1 Corinthians 11
1 Imitators of me do be even as I myself also [am] I myself also [am] of Christ.
Bika lutsokudila, banga minu mamvama bu ndieti sokudila Klisto.
2 I commend now you (brothers *k*) that in all things me you have remembered, and even as I delivered to you the teachings you are keeping.
Ndikuluniemisanga bu lukuthebukilanga moyo mu mambu moso ayi bu lunkebanga malongi banga bu ndilulongila mawu.
3 I want however you to know that of every man the head Christ is, [the] head now of [the] woman [is] the man; [the] head now (*no*) of Christ God.
Vayi thidi luzaba ti: Klisto niandi Pfumu yi kadika bakala, bosi bakala niandi pfumu yi nketo; ayi Nzambi niandi Pfumu yi Klisto.
4 Every man praying or prophesying [anything] on [his] head having he dishonors the head of him.
Diawu dioso bakala wulembo sambila voti wulembo bikula ayi ntu wufutubuna vuezidi Pfumuꞌandi.
5 Every now woman praying or prophesying uncovered with the head dishonors the head (of her; *N(k)O*) one for it is and the same with which shaven.
Vayi woso nketo wulembo sambila voti bikula ayi ntu wukambu fuku, buna vuezidi pfumu andi bila dedikini ayi nketo widi dikungulu.
6 If for not covers her head a woman, also she should be shorn; If [it is] now disgraceful to a woman to be shorn or to be shaven, she should cover her head.
Enati nketo kasi ko ntu wufuku, buna bika bamvuka zitsuki. Vayi enati tsoni kuidi nketo muba zitsuki zivuku voti muba dikungulu buna bika kafuka ntu andi.
7 A man indeed for not ought to cover the head image and glory of God being; (the *no*) woman however [the] glory of man is;
Vayi bakala, kalendi fuka ntu ko, bila bakala niandi mfikula ayi nkembo wu Nzambi. Vayi nketo niandi nkembo wu bakala.
8 Not for is man of woman but woman of man;
Bila bakala kasia bongo mu nketo ko vayi nketo niandi wubongo mu bakala;
9 Truly for not was created man on account of the woman but woman on account of the man;
ayi bakala kasia vangu mu diambu di nketo ko vayi nketo niandi wuvangu mu diambu di bakala.
10 Because of this ought the woman authority to have on the head on account of the angels.
Diawu nketo, mu diambu di zimbasi, kafueti ba ayi dimbu ki lulendo va ntu andi.
11 However neither [is] woman without man nor man without woman in [the] Lord;
Muaki mu Pfumu, nketo kalendi zinga kambu bakala ko ayi bakala kalendi zinga kambu nketo ko.
12 Just as for the woman of the man [is] so also the man through the woman [is], the however all things of God.
Bila banga nketo bu kabongo mu bakala, buawu bobo bakala kabutukila mu nketo vayi bima bioso bimbongongo mu Nzambi.
13 In you yourselves do judge: Becoming is it for a woman revealed to God to pray?
Luzenga beno veka? Didi kuandi diambu di mboti ti nketo kasambila Nzambi ayi ntu wukambu fuku e?
14 (or *K*) Not even nature itself does teach you that a man indeed if he shall have long hair, a dishonor to him it is,
Bila khadulu yi kimutu yikululonga ti diambu di tsoni kuidi bakala mu ba zitsuki zikula e?
15 a woman however if she shall have long hair, glory to her it is? For the long hair instead of a covering has been given to her;
Vayi enati nketo widi ayi zitsuki zikula buna widi nkembo kuidi niandi. Bila bamvana zitsuki zikula mu diambu di kukifuka.
16 If now anyone is inclined contentious to be, we ourselves such custom no [other] have nor the churches of God.
Enati mutu tidi finda ziphaka; beto tuisi ko kifu kioki ayi mabundu ma Nzambi masi ko kifu kioki.
17 In this now (instructing *NK(o)*) not I do praise because not for the better but for the (worse *N(k)O*) you come together.
Mu mambu mama ndieka sonika, ndikadi kuluniemisa bila bu lueti kutakananga, kadi sia ti mu diambu di mamboti meno vayi lueti ku kibivisanga.
18 First indeed for coming together you in (*k*) an assembly I hear divisions among you there to be, and in part it I believe;
Bila va theti, ndilembo wanga ti zikhabunu zidi va khatitsikꞌenobu lueti kutakananga mu zikhutukunu zieno mu dibundu. Ayi nguilukidi fioti
19 It behooves for also factions among you there to be, so that (also *no*) the approved evident may become among you.
bila mu beno mufueti ba makabu mavasuka mu diambu di bobo badi bakuikama bamonika mu beno.
