1 Corinthians 11
1 [Follow my example], just like I [try to] follow Christ’s example.
Sed imitadores de mí, así como yo del Cristo.
2 I praise you because you remember all the things [that I taught you] and because you follow the instructions that I gave you. You have done just like I told you to do.
Y os alabo, hermanos, que en todo os acordáis de mí, y retenéis las instrucciones mías, de la manera que os hablé.
3 [Now], I want you to know that the one who has authority over [MTY] every man is Christ, and the ones who have authority over women are men (OR, their husbands), and the one who has authority over Christ is God.
Mas quiero que sepáis, que el Cristo es la cabeza de todo varón; y el varón la cabeza de la mujer; y Dios la cabeza del Cristo.
4 [So] if any man [wears a covering over] his head when he prays or speaks a message God gave him, he disgraces himself [SYN].
Todo varón que ora o profetiza cubierta la cabeza, afrenta su cabeza.
5 Also, if any woman does not wear a covering over her head when she prays or speaks a message that God gave her, she disgraces herself (OR, she dishonors her husband). That would be acting like [SIM] [women who are ashamed because] their heads have been shaved.
Mas toda mujer que ora o profetiza no cubierta su cabeza, afrenta su cabeza; porque lo mismo es que si se hubiese rapado.
6 So, if women do not wear coverings over their heads [when they pray or speak messages that God gave them], they should let someone shave their heads [so that they will be ashamed]. But since women are ashamed if someone cuts their hair [short] or shaves off their hair, they should wear coverings over their heads [when they pray or speak messages that God gave them].
Porque si la mujer no se cubre, trasquílese también; y si es vergonzoso a la mujer trasquilarse o raerse, cúbrase (la cabeza).
7 Men should not wear coverings over their heads [when they pray or speak messages that God gave them], because they represent what God is like [MET] and they show how great God is. But women show how great men (OR, their husbands) are.
Porque el varón no ha de cubrir la cabeza, porque es imagen y gloria de Dios; mas la mujer es gloria del varón.
8 [Remember that God intends that men have authority over women. We know that] because [God] did not make [the first] man, [Adam], from the [first] woman, [Eve]. Instead, he made that woman [from a bone that he took] from the man.
Porque el varón no es sacado de la mujer, sino la mujer del varón.
9 Also, [God] did not create [the first] man [to help] the woman. Instead, [he] created the woman [to help] the man.
Porque tampoco el varón es creado por causa de la mujer, sino la mujer por causa del varón.
10 For that reason, women should wear something [to cover] their heads [as a symbol of their being under their husbands’] [MTY] authority. They should also [cover their heads] so that the angels [will see that and rejoice].
Por lo cual, la mujer debe tener potestad sobre su cabeza, por causa de los ángeles.
11 However, remember that [even though God created the first] woman from [the first] man, all other men [have been born] from women. So men cannot be independent of women, nor can women be independent of men. But all things, [including men and women], come from God.
Mas ni el varón es sin la mujer, ni la mujer sin el varón, en el Señor.
Porque como la mujer salió del varón, así también el varón nace por la mujer; todo, sin embargo, sale de Dios.
13 Consider this for yourselves: Is it proper for [RHQ] women to pray to God while they do not have coverings over their heads?
Juzgad vosotros mismos: ¿es honesto la mujer orar a Dios no cubierta?
14 (Everyone senses that it is disgraceful for men to have long hair./Doesn’t everyone sense that it is disgraceful for men to have long hair?) [RHQ]
La misma naturaleza ¿no os enseña que al hombre sea deshonesto criar cabello?
15 But it is very delightful if women have long hair, because [God] gave them long hair to be like a [beautiful] covering [for their heads].
Por el contrario, a la mujer criar el cabello le es honroso; porque por cubierta le es dado el cabello.
16 But whoever wants to argue [with me about my saying that women should have a covering over their heads when they pray or speak a message from God should consider the fact that] we [apostles] do not [permit] any other custom, and the [other] congregations of God do not have any other custom.
Con todo eso, si alguno parece ser contencioso, nosotros no tenemos tal costumbre, ni la Iglesia de Dios.
17 Now I want to tell you [about some other things]. I do not praise you about them, because whenever you believers meet together, good [things do not happen]. Instead, bad things [happen].
Pero esto os denuncio, que no os alabo, que no para mejor sino para peor os juntáis.
18 First of all, people have told me that when you gather together as a group [to worship God], you divide into groups [that are hostile to each other]. To some extent I believe that is true.
Porque lo primero, cuando os juntáis en la Iglesia, oigo que hay entre vosotros divisiones; y en parte lo creo.
19 It seems that you must divide into [groups that despise each other] in order that it might be clear/evident which people among you [God] approves of!
Porque conviene que también haya entre vosotros herejías, para que los que son probados se manifiesten entre vosotros.
20 When you gather together, you [IRO] eat the meal [that you say is to remember the death of] the Lord [Jesus for us].
De manera que cuando os juntáis en uno, esto no es comer la Cena del Señor.
