< 1 Corinthians 11 >
1 Be imitators of me, even as I also am of Messiah.
我も自らキリストに倣へる如く、汝等我に倣へ。
2 Now I praise you, that you remember me in all things, and hold firm the traditions, even as I delivered them to you.
第一項 集會の時に避くべき弊害 第三編 祭式に関する問題 兄弟等よ、我汝等が何事に於ても我を記憶し、汝等に傳へし如く我教を守るを賞す。
3 But I would have you know that the head of every man is Messiah, and the head of the woman is the man, and the head of Messiah is God.
然るに我汝等の之を知らん事を欲す、即ち凡ての男の頭はキリスト、女の頭は男、キリストの頭は神なり。
4 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head.
総て男は頭に物を被りて祈祷し預言すれば其頭を辱め、
5 But every woman praying or prophesying with her head unveiled dishonors her head. For it is one and the same thing as if she were shaved.
総て女は頭に物を被らずして祈祷し預言すれば却て其頭を辱む、是剃髪せるに等しければなり。
6 For if a woman is not covered, let her also be shorn. But if it is shameful for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered.
蓋女もし物を被らずば髪を剪るべし、然れど髪を剪り或は剃る事を女に取りて耻とせば、頭に物を被るべし。
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.
男は神の像にして又光榮なれば物を被るべきに非ず、然れど女は男の光榮なり、
8 For man is not from woman, but woman from man;
是男は女よりに非ずして女は男よりせり、
9 for neither was man created for the woman, but woman for the man.
男は女の為に造られずして、女は男の為に造られたればなり。
10 For this cause the woman ought to have authority on her head, because of the angels.
此故に女は天使等に對して、[戴ける]権利[の徴]を頭に有つべきなり。
11 Nevertheless, neither is the woman independent of the man, nor the man independent of the woman, in the Lord.
然りながら主に在りては、男なくしては女あらず、女なくしては男あらざるなり、
12 For as woman came from man, so a man also comes through a woman; but all things are from God.
蓋女が男よりせし如く、男も亦女を以て生り、而して一切は神より出づ。
13 Judge for yourselves. Is it appropriate that a woman pray to God unveiled?
汝等自ら判断せよ、物を被らずして神に祈祷する事、女に取りて相應しからんや。
14 Doesn't even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him?
自然其物も亦教ふるに非ずや。即ち男髪を起つれば身に取りて耻なれども、
15 But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her, for her hair is given to her for a covering.
女の髪を起つるは身の誉なり、是女は被物として髪を與へられたればなり。
16 But if anyone seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither do God's churches.
假令之を抗弁ふと見ゆる人はありとも、我等にも神の諸教會にも斯る慣例は存せざるなり。
17 But in giving you this command, I do not praise you, that you come together not for the better but for the worse.
我之を命じて汝等を賞せず、其は集りて善く成らず、却て惡しく成ればなり。
18 For first of all, when you come together in the church, I hear that divisions exist among you, and I partly believe it.
先汝等が教會として集る時分裂ありと聞けば、我幾分か之を信ず。
19 For there also must be factions among you, that those who are approved may be revealed among you.
蓋汝等の中に是認せられたる人の顕れん為には、異端さへ起るべき筈なるをや。
20 When therefore you assemble yourselves together, it is not the Lord's supper that you eat.
然れば汝等が一に集る時は、最早主の晩餐を食せんとには非ず。
21 For in your eating each one takes his own supper first. One is hungry, and another is drunk.
蓋各前に己が晩餐を食するが故に、飢ゑたる人あれば酩酊したる人もあり。
22 What, do you not have houses to eat and to drink in? Or do you despise God's church, and put them to shame who do not have? What should I tell you? Should I praise you? In this I do not praise you.
飲食する為には自宅にあるに非ずや、或は神の教會を軽んじて乏しき人を辱めんとするか、汝等に何をか謂ふべき、汝等を賞せんか、我之をば賞せざるなり。
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.
蓋我が主より承りて汝等にも傳へし所にては、主イエズス付され給へる夜に當りて麪を取り、
24 When he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, "This is my body, which is for you. Do this in memory of me."
謝して之を擘き、然て曰く、汝等取りて食せよ、是は汝等の為に付さるべき我體なり、汝等我記念として之を為せ、と。
25 In the same way he also took the cup, after the meal, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink, in memory of me."
晩餐の後同じく杯を取りて曰く、此杯は我血に於る新約なり、飲む度毎に汝等我記念として之を為せ、と。
26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.
蓋主の來り給ふまで、汝等此麪を食し又杯を飲む度毎に、主の死を示すなり。
27 Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks the Lord's cup in a manner unworthy will be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.
故に誰にもあれ相應しからずして此麪を食し、或は主の杯を飲まん人は、主の御體と御血とを犯さん。
28 But let a person examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread, and drink of the cup.
然れば人は己を試し、然して後彼麪を食し杯を飲むべし。
29 For he who eats and drinks eats and drinks judgment to himself, if he does not discern the body.
其は相應しからずして飲食する人は、主の御體を弁へず、己が宣告を飲食する者なればなり。
30 For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep.
此故に汝等の中には、病める者弱れる者多く、且死せる者多し。
31 For if we discerned ourselves, we would not be judged.
我等もし自ら審かば審かるる事なからん、
32 But when we are judged, we are punished by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.
審かるるも、其は此世と共に罪せられざらん為に主より懲され奉るなり。
33 Therefore, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait one for another.
然れば我兄弟等よ、食せんとて集る時、互に待合はせよ。
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.
飢たる人あらば、汝等が集りて審かるる事を免れん為に、自宅にて食事すべし。其他の事は我至らん時之を定めん。
