1 Corinthians 11
1 [Follow my example], just like I [try to] follow Christ’s example.
Naśladujcie więc mnie, tak jak ja naśladuję Chrystusa.
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.
Tak się cieszę, przyjaciele, że pamiętacie wszystko, czego was nauczyłem, i przestrzegacie tego.
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.
Wiedzcie jednak, że głową męża jest Chrystus, głową żony—mąż, a głową Chrystusa—Bóg.
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].
Dlatego jeśli mężczyzna modli się albo prorokuje z nakrytą głową, przynosi wstyd swojej głowie.
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.
Jeśli zaś kobieta publicznie modli się albo prorokuje z odkrytą głową, również przynosi wstyd swojej głowie, wygląda bowiem tak, jakby nie miała włosów.
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].
Jeśli nie chce nakrywać głowy, niech zetnie włosy. A skoro wstydzi się to zrobić, niech postępuje zgodnie ze zwyczajem i nakrywa głowę.
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.
Mąż natomiast nie powinien nakrywać głowy. Jest bowiem obrazem Boga, przynoszącym Mu chwałę, żona zaś jest obrazem męża.
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.
To nie mężczyzna powstał z kobiety, ale ona z niego.
9 Also, [God] did not create [the first] man [to help] the woman. Instead, [he] created the woman [to help] the man.
I nie mąż został stworzony dla żony, ale żona dla męża.
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].
Dlatego żona powinna nosić nakrycie głowy—ze względu na aniołów.
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.
Przed Panem jednak ani żona, ani mąż nie są niezależni od siebie,
bo chociaż pierwsza kobieta pochodzi od mężczyzny, to jednak każdy mężczyzna rodzi się z kobiety—a wszyscy pochodzą od Boga.
13 Consider this for yourselves: Is it proper for [RHQ] women to pray to God while they do not have coverings over their heads?
Sami zresztą oceńcie: Czy wypada kobiecie publicznie modlić się do Boga z odkrytą głową?
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]
Długie włosy u mężczyzny są czymś sprzecznym z naturą i przynoszą mu wstyd.
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].
Kobiecie zaś—wręcz przeciwnie, dodają urody, bo zostały jej dane jako nakrycie głowy.
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.
Takie zasady panują we wszystkich kościołach, nie ma więc sensu sprzeczać się o te rzeczy.
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].
Przekazując te zalecenia, chciałbym poruszyć jeszcze jedną sprawę. Nie mogę was pochwalić za to, że wasze wspólne spotkania zamiast przynosić pożytek, wyrządzają szkodę.
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.
Usłyszałem bowiem—i po części temu wierzę—że gdy zbieracie się jako kościół, dochodzi wśród was do podziałów.
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!
Zresztą musi dojść do podziałów, bo stanowią one próbę wiary.
20 When you gather together, you [IRO] eat the meal [that you say is to remember the death of] the Lord [Jesus for us].
Wasze spotkania nie mają nic wspólnego z prawdziwą Wieczerzą Pańską.
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].
Każdy spożywa bowiem własny posiłek. Niektórzy są jednak głodni, a inni—pijani.
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!
Czy nie możecie się najeść i napić w domu? Czemu lekceważycie kościół Boga i upokarzacie biednych, których nie stać na to, aby przynieść coś do jedzenia? Co ja mam z wami zrobić? Pochwalić? Za to na pewno was nie pochwalę!
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.
To, co przekazałem wam na temat Wieczerzy, otrzymałem od samego Pana. On, tej nocy, której został zdradzony, wziął chleb,
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].”
podziękował za niego Bogu, połamał na kawałki i powiedział do uczniów: „Jedzcie! To jest moje ciało, które oddaję za was. Czyńcie to pamiętając o Mnie”.
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].”
Po posiłku podał im kielich z winem i rzekł: „Ten kielich jest nowym przymierzem, które przypieczętuję przelewając własną krew. Pijcie z niego pamiętając o Mnie”.
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].
Zawsze więc, gdy spożywacie ten chleb i pijecie z tego kielicha, ogłaszacie śmierć Pana! Tak będzie aż do czasu Jego powrotu.
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].
Jeśli więc ktoś niegodnie spożywa chleb i niegodnie pije z kielicha Pana, grzeszy przeciwko Jego ciału i krwi.
28 Before any believer eats that bread and drinks that wine [MTY], he should think carefully about [what he is doing],
Dlatego każdy, kto sięga po ten chleb i kielich, niech osądzi swoje serce.
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].
Ten bowiem, kto uczestnicząc w Wieczerzy lekceważy ciało Chrystusa, ściąga na siebie Boży sąd.
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].
Z tego właśnie powodu jest wśród was wielu słabych i chorych, a niektórzy nawet umarli.
31 If we would think carefully about what we [are doing], [God] would not judge [and punish] us [like that].
Jeśli jednak będziecie osądzać swoje serca, ominie was ta kara.
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].
A gdy Pan nas osądza i karze, czyni to po to, abyśmy nie zostali potępieni wraz z całym światem.
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].
Zatem, moi przyjaciele, przychodząc na Wieczerzę Pańską, czekajcie na siebie nawzajem.
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].
Jeśli ktoś jest bardzo głodny, niech się naje w domu. Nie pozwólcie, aby z powodu waszych spotkań dotknęła was Boża kara. O pozostałych sprawach powiem wam, gdy do was przybędę.
