< 1 Corinthians 11 >

1 [Follow my example], just like I [try to] follow Christ’s example.
Nga lih phanhe, ngah ih Kristo liphan hang ah likhiik ah.
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.
Sen ih ngah samthun thoidi nyia ngah ih nyootthiin rumtaha ah kap thoidi saarookwet eh gu rumhala.
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.
Enoothong Ngah ih liihang ah langla, mina loongtang nang ih Kristo ah elongthoon ngeh ih warep ih jattheng, hesawah ah hesanuh khotok di elong, eno Rangte ah Kristo khotokdi elong.
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].
Erah raangtaan ih miwah ih nokraat nah heh khoh loop ano rangsoom abah nyia Rangte tiit baat abah heh ih Kristo thaangju ah.
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.
Eno minuh ih nokraat nah heh khoh loopmuh ih rangsoom abah nyia Rangte tiit baat abah heh sawah thaangju ah; erah langla heh khoh loopmuh nyia khoh sui choi abah phoosiit.
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].
Minuh ih heh khoh ah laloopka bah heh khoh ah sui laan ih abah ese ang ah. Eno minuh ih heh khoroon suihaat ah rakrekjih angphiino, heh khoh ah loop ejih.
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.
Miwah ah Rangte laaphaang likhiik nyia heh men raksiit suh ang thoidi, khoh ah laloop theng. Enoothong minuh ah miwah men raksiitte;
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.
tiimnge liidi miwah ah minuh nawa tadongsiitta, enoothong minuh ah miwah nawa dongsiit dowa.
9 Also, [God] did not create [the first] man [to help] the woman. Instead, [he] created the woman [to help] the man.
Adoleh minuh raangtaan ih miwah ah tadongsiitta, enoothong minuh ah miwah raangtaan eh dongsiitta.
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].
Erah raangtaan ih, rangsah loong thoidoh, minuh ih heh khoh ah loop etjih, erah langla heh sawah lathong ni ngeh ih jatthuk ha.
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.
Teesu mendi, seng roidong doh minuh ah heh pongwanwan tami tongka, erah likhiik miwah ah heh pongwanwan tami tongka.
Tiimmnge liidoh minuh ah miwah nawa dongsiitta, erah likhiikkhiik miwah ah minuh nawa dongtup ha; eno jirep ah Rangte ih dong thukla.
13 Consider this for yourselves: Is it proper for [RHQ] women to pray to God while they do not have coverings over their heads?
Sensen ih danjat an nokraat nah minuh ih heh kholoop muh ih rangsoomha ah epun tam tapunka.
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]
Hebanlam ih, miwah ih kholoot thiin ah thaangju kaanse ngeh ih tiim esuh nyootsoot halan,
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].
enoothong minuh raang ebah jaassejih. Heh suh kholoh ah khoh loop suh koha.
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.
Enoothong o ang anbah uh erah raang ih daanmui thung ang anbah, a baat rumhala, seng banlam nyia Rangte chaas mina loong banlam rangsoom tokdi jihoh banlam tajeeka.
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].
Arah renbaat rumhala ah sen tagu rumra, rangsoom khoontong lan ah ese raangtaan lalek angthang ih ehan thoonthet thuk lan.
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.
Jaakhothoon ah, ngasuh chobaat rum halang, sen loong ah khoontongleh daanmui eh lantih, eno erah ami ju ang ah ngeh ih hanpi hang. (
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!
Tiim tah angka sen jaachi nah uh daanmui ejih, emah ang ano juuba o mina epun ah erah mina ah wuusa nah dongjat ah.)
20 When you gather together, you [IRO] eat the meal [that you say is to remember the death of] the Lord [Jesus for us].
Sen loong ah ih phaksat roomphaksah andi Teesu phaksat ngeh ih taphaksah kan.
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].
Sen ih erah phaksah han adi laroom phaksah thang ih maama phaksatsat ehan, erah thoidi mararah ah ramtek khamle ih tong roh eh rumla.
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!
Ejok ephak theng sen nok amuh tam ah? Adoleh Rangte chaas asuh lanook kanno changthih noodek loong ah rakrek thuksuh tamli han? Erah thoidoh ngah ih sen suh tiimjih li rumha ngeh ih samthun han? Ngah ih sen loong egu tam ih rumha? Taheh baam gu rumra!
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.
Tiimnge liidi sen suh korum taha ah Teesu ih nyootsoot hangrah angta: Erah langla Teesu Jisu mokwaanta rangphe ja baanlo chep toonpi ano,
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].”
Rangte suh lakookmi liita, baanlo ah chepphiit ano jengta, “Arah nga si ah langla sen raangtaan ih. Ngah dokthun suh sen ih arah phaktheng.”
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].”
Erah phak lilih, lookkep ah toonpi ano we liita, “Arah lookkep adi Rangte jengdang ena je ah, erah di nga sih pan. Nga dokthun suh sen loong ah ih arah jok theng.”
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].
Sen loong ah ih saarookwet arah baanlo phak andoh nyia arah lookkep dowa jok andoh heh teewah maang raara Teesu tektiit ah baat an.
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].
Erah raangtaan ih sen loong dung dowa maramarah ih lachoomjoh thang ih Teesu baanlo nyia arah lookkep dowa jok phaksah anbah, Teesu si nyia sih ngathong ni sen loong moongre elan.
28 Before any believer eats that bread and drinks that wine [MTY], he should think carefully about [what he is doing],
Erah raangtaan ih, erah baanlo phak suh nyia lookkep dowa jok subah, jaakhoh maama teenuh teewah ih thaak jattheng.
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].
Sen loong ah ih Teesu si nyia lookkep dowa tiimraang ih jok han ah laphang jat kanbah, erah jok phaksah han ah ih sensen dande han.
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].
Erah thoidi sen loong ah hantek khoisat ang lan nyia enaang elan, mararah ah etek elan.
31 If we would think carefully about what we [are doing], [God] would not judge [and punish] us [like that].
Seng loong ah ih jaakhoh chaakjat ebah, Rangte ih dande theng tah angka.
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].
Enoothong Teesu ih seng loong ah dande hali nyia chamthuk hali abah, mongrep damdoh eroom ih ladut haat suh dande hali.
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].
Joon awaan loong, erah raangtaan ih, Teesu Phaksat room phaksah andoh, loongtang khoonban mui etheng.
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].
Eno sen ram ih ti anbah, sen nok nah phaksat theng, tiimnge liidoh sen loong lomkhoon andoh Rangte ih dande jih naktoom ang an. Jihoh loong tiit abah, ngah thok hangdoh ma phansiit ang.
