1 Corinthians 11
1 [Follow my example], just like I [try to] follow Christ’s example.
Будьте моїми послідовниками, як і я [наслідую] Христа.
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.
Хвалю вас за те, що ви в усьому згадуєте мене та дотримуєтесь настанов так, як я вам їх передав.
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.
Проте я хочу, щоб ви знали: Головою кожного чоловіка є Христос, головою жінки – чоловік, а Головою Христа – Бог.
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].
Кожен чоловік, що молиться або пророкує з покритою головою, ганьбить свою Голову.
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.
І кожна жінка, що молиться або пророкує з непокритою головою, ганьбить свою голову, бо для неї це те саме, що бути з поголеною [головою].
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].
Адже якщо жінка не покриває [голови], то нехай і обстрижеться! Але якщо для жінки соромно бути обстриженою чи поголеною, то нехай покривається!
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.
Чоловік, будучи образом і славою Бога, не повинен покривати голову, а жінка – це слава чоловіка.
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.
Адже не чоловік [походить] від жінки, але жінка – від чоловіка,
9 Also, [God] did not create [the first] man [to help] the woman. Instead, [he] created the woman [to help] the man.
і не чоловік був створений для жінки, але жінка – для чоловіка.
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].
Тому жінка повинна мати на голові [знак] влади заради ангелів.
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.
Однак у Господі – ні чоловік без жінки, ні жінка без чоловіка.
Бо як жінка – від чоловіка, так і чоловік – через жінку, але все [походить] від Бога.
13 Consider this for yourselves: Is it proper for [RHQ] women to pray to God while they do not have coverings over their heads?
Судіть самі: чи годиться жінці молитися Богу непокритою?
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]
Хіба сама природа речей не вчить вас, що для чоловіка ганебно мати довге волосся,
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].
а якщо жінка має довге волосся, то це слава для неї? Бо волосся дано їй замість покривала.
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.
Якщо ж хтось бажає посперечатися, то ні ми, ні Божі церкви такого звичаю не маємо.
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].
Даючи вам ці настанови, я не хвалю [вас], бо ви збираєтеся разом не на користь, а на шкоду.
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.
Передусім я чую, що коли ви збираєтеся разом у церкві, то між вами існують розділення, і я частково [цьому] вірю.
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!
Звісно, так треба, щоб між вами були різні угрупування, аби виявилися перевірені.
20 When you gather together, you [IRO] eat the meal [that you say is to remember the death of] the Lord [Jesus for us].
Коли ви збираєтеся разом, ви не споживаєте Вечері Господньої,
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].
адже, перш ніж споживати її, кожен їсть свою вечерю, тож хтось голодує, а хтось напивається.
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!
Хіба ви не маєте домів, щоб їсти й пити? Чи, може, ви зневажаєте церкву Божу та хочете осоромити тих, що не мають [нічого]? Що мені вам сказати? Похвалити вас? За це я [вас] не похвалю.
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.
Адже я прийняв від Господа те, чого вас навчив: Господь Ісус у ніч, коли був зраджений, узяв хліб
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].”
та, подякувавши, розламав і дав їм, кажучи: «Це є тіло Моє для вас. Чиніть це на згадку про Мене».
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].”
Так само після вечері взяв і чашу, кажучи: «Ця чаша – Новий Завіт у Моїй крові. Кожного разу, як п’єте її, чиніть це на згадку про Мене».
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].
Адже щоразу, коли ви їсте цей хліб і п’єте з цієї чаші, ви звіщаєте смерть Господа, поки Він не прийде.
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].
Той, хто їстиме цей хліб і питиме цю чашу недостойно, буде винний перед тілом та кров’ю Господа.
28 Before any believer eats that bread and drinks that wine [MTY], he should think carefully about [what he is doing],
Нехай людина перевірить себе й лише потім їсть із хліба та п’є з чаші.
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].
Адже хто їсть і п’є негідно, не розрізняючи тіла [Господнього], їсть і п’є на власний осуд.
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].
Тому серед вас багато слабких і хворих, та чимало тих, що сплять.
31 If we would think carefully about what we [are doing], [God] would not judge [and punish] us [like that].
Але якби ми перевіряли самих себе, то не були б судимі.
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].
Проте коли Господь нас судить, то [Він] повчає нас, щоб ми не були судимі разом зі світом.
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].
Тож, брати мої, збираючись, щоб їсти, чекайте одне одного.
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].
Якщо хтось голодний, то нехай їсть вдома, щоб ви не збиралися для суду. Про інше я роздам указівки, коли прийду.
