1 Corinthians 11
1 [Follow my example], just like I [try to] follow Christ’s example.
Mwilondai nene, kutya nene kanikamfuata Kristu.
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.
Henu ni kabhafifu kwa ndabha ya fhela kamkani khomboka mghakamuili mayhopolelu kutya kumuletai kwa muenga.
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.
Basi nilonda mmanyai ya kuwa Kristu ndo kichwa kya kila mwanagosi, ni muene mwanagosi ndo kichwa cha bhanadala, ni ya kuya K'yara ndo mutu wa Kristu.
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 mwanagosi yais'oma au yaipisya unabii ikayelai afuniki mutu wa muene akakiaibisha mutu wa muene.
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.
Kakiyele kila mwanadala yais'oma au kupisya unabii hali mutu wa muene kikayelai wazi akakiaibisha mutu wa muene. Kwa mana so sawasawa ni kutya kaakasibhu.
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].
Ikayelai kutya mwandala alafunikalepi mutu wa muene, na adumulibhwai njuili sya muene siyelai sifupi. Mana ukayela soni mwanadala kudumula njuili sya muene au kukasibhwa, basi afunikai mutu wa muene.
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.
Kwani ikampasalepi mwanagosi kufunika mutu wa muene, kwa ndabha muene ndo mfuano ni utukufu wa k'yara. Kakiyele mwanadala ndo utukufu wa mwanagosi.
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.
Mana mwanagosi atokene hee ni mwanadala. Bali mwanadala atokhene ni mwanagosi.
9 Also, [God] did not create [the first] man [to help] the woman. Instead, [he] created the woman [to help] the man.
Wala mwanagosi abhombibhu hee kwajia ya mwanadala. Bali mwanadala abhombibhu kwajia ya mwanagosi.
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].
Eye ndo ndabha mwanadala ipasibhwa kuya ni ishala ya mamlaka juu ya mutu wa muene, kwa ndabha ya malaika.
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 efu, kup'etela Bwana, mwana ndala ayehe muene pasipo mwanangosi, au mwanangosi pasipo mwanadala.
Mana kutya kabhele mwanadala ahomili kwa mwanagosi, khela khela umwanagosi ahomili kwa mwanadala. Ni fhenu fyoa fihomela kwa K'yara.
13 Consider this for yourselves: Is it proper for [RHQ] women to pray to God while they do not have coverings over their heads?
Mjihukumuayi mwayhomo: Ko! ndosahihi mwanadala an's'omai K'yara hali mutu wa muene ukayelai wazi?
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]
Ko hata asili ya yumuene ikabhafundisya lepi ya ndabha mwanagosi akayela ni njuili sitali ndo soni kwa muene?
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 asili ikabhafundisya lepi ya ndabha mwanadala akayela ni njuili sitali ndo utukufu kwa muene? Mana apelibhu sela njuili sitali kutya nghobho sya muene.
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.
Kakiyele ikayela munu yuyuoa yhola ilondaa kubishana juu ya ele, tete tuyehee ni namna yhenge, wala makanisa gha K'yara.
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].
Kup'etela maagizo ghaghifuatila, nene nikabhasifuhee. Mana pamwikusanyika, si kwa faida bali kwa hasala.
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.
Mana kuanza, ni p'eleka ya kuya pamwikusanika mu kanisa, kuyenimigawanyiko kati ya yhomo, ni kwa sehemu niamini.
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!
Kwa mana lazima iyelai misuguano kati ya yhomo, ili ndabha bhala bhakubalili bhamanyinikai kwayhomo.
20 When you gather together, you [IRO] eat the meal [that you say is to remember the death of] the Lord [Jesus for us].
Kwa mana pamwibhonenela, kamwila so kyakulya kya Bwana.
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].
Pamwilya, kila mmonga ilya kyakulya kya muene yumuene kabula ya bhamana bhalili lepi. hata ni oyho ayehe ni njala, ni oyho agalili.
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!
Ko iyelepi nyumba yakulelela au kunywelela? Ko mkaliza ku kanisa la K'yara ni kubhafezehesha yabhadulili fhenu? Nijobha kiki kwa muenga? Nibhasifilai? Nilabhasifila lepi kup'etela ele!
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.
Mana nayhopholili kuhomela kwa Bwana khela kanibhapelili muenga ya kuwa Bwana Yesu, pakilu bhola paasalitibhu, atolili n'kate.
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].”
Baada wa kuushukulu, audumuili ni kujobha, “Obho ndo mbhele wanene, wauyele kajia ya yhomo. Mkhetainaa kwa kunikhombhoka nene.”
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].”
Na ni naa kabhele atolili kikhombi baada ya kulya, ni kujobha, “Kikhombi ekhe ndo agano lipya kup'etela muasi wa yhoni. Mkhetai na mala nyingi kila pamwinywa kwa kunikhombhoka nene.”
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].
Kwakila muda pamwilya n'kate obho ni kunywelela kikombi, mkaitangasya umauti wa Bwana mpaka paihidai.
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].
Kwa elu, kila yailayi n'kate au kukinywelela kikhombi ekhu kya Bwana kakibelili kuya, alaya ajipelili hatia y mbhele ni muasi wa Bwana.
28 Before any believer eats that bread and drinks that wine [MTY], he should think carefully about [what he is doing],
Munu akajihojilepi yumwene hosi, ni kabhele alyai n'kate, ni kukinywelela kikhombi.
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].
Mana yailya ni kunywa bila kupambanula mbhele, ilya ni kunywa hukumu ya muene yumuene.
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].
Eye ndo ndabha bhanu bhingi kati yayhomo ni bhagonjwa ni bhazaifu, ni baazi yhinu bhafuile.
31 If we would think carefully about what we [are doing], [God] would not judge [and punish] us [like that].
Kakiyele tukachunguzimai tabhene tulahukumibhwa hee.
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].
Ila patihukumlibhwa ni Bwana, tikhelebhukila ili tusihidi kuhukumlibhwa pamonga ni dunia.
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].
Kwa elu, kaka ni dada bhayangu pamwibhonanila mbhuesyai kulya, mlendanai.
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].
Munu akayelai ni alyai kunyumba kwa muene, ili ndabha pamwibhonana pamonga isiyi kihukumu. Ni kuhusu mambo ghamana ghamwayandiki, nilabhajobhela pamwihidai.
