1 Corinthians 11

1 Be imitators of me, even as I also am of Christ.

Hu zamu, towa mi huza Yesu.

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.

Zizanyi, mi gbreyi san niwa bi 'taka mu ni ko ngyeri. Mi gbreyi sar nitu wa bi rji njii tre ba ngbangban me towa mi nna yi'a.

3 But I would have you know that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.

Zizanyi me son ndu yi toh ndi Kristi mba hi tu' u lilon, u lilon hi tu' u' wa, u ndi Irji hi tu' Kristi.

4 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head.

U lilon wa a tie aduwa ka a to' tsu ni tu' ma i kika', a tsri tu' ma.

5 But every woman praying or prophesying with her head uncovered dishonors her head. For it is one and the same thing as if she were shaved.

Twa' waa a tie aduwa ka a to tsuni tu' msa ni wuo'a tsri tu'ma. Ahe towa a ndi na kron tu'maa.

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.

U iwa ni ta'na ka' tu'ma na, ka' kron nfu tu'a, tie kpunkpu. Wa' ani taa kpye u shan ndu wa kron ngbolo ka ndu kron tu'ma wa' ka kaa' tu'ma.

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.

Lilon na ka' tuma na, ni wa ahi yu' nda hi kpan kristi U wa ahi kpan u lilon.

8 For man is not from woman, but woman from man;

Bana ti lilon rji ni wa' na. Ahi wa. mba ba tie rji ni lilon.

9 for man was not created for the woman, but woman for the man.

U bana tie lilon ni wa' ni. Ahi wa' mba ba tie wu ni lilon.

10 For this cause the woman ought to have authority over her own head, because of the angels.

Ani tu kimayi a mla ndu wa' he ni ngban u ngbengblen ni tuma, don malaiku.

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

U nakime ni Baci, iwa na' son tuma nkon ni lilon na, towaa lilon na' son tuma nkan ni wa na.

12 For as woman came from man, so a man also comes through a woman; but all things are from God.

Towaa i'wa' ye rji ni lilon, na kima me lilon ye rji ni wa'. U kpi wawuu ba rji ni Rji.

13 Judge for yourselves. Is it appropriate that a woman pray to God unveiled?

Ban ya kimbi: a bi ndu wa' tie a duwa ni Rji ni tuma wuo?

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

Yaa u Ndji me na tsroyi ndi lilon nita he ni ngbondo nfutu ahi kpatsri niwu na?

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

Yaa u ndji me na tsro yi ndi wa' nita he ni ngbondo nufutu, ahi kpan ni wu na. nfutu ma a' nno ka'.

16 But if any man seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither do God’s assemblies.

U indjio' nita son sen nyu ni waa, kie na he ni ikpyeri nkan wa ba tie 'a na, ko ni ba coci u Rji mba.

17 But in giving you this command I do not praise you, because you come together not for the better but for the worse.

U ni tre biyi ba, mina gbre yi san na. Niwa bita ye kii kabi, ana u mla tie ndindi na, ani u kpa hlo tie meme.

18 For first of all, when you come together in the assembly, I hear that divisions exist among you, and I partly believe it.

Uni u mumla, mi wo ndi bita ye kabi ni mi coci, bi gatu' kpambi, wa ni nkon ri mi kpany'me.

19 For there also must be factions among you, that those who are approved may be revealed among you.

E ahi gbigbi ndu gatu ndu he ni mi mbi, n'du ba' toh wa' ba nyme ni ba' ni mi mbi.

20 When therefore you assemble yourselves together, it is not the Lord’s supper that you eat.

E bi taye ki kambi, an'a jibi Baci mba bi rli na.

21 For in your eating each one takes his own supper first. One is hungry, and another is drunken.

Bita rli, ko' nha ni rli uma guci ni mbru ba. U yon ka tie ri, uri ka wua.

22 What, do not you have houses to eat and to drink in? Or do you despise God’s assembly and put them to shame who do not have enough? What shall I tell you? Shall I praise you? In this I do not praise you.

Bi na he ba koh wa bi rli ndi so'a na? Bi kpa coci Rji tsri ndi ni tie wa bana he kpye'a ya? Mi tre ngye ni yiwu? Mi gbre yi san? Mina gbre yi san ni tu wa na.

23 For I received from the Lord that which also I delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night in which he was betrayed took bread.

E mi kpa kpye wa mi nno yyi ngme rji ni Rji, wa Baci mu Yesu, nivi wa ba le' ni wu'a a ban bredi.

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.”

Niwa a ngyri ni tuma, a mre wu nda tre din, “Iwa yi hi kpamu, waa ahi 'u mbi'a Tie wayi ndi ka taka mu”

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.”

Tokima me a ban kofi a' nda tre, “kofi yi ahi shirji sisa u mi yii mu. Tie wa brubru ni nton wa bi so' a, ndi taka mu. d'bu iki wu Baci hi nivi u k'ma ye ma.

26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.

U inton wa bi tan bredi yi'a ndi so ni kofi yia biki.

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.

U waa a tsatsa tan ka nda so ni kofi u Baci ni nkon wa ana bi'a na ani latre ni kpa u ni yii u Baci.

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

Ndu ndji tsra kpama rli nda tan bredi'a nda so ni kofi'a.

29 For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy way eats and drinks judgment to himself if he does not discern the Lord’s body.

I waa a tan nda so hama ni tsra kpama, tan nda so tron ni tu'ma.

30 For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep.

Ahe nitu kima bari mbi gbugbu wuu ba grji ngble nda ni lo, u bari mbi na ku kurna

31 For if we discerned ourselves, we would not be judged.

U kita tsra kpambu, itron navu tana.

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

U anita Baci mba ni tron ni tawu, u kie tie ndindi, ni ndu kie ka tie meme ni ngbungblu'a na.

33 Therefore, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.

Tokima, imyri vayimu, biti ye ki kambi ndi ni tan, bika gben kpambi.

34 But if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest your coming together be for judgment. The rest I will set in order whenever I come.

Iwa iyon ni tie wu'a, ka rli ni koh, to bina ye ki kambi ana ni u tron na uni tu kpyi bari wa bi nha mita ye mu yoyi ni nkon.
