1 Corinthians 11
1 Be ye imitators of me, even as I also am of Christ.
Amwiiye ndime, mbuli mbwendi sikwiiya wa Kkilisitu.
2 Now I praise you that ye remember me in all things, and hold fast 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 Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ 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, dishonoureth his head.
Kufumbwa mwalumi ukomba nekuba kusinsima kavumbide kumutwe wakwe wawubula mutwe wakwe.
5 But every woman praying or prophesying with her head unveiled dishonoureth her head: for it is one and the same thing as if she were shaven.
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 veiled, let her also be shorn: but if it is a shame to a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be veiled.
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 veiled, forasmuch as 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 the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man:
Nkambo mwalumi takalengwa kuzwa kumwanakazi. Anukuti mwanakazi wakalengwa kuzwa kumwalumi.
9 for neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man:
Nkabela teensi mwalumi wakalengelwa mwanakazi. Anukuti, mwanakazi wakalengelwa mwalumi.
10 for this cause ought the woman to have [a sign of] authority on her head, because of the angels.
Nchenchicho mwanakazi nchayelede kuba chitondezyo chabulemu amutwe wakwe, nkambo kabaangelo.
11 Howbeit neither is the woman without the man, nor the man without the woman, in the Lord.
Nekubaboobo, mu Mwami, mwanakazi taponi chakulyiminina katakwe mwalumi, naba mwalumi taponi chakulyiminina katakwe mwanakazi wakwe.
12 For as the woman is of the man, so is the man also by the woman; but all things are of God.
Mbuli mwanakazi mbwazwa kumwalumi, alakwe mwalumi uzwa kumwanakazi. Alimwi zintu zyonse zizwa kuli Leza.
13 Judge ye in yourselves: is it seemly that a woman pray unto God unveiled?
Amulibeteke nobeni: Saa chililuleme kuti mwanakazi kakomba kuli Leza amutwe wakwe kutavumbidwe?
14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have 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 have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given 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 seemeth to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.
Pesi kuti umwi wayanda atala azeezi, tatukwe nechiba chimwi chaanza, neziba mbungano zya Leza.
17 But in giving you this charge, I praise you not, that ye 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 ye come together in the church, I hear that divisions exist among you; and I partly believe it.
Nkabela lutanzi, ndilamvwa kuti nemuswanana mumbungano, kuli mipampo mipampo akati kanu, alimwi mubuche ndilasyoma.
19 For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.
Nkenkaako kulelede alimwi tubunga tubuna akati kanu, kuchitila kuti abo bakalomesegwa ngabala libonia akati kenu.
20 When therefore ye assemble yourselves together, it is not possible to eat the Lord’s supper:
Nkenkaako nemubungana, tensi nchilyo chamwami nchemulya.
21 for in your eating each one taketh before [other] his own supper; and 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? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and put them to shame that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not.
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 of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, how that the Lord Jesus in the night in which he was betrayed took bread;
Eelyo ndakatambula kuzwa ku Mwami makani ngendakamusiila, kuti Mwami Jesu, mansiku nakaabwa, wakatola chibune.
24 and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, This is my body, which is for you: this do in remembrance of me.
Musule akupa kulumba, wakachikwamuna akwamba kuti, “Oyu mubili wangu, nonguwe wenu. Muchiite obu kukundiyeya ndime.”
25 In like manner also the cup, after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood: this do, as oft as ye drink [it], in remembrance 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 ye eat this bread, and drink the cup, ye proclaim the Lord’s death till he come.
Kuchindi choonse nchemulya echi chibunge akunywa eyi nkomeki, kamuyeeya lufu lwa Mwami mane akaboole.
27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat the bread or drink the cup of the Lord unworthily, shall 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 prove 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 that eateth and drinketh, eateth and drinketh judgment unto himself, if he discern not the body.
Alakwe oyo uulya akunywa katalililinguli mubili walya akunywa lubeta kulinguwe mwini.
30 For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep.
Nkenkako biingi akati kanu mulamana manguzu akuchiswa, alimwi bamwi benu bafwa.
31 But if we discerned ourselves, we should not be judged.
Pesi kuti twalilingula tobeni, tatukoyo betekwa.
32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.
Pesi elyo notubetekwa a Mwami, tulalulamikwa, kuchitila kuti tutakabetekwi anyika.
33 Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, wait one for another.
Nkeenkako, nobakwesu, nemuswanana antomwe kukulya, amulindane.
34 If any man is hungry, let him eat at home; that your coming together be not unto judgment. And the rest will I set in order whensoever I come.
Naa umwi wenu wafwanzala, mumuleke akalye kumunzi, kuchitila kuti nemuswanana antomwe kutakabi kwalubeta. Alimwi atala aamwi makani ngemwakalemba, ndiyomupa malayilile elyo ndasika.
