< 1 Corinthians 11 >

1 Be imitators of me, in so far as I in turn am an imitator of Christ.
Mundabireko nga nange bwe ndabira ku Kristo.
2 Now I commend you for remembering me in everything, and because you hold fast truths and practices precisely as I have taught them to you.
Mbatenda nnyo Olw’okunzijjukiza mu bintu byonna era n’olw’okunyweza ebyo bye nabayigiriza.
3 I would have you know, however, that of every man, Christ is the Head, that of a woman her husband is the Head, and that God is Christ's Head.
Kyokka njagala mutegeere nti Kristo ye mutwe gwa buli muntu, n’omusajja gwe mutwe gwa mukazi we. Era Katonda ye mutwe gwa Kristo.
4 A man who wears a veil when praying or prophesying dishonors his Head;
Noolwekyo omusajja yenna bw’asaba oba bw’ayogera eby’obunnabbi nga taggyeko kibikka ku mutwe gwe, aba aswaza omutwe gwe.
5 but a woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her Head, for it is exactly the same as if she had her hair cut short.
N’omukazi bw’asaba oba n’ayogera eby’obunnabbi nga tabisse mutwe gwe aba tawadde bba kitiibwa kubanga kyekimu n’oyo amwereddwako enviiri.
6 If a woman will not wear a veil, let her also cut off her hair. But since it is a dishonor to a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, let her wear a veil.
Obanga omukazi tayagala kubikka ku mutwe gwe, kale enviiri ze azisalengako. Naye obanga omukazi kimuswaza enviiri ze okuzisalako oba okuzimwako, kale ateekwa omutwe gwe okugubikkangako.
7 For a man ought not to have a veil on his head, since he is the image and glory of God; while woman is the glory of man.
Omusajja tasaana kubikka ku mutwe gwe, kubanga ye kye kifaananyi n’ekitiibwa kya Katonda; naye omukazi ye ky’ekitiibwa ky’omusajja.
8 Man does not take his origin from woman, but woman takes hers from man.
Kubanga omusajja teyatondebwa ng’aggibwa mu mukazi, wabula omukazi ow’olubereberye ye yaggyibwa mu musajja.
9 For man was not created for woman's sake, but woman for man's.
Era omusajja teyatondebwa lwa mukazi, wabula omukazi ye yatondebwa olw’omusajja.
10 That is why a woman ought to have on her head a symbol of subjection, because of the angels.
Kale olw’ensonga eyo, omukazi kimusaanira okubikkanga ku mutwe gwe, okulaga nti afugibwa era ne bamalayika bakirabe.
11 Yet, in the Lord, woman is not independent of man nor man independent of woman.
Kyokka mu Mukama waffe, omukazi n’omusajja, buli omu yeetaaga munne.
12 For just as woman originates from man, so also man comes into existence through woman, but everything springs originally from God.
Kuba, newaakubadde ng’omukazi ava mu musajja, naye buli musajja azaalibwa mukazi; kyokka byonna biva eri Katonda.
13 Judge of this for your own selves: is it seemly for a woman to pray to God when she is unveiled?
Kale nammwe bennyini mwebuuze obanga kisaana omukazi okusaba Katonda nga tabisse ku mutwe.
14 Does not Nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair it is a dishonor to him,
Obuzaaliranwa tebubalaga ng’omusajja bw’aba n’enviiri empanvu tekimuweesa kitiibwa,
15 but that if a woman has long hair it is her glory, because her hair was given her for a covering?
ate ng’omukazi ye zimuweesa kitiibwa? Kubanga yaweebwa enviiri empanvu okumubikkako.
16 But if any one is inclined to be contentious on the point, we have no such custom, nor have the Churches of God.
Naye obanga waliwo ayagala okuwakanya bino, tetulinaayo nkola nga eyo, wadde mu Kkanisa za Katonda.
17 But while giving you these instructions, there is one thing I cannot praise--your meeting together, with bad rather than good results.
Mu bino bye ŋŋenda okubalagira temuli kya kubatenda, kubanga enkuŋŋaana zammwe zivaamu bibi okusinga ebirungi.
18 for, in the first place, when you meet as a Church, there are divisions among you. This is what I am told, and I believe that there is some truth in it.
Ekisooka bwe mukuŋŋaana ng’ekibiina, mwesalaasalamu ebitundu, era nzikiriza ng’ebimu ku ebyo bituufu.