21 But [what happens when] you eat is that each person eats his own meal before [he thinks about sharing his food with anyone else]. As a result, [when the meal is over], some people are [still] hungry and others are drunk! [So it is not a meal that honors the Lord].
Porque cada uno toma antes para comer su propia cena; y el uno tiene hambre, y el otro está embriagado.
22 ([You act as though] you do not have your own houses in which you can eat and drink [whatever you want to]!/Do you not have your own houses in which you can eat and drink [whatever you want to]?) [RHQ] Do you not realize [RHQ] [that by acting selfishly in this way], it is God’s people whom you are despising, and it is the poor people [in your group] whom you are treating as though they were not important? What shall I say to you about that [RHQ]? Do [you expect] me to praise you [about what you do] [RHQ]? I certainly will not praise you!
A la verdad, ¿no tenéis casas en que comáis y bebáis? ¿O menospreciáis la Iglesia de Dios, y avergonzáis a los que no tienen? ¿Qué os diré? ¿Os alabaré? En esto no os alabo.
23 The Lord taught me these things that I also taught you: During the night that Jesus was betrayed {[Judas] enabled [the enemies of] the Lord Jesus to seize him}, he took some bread.
Porque yo recibí del Señor lo que también os he enseñado: Que el Señor Jesús, la noche que fue entregado, tomó el pan;
24 After he thanked God for it, he broke it into pieces. [Then he gave it to his disciples] and said, “This bread [represents] [MET] (OR, is) my body, that [I am about to sacrifice] for you. Eat bread in this [way again and again] to remember my [offering myself as a sacrifice for you].”
y habiendo dado gracias, lo partió, y dijo: Tomad, comed; esto es mi cuerpo que por vosotros es partido; haced esto en memoria de mí.
25 Similarly, after they ate their meal, he took a cup [MTY] [of wine]. He [thanked God for it. Then he gave it to his disciples], saying, “[The wine in] [MTY] this cup [represents] [MET] (OR, is) my blood [that will flow from my body] ([to put into effect/to establish]) the new agreement [that God is making with people]. Whenever you drink wine in this way, do it to remember that [my blood flowed for you].”
Asimismo tomó también la copa, después de haber cenado, diciendo: Esta copa es el Nuevo testamento en mi sangre; haced esto todas las veces que bebiereis, en memoria de mí.
26 [Remember that] until the Lord [Jesus] returns [to the earth], whenever you eat the [bread that represents his body] and drink the wine [MTY] [that represents his blood], you are telling other people that he died [for you].
Porque todas las veces que comiereis este pan, y bebiereis esta copa, la muerte del Señor anunciáis hasta que él venga.
27 So, those who eat that bread and drink that wine [MTY] in a way that is not proper [for those who belong to the Lord] are guilty of [acting in a way that is contrary to what] our [Lord intended when he offered] his body [as a sacrifice] and his blood [flowed when he died].
De manera que, cualquiera que comiere este pan o bebiere esta copa del Señor indignamente, será culpado del cuerpo y de la sangre del Señor.
28 Before any believer eats that bread and drinks that wine [MTY], he should think carefully about [what he is doing],
Por tanto, pruébese cada hombre a sí mismo, y coma así del pan, y beba de la copa.
29 because if anyone eats [the bread that represents Christ’s body] and drinks [the wine that represents his blood] without recognizing that all God’s [people should be united, God will] punish him [for doing that].
Porque el que come y bebe indignamente, juicio come y bebe para sí, no discerniendo el cuerpo del Señor.
30 Many people in your group are weak and sick, and several have died [EUP] because of [the way they acted when they ate that bread and drank that wine].
Por lo cual hay muchos enfermos y debilitados entre vosotros; y muchos duermen.
31 If we would think carefully about what we [are doing], [God] would not judge [and punish] us [like that].
Pero si nos examinásemos a nosotros mismos, cierto no seríamos juzgados.
32 But when the Lord judges [and punishes] us [for acting wrongly], he disciplines us [to correct us], in order that he will not [need to] punish us when he punishes [the people who do not trust in Christ] [MTY].
Mas siendo juzgados, somos castigados del Señor, para que no seamos condenados con el mundo.
33 So, my fellow believers, when you gather together to eat [food to remember the Lord’s dying for you], wait until everyone [has arrived so that you can find out who does not have enough food].
Así que, hermanos míos, cuando os juntéis a comer, esperaos unos a otros.
34 Those who are so hungry [that they cannot wait to eat until everyone else has arrived] should eat in their own homes [first], in order that when you gather together God will not judge [and punish them for] ([being inconsiderate of/not being concerned about]) [others]. And when I come [to Corinth] I will give you instructions about other matters [concerning the Lord’s Supper].
Y si alguno tuviere hambre, coma en su casa, para que no os juntéis para juicio. Las demás cosas ordenaré cuando llegare.
