1 Corinthians 11
1 [Follow my example], just like I [try to] follow Christ’s example.
Будьте наслідувачами мене, як і я 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.
Похваляю ж вас, браття, що ви все моє пам'ятаєте, і захо́вуєте так переда́ння, як я вам 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.
Хо́чу ж я, щоб ви знали, що всякому чоловікові голова — Христос, а жінці голова — чоловік, голова ж Христові — 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 чи пророкує з головою покритою, — осоромлює він свою го́лову.
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 чи пророкує з головою відкритою, осоромлює тим свою го́лову, бо це є те саме, як була́ б вона виголена.
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].
Бо коли жінка не покривається, хай стрижеться вона; коли ж жінці сором стри́гтися чи голитися, 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.
Отож, чоловік покривати голови не повинен, бо він образ і слава Бога, а жінка — чоловікові слава.
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.
Бо чоловік не 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.
не ство́рений бо чоловік ради жінки, але жінка ради 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 повина мати на голові знака вла́ди над нею, ради анголів.
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.
Одначе в Господі ані чоловік без жінки, ані жінка без чоловіка.
Бо як жінка від чоловіка, так і чоловік через жінку; а все — 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?
Поміркуйте самі між собою, чи присто́йне воно, щоб жінка молилася Богові непокрита?
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]
Чи ж природа сама вас не вчить, що коли чоловік запускає воло́сся, то безчестя для нього?
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].
Коли ж жінка ко́су запускає, — це слава для неї, бо замість покрива́ла да́на коса́ їй.
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.
Коли ж хто сперечатися хоче, — ми такого звича́ю не маємо, ані Церкви́ Божі.
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].
Пропонуючи це вам, я не хвалю́, що збираєтесь ви не на ліпше, а на гірше.
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.
Бо найперше, я чую, що як схо́дитесь ви на збо́ри, то між вами бувають поді́лення, у що почасти я й 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!
Бо мусять між вами й поділи бути, щоб відкрились між вами й досвідчені.
20 When you gather together, you [IRO] eat the meal [that you say is to remember the death of] the Lord [Jesus for us].
А далі, коли ви збираєтесь ра́зом, то не на те, щоб їсти Господню Вече́рю.
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].
Бо кожен спішить з'їсти власну вече́рю, і один голодує, а другий впивається.
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 ж ви не маєте хат, щоб їсти та пити? Чи ви зневажаєте Божу Церкву, і осоромлюєте немаю́чих? Що маю сказати вам? Чи за це похвалю́ вас? Не похвалю́!
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.
Бо прийняв я від Господа, що й вам передав, що Господь Ісус ночі тієї, як ви́даний був, 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].”
подяку віддав, і переломив, і сказав: „Прийміть, споживайте, це тіло Моє, що за вас лома́ється. Це робіть на спомин 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 і чашу взяв Він по Вечері й сказав: „Ця чаша — Нови́й Заповіт у Моїй крові. Це робіть, коли тільки бу́дете пити, на спомин 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].
Бо кожного ра́зу, як будете їсти цей хліб та чашу цю пити, — смерть Господню звіщаєте, аж доки Він при́йде.
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].
Тому то, хто їстиме хліб цей чи питиме чашу Господню негідно, — буде винний супроти тіла та крови Господньої!
28 Before any believer eats that bread and drinks that wine [MTY], he should think carefully about [what he is doing],
Нехай же люди́на випробо́вує себе, і так нехай хліб їсть і з чаші хай п'є.
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].
Бо хто їсть і п'є негі́дно, не розважаючи про тіло, той суд собі їсть і п'є!
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].
Через це поміж вами багато недужих та хворих, і багато-хто засну́ли.
31 If we would think carefully about what we [are doing], [God] would not judge [and punish] us [like that].
Бо коли б ми самі судили себе, то засу́джені ми не були́ б.
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].
Та засу́джені від Господа, караємося, щоб нас не засу́джено з 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].
Ось тому́, мої браття, схо́дячись на поживу, чека́йте один о́дного.
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].
А коли хто голодний, нехай вдома він їсть, щоб не схо́дилися ви на о́суд. А про інше, як прийду́, заряджу́.
