1 Corinthians 11
1 Be imitators of me, even as I also am of Messiah.
Amwiiye ndime, mbuli mbwendi sikwiiya wa Kkilisitu.
2 Now I praise you, brothers, that you remember me in all things, and hold firm the traditions, even as I delivered them to you.
Lino ndilamulumbayizya nkambo mulajatisisya kutunsiyansiya mbuli mbondakamwambila.
3 But I would have you know that the head of every man is Messiah, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Messiah is God.
Lino ndiyanda kuti mumvwisye kuti Kkilisito nguwe mutwe wamwanakazi akuti Leza mutwe wa Kkilisitu.
4 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonours his head.
Kufumbwa mwalumi ukomba nekuba kusinsima kavumbide kumutwe wakwe wawubula mutwe wakwe.
5 But every woman praying or prophesying with her head uncovered dishonours her head. For it is one and the same thing as if she were shaved.
Pesi kufumbwa mwanakazi ukomba nekuba kusinsima kavumbide mutwe wakwe ulawubula mutwe wakw. Aboobo chilikozyenie akuti mutwe wakwe wakululwa.
6 For if a woman is not covered, let her hair also be cut off. But if it is shameful for a woman to have her hair cut off or be shaved, let her be covered.
Nkabela kuti mwanakazi tavumba mutwe wakwe, uleelede kugela masusu aakwe afwimpe. Na chitawusisya insoni kuti mwanakazi agele masusu naa kukululwa mutwe wakwe, avumbe mutwe wakwe.
7 For a man indeed ought not to have his head covered, because he is the image and glory of God, but the woman is the glory of the man.
Nkabela mwalumi tayelede kuvumba mutwe wakwe, nkambo kakuti nchikozyanisyo chabulemu bwa Leza. Pesi mwanakazi mbulemu bwamwaalumi.
8 For man is not from woman, but woman from man;
Nkambo mwalumi takalengwa kuzwa kumwanakazi. Anukuti mwanakazi wakalengwa kuzwa kumwalumi.
9 for man wasn’t created for the woman, but woman for the man.
Nkabela teensi mwalumi wakalengelwa mwanakazi. Anukuti, mwanakazi wakalengelwa mwalumi.
10 For this cause the woman ought to have authority over her own head, because of the angels.
Nchenchicho mwanakazi nchayelede kuba chitondezyo chabulemu amutwe wakwe, nkambo kabaangelo.
11 Nevertheless, neither is the woman independent of the man, nor the man independent of the woman, in the Lord.
Nekubaboobo, mu Mwami, mwanakazi taponi chakulyiminina katakwe mwalumi, naba mwalumi taponi chakulyiminina katakwe mwanakazi wakwe.
12 For as woman came from man, so a man also comes through a woman; but all things are from God.
Mbuli mwanakazi mbwazwa kumwalumi, alakwe mwalumi uzwa kumwanakazi. Alimwi zintu zyonse zizwa kuli Leza.
13 Judge for yourselves. Is it appropriate that a woman pray to God unveiled?
Amulibeteke nobeni: Saa chililuleme kuti mwanakazi kakomba kuli Leza amutwe wakwe kutavumbidwe?
14 Doesn’t even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonour to him?
Saa bulenwe bwanu tabumuyiisyi kuti naa mwalumi waba amasusu malamfu, nkutalemeka kwakwe?
15 But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her, for her hair is given to her for a covering.
Bulengwe bwanu tabumuyiisyi naa kuti mwanakazi aaba amasusu malamfu, mbulemu bwakwe? Nkambo masusu akwe akapegwa kulinuwe mbuli chilivumbyo.
16 But if any man seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither do God’s assemblies.
Pesi kuti umwi wayanda atala azeezi, tatukwe nechiba chimwi chaanza, neziba mbungano zya Leza.
17 But in giving you this command I don’t praise you, because you come together not for the better but for the worse.
Pesi mumalayilile atobela, tandikonzyi kumutembawula. Nikuba nemubungana, tensi nkwakubotya pesi nkwakubisya.
