1 Corinthians 11
1 Become imitators of me, —even as, I also, [am] of Christ.
Munikengame nenga, Kati na nenga ninkengamite Kristo.
2 Now I praise you, that, in all things, ye have me in remembrance, and, even as I delivered unto you the instructions, ye hold them fast.
Nambeambe naasifu kwasababu ya yamunikombokii nenga katki makowe gati. Nabasifu kwa kuwa mugakamwi mapokeo kati yaniyaletike kwinu.
3 But I wish you to know—that, the head of every man, is, the Christ, and, the head of a woman, is, the man; and, the head of the Christ, is, God.
Bai nataka mutange ya kuwa Kristo ni Ntwe wa kila nnalome, ni ywembe nnalome nga ntwe wa nnwawa, ni ya kuwa Nnongo nga ntwe wa Kristo.
4 Every man, praying, or prophesying, having anything upon his head, putteth to shame his head;
Kila nnalome ywaloba au ywaboywa unabii mana atipunika ntwe wake atiuabisha ntwe wake.
5 But, every woman, praying, or prophesying, with her head, unveiled, putteth to shame her head, —for it is, one and the same, with her having been shaven.
Lakini kila nnwawa ywaloba au boywa unabii ali abile ni ntwe wake wazi atiuaibisha ntwe wake. Kwa mana ni sawa na kati atinyolewa.
6 For, if a woman doth not veil herself, let her also be shorn; but, if it were a shame in a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be veiled.
Mana itei kati nnwawa apunika kwaa ntwe wake, ni akatwe nywili yake ipangike kuwa mwipi. Mana paibile ni oni ya nnwawa kukata nywili yake au nyolewa, bai apunike ntwe wake.
7 For, a man, indeed, ought not to be veiling his head, being, the image and glory of God, —but, the woman, is the glory of man;
Mana apalikwa kwaa nnalome kupunika ntwe wake, kwa kuwa ywembe mpwano na utukufu wa Nnongo. Lakini nwawani utukufu wa nnalome.
8 For, man, is not, of woman, but, woman, of man;
Mana nnalome abokana kwaa ni nwawa. Ila nwawa abokana ni nnalome.
9 For also man was not created, for the sake of the woman, but woman, for the sake of the man.
Wala nnalome aumbilwa kwaa kwa ajili ya nnwawa. Ila nwawa aumbilwe kwa ajili ya nnalome.
10 For this cause, ought the woman to have, permission, upon her head, because of the messengers.
Ayee nga sababu nwawa apalikwa kuwa na ishara ya mamlaka nnani ya ntwe wake, kwa sababu ya malaika.
11 Howbeit, neither is woman apart from man, nor man apart from woman—in the Lord;
Hata nyoo, katika Ngwana, nwawa abile kwaa kichake bila nnalome, au nnalome bila nwawa.
12 For, just as the woman is of the man, so, also the man, is through means of the woman; —but, all things, are of God.
Maana kati ya nwawa aboka kwa nnalome, nyonyonyo nnalome aboka kwa nwawa. Ni ilebe yote uboka kwa Nnongo.
13 Among your own selves, judge ye, —Is it becoming for a woman, —unveiled, to be praying unto God?
Muhukumu mwabene: Je! ibile sahihi nnwawa annobe Nnongo hali ya ntwe wake ubile wazi?
14 Doth not, even nature herself, teach you—that, if, a man, have long hair, it is a dishonour to him;
Je hata asili kichake haiwafundishi kwaa ya kuwa nnalome abile ni nywili ndefu ni oni kwake?
15 But, if, a woman, have long hair, it is a glory to her, for, her long hair, instead of a veil, hath been given to her.
Je asili aiwapundhi kwaa kuwa nwawa mana abile ni nywili ndefu ni utukufu kwake? Mana apeilwe nywili ndefu kati ngobo yake.
16 But, if anyone thinketh to be contentious, we, have no such custom, —nor yet the assemblies of God.
Lakini mana itei mundu yoyote apala bishana nnani ya lee, twenga twabile kwaa ni namna yenge, wala likanisa lya Nnongo.
17 But, in giving you the following charge, I praise you not, —in that, not for the better, but for the worse, ye come together.
Mu'maagizo yaaisa, nenga niasifia kwaa. Mana mana mukusanywike, kwa faida kwaa ila kwa hasara.
18 For, first of all, —when ye come together in assembly, I hear that divisions among you exist, —and, in part, I believe it;
Mana kwanza, niyowine ya kuwa mkutanapo mulikanisa, kwabile ni mgawanyiko kati yinu, ni kwa sehemu nendaaminiya.
