1 كورنثوس 11

١ 1 فَاقْتَدُوا بِي كَمَا أَقْتَدِي أَنَا بِالْمَسِيحِ!

Become my imitators, just as I am Christ's.

٢ 2 إِنِّي أَمْدَحُكُمْ لأَنَّكُمْ تَذْكُرُونَنِي فِي كُلِّ أَمْرٍ وَتُحَافِظُونَ عَلَى التَّعَالِيمِ كَمَا سَلَّمْتُهَا إِلَيْكُمْ.

Now I praise you, brothers, that you remember me in all things and hold the traditions just as I delivered them to you.

٣ 3 وَلَكِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ تَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ الْمَسِيحَ هُوَ الرَّأْسُ لِكُلِّ رَجُلٍ؛ أَمَّا رَأْسُ الْمَرْأَةِ فَهُوَ الرَّجُلُ، وَرَأْسُ الْمَسِيحِ هُوَ اللهُ.

But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, while a wife's head is the man and Christ's head is God.

٤ 4 فَكُلُّ رَجُلٍ يُصَلِّي أَوْ يَتَنَبَّأُ، وَعَلَى رَأْسِهِ غِطَاءٌ، يَجْلِبُ الْعَارَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ.

Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head.

٥ 5 وَكُلُّ امْرَأَةٍ تُصَلِّي أَوْ تَتَنَبَّأُ، وَلَيْسَ عَلَى رَأْسِهَا غِطَاءٌ، تَجْلِبُ الْعَارَ عَلَى رَأْسِهَا، لأَنَّ كَشْفَ الْغِطَاءِ كَحَلْقِ الشَّعْرِ تَمَاماً.

But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her own head—it is one and the same as if it had been shaved.

٦ 6 فَإِذَا كَانَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ لَا تُغَطِّي رَأْسَهَا، فَلْيُقَصَّ شَعْرُهَا! وَلَكِنْ، مَادَامَ مِنَ الْعَارِ عَلَى الْمَرْأَةِ أَنْ يُقَصَّ شَعْرُهَا أَوْ يُحْلَقَ، فَلْتُغَطِّ رَأْسَهَا.

So if a woman does not cover herself, let her also be shorn. But if it is shameful for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered.

٧ 7 ذَلِكَ لأَنَّ الرَّجُلَ عَلَيْهِ أَلّا يُغَطِّيَ رَأْسَهُ، بِاعْتِبَارِهِ صُورَةَ اللهِ وَمَجْدَهُ. وَأَمَّا الْمَرْأَةُ فَهِيَ مَجْدُ الرَّجُلِ.

Indeed, a man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man.

٨ 8 فَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَمْ يُؤْخَذْ مِنَ الْمَرْأَةِ، بَلِ الْمَرْأَةُ أُخِذَتْ مِنَ الرَّجُلِ؛

For man did not come from woman, but woman from man;

٩ 9 وَالرَّجُلُ لَمْ يُوجَدْ لأَجْلِ الْمَرْأَةِ، بَلِ الْمَرْأَةُ وُجِدَتْ لأَجْلِ الرَّجُلِ.

and neither was man created for the woman, but woman for the man

١٠ 10 لِذَا يَجِبُ عَلَى الْمَرْأَةِ أَنْ تَضَعَ عَلَى رَأْسِهَا عَلامَةَ الْخُضُوعِ، مِنْ أَجْلِ الْمَلائِكَةِ.

—for this reason the woman needs to have authority upon her head, because of the angels—

١١ 11 غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ فِي الرَّبِّ لَيْسَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ مِنْ دُونِ الرَّجُلِ، وَلا الرَّجُلُ مِنْ دُونِ الْمَرْأَةِ.

nevertheless, in the Lord neither is man independent of woman nor woman independent of man.

١٢ 12 فَكَمَا أَنَّ الْمَرْأَةَ أُخِذَتْ مِنَ الرَّجُلِ، فَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ يَكْتَمِلُ بِالْمَرْأَةِ، وَإِنَّمَا كُلُّ شَيْءٍ هُوَ مِنَ اللهِ.