19 For there must of necessity be differences of opinion among you, in order that it may be plainly seen who are the men of sterling worth among you.
Naye okwesalaasalamu okwo kusaana kubeewo abatuufu balyoke bategeerekeke.
20 When, however, you meet in one place, there is no eating the Supper of the Lord;
Bwe mukuŋŋaana ekyo kye mulya si kye kyekiro kya Mukama waffe.
21 for it is his own supper of which each of you is in a hurry to partake, and one eats like a hungry man, while another has already drunk to excess.
Kubanga bwe muba mulya buli omu alya ku lulwe, talinda banne. Abamu basigala bakyali bayala, ng’abalala bo batamidde.
22 Why, have you no homes in which to eat and drink? Or do you wish to show your contempt for the Church of God and make those who have no homes feel ashamed? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? In this matter I certainly do not praise you.
Temulina wammwe gye muyinza okuliira n’okunywera? Oba munyooma ekkanisa ya Katonda, ne muswaza abaavu? Mbagambe ki? Mbatende olw’ekyo? Nedda na katono, sijja kubatenda.
23 For it was from the Lord that I received the facts which, in turn, I handed on to you; how that the Lord Jesus, on the night He was to be betrayed, took some bread,
Kubanga Mukama yennyini kye yampa ky’ekyo kye nabayigiriza nti, Mukama waffe Yesu, mu kiro kiri kye baamuliiramu olukwe, yaddira omugaati,
24 and after giving thanks He broke it and said, "This is my body which is about to be broken for you. Do this in memory of me."
ne yeebaza Katonda, n’agumenyaamenyamu, n’agamba nti, “Guno mubiri gwange, oguweebwayo ku lwammwe, mugutoole mulye, mukolenga bwe mutyo okunzijukiranga.”
25 In the same way, when the meal was over, He also took the cup. "This cup," He said, "is the new Covenant of which my blood is the pledge. Do this, every time that you drink it, in memory of me."
Era mu ngeri y’emu bwe baamala okulya, yaddira ekikompe n’agamba nti, “Ekikompe kino y’endagaano empya ekoleddwa Katonda nammwe, ekakasiddwa n’omusaayi gwange, mutoole munywe, mukolenga bwe mutyo buli lwe munaakinywangako okunzijukiranga.”
26 For every time that you eat this bread and drink from the cup, you are proclaiming the Lord's death--until He returns.
Kubanga buli lwe munaalyanga omugaati guno ne buli lwe munaanywanga ku kikompe, munaategeezanga abantu okufa kwa Mukama waffe okutuusa Lw’alijja.
27 Whoever, therefore, in an unworthy manner, eats the bread or drinks from the cup of the Lord sins against the body and blood of the Lord.
Noolwekyo buli alya omugaati guno oba anywa ku kikompe kya Mukama waffe nga tasaanidde, azza omusango ku mubiri gwa Mukama waffe, ne ku musaayi gwe.
28 But let a man examine himself, and, having done that, then let him eat the bread and drink from the cup.
Noolwekyo omuntu amalenga kwekebera, alyoke alye ku mugaati n’okunywa ku kikompe.
29 For any one who eats and drinks, eats and drinks judgement to himself, if he fails to estimate the body aright.
Kubanga buli alya era anywa nga tafaayo kutegeera makulu ga mubiri gwa Mukama waffe, aba yeesalidde yekka omusango okumusinga.
30 That is why many among you are sickly and out of health, and why not a few die.
Mu mmwe kyemuvudde mubaamu abanafu n’abalwadde, era bangi bafudde.
31 If, however, we estimated ourselves aright, we should not be judged.
Naye singa tusooka okwekebera, tetwandisaliddwa musango kutusinga.
32 But when we are judged by the Lord, chastisement follows, to save us from being condemned along with the world.
Kyokka Mukama bw’atusalira omusango aba atukangavvula tuleme kusalirwa musango awamu n’ensi.
33 Therefore, brethren, when you come together for this meal, wait for one another.
Kale baganda bange, bwe mukuŋŋaananga awamu okulya, buli omu alinde munne.
34 If any one is hungry, let him eat at home; so that your coming together may not lead to judgement. The other matters I will deal with whenever I come.
Era singa wabaawo alumwa enjala amale okulya eka, bwe mukuŋŋaana muleme kwereetako musango. N’ebirala ndibirongoosa, we ndijjira wonna.
