1 Corinthians 11
1 [Follow my example], just like I [try to] follow Christ’s example.
Muniyiga nene ngati chemukumuyiga Kilisitu.
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.
Nikuvalumba nyenye kwa kunikumbuka na ndava ya kugakamula malagizu ganavapelili.
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.
Nambu nigana mmanyayi kuvya Kilisitu ndi mutu wa kila mgosi, na mgosi ndi mutu wa mdala waki, na Chapanga ndi mutu wa Kilisitu.
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].
Hinu ndi mgosi yoyoha mweakumuyupa Chapanga amala kukokosa ujumbi wa Chapanga kuni agubiki mutu waki, mwenuyo akuhuvevesa mutu waki ndi Kilisitu.
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.
Na mdala ngati akumuyupa Chapanga amala kukokosa ujumbi wa Chapanga changagubika mutu waki, mdala mwenuyo ndi akumvevesa mgosi waki ndi mutu waki, mdala mweikita chenicho ndi iwanangana ngati mdala mwaketili mayunju pamutu waki.
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].
Mdala mwangagubika mutu waki, ndi mbanga aketayi mayunju gaki. Nambu ngati soni kwa mdala kuketa zoha amala nganila mayunju gaki, ndi mbanga agubika mutu waki.
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.
Mgosi iganikiwa lepi kugubika mutu waki, ndava mwene ndi luhumu na ukulu wa Chapanga, nambu mdala ndi chilolilo cha ukulu wa mgosi.
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.
Mgosi awumbi lepi kuhuma kwa mdala, nambu mdala awumbiwi kuhuma kwa mgosi.
9 Also, [God] did not create [the first] man [to help] the woman. Instead, [he] created the woman [to help] the man.
Mgosi awumbiwi lepi ndava ya mdala, nambu mdala awumbiwi ndava ya mgosi.
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].
Ndava yeniyo na ndava ya vamitumu va kunani kwa Chapanga. Mdala agubika mutu waki, uvya ulangisu kulangisa uhotola weuvi panani yaki.
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.
Hati ago, palongolo ya BAMBU mdala chindu lepi changali mgosi, na mgosi chindu lepi changali mdala voha vihuvalilana.
Ngati mdala cheawumbiwi kuhuma kwa mgosi, mewawa mgosi ivelekewa na mdala. Nambu vindu vyoha vihuma kwa Chapanga.
13 Consider this for yourselves: Is it proper for [RHQ] women to pray to God while they do not have coverings over their heads?
Mwavene muhukumwa, wu, chabwina mdala kumuyupa Chapanga changagubika chindu kumutu?
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]
Hati vandu chevawumbiwi yilangisa kuvya mgosi kuvya na mayunju gatali ndi soni kwaki mwene,
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].
nambu kwa mdala kuvya na mayunju gatali ndi utopesa kwaki, apewi mayunju gatali muni gamgubikayi.
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.
Nambu mundu igana undindani ndava ya lijambu ili, amanyayi kuvya tete tivii lepi na mvelu wungi wa undindani, mewawa mumsambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu kawaka mivelu yingi.
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].
Peniyendelela kuvapela malagizu aga, nihotola lepi kuvalumba hati padebe, mikonganeku yinu nyenye mwihenga mambu gamahele gahakau kuliku gabwina.
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.
Pakutumbula, niyuwini ngati pemwikonganeka pamonga ngati msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu mwipechengana. Nene nisadika padebe,
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!
changali mtahu yiganikiwa pavya ulekenganu pagati yinu, muni kulangisa vala veviyidakiliwa na Chapanga vamanyikayi hotohoto.
20 When you gather together, you [IRO] eat the meal [that you say is to remember the death of] the Lord [Jesus for us].
Chakaka mwikonganeka, mwihololela mwilya chakulya cha kumkumbuka lifwa la BAMBU, nambu lepi!
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].
Muni pamwilya kila mmonga winu ilya chakulya, hati yihumila vangi vilya Changali kuvalindila vayavi ndi yihumila vangi vavi na njala, na vangi vagalili!
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!
Wu, mwihotola lepi kulya na kunywa kunyumba yinu? Amala mukuyivevesa msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu va Chapanga na kuvavevesa vandu avo vangali chindu? Nivakokosela kyani? Nivalumba? Lepi! Lepi kuvala lijambu ili.
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.
Muni nene napokili mawuliwu kuhuma kwa BAMBU genavalekili, kuvya kilu yila BAMBU Yesu peagotoliwi kwa makoko vaki, atolili libumunda,
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].”
akamsengusa Chapanga, akalimetula, akajova. “Yeniyi ndi higa yangu yeyiwusiwa ndava yinu, mkita aga kwa kunikumbuka 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].”
Mewawa, pamali kulya, akatola chikombi, akajova. “Chenichi ndi chikombi cha lilaganu lamupya lelikitwa livya na makakala kwa ngasi yangu. Mkita naha kila pemwinywa, kwa kunikumbuka 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].
Kila lukumbi pemwilya libumunda lenili na kunywa chikombi ichi, mukokosa lifwa la BAMBU, mbaka peibwela.
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].
Ndava yeniyo, mundu yeyoha mweilya libumunda na kunywa chikombi cha BAMBU changali kuganikiwa, yati ivya na lijambu ndava ya ngasi ya BAMBU
28 Before any believer eats that bread and drinks that wine [MTY], he should think carefully about [what he is doing],
Yikumgana mundu yoyoha ajilolayi mwene hoti, kangi alyayi libumunda lenilo na anywela chikombi chenicho.
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].
Muni mundu yeyoha mweilya na kunywa changali kumanya mana ya higa ya BAMBU, akujiletela uhamula waki mwene.
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].
Ndi mana vamahele pagati yinu vatamu, na vangi vafwili.
31 If we would think carefully about what we [are doing], [God] would not judge [and punish] us [like that].
Ngati tijilolili tavete bwina ngati tibuniwi lepi na Chapanga.
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].
Nambu patihamuliwa na BAMBU, tiwuliwa, tikotoka kuhengewa uhamula pamonga na vandu va mulima.
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].
Hinu, valongo vangu, pamkonganeka pamonga kulya libumunda la kumkumbuka BAMBU, kila mundu amlindilayi muyaki.
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].
Na ngati kuvi na mundu mweavi na njala, alyayi hoti kunyumba yaki. Muni kukonganeka kwinu kukoto kuleta uhamula. Nambu, kuvala mambu gangi, yati nikuvajovela penibwela.
