1 Corinthians 11
1 [Follow my example], just like I [try to] follow Christ’s example.
Mufuate ani ndeshe ani shihufuata UKristi. Ishi imbatima pipo muhunkumbuha humambo ganti.
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.
Imbatima mugakhata amaposhelo ndeshe shingaletile humwinyu.
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.
Ishi ihwanza mumanye aje uKristi litwe lya kila nume, wope yenume litwe lya kila nshi, na huje Ungulubhi litwe lya Kristi.
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].
Kila nume yaputa afumye ubhunabii itwa lyakwe libhanje ligubibashe na ahulikenyensya itwe lyakwe.
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.
Kila nshiyalabha au afumye uunabii abhanje agubishe itwe lyakwe nkesaga agubiha itwe ahulikenyensya itwe lyakwe. Pipo alisawa nu muntu yasyenkuye isisi.
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].
Nke unshi agubishe itwe lyakwe asyenkule insinsi zyakwe ziwe mfupi. Maana zyinso umuntu unshi asyenkule insisi zyakwe au akatwe basi azigubishe itwe lyakwe.
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.
Si hwanziwa unume agubishe itwe lyakwe, pipo umwene shifani ishi tuntumu uwa Ngulubhi. Lakhini tuntumu uwanume.
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.
Unume sagahafumile hwa nshi ila unshi ahafumiline nu nume.
9 Also, [God] did not create [the first] man [to help] the woman. Instead, [he] created the woman [to help] the man.
Unume saga abhumbilwe kwajili ya nnshi. Ila unshi ahabhumbilwe kwajili ya nume.
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].
Ndyo maana unshi ahwanziwa abhe ishala na mamlaka hwitwe lyakwe kwa sababub ya malaika.
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.
Hata shimisho hwa Gosi, unshi nuno bila nume au unume nila nshi, unume numo.
Maana ndeshe unshi nkahafumile hwa nume, shishila unume ahafumiline nu nshi. Ni vintu vyonti vifuma hwa Ngulubhi.
13 Consider this for yourselves: Is it proper for [RHQ] women to pray to God while they do not have coverings over their heads?
Muyilonje mwimimwi: Lyoli! unshi apute Ungulubhi bila agubishe itwe lyakwe?
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]
Afume imandi sebhamanyizya iya huje unume nkabha ni nsisi intali tuntumhukwakwe? maana apewilwe zila insisi intali ndeshe umwanda 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].
Je afume imandi sebhamanyizya huje unshi nkabha ni nsisi intali tuntumu wakwe?
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.
Maana apewilwe zila insisi intali ndeshe umwenda wakwe. Nku umuntu wowonti ahwanza adalisye wala ishibhanza sha Ngulubhi.
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].
Hundajizyo zyezihwinza, ani sihubhatima. Maana amwi lwe mubhungana se hwi faida ila huhasala.
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.
Maana ihumvwa, huje lwe mubhungana mshibhanza, huli nu lugabhanyo kati yinyu nani hadodo ihwitiha.
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!
Kwa ihwanziwa zibhe intaamyo kati yinyu aje bhabhaala, bhebhitihwilwe bhamanyishe hulimwe.
20 When you gather together, you [IRO] eat the meal [that you say is to remember the death of] the Lord [Jesus for us].
Maana lemubhungana shemulya seshalye sha Gosi.
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].
Lwe mulya kila muntu alya ishalye shakwe yuya kabla ya bhanji sebhaliye. hata unu ali ni nzala, unu akholilwe.
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!
Je semuli ni nyumba iyalile na mwelele? Je mzarabhunye ishibhanza sha Ngulubhi na hubhapele insoni bhesebhali na Hantu? Njanje henu hulimwe? Imbatime? Simbatuma hwi 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.
Maana nahaposhile afume hwa Gosi shila shimbapiye amwi aje Ugosi uYeesu, usiku alongwa ahejile ikati.
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].”
Baada ya salifye, abhuvunzile naje ubhu wembili wani, “Ubhu we mbili wani, wewili kwaajili yinyu. Mubhombe ishi hunkumbushe ani.”
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].”
Nashinishi ahejile inshikombe baada yalye, naje “Ishikombe ishi ndajizyo midanda lyani.” Mbhombe ishi hahinji kila le mumwela hwa hunkumbushe ani.”
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].
Uwakati wowonti lemulya ishalye ishi na hushimwelele ishikombe, mlumbilila ufwewa Yesu mpaka lwa hayiyinza.
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].
Kwa hiyo wowonti ya lya ishalye au hushimwelele ishikombe isho isha Yesu sheyihwanziwa, abhabhe ayipiye ubhibhi wimbili ni danda lya Yesu.
28 Before any believer eats that bread and drinks that wine [MTY], he should think carefully about [what he is doing],
Umuntu ayibhuzilizye yuyo asuti, nkalyanje ishalye na mwelele ishikombe.
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].
Maana yalya na mwele bila asubhilile ubili alya na mwele alongwe hwakwe yuyo.
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].
Nduyo maana abhantu abhinji bhabhinu bhamo bhafwiye.
31 If we would think carefully about what we [are doing], [God] would not judge [and punish] us [like that].
Lakhini nke twayenya timti setahayilongwa ishibhakaka.
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].
Ila lyetilongwa nu Yesu, tiwelwa ili huje tisahalongwe peka ni nnsi.
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].
Ishi, bhakaka na dada bhani, lwe mubhungama mpate alye, mugulilane.
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].
Umuntu nkani nzala alye hukhaya yakwe hujelwe mubhungana peka nsahabhe hulongwi humambo aganjige msimbile naibhabhuzya lyenayiyinza.