20 Coming therefore of you together in one place not it is [the] Lord’s supper to eat;
Bu lunkutakananga va kimosi yisi ko ti bidia bi Pfumu lundianga.
21 One for [their] own supper takes first in eating, and this [one] indeed is hungry, that [one] however is drunken.
Bila bu lundianga, kadika mutu wunuaninanga mu dia bidia biandiveka. Diawu wunkaka wulembo moni nzala, vayi wunkaka kololo.
22 Surely not indeed houses surely you have in which to eat and to drink? Or the church of God do you despise and put to shame those nothing having? What shall I say to you shall I praise you in this? Not I praise [you]!
A buevi, luisi ko zinzo mu lulenda dila ayi nuina e? Voti lueti lenzanga dibundu di Nzambi voti lueti fuisanga tsoni bobo bakambulu kadi kima e? Mbi mfueti ku lukamba e? Mfueti kuluniemisa e? Mu diodi ndilendi ku luniemisa ko.
23 I myself for received from the Lord that which also I delivered to you that the Lord Jesus in the night in which He was betrayed took bread,
Bila mambu momo nditambula kuidi Pfumu mawu ndilulonga: mu builu bu kayekolo, Pfumu Yesu wubonga dipha,
24 and having given thanks He broke [it] and said (do take *KO*) (do eat: *K*) This of Me is the body which [is] for you (being broken; *K*) this do perform in of Me remembrance.
bu kavutula matondo, wubukuna diawu ayi wutuba: “Yayi yawu nitu ama, yitambuku mu diambu dieno; lusianga bobo mu kumbanzanga”.
25 Likewise also the cup after having supped saying; This cup the new covenant is in My blood; this do perform, as often as (when *N(k)O*) you shall drink [it], in of Me remembrance.
Bobuawu bu bamana dia, wubonga mbungu ayi wutuba: “mbungu yayi yawu Nguizani yimona mu menga mama. Kadika khumbu luela yinua, lusianga bobo mu kumbanzanga.”
26 As often as for (when *N(k)O*) you shall eat bread this and cup (this *K*) may drink, the death of the Lord you proclaim until that (when *k*) He may come.
Bila kadika khumbu luela dianga dipha diadi ayi luela nuanga mbungu yayi, buna lunyamikisanga lufua lu Pfumu nate kela kuiza.
27 Therefore who[ever] maybe may eat bread (this *K*) or may drink the cup of the Lord unworthily (of the-Lord *O*) guilty will be of the body and of the blood of the Lord.
Diawu woso mutu wela dia dipha ayi wela nua mbungu yi Pfumu mu kambu fuana, wela vola nkanu mu nitu ayi mu menga ma Pfumu.
28 should examine however a man himself, and in this manner of the bread he should eat and of the cup he should drink;
Diawu bika kadika mutu kakifiongunina niandi veka, buna bosi kadia dipha ayi kanua mbungu.
29 The [one] for eating and drinking (unworthily *K*) judgment on himself he eats and he drinks not discerning the body (of the *k*) (Lord. *K*)
Bila woso mutu didi dipha ayi nuini mbungu mu kambu banzila nitu yi Pfumu buna didi ayi nuini nzengolo mu diambu diandi veka.
30 Because of this among you many [are] weak and sick, and are fallen asleep many.
Diawu minlebukila mididi miwombo mu beno ayi bambevo bawombo ayi bawombo bankaka mu beno bafua.
31 If (for *N(k)O*) ourselves we were judging, not then would we were come under judgment;
Enati tueti kukifionguninanga beto veka, nganu tulendi sambusu ko.
32 Being judged however by (the *no*) Lord we are disciplined, so that not with the world we may be condemned.
Vayi bu tueti sambusungu buna tueti bakanga thumbudulu kuidi Pfumu muingi tubika ba zengolo nkanu va kimosi ayi basi ntoto.
33 So then, brothers of mine, coming together in order to eat one another do wait for;
Diawu bakhomba ziama, bu lunkutakananga mu dia; bika luvingasananga.
34 If (now *k*) anyone is hungry, at home he should eat, so that not for judgment you may come together. And the other things as soon as when I may come I will set in order.
Enati mutu wumosi wulembo moni nzala, bika kadia ku nzoꞌandi mu diambu lubika ba sambusu bu lunkutakananga. Mu diambu di mambu mankaka, ndiela madedikisa bu ndiela kuiza kuidi beno.
