz ke li se imaj ak glwa a Bondye, men fanm nan se glwa a gason.
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.
Paske gason pa soti nan fanm, men fanm soti nan gason.
9 Also, [God] did not create [the first] man [to help] the woman. Instead, [he] created the woman [to help] the man.
Paske, gason pa t kreye pou koz a fanm nan, men fanm nan pou koz a gason an.
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].
Konsa, fanm nan dwe gen yon siyal otorite sou tèt li akoz zanj yo.
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.
Sepandan, nan Senyè a, ni fanm nan pa endepandan de gason an, ni gason an pa endepandan de fanm nan.
Paske menm jan ke fanm nan sòti nan gason an, osi gason an gen nesans li atravè fanm nan; men tout bagay sòti nan Bondye.
13 Consider this for yourselves: Is it proper for [RHQ] women to pray to God while they do not have coverings over their heads?
Jije nou menm: èske li bon pou yon fanm priye Bondye avèk tèt li dekouvri?
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]
Èske menm lanati li menm pa enstwi nou ke si yon nonm gen cheve long, se yon dezonè pou li,
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].
men si yon fanm gen cheve long, se yon glwa pou li? Paske cheve li te donnen kon yon kouvèti pou li.
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.
Men si yon moun ta vle diskite kont sa, ni nou menm, ni legliz Bondye yo pa pou gen okenn lòt pratik.
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].
Men lè mwen bay nou komman sila a, mwen pa fè nou konpliman, paske nou pa reyini ansanm pou sa ki pi bon men pou sa ki pi mal.
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.
Paske premyèman, lè nou reyini ansanm kòm yon legliz, mwen tande ke gen divizyon pami nou, e mwen kwè yon pati nan sa gen verite.
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!
Paske toujou oblije gen divizyon pami nou jis pou sila ki apwouve yo kapab vin parèt klè pami nou.
20 When you gather together, you [IRO] eat the meal [that you say is to remember the death of] the Lord [Jesus for us].
Konsa, lè nou reyini ansanm, nou pa fè l pou nou manje manje Senyè a.
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].
Olye sa, nan manje a, chak moun pran pwòp manje pa l avan. Yon moun grangou, e yon lòt sou.
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!
Kisa! Nou pa gen kay kote nou kapab manje ak bwè? Oubyen èske nou meprize legliz Bondye a, e fè sila ki manke yo wont? Kisa m kapab di nou? Èske m dwe fè nou konpliman? Nan sa, mwen p ap fè nou konpliman.
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.
Paske mwen te resevwa soti nan Senyè a sa ke m te livre bannou an, ke Senyè a Jésus, nan nwit ke Li te trayi a, te pran pen an.
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].”
Lè L te fin bay remèsiman, li te kase li e te di: “Pran, manje. Sa se kò Mwen ki kase pou nou. Fè sa nan memwa a Mwen menm.”
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].”
Menm jan an, apre soupe a li te pran tas la osi e te di: “Tas sa a se akò tounèf nan san Mwen an. Tout tan ke nou bwè li, fè sa nan memwa a Mwen menm.”
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].
Paske tout tan ke nou manje pen sa a, e bwè tas sa a, nou pwoklame lanmò Senyè a jiskaske Li vini.
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].
Konsa, nenpòt moun ki manje pen an oubyen bwè tas Senyè a nan yon fason ki pa dign, va koupab de kò ak san Senyè a.
28 Before any believer eats that bread and drinks that wine [MTY], he should think carefully about [what he is doing],
Men yon moun dwe egzamine tèt li, e konsa kite li manje pen an e bwè tas la.
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].
Paske sila ki manje e ki bwè nan yon jan ke li pa merite, manje e bwè jijman sou tèt li si li pa byen jije kò Senyè a.
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].
Pou rezon sa a, anpil pami nou fèb, malad, e kèk mouri.
31 If we would think carefully about what we [are doing], [God] would not judge [and punish] us [like that].
Men si nou te byen jije pwòp tèt nou, nou pa t ap vin jije.
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].
Men lè nou vin jije, nou korije pa Senyè a pou nou pa vin kondane ansanm avèk mond lan.
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].
Konsa, frè m yo, lè nou reyini ansanm pou nou manje, se pou nou tann youn lòt.
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].
Si yon moun grangou, ke li manje lakay li, pou nou pa reyini ansanm pou jijman. Rès bagay yo mwen va regle yo lè m vini.