18 For first of all, when you come together in the assembly, I hear that divisions exist amongst you, and I partly believe it.
Nkabela lutanzi, ndilamvwa kuti nemuswanana mumbungano, kuli mipampo mipampo akati kanu, alimwi mubuche ndilasyoma.
19 For there also must be factions amongst you, that those who are approved may be revealed amongst you.
Nkenkaako kulelede alimwi tubunga tubuna akati kanu, kuchitila kuti abo bakalomesegwa ngabala libonia akati kenu.
20 When therefore you assemble yourselves together, it is not the Lord’s supper that you eat.
Nkenkaako nemubungana, tensi nchilyo chamwami nchemulya.
21 For in your eating each one takes his own supper first. One is hungry, and another is drunken.
Nemulya, awumwi awumwi ulya kulya kwakwe mwini bamwi kabatana kujana chilyo chabo. Umwi waba anzala, alimwi umwi wakolwa.
22 What, don’t you have houses to eat and to drink in? Or do you despise God’s assembly and put them to shame who don’t have enough? What shall I tell you? Shall I praise you? In this I don’t praise you.
Tamukwe maanda na mukalye akunywida mukati? Mulasampawulana imbungano ya Leza akulangilila aansi abo batakwe nzebalazyo? Ngambe buti kulindinywe? Ndimutembawule na? Nsikomutembawula nkambo kazeezi!
23 For I received from the Lord that which also I delivered to you, that the Lord Yeshua on the night in which he was betrayed took bread.
Eelyo ndakatambula kuzwa ku Mwami makani ngendakamusiila, kuti Mwami Jesu, mansiku nakaabwa, wakatola chibune.
24 When he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “Take, eat. This is my body, which is broken for you. Do this in memory of me.”
Musule akupa kulumba, wakachikwamuna akwamba kuti, “Oyu mubili wangu, nonguwe wenu. Muchiite obu kukundiyeya ndime.”
25 In the same way he also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink, in memory of me.”
Mbubonya obo wakatola nkomeki musule achilalilo, alimwi wakati, “Eyi nkomeki nchizuminano chipya chabulowa bwanu. Amuchite boobo muzyindi nemubunywa, kuti mukandiyeeye.”
26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.
Kuchindi choonse nchemulya echi chibunge akunywa eyi nkomeki, kamuyeeya lufu lwa Mwami mane akaboole.
27 Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks the Lord’s cup in a way unworthy of the Lord will be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.
Nkabela, oyo, uulya chibune nawanywa inkomeki ya Mwami munzila italuleme uyoba amulandu wamubili abulowa bwa Mwami.
28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup.
Muleke muntu alilingule lwakwe chakusanuna, alimwi muleyi inzila amumuleke alye chibune akunywa munkomeki.
29 For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy way eats and drinks judgement to himself if he doesn’t discern the Lord’s body.
Alakwe oyo uulya akunywa katalililinguli mubili walya akunywa lubeta kulinguwe mwini.
30 For this cause many amongst you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep.
Nkenkako biingi akati kanu mulamana manguzu akuchiswa, alimwi bamwi benu bafwa.
31 For if we discerned ourselves, we wouldn’t be judged.
Pesi kuti twalilingula tobeni, tatukoyo betekwa.
32 But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.
Pesi elyo notubetekwa a Mwami, tulalulamikwa, kuchitila kuti tutakabetekwi anyika.
33 Therefore, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.
Nkeenkako, nobakwesu, nemuswanana antomwe kukulya, amulindane.
34 But if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest your coming together be for judgement. The rest I will set in order whenever I come.
Naa umwi wenu wafwanzala, mumuleke akalye kumunzi, kuchitila kuti nemuswanana antomwe kutakabi kwalubeta. Alimwi atala aamwi makani ngemwakalemba, ndiyomupa malayilile elyo ndasika.
