1 Corinthians 11
1 [Follow my example], just like I [try to] follow Christ’s example.
Lino konkelani, ame mbuli nenjame ncondakonkelenga Klistu.
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.
Ndamulumbunga pakwinga mulanganukunga mubintu byonse, kayi mulakonkelenga biyisho mbyondalamushiyila.
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.
Nomba ndayandanga kwambeti mwishibeti Klistu endiye mutwi wa mutuloba uliyense. Neye mutuloba endiye mutwi wa mutukashi, neye Lesa endiye mutwi wa Klistu.
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].
Na mutuloba pa kupaila nambi pa kushinshima kaliwalifweka kumutwi ukute kunyansha mutwi wakendi.
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.
Neye mutukashi pakupaila nambi pa kushinshima kali wabula kulifweka kumutwi ukute kunyansha mutwi wakendi. Uliya kupusana ne mutukashi ngobalacese munkunyu.
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].
Na mutukashi ubula kulifweka kumutwi, cilicena kucesa mishishi yakendi. Pakwinga nicansoni mutukashi kucesa munkunyu nambi kucesa mishishi, neco, wela kulifweka kumutwi.
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.
Mutuloba nkalayandikinga kulifweka kumutwi pakwinga ukute kulesha cimo ne bulemu bwa Lesa. Kakuli mutukashi neye ebulemu bwa mutuloba.
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.
Pakwinga mutuloba uliya kupangwa kufuma kumutukashi, nsombi mutukashi endiye walapangwa kufuma kumutuloba.
9 Also, [God] did not create [the first] man [to help] the woman. Instead, [he] created the woman [to help] the man.
Kayi mutuloba uliya kulengwa cebo ca mutukashi sobwe, nsombi mutukashi endiye walalengwa cebo camutuloba.
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].
Neco, cebo ca bintu ibi ne cebo cabangelo, mutukashi alifweke kumutwi kwambeti cibe cilesho ca bulemu mbwakute.
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.
Mubuyumi bwetu muli Lesa, mutukashi nkela kubako kwabula mutuloba nambi mutuloba kubako kwakubula mutukashi.
Mbuli mutukashi ncalapangwa kufuma kumutuloba, neye mutuloba ukute kusemwa kufuma kumutukashi. Ibi byonse byalafuma kuli Lesa.
13 Consider this for yourselves: Is it proper for [RHQ] women to pray to God while they do not have coverings over their heads?
Lino, kamulyomboloshani mobene na ngaciboneka cena kwambeti mutukashi apailenga kuli Lesa nkali wabula kulifweka kumutwi.
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]
Sena, bwikalo bwa buntu bwetu nkabukute kutwiyisheti cikute kupa nsoni mutuloba akutenga mishishi itali?
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].
Nsombi kumutukashi neye ebulemu Lesa mbwalapa mutukashi mishishi itali itali kwambeti imufwekenga kumutwi.
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.
Na pali muntu layandanga kutoteka pamakani awa, afwe nambi mibungano ya Lesa tuliya mwambo naumbi wampaililo wapita uwu sobwe.
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].
Lino, ncondayandanga kumulailila nteti mukondwe naco. Pakwinga mibungano yenu ilabanga yaipa kayi nkayaina.
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.
Cakutanguna ndanyumfungeti mwabungananga pamo mumubungano mulasalulananga. Ndashoma kwambeti mpani makani awa nakubinga.
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!
Nkandatonshanyanga sobwe, pela kuba kupusana miyeyo pakati penu kwambeti abo balenshinga calulama baboneke.
20 When you gather together, you [IRO] eat the meal [that you say is to remember the death of] the Lord [Jesus for us].
Neco mukute mwabungananga pamo nkamukute kulya cakulya ca mansailo ca Mwami sobwe.
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].
Pakwinga mukute kulya kwakusalana cakwinseti nabambi bakute bashala babula cakulya, kakuli nabambi bakute kwinsa kukolewa.
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!
Sena muliya manda enu uko nkomwelela kulyela nekunwinina? Sena mulayandangowa kupesha nsoni mubungano wa Lesa, nekunyalisha abo bantu balabulunga cakulya? Mulayandanga ng'ambeconi? Ndimulumbe sena? Pa bintu ibi nkandelela kumulumba sobwe.
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.
Ciyisho ncondalatambula ku Mwami encondalamupa kwambeti busuba busa mansailo, Mwami Yesu mpwalayabwa walamanta shinkwa,
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].”
mpwalalumbaisha Lesa ne kukomona walambeti “Uwu emubili wakame ngondabengele njamwe. Kamwinsanga ici kuba cakunganukilapo.”
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].”
Kayi copeleco mpobalapwisha kulya walamanta nkomeshi ya waini nekwambeti “Nkomeshi iyi ecipangano ca linolino cilapangwa nemilopa yakame. Cibe cakunganukilapo cindi conse mwanwanga.”
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].
Pakwinga cindi conse mwalyanga shinkwa nekunwina munkomeshi iyi, mukute kukambauka shalufu lwa Mwami mpaka cindi nceti akese.
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].
Ecebo cakendi na muntu uliyense ulya shinkwa uwu nekunwina munkomeshi ya Mwami munshila yabula kwelela, lepishilinga mubili nemilopa ya Mwami.
28 Before any believer eats that bread and drinks that wine [MTY], he should think carefully about [what he is doing],
Neco muntu uliyense katana ulya shinkwa nekunwina munkomeshi iyi alicencete mwine abone nawelela.
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].
Pakwinga na bantu kabalya shinkwa nekunwina mu nkomeshi cakuteshiba mubili wa Klistu nceulapandululunga, bakute kulikwila lombolosho.
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].
Ecebo cakendi bantu bangi pakati penu balatyompwanga kayi balakolwanga nabambi bafwa.
31 If we would think carefully about what we [are doing], [God] would not judge [and punish] us [like that].
Na katulicenceta, nkatwela kwingila mulombolosho lulico sobwe.
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].
Neco Lesa ukute kutupa cisubulo, kwambeti twiye kuba ne mano kwambeti, katutakacanika nemulandu pamo nebantu bacinka manungo pabintu byapa cishi capanshi.
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].
Neco, mobanse bame, batuloba ne batukashi, cindi ncomulabungananga pamo kulya Mulalilo wa Mwami kamupembelanga banenu.
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].
Uliyense lanyumfunga nsala alyele limo cakulya kung'anda kwakendi kwambeti kamutaliletela cisubulo cindi ncomulabungananga pamo. Bintu nabimbi mbyondabulu kwamba ninkese nkabyambe ndakesa.
