1 Khawrin 11
1 Khrih kah mueiloh neh ka om bangla kai kah mueiloh la om uh.
Imitate me, as I myself imitate Christ.
2 Tahae ah nangmih loh a cungkuem la kai nan poek uh dongah kan koeh. Nangmih taengah kan tloeng vanbangla singyoe te na tuuk uh.
I praise you, indeed, because you never forget me, and are keeping my injunctions in mind, exactly as I laid them on you.
3 Tedae tongpa boeih kah a lu tah Khrih ni tila nangmih te ming sak ham ka ngaih. Tongpa tah huta kah a lu la om. Pathen tah Khrih kah a lu la om.
But I am anxious that you should understand that the Christ is the head of every man, that man is the head of woman, and that God is the head of the Christ.
4 Tongpa boeih loh thangthui vaengah khaw, olphong vaengah khaw a lu a khuk atah a lu te yah a poh sak.
Any man who keeps his head covered, when praying or preaching in public, dishonors him who is his head;
5 Tedae huta boeih loh a lu te sampham la thangthui tih, a phong vaengah a lu te yah a poh sak. Pakhat long khaw te tlam te a om vaengah tah amah te samvo la om coeng.
while any woman, who prays or preaches in public bare-headed, dishonors him who is her head; for that is to make herself like one of the shameless women who shave their heads.
6 Te dongah huta loh sam a khoem pawt atah rhuep saeh. Tedae a rhuep khaw a vok khaw huta ham a rhaidaeng oeh atah khoem saeh.
Indeed, if a woman does not keep her head covered, she may as well cut her hair short. But, since to cut her hair short, or shave it off, marks her as one of the shameless women, she should keep her head covered.
7 Tongpa ngawn tah Pathen kah mueimae neh thangpomnah la a om dongah lu a muek ham a kuek moenih. Tedae huta tah tongpa kah thangpomnah ni.
A man ought not to have his head covered, for he has been from the beginning the likeness of God and the reflection of his glory, but woman is the reflection of man’s glory.
8 tongpa tah huta lamloh om pawt tih huta ni tongpa lamloh aka om.
For it was not man who was taken from woman, but woman who was taken from man.
9 tongpa tah huta kongah khaw suen pawt tih tongpa kongah huta a suen.
Besides, man was not created for the sake of woman, but woman for the sake of man.
10 Te dongah puencawn rhoek rhangneh huta loh lu soah saithainah a khueh ham a kuek.
And, therefore, a woman ought to wear on her head a symbol of her subjection, because of the presence of the angels.
11 Tedae Boeipa dongah tongpa mueh la huta om thai pawt tih huta mueh la tongpa om thai pawh.
Still, when in union with the Lord, woman is not independent of man, or man of woman;
12 Huta tah tongpa lamkah a om vanbangla tongpa tah huta lamloh om van bal. Tedae a cungkuem tah Pathen taeng lamkah ni a om.
for just as woman came from man, so man comes by means of woman; and all things come from God.
13 Nangmih khuiah anih te laitloek uh lah. Huta loh Pathen taengah sampham la a thangthui ham te rhoep nim?
Judge for yourselves. Is it fitting that a woman should pray to God in public with her head uncovered?
14 Tongpa loh a hlun atah amah ham rhaidaeng la om. Te a coengnah loh nangmih n'thuituen mahnim?
Does not nature herself teach us that, while for a man to wear his hair long is degrading to him,
15 Tedae huta loh a hlun atah amah ham thangpomnah la om. Samtoel te anih ham himbai la a paek.
a woman’s long hair is her glory? Her hair has been given her to serve as a covering.
16 Tedae khat khat loh olpungkacan la om tila a poek atah kaimih loh tebang khosing ka khueh uh moenih. Pathen kah hlangboel rhoek long khaw a khueh uh moenih.
If, however, anyone still thinks it right to contest the point – well, we have no such custom, nor have the churches of God.
17 He he kang uen vaengah kang koeh pawt khaw a then ham pawt tih a thae ham na khoong uh dongah ni.
In giving directions on the next subject, I cannot praise you; because your meetings do more harm than good.
18 Lamhma ah ngawn tah hlangboel la na tingtun uh. Tedae nangmih taengah paekboenah om tila ka yaak tih cungvang ah ka tangnah.
