1 Corinthians 11
1 [Follow my example], just like I [try to] follow Christ’s example.
Mesih'i örnek aldığım gibi, siz de beni örnek alın.
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.
Her durumda beni anımsadığınız ve size ilettiğim öğretileri olduğu gibi koruduğunuz için sizi övüyorum.
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.
Ama şunu da bilmenizi isterim: Her erkeğin başı Mesih, kadının başı erkek, Mesih'in başı da Tanrı'dır.
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].
Başına bir şey takıp dua ya da peygamberlik eden her erkek, başını küçük düşürür.
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.
Ama başı açık dua ya da peygamberlik eden her kadın, başını küçük düşürür. Böylesinin, başı tıraş edilmiş bir kadından farkı yoktur.
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].
Kadın başını açarsa, saçını kestirsin. Ama kadının saçını kestirmesi ya da tıraş etmesi ayıpsa, başını örtsün.
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.
Erkek başını örtmemeli; o, Tanrı'nın benzeri ve yüceliğidir. Kadın da erkeğin yüceliğidir.
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.
Çünkü erkek kadından değil, kadın erkekten yaratıldı.
9 Also, [God] did not create [the first] man [to help] the woman. Instead, [he] created the woman [to help] the man.
Erkek kadın için değil, kadın erkek için yaratıldı.
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].
Bu nedenle ve melekler uğruna kadının başı üzerinde yetkisi olmalıdır.
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.
Ne var ki, Rab'de ne kadın erkekten ne de erkek kadından bağımsızdır.
Çünkü kadın erkekten yaratıldığı gibi, erkek de kadından doğar. Ama her şey Tanrı'dandır.
13 Consider this for yourselves: Is it proper for [RHQ] women to pray to God while they do not have coverings over their heads?
Siz kendiniz karar verin: Kadının açık başla Tanrı'ya dua etmesi uygun mu?
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]
Doğanın kendisi bile size erkeğin uzun saçlı olmasının kendisini küçük düşürdüğünü, kadının uzun saçlı olmasının ise kendisini yücelttiğini öğretmiyor mu? Çünkü saç kadına örtü olarak verilmiştir.
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].
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.
Bu konuda çekişmek isteyen varsa, şunu bilsin ki, bizim ya da Tanrı'nın kiliselerinin böyle bir alışkanlığı yoktur.
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].
Toplantılarınız yarardan çok zarar getirdiği için aşağıdaki uyarıları yaparken sizi övemem.
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.
Birincisi, toplulukça bir araya geldiğinizde aranızda ayrılıklar olduğunu duyuyorum. Buna biraz da inanıyorum.
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!
Çünkü Tanrı'nın beğenisini kazananların belli olması için aranızda bölünmeler olması gerekiyor!
20 When you gather together, you [IRO] eat the meal [that you say is to remember the death of] the Lord [Jesus for us].
Toplandığınızda Rab'bin Sofrası'na katılmak için toplanmıyorsunuz.
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].
Her biriniz ötekini beklemeden kendi yemeğini yiyor. Kimi aç kalıyor, kimi sarhoş oluyor.
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!
Yiyip içmek için evleriniz yok mu? Tanrı'nın topluluğunu hor mu görüyorsunuz, yiyeceği olmayanları utandırmak mı istiyorsunuz? Size ne diyeyim? Sizi öveyim mi? Bu konuda övemem!
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.
Size ilettiğimi ben Rab'den öğrendim. Ele verildiği gece Rab İsa eline ekmek aldı, şükredip ekmeği böldü ve şöyle dedi: “Bu sizin uğrunuza feda edilen bedenimdir. Beni anmak için böyle yapın.”
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].”
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].”
Aynı biçimde yemekten sonra kâseyi alıp şöyle dedi: “Bu kâse kanımla gerçekleşen yeni antlaşmadır. Her içtiğinizde beni anmak için böyle yapın.”
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].
Bu ekmeği her yediğinizde ve bu kâseden her içtiğinizde, Rab'bin gelişine dek Rab'bin ölümünü ilan etmiş olursunuz.
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].
Bu nedenle kim uygun olmayan biçimde ekmeği yer ya da Rab'bin kâsesinden içerse, Rab'bin bedenine ve kanına karşı suç işlemiş olur.
28 Before any believer eats that bread and drinks that wine [MTY], he should think carefully about [what he is doing],
Kişi önce kendini sınasın, sonra ekmekten yiyip kâseden içsin.
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].
Çünkü bedeni farketmeden yiyip içen, böyle yiyip içmekle kendi kendini mahkûm eder.
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].
İşte bu yüzden birçoğunuz zayıf ve hastadır, bazılarınız da ölmüştür.
31 If we would think carefully about what we [are doing], [God] would not judge [and punish] us [like that].
Kendimizi doğrulukla yargılasaydık, yargılanmazdık.
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].
Dünyayla birlikte mahkûm olmayalım diye Rab bizi yargılayıp terbiye ediyor.
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].
Öyleyse kardeşlerim, yemek için bir araya geldiğinizde birbirinizi bekleyin.
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].
Aç olan karnını evde doyursun. Öyle ki, toplanmanız yargılanmanıza yol açmasın. Öbür sorunları ise geldiğimde çözerim.