19 For there must needs be, even parties among you, that, the approved, [themselves] may become manifest among you.
Kwa mana ni lazima ibe misuguano nkati yinu, ili kwamba balo balioyeketelwa bayowanike kwinu.
20 When, therefore, ye come together into one place, it is not to eat, a supper unto the Lord;
Kwa mana mana mukutanike, cha mulyaa ni chakulya kwaa cha Ngwana.
21 For, each one, taketh beforehand, his own supper, in your eating, and, one, indeed, is hungry, whereas, another, is drinking to excess.
Mwenda lyaa, kila yumo ulyaa chakulya chake mwene kabla wenge balyaa kwaa. hata yolo abile ni njala, ni yolo ywalewite.
22 What! have ye not houses for your eating and drinking? or, the assembly of God, do ye despise, and, put to shame them who have nothing? What am I to say to you? Shall I praise you? In this, I praise you not.
Je ntopo nyumba ya kulyaa ni nywaa? Je mwalidharau likanisa lya Nnongo ni kubafedhehesha babile kwaa ni kilebe? Nilongele namani kwinu? Nibasifu? nalowa kwasifu kwaa kwa lee.
23 For, I myself, received from the Lord—that which I also delivered unto you, —how that, the Lord Jesus, in the night in which he was being delivered up, took a loaf,
Mana natipokya boka kwa Ngwana chelo chanipeilwe ni mwenga ya kuwa Ngwana Yesu, kilo chelo paasalitilwe, atiutola nkate.
24 And, giving thanks, brake it, and said—This, is my body, which is for you, —this, do ye, in remembrance of me;
Baada ya shukuru, atiutekwana ni kubaya, “Ayee nga yega yango, wabile kwa ajili yinu. Mupange nyaa kwa kunikombokya nenga.”
25 In the same manner, the cup also, after they had taken supper, saying—This cup, is, the new covenant in my blood, this, do ye, as often soever as ye may be drinking it, in remembrance of me.
Nga nyonyonyo atitola kikombe baada ya kulyaa, no baya, “Kikombe chelo nga agano lyayambe katika mwai bango. Mupange nyoo mara ganansima kila pa'munywea, kwa kunikombokya nenga.”
26 For, as often as ye may be eating this loaf, and, the cup, may be drinking, The death of the Lord, do ye announce, until he come.
Kwa kila muda pamulyaa nkate woo ni kuinywea ikombe, mwaitangaza kiwo sa Ngwana mpaka paaisile.
27 So that, whosoever may be eating the loaf, or drinking the cup of the Lord, in an unworthy manner, shall be responsible for the body and blood of the Lord.
Kwa eyo, kila ywa alya nkate au nywea kikombe chelo cha Ngwana istahiliya kwaa, alowa ipatia hatia ya yega ni mwai ya Ngwana.
28 But let a man be proving himself, —and, so, of the loaf, let him eat, and, of the cup, let him drink;
Mundu kannaluya mwene kwanza, na nyoo alyee nkate, ni kuinywea kikombe.
29 For, he that is eating and drinking, —judgment unto himself, doth eat and drink, —if he be not setting apart the body.
Maana ywa lyaa ni nywaa bila kuutafsiri yega, ulyaa ni nywaa hukumu yake mwene.
30 For this cause, many among you are weak and sickly; and, not a few, are falling asleep.
Ayee nga sababu ya bandu baingi nkati yinu ni atamwe ni dhaifu, ni baadhi yinu bawile.
31 If, however, we had been setting, ourselves, apart, we had not, in that case, been coming under judgment;
Lakini mana tuichunguza twabene twalowa hukumilwa kwaa.
32 But, being brought under judgment, by the Lord, are we being disciplined, lest, with the world, we should be condemned.
Ila twahukumilwa ni Ngwana, twarudiwa, ili kana tuise hukumilwa pamope ni dunia.
33 So then, my brethren, —when ye come together for the eating, unto one another, be giving welcome: —
Kwa eyo, ainja ni alombo bango, mana mukwambine mpate lyaa, musubiriane.
34 If anyone be hungry, at home, let him eat, lest, unto judgment, ye be coming together. And, the remaining things, whensoever I come, I will set in order.
Mundu mana abile ni njala, ni alyee munyumba yake, ili mana mukwembine mpamo ibile kwaa kwa hukumu. Na kuhusu makowe yenge yamugaandikile, nalowa kuwaelezea mana niisile.