Because as the woman came from the man, so also the man comes through the woman; but all things are from God.

١٣ 13 فَاحْكُمُوا إِذَنْ بِأَنْفُسِكُمْ: أَمِنَ اللّائِقِ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ الْمَرْأَةُ إِلَى اللهِ وَهِيَ مَكْشُوفَةُ الرَّأْسِ؟

Judge among yourselves: is it proper for a woman to pray to God uncovered?

١٤ 14 أَمَا تُعَلِّمُكُمُ الطَّبِيعَةُ نَفْسُهَا أَنَّ إِرْخَاءَ الرَّجُلِ شَعْرَهُ عَارٌ عَلَيْهِ،

Does not nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him?

١٥ 15 فِي حِينِ أَنَّ إِرْخَاءَ الْمَرْأَةِ لِشَعْرِهَا مَفْخَرَةٌ لَهَا، لأَنَّ الشَّعْرَ أُعْطِيَ لَهَا بِمَثَابَةِ حِجَابٍ.

But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her, because that hair has been given for a covering.

١٦ 16 أَمَّا إِذَا رَغِبَ أَحَدٌ فِي إِظْهَارِ الْمُشَاكَسَةِ، فَلَيْسَ لَنَا نَحْنُ مِثْلُ هَذِهِ الْعَادَةِ وَلا لِكَنَائِسِ اللهِ!

But if anyone decides to be contentious, neither we nor the congregations of God have any other practice.

١٧ 17 عَلَى أَنِّي، إِذْ أَنْتَقِلُ الآنَ لأُوصِيَكُمْ بِهَذَا، لَسْتُ أَمْدَحُكُمْ، لأَنَّ اجْتِمَاعَاتِكُمْ تَضُرُّ أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا تَنْفَعُ.

Now in giving the following instruction I do not praise you, since you are not coming together for the better but for the worse.

١٨ 18 فَأَوَّلاً، سَمِعْتُ أَنَّكُمْ، حِينَ تَجْتَمِعُ جَمَاعَتُكُمْ، يَكُونُ بَيْنَكُمْ شِقَاقٌ. وَأَكَادُ أُصَدِّقُ ذَلِكَ،

Because, to begin, I hear that when you come together in an assembly there are divisions among you, and I partly believe it.

١٩ 19 لأَنَّهُ لابُدَّ مِنْ وُجُودِ خِلافَاتٍ بَيْنَكُمْ، حَتَّى يَبْرُزَ الْفَاضِلُونَ فِيكُمْ.

For there would really need to be factions among you so that the ‘approved’ ones may be recognized among you.

٢٠ 20 فَحِينَ تَجْتَمِعُونَ مَعاً فِي مَكَانٍ وَاحِدٍ، لَا تَجْتَمِعُونَ لأَكْلِ عَشَاءِ الرَّبِّ،

So when you come together in one place, it is not to eat the Lord's Supper.

٢١ 21 لأَنَّ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ يَسْبِقُ غَيْرَهُ لِيَتَنَاوَلَ عَشَاءَهُ الْخَاصَّ، فَيَظَلُّ الْوَاحِدُ جَائِعاً، وَيَشْرَبُ الآخَرُ حَتَّى يَسْكَرَ!

Because in eating, each one tries to get his meal first, and one goes hungry while another gets drunk!

٢٢ 22 أَفَلَيْسَ عِنْدَكُمْ بُيُوتٌ تَأْكُلُونَ وَتَشْرَبُونَ فِيهَا؟ أَمْ إِنَّكُمْ تَحْتَقِرُونَ كَنِيسَةَ اللهِ وَتُهِينُونَ الَّذِينَ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ شَيْئاً؟ فَمَاذَا أَقُولُ لَكُمْ؟ أَأَمْدَحُكُمْ؟ عَلَى هَذَا لَسْتُ أَمْدَحُكُمْ!

Now really, do you not have houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise God's congregation, and humiliate those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? Indeed not!

