1 Corinthians 11
1 [Follow my example], just like I [try to] follow Christ’s example.
Mube muba likanisi, sina hani likanisa Kirisite. Cwale ni mi temba kakuti muni hupula mwi ndaba zonse.
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.
Nimi temba kaku tokomela intuto zangu muni ba mi lutili.
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.
Cwale ni saka kuti mu zuwisise kuti Krisite njo mutwi wa bakwame bonse, imi ba kwame nje mitwi ya banakazi, sina Ireeza hali mutwi wa Krisite.
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].
Yense mukwame yo lapela kapa ku polofita na zwete inkuwani ku mutwi u nyansa mutwi wakwe.
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.
Kono mwanakazi yense yo lapela ni ku polofita nasa sumine intaulo ku mutwi u nyansa mutwi wakwe, kakuti cintu chi swana niha gunkite insuki.
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].
Heba mwanakazi kali sumini cimwi ku mutwi u swanela ku gunka insuki za kwe ka bufwihi, heba mwanakazi ha gunkwa insuki ku luna, mumu leke a sumine intaulo ku mutwi.
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.
Mukuti mukwame ka swaneli ku bika cimwi ku mutwi, sina hali chiswaniso ni kanya ye Ireeza, kono mwanakazi i kanya ya mukwame.
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.
Kono mukwame kana aba bumbwa ha mwanakazi, konohe mwanakazi aba bumbwa ha mukwame.
9 Also, [God] did not create [the first] man [to help] the woman. Instead, [he] created the woman [to help] the man.
Hape mukwame kana aba bumbwa bakeñicha mwanakazi, kono mwanakazi aba bumbwa bakeñicha mukwame.
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].
Che swanelo mwanakazi wina ni kuba ni chi supo ku mutwi ci tondeza ku buswa, bakeñicha mangeloyi.
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.
Nihakuba bulyo, kwa Simwine, mwanakazi ka lukuluhite ku mukwame, imi ni mukwame ka lukuluhite ku mwanakazi.
Kono mwanakazi u zwa ha mukwame, ni mukwame u zalwa ku mwanakazi? Imi zintu zonse zi zwa kwe Ireeza.
13 Consider this for yourselves: Is it proper for [RHQ] women to pray to God while they do not have coverings over their heads?
Muli atule inwe mubene: Kana inswanelo yo mwanakazi kusa lisumina cimwi ku mutwi ha lapela kwe Ireeza?
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]
Itu luta kuti mukwame njiwina insuki inde nasa gunki u nyansa mutwi wakwe.
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].
Kana tu lutwa kuti heba mwanakazi wina insuki inde, wina ikanya? Sina ha helwe insuki ku wumba mutwi.
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.
Kono heba zumwi u suna ku tenda inkani ka mukwa usa kwina kwetu, imi kau kwina ni mwi keleke zimwi ze Ireeza.
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].
Kono ni mi lemusa kuti, kani mi tembi, kakuti hamu kopana kamu leti bulotu kono muleta bubi.
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.
Indaba ya matangilo njokuti hamu kopana muma keleke, enu kuba ni kusa zuminzana mukati kenu, mi muchi lama ni zumina.
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!
Imi inkauhano zi swanela kuba mukati kenu ilikuti ku bonahale bena buniti.
20 When you gather together, you [IRO] eat the meal [that you say is to remember the death of] the Lord [Jesus for us].
Hamwiza hamwina, kaku talusi kuti mulalilo wa Simwine u mu lya.
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].
Chimu lya, zumwi no zumwi ulya zilyo zakwe, bamwi niba seni kuba ni zilyo. Zumwi u fwile inzala, zumwi u koletwe,
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!
Kana ka mwina mazubo ku mu lila ni ku munywina? Kapa mushwaula ikeleke ye Ireeza ni ku swabisa basa likwatile? Kani wambe nzi kwenu? Nimi tembe? Kete ni mi tembe kwezo.
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.
Kakuti ime niba tambuli kwa Simwine chini bahewa, mukuti Simwine Jesu, ha betekwa masiku aba hindi chinkwa.
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].”
Hamana kulitumela, cha chi cholola chati “Iyi nje nyama yangu, nji yenu, muchite bulyo njokuti ni muni zeze”.
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].”
Chenzila iswana hamana mulalilo abahindi inkomoki, chati, “iyi nje nkomoki ya bulikani buhya bwa malaha angu”. Mutende bulyo chi munywa mwa teni njokuti muni zeze kacho.
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].
Che nako yonse hamu lya chinkwa ni ku nywa mwi nkomoki, kamu wambe ifu lya Simwine ku hita hese naka bole.
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].
Chebaka ilyo, muntu ni muntu yo lya ku chinkwa ni ku nywina muchinywino cha Simwine kamukwa usa swaneli kabe ni mulandu we nyama ni malaha a Jesu.
28 Before any believer eats that bread and drinks that wine [MTY], he should think carefully about [what he is doing],
Muleke muntu ali tatube iye mwine chenzila yakwe mumu leke alye chinkwa ni ku nywa mu nkomoki.
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].
Kono yo lya niku nywa nasa tokomeli ze nyama ya Jesu, kulya ni kunywa ali tatube mwine.
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].
Njikuti bamwi mukati kenu ka bena ziho mi ba lwala, imi bamwi kwenu ba ya muñonzi.
31 If we would think carefully about what we [are doing], [God] would not judge [and punish] us [like that].
Kono tuli tatube iswe tubene, kete tu atulwe.
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].
Kono hatu atulwa ni Simwine, hatu kalimelwa naye kuti kanji tu atulwa ne inkanda.
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].
Mihe, bakwaluzubo, habeza hamwina kukulya, bali lindile.
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].
Heba zumwi u fwile inzala mumu siye a lye ku nzubo, mukuti ha mwiza hamwina kanji kumi wanisi mulandu. Imi kezo zintu zi ñoletwe kanize nihe zisupo chineza.