To begin with, I am told that when you meet together as a church there are divisions among you. In part I believe this,
19 Te dongah nangmih ah buhlaelh khaw a om ham a kuek. Te daengah ni nangmih khuikah ueppang hlang te khaw mingpha la a om eh.
indeed, there must be parties among you, so that the people of real worth become known.
20 Hmuen pakhat la na khoong uh tangloeng dae Boeipa hlaembuh na caak uh moenih a?
When you meet together, as I understand, it is not possible to eat the Lord’s Supper;
21 Hlaembuh a caak uh vaengah amah amah loh rhip a sawn uh. Te vaengah pakhat tah pong tih pakhat tah rhui.
for, as you eat, each of you tries to secure his own supper first, with the result that one has too little to eat, and another has too much to drink!
22 Te dongah caak ham neh ok ham te im na khueh uh pawt moenih a? Pathen kah hlangboel khaw na poeih uh. Aka khueh mueh rhoek te khaw yah na poh sakuh. Nangmih ham balae ka thui lah eh. Hekah dongah nangmih te kan koeh venim. Kan koeh pawt venim.
Have you no houses in which you can eat and drink? Or are you trying to show your contempt for the church of God, and to humiliate the poor? What can I say to you? Should I praise you? In this matter I cannot praise you.
23 Kai tah Boeipa taengkah ka dang te ni nangmih kan doe van. Boeipa Jesuh loh a voeih hlaem ah vaidam a loh tih,
For I myself received from the Lord the account which I have in turn given to you – how the Lord Jesus, on the very night of his betrayal, took some bread,
24 a uem phoeiah a aeh tih, “Ka pum he tah nangmih ham ni. Kai poekkoepnah ham hekah he saii uh,” a ti.
and, after saying the thanksgiving, broke it and said “This is my own body given on your behalf. Do this in memory of me.”
25 Te vanbangla a vael uh phoeiah boengloeng te khaw a loh tih, “Hekah boengloeng tah ka thii dongkah paipi thai ni. Na ok uh takuem ah kai poekkoepnah ham hekah he saii uh,” a ti.
And in the same way with the cup, after supper, saying “This cup is the new covenant made by my blood. Do this, whenever you drink it, in memory of me.”
26 He vaidam he na caak uh tih boengloeng na ok uh takuem atah Boeipa kah dueknah te amah ha pawk duela doek uh.
For whenever you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death – until he comes.
27 Te dongah pahoeh palaeh la vaidam aka ca tih Boeipa boengloeng aka o te tah Boeipa kah a pum neh a thii te yook kuekluek saeh.
Therefore, whoever eats the bread, or drinks the Lord’s cup, in an irreverent spirit, will have to answer for an offense against the Lord’s body and blood.
28 Tedae hlang loh amah te a nuemnai phoeiah vaidam khaw ca saeh lamtah boengloeng khaw o saeh.
Let everyone look into their own heart, and only then eat of the bread and drink from the cup.
29 Aka ca tih aka o loh a pum te a boelhkhoeh muehla a caak a ok vaengah amah taengah lai la om.
For the person who eats and drinks brings a judgment on themselves by their eating and drinking, when they do not discern the body.
30 He kongah nangmih khuikah a yet loh na tattloel uh tih a ngen tah na tlo uh tih na ip uh.
That is why so many among you are weak and ill, and why some are sleeping.
31 Te dongah amah la m'boelhkhoeh uh atah laitloek uh boel mai sih.
But, if we judged ourselves rightly, we should not be judged.
32 Tedae Boeipa lamkah a laitloek loh n'ueih sak uh daengah ni Diklai taengah m'boe pawt eh.
Yet, in being judged by the Lord, we are undergoing discipline, so that we may not have judgment passed on us with the rest of the world.
33 Te dongah ka manuca rhoek, caak ham na khoong uh vaengah khat neh khat rhing uh thae.
Therefore, my friends, when you meet together to eat the Supper, wait for one another.
34 Pakhat loh a pong atah a im ah han ca saeh. Te daengah ni laitloek la na khoong uh pawt eh. A tloe te ka pawk vaengah khaw kang uen uh bitni.
If anyone is hungry, they should eat at home, so that your meetings may not bring a judgment on you. The other details I will settle when I come.
