1 Corinthians 11
1 [Follow my example], just like I [try to] follow Christ’s example.
Sede meus imitadores, como também eu de Cristo.
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.
E louvo-vos irmãos, porque em tudo vos lembrais de mim, e retendes os preceitos como vo-los entreguei.
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.
Mas quero que saibais que Cristo é a cabeça de todo o varão, e o varão a cabeça da mulher; e Deus a cabeça de Cristo.
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].
Todo o homem que ora ou profetiza, tendo a cabeça coberta, desonra a sua própria cabeça.
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.
Mas toda a mulher que ora, ou profetiza com a cabeça descoberta, desonra a sua própria cabeça, porque é o mesmo que se estivesse rapada.
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].
Portanto, se a mulher não se cobre, tosquie-se também. Mas, se para a mulher é coisa indecente tosquiar-se ou rapar-se, cubra-se.
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.
O varão pois não deve cobrir a cabeça, porque é a imagem e glória de Deus, mas a mulher é a glória do varão.
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.
Porque o varão não provém da mulher, mas a mulher do varão.
9 Also, [God] did not create [the first] man [to help] the woman. Instead, [he] created the woman [to help] the man.
Porque também o varão não foi criado por causa da mulher, mas a mulher por causa do varão.
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].
Portanto, a mulher deve ter sobre a cabeça sinal de poderio, por causa dos anjos.
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.
Todavia, nem o varão é sem a mulher, nem a mulher sem o varão, no Senhor.
Porque, como a mulher provém do varão, assim também o varão provém da mulher, mas tudo de Deus.
13 Consider this for yourselves: Is it proper for [RHQ] women to pray to God while they do not have coverings over their heads?
Julgai entre vós mesmos: é decente que a mulher ore a Deus descoberta?
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]
Ou não vos ensina a mesma natureza que é desonra para o varão ter cabelo crescido?
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].
Mas ter a mulher cabelo crescido lhe é honroso, porque o cabelo lhe foi dado em lugar de véu.
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.
Porém, se alguém quizer ser contencioso, nós não temos tal costume, nem as igrejas de Deus.
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].
Nisto, porém, que vou dizer-vos não vos louvo; porquanto vos ajuntais, não para melhor, senão para pior.
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.
Porque primeiramente ouço que, quando vos ajuntais na igreja, há entre vós dissensões; e em parte o creio.
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!
Porque importa que até haja entre vós heresias, para que os que são sinceros se manifestem entre vós.
20 When you gather together, you [IRO] eat the meal [that you say is to remember the death of] the Lord [Jesus for us].
De sorte que, quando vos ajuntais num lugar, não é para comer a ceia do Senhor.
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].
Porque, comendo, cada um toma antecipadamente a sua própria ceia, de sorte que um tem fome e outro embriaga-se.
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!
Não tendes porventura casas para comer e para beber? Ou desprezais a igreja de Deus, e envergonhais os que nada tem? Que vos direi? louvar-vos-ei? nisto não vos louvo.
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.
Porque eu recebi do Senhor o que também vos ensinei: que o Senhor Jesus, na noite em que foi traido, tomou o pão;
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].”
E, tendo dado graças, o partiu e disse: tomai, comei: isto é o meu corpo que é partido por vós; fazei isto em memória de mim
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].”
Semelhantemente também, depois de ceiar, tomou o cálice, dizendo: Este cálice é o Novo Testamento no meu sangue: fazei isto, todas as vezes que beberdes, em memória de mim.
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].
Porque todas as vezes que comerdes este pão e beberdes este cálice anunciais a morte do Senhor, até que venha.
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].
Portanto, qualquer que comer este pão, ou beber o cálice do Senhor indignamente, será culpado do corpo do sangue do Senhor.
28 Before any believer eats that bread and drinks that wine [MTY], he should think carefully about [what he is doing],
Examine-se pois o homem a si mesmo, e assim coma deste pão e beba deste cálice.
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].
Porque o que come e bebe indignamente, come e bebe para si mesmo o juízo, não discernindo o corpo do Senhor.
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].
Por causa disto há entre vós muitos fracos e doentes, e muitos que dormem.
31 If we would think carefully about what we [are doing], [God] would not judge [and punish] us [like that].
Porque, se nós nos julgassemos a nós mesmos, não seríamos julgados.
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].
Mas, quando somos julgados, somos repreendidos pelo Senhor, para não sermos condenados com o mundo.
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].
Portanto, meus irmãos, quando vos ajuntais para comer, esperai uns pelos outros.
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].
Porém, se algum tiver fome, coma em casa, para que vos não ajunteis para condenação. Quanto às demais coisas, ordena-las-ei quando for.
