1 Corinthians 11
1 [Follow my example], just like I [try to] follow Christ’s example.
Mundubhilishe anye, lwakutyo anye enimulubhilisha Kristo.
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.
Olyanu enibhakuya kulwa kutyo omunyichuka ku magambo gona. Enibhakuya kulwa kutyo mugwatile a ijadi lwakutyo nailetele kwimwe.
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.
Mbe enenda mumenye kutiya, Kristo ni mutwe gwa bhuli mulume, ko omulume ni mutwe gwo omugasi, na kutyo jili Nyamuanga ni mutwe gwa Kristo.
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].
Bhuli mulume unu kasabhwa amo unu kasosha obhulagi aswikiliye omutwe kaswasha omutwe gwaye.
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.
Nawe omugasi unu kasabhwa amo nasosha obhulagi omutwe gwaye guli abhwelu kaswasha omutwe gwaye. Okubha kasusa kuti amwegelwe.
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].
Akasanga omugasi ataswikiliye omutwe gwaye, amwege jimfwili Jaye jibhe mfuyi. Jikabha jili nswalo omugasi okutema amo okumwega jimfwili jaye, mbe aswikilile omutwe gwaye.
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.
Kubhaki jiteile omulume okuswikilila omutwe gwaye, kulwokubha omwene ni chijejekanyo na likusho lya Nyamuanga. Nawe omugasi nikusho lyo omulume.
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.
Kulwokubha omulume atasokene no omugasi. Tali omugasi asokene no omulume.
9 Also, [God] did not create [the first] man [to help] the woman. Instead, [he] created the woman [to help] the man.
Nolwo jitalyati omulume amogelwe okujuna omugasi. Tali omugasi amogelwe ajune omulume.
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].
Inu niyo insonga omugasi jimwiile okubha no olunyamo lwo obhuinga ingulu yo omutwe gwaye, kulwa injuno yo bhuinga
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.
Kulwejo, Kulata bhugenyi, omugasi atakubha enyele akabha atalio omulume, nolwo omulume ona nikwo kutyo jili.
Okubha lwakutyo omugasi asokele kumulume, nyabhuliko omulume ona asokele kumugasi. Ne ebhinu bhyona ebhisokaga ku Nyamuanga.
13 Consider this for yourselves: Is it proper for [RHQ] women to pray to God while they do not have coverings over their heads?
Mbe mulamule emwe abhene, Nibhabhushe, nijakisi omugasi okusabhwa Nyamuanga omutwe gwaye guli abhwelu?
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]
Mbe nolwo obhusimuka ona bhutabheigisha lwakutyo omulume akabha na jimfwili ndela ejimuswasha?
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].
Ko obhusimuka bhutakubheigisha ati omugasi akabha na jimfwili ndela nikusho kumwene? Kulwokubha ayabhwile jimfwili ndela lwe echifwalo chaye.
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.
Nawe omunu wonawona akabha nenda okubhambala ingulu yo omusango gunu, eswe chitali na bhutulo bhundi, nolwo amakanisa ga Nyamuanga ona gatakutula.
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].
Kubhilagilo bhinu anu, nitakubhakuya. Kulwokubha mukekofyanya, mutakubhona mugaso tali omubhulwa chonachona.
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.
Kulwokubha enungwa ati, oungwa mwekofyanya mwikanisa, umubha umutasikene, na enikilishanya nejo kutoto.
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!
Kunsonga nibhusi bhusi bhubheo obhuyombo agati yemwe, koleleki bhanu bhekilisibhwe bhamenyekane kwimwe.
20 When you gather together, you [IRO] eat the meal [that you say is to remember the death of] the Lord [Jesus for us].
Kwolokubha mukekofyanya, echo omulya bhitali bhilyo bhyo Omukama.
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].
Ungwa mwalya, bhuli munu kalya ebhaye wenyele nibhelabhila abhandi bhachali kulya, nolwo oundi ali no momweko, oundi atamilile.
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!
Mtali na nyumba ejo kulilamo nokunywelamo? Mbe omuligaya likanisa lya Nyamuanga nokubheta emitima bhanu bhatali na chinu? Emwe nibhabhwileki? Nibhakuye? Nitabhakuya kulwo omusango gunu!
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.
Kulwokubha nalamiye okusoka Kumukama echo nabhayana emwe, lwakutyo Omukama Yesu, ingeta iliya bhejile bhamulila iniku, agegele omukate.
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].”
Ejile amala okusima, nagubheganya naika ati, “Gunu nigwo omubhili gwani, guliwo kulwa injuno yemwe. Mukolega kutiyo mukenda okunyichuka.”
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].”
Munjila eyo bhejile bhamala okulya nagega echikombe, naika ati, “Echikombe chinu ni mulago omuyaya mu manyinga gani. Mukolega kutyo kwiya ngendo Nyafu mukasanga ni munywa, koleleki munyichuke.”
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].
Mukasanga nimulya no okunywela Echikombe chinu, omulasha olufu lwo Omukama okukingila ao alijila
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].
Kulwejo, bhuli munu unu kalya omukate nokunywela Echikombe echo Omukama atambukile amalagililo, alibha eyumbakiye echikayo cho omubhili na amanyinga ago Omukama.
28 Before any believer eats that bread and drinks that wine [MTY], he should think carefully about [what he is doing],
Omunu nambe okwikeselesha omwene okwamba, niwo alye no okunywela echikombe.
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].
Kulwokubha unu kalya no okunywa atagajue omubhili, kalya no okunywa indamu yaye omwene.
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].
Inu niyo injuno abhanu bhafu agati yemwe ni bhalwaye na nibhalenga, na abhandi agati yemwe bhafuye.
31 If we would think carefully about what we [are doing], [God] would not judge [and punish] us [like that].
Nawe chikekengela abhene chitaligwa mundamu.
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].
Tali chikalamulwa no Omukama, echigonyibhwa, koleleki chasiga okulamulwa amwi ne echalo.
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].
Kulwejo, bhamula na bhayala bhasu, mukekofyanya okulya, mulindililane.
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].
Akasanga omunu ali nainjala, alye ika owaye, koleleki mukekofyanya amwi mutakola kutyo kwa indamu. Na ingulu ya amagambo agandi ganu mwandikile, nilibha naja nilibhasombolela.
