1 Corinthians 11
1 [Follow my example], just like I [try to] follow Christ’s example.
Sed imitadores de mí, como yo también lo soy 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.
Ahora bien, os alabo, hermanos, porque os acordáis de mí en todo y mantenéis firmes las tradiciones, tal como os las entregué.
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.
Pero quiero que sepáis que la cabeza de todo hombre es Cristo, y la cabeza de la mujer es el hombre, y la cabeza de Cristo es Dios.
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 hombre que ora o profetiza con la cabeza cubierta, deshonra su cabeza.
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.
Pero toda mujer que ora o profetiza con la cabeza descubierta, deshonra su cabeza. Porque es lo mismo que si se afeitara.
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].
Porque si la mujer no se cubre, que se le corte también el cabello. Pero si es vergonzoso que la mujer se corte el pelo o se afeite, que se cubra.
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.
Porque el hombre no debe cubrirse la cabeza, porque es imagen y gloria de Dios, pero la mujer es la gloria del hombre.
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 el hombre no procede de la mujer, sino la mujer del hombre;
9 Also, [God] did not create [the first] man [to help] the woman. Instead, [he] created the woman [to help] the man.
pues el hombre no fue creado para la mujer, sino la mujer para el hombre.
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].
Por eso la mujer debe tener autoridad sobre su propia cabeza, a causa de los ángeles.
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.
Sin embargo, ni la mujer es independiente del hombre, ni el hombre es independiente de la mujer, en el Señor.
Porque así como la mujer procede del hombre, también el hombre procede de la mujer; pero todo procede de Dios.
13 Consider this for yourselves: Is it proper for [RHQ] women to pray to God while they do not have coverings over their heads?
Juzguen ustedes mismos. ¿Es apropiado que una mujer ore a Dios sin velo?
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]
¿Acaso no os enseña la misma naturaleza que si un hombre tiene el pelo largo, es una deshonra para él?
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].
Pero si una mujer tiene el cabello largo, es una gloria para ella, pues su cabello le es dado para cubrirse.
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.
Pero si alguno parece ser pendenciero, no tenemos esa costumbre, ni tampoco las asambleas de Dios.
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].
Pero al daros esta orden no os alabo, porque os reunís no para lo mejor, sino para lo peor.
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, en primer lugar, cuando os reunís en la asamblea, oigo que existen divisiones entre vosotros, y en parte lo creo.
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 también es necesario que haya divisiones entre vosotros, para que se manifiesten entre vosotros los que son aprobados.
20 When you gather together, you [IRO] eat the meal [that you say is to remember the death of] the Lord [Jesus for us].
Por tanto, cuando os reunís, no es la cena del Señor lo que coméis.
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 en vuestra comida cada uno toma primero su propia cena. Uno tiene hambre, y otro está borracho.
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!
¿Acaso no tenéis casas donde comer y beber? ¿O acaso despreciáis la asamblea de Dios y avergonzáis a los que no tienen suficiente? ¿Qué debo decirles? ¿Debo alabarte? En esto no te alabo.
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 he recibido del Señor lo que también os he transmitido: que el Señor Jesús, la noche en que fue entregado, tomó pan.
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].”
Después de dar gracias, lo partió y dijo: “Tomad, comed. Esto es mi cuerpo, que es partido por vosotros. Haced esto en memoria mía”.
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].”
De la misma manera tomó también la copa después de la cena, diciendo: “Esta copa es la nueva alianza en mi sangre. Haced esto, cuantas veces que bebáis, en memoria mía”.
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 las veces que comáis este pan y bebáis esta copa, proclamaréis la muerte del Señor hasta que venga.
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].
Por tanto, quien coma este pan o beba la copa del Señor de manera indigna, será culpable del cuerpo y de la sangre del Señor.
28 Before any believer eats that bread and drinks that wine [MTY], he should think carefully about [what he is doing],
Pero que el hombre se examine a sí mismo, y así coma del pan y beba de la copa.
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 el que come y bebe de manera indigna, come y bebe juicio para sí mismo, si no discierne el cuerpo del Señor.
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 eso muchos de vosotros están débiles y enfermos, y no pocos duermen.
31 If we would think carefully about what we [are doing], [God] would not judge [and punish] us [like that].
Porque si nos discernimos a nosotros mismos, no seríamos juzgados.
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].
Pero cuando somos juzgados, somos disciplinados por el Señor, para que no seamos condenados con el 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].
Por tanto, hermanos míos, cuando os reunáis para comer, esperaos unos a otros.
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].
Pero si alguno tiene hambre, que coma en su casa, para que vuestra reunión no sea para ser juzgada. Lo demás lo pondré en orden cuando venga.
