1 Corinthians 11
1 [Follow my example], just like I [try to] follow Christ’s example.
Mung'onge une nduvu nikhukonga uKlisite.
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.
Leino nikhuvaginia ulwa khuva eimivombele nduvuniavapeile umwe.
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.
Leino ninogwa mulumanye ukhuta uKlisite veitwe gwa gosi yuyooni na vope ugosi veitwe gwa daala, nukhuta uNguluve veitwe gwa Klisite.
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].
Khila gosi uvidoova, ewo uveihumya amalago vuagubeikhe utwe ikhu gukoncha isoni utwe gwa mwene.
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.
Puleino udala yuyooni uvidoova ewo uvei humya amalago vu utwe gwa mwene gulipavuvule ukhugukoncha isoni utwe gwa mwene. Ulwa khuva puyiehwanine nukhuta aketiwe.
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].
Pu eingave udala safwalile utwe gwa mwene, pu akete inchweili ncha mwene nchive supi. Ulwa khuva yeingave ncha soni udala ukhuke inchwiele ewo ukhugida pu agubeikhe utwe gwa mwene.
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.
Ulwa khuva sayienogile ugosi ukhugubeikha ufwe gwa mwene, khihwani khya vudwaadwa wa Nguluve. Pu udala veivudwaadwa wa gosi.
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.
Ulwa khuva ugosi sa humile nu dala, pu udala veiahahumile nu gosi.
9 Also, [God] did not create [the first] man [to help] the woman. Instead, [he] created the woman [to help] the man.
Hange ugosi sapeliwe savuli ya dala. Pu udala veiapeliwe savuli ya gosi.
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].
Eiyei khumene udala panogile ukhuva khimanyielo khya vulongonchi pafwe gwa mwene savuli ya vasuhwa.
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.
Hata ewo, khutawa, udala uvyaliemwene mwene khinchila gosi asikhuli, na yugosi ukhuva khinchila dala.
Nduvuyielievyo udala ahumile khugosi, ni finu fyoni fihuma khwa Nguluve.
13 Consider this for yourselves: Is it proper for [RHQ] women to pray to God while they do not have coverings over their heads?
Muhegage yumwe: Te! lunonu udala adoovage uNguluve vu utwe gwa mwene sagafwalile?
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]
Te nuvumanyi uwakhuholiwa savukhuvamanyisya ukhuta ugosi angave ni ninchweili inali nchasoni khumwene?
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].
Te navuvumanyi uwavuholwa savukhuvamanyisya ukhuta udala angave ni nchwieli inali wimekhiwa khumwene? Ulwakhuva apevilwe inchwiele inali nchiila ndu mwenda ugwa khufwala.
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.
Puleino umunu anave inogwa ukhubeigana pa eili, ufwe tuleivanchila ncheila eiyeinge, nagimipe lela gya Nguluve gwope.
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].
Mundageilo inchikonga, unesanikhuvaginia, manya upumulundamana, samlundamana mbukavi wa lweideekho pu mulundamana mbufuve wa lweideekho.
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.
Puleino, nipuleikha ukhuta upumulundamana mutembile, pumulekhehana yumwe, khwa yumwe, uounu nikhweideikha.
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!
Ulwa khuva lusutu ukhukatukhilanila yumwe khwa yumwe, ukhuta vala vavo veideikhiwe vamanyiekhikhe khyulyumwe.
20 When you gather together, you [IRO] eat the meal [that you say is to remember the death of] the Lord [Jesus for us].
Pakhuva vumulundamana, ukhwyumwilya sakhya khulya khyantwa.
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].
Vumwilya khila munu ilya eikhyakhulya khya mwene yuywa avange vuvakhale ukhulya. Pu uyu aleinienchala, nuyu agalile.
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!
Pu muleivanchila kaya inchakhuleila nu khunywela? Pu mukhugu beida upelela ngwa Nguluve nukhuvafweeyula vavo valeinchila khinu.
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.
Pakhuva niaupeile ukhuhuma khuntwa, khila eikhyu niavapiele umwe ukhuta untwa uYesu, ikilo yiela yiela upuangalandu khiwe, akhalola eikhisyesye.
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].”
Aviile eisayile, akhamenyula nukhuta, “Ugu gu mbeili ngwaango unyu nikhuvapa umwe. mgahage vulevule mumbukumbuhincha wango.”
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].”
Pu vulevule akhatola eikhikombe vavile valile, pu akhata eikhikombe eikhi yu ndagano eimya mu kisa gwango. Pu mugahage vulevule eimiseikhi gyooni vumwinywa, vu mukhung'oumbukha.”
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].
Usiekhe vumwilya eikhi syesye eikhi nukhunywela, pumukhuvunchova uvufwe wantwa impakha yakhiva ikhwincha.
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].
Pu leino khila munu uveilya eikhisyesye nukhunywela eikhikombe eikyo eikhya ntwa umusayinogiwa, pu iva eipeliile uvunangi wa mbeili nukisa gwa Ntwa.
28 Before any believer eats that bread and drinks that wine [MTY], he should think carefully about [what he is doing],
Umunu eivolunche yuywa taasi, puleino alye eikhisyesye, nukhukhinywela ikhikombe.
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].
Ulwa khuva uveilya nu khunywa khisita khwi vuuncha munumbula nu khwilola umbeili, pu iva ilya nu khunywa uvuheigi wa mwene yuywa.
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].
Eiyie yu savuli avanu vingi mulyumwe vatamu nukhulegeha legeha, na vaninie mulyumwe vafwile.
31 If we would think carefully about what we [are doing], [God] would not judge [and punish] us [like that].
Pu tungeivunche yufwe satukhahegiwe.
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].
Leino uputuhigeiwa nuntwa, lwiva lwakhu kilivukhila ukhula tulekhe ukhuheigiewa pupaninie nikhilunga.
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].
Pu leino valukolo lwango, upumuluundamana ukhuta muve pakhulya muyuleilanilage.
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].
Umunu angave nei njala, alinchage khukaya ya mwene, ukhuta vu mukhwaganila yeisite ukhuva vuheigi nukhukongana ni mbombo inchinge ugu musimbile yunikhuvavula yakhiva nikhwincha.