٢٣ 23 فَإِنِّي قَدْ تَسَلَّمْتُ مِنَ الرَّبِّ مَا سَلَّمْتُكُمْ إِيَّاهُ. وَهُوَ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ يَسُوعَ، فِي اللَّيْلَةِ الَّتِي أُسْلِمَ فِيهَا، أَخَذَ خُبْزاً،

For I received from the Lord that which I also transmitted to you: The Lord Jesus, during the night in which He was betrayed, took bread;

٢٤ 24 وَشَكَرَ، ثُمَّ كَسَّرَ الْخُبْزَ وَقَالَ: «هَذَا هُوَ جَسَدِي الَّذِي يُكْسَرُ مِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ اعْمَلُوا هَذَا لِذِكْرِي».

and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said: “Take, eat; this is my body that is being broken on your behalf; do this in remembrance of me.”

٢٥ 25 وَكَذَلِكَ أَخَذَ الْكَأْسَ بَعْدَ الْعَشَاءِ، وَقَالَ: «هَذِهِ الْكَأْسُ هِيَ الْعَهْدُ الْجَدِيدُ بِدَمِي اعْمَلُوا هَذَا، كُلَّمَا شَرِبْتُمْ، لِذِكْرِي».

In the same way, after they had dined, He took the cup, saying: “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.”

٢٦ 26 إِذَنْ، كُلَّمَا أَكَلْتُمْ هَذَا الْخُبْزَ وَشَرِبْتُمْ هَذِهِ الْكَأْسَ، تُعْلِنُونَ مَوْتَ الرَّبِّ، إِلَى أَنْ يَرْجِعَ.

For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death, until He comes.

٢٧ 27 فَمَنْ أَكَلَ الْخُبْزَ، أَوْ شَرِبَ كَأْسَ الرَّبِّ بِغَيْرِ اسْتِحْقَاقٍ، يَكُونُ مُذْنِباً تُجَاهَ جَسَدِ الرَّبِّ وَدَمِهِ.

So then whoever eats this bread or drinks the Lord's cup unworthily will be guilty of the body and of the blood of the Lord.

٢٨ 28 وَلكِنْ، لِيَفْحَصِ الإِنْسَانُ نَفْسَهُ، ثُمَّ يَأْكُلْ مِنَ الْخُبْزِ وَيَشْرَبْ مِنَ الْكَأْسِ.

But let a man examine himself, and then let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup.

٢٩ 29 لأَنَّ الآكِلَ وَالشَّارِبَ يَأْكُلُ وَيَشْرَبُ الْحُكْمَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ إِذْ لَا يُمَيِّزُ جَسَدَ الرَّبِّ.

Because he who eats and drinks unworthily eats and drinks judgment to himself, not distinguishing the Lord's body.

٣٠ 30 لِهَذَا السَّبَبِ فِيكُمْ كَثِيرُونَ مِنَ الضُّعَفَاءِ وَالْمَرْضَى، وَكَثِيرُونَ يَرْقُدُونَ.

Because of this many among you are weak and sick, and a good many have died.

٣١ 31 فَلَوْ كُنَّا حَكَمْنَا عَلَى نُفُوسِنَا، لَمَا حُكِمَ عَلَيْنَا.

If we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged.

٣٢ 32 وَلكِنْ، مَادَامَ قَدْ حُكِمَ عَلَيْنَا، فَإِنَّنَا نُؤَدَّبُ مِنْ قِبَلِ الرَّبِّ حَتَّى لَا نُدَانَ مَعَ الْعَالَمِ.

But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Lord, so that we may not be condemned with the world.

٣٣ 33 فَيَا إِخْوَتِي، عِنْدَمَا تَجْتَمِعُونَ مَعاً لِلأَكْلِ، انْتَظِرُوا بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضاً.

So then, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.

٣٤ 34 وَإِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ جَائِعاً فَلْيَأْكُلْ فِي بَيْتِهِ، لِكَيْ لَا يَكُونَ اجْتِمَاعُكُمْ لِلْحُكْمِ عَلَيْكُمْ. أَمَّا الْمَسَائِلُ الأُخْرَى، فَعِنْدَمَا آتِي أُرَتِّبُهَا.

But if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest you come together into judgment. And the rest I will set in order when I come.
