1 Corinthians 11
1 Be imitators of me, in so far as I in turn am an imitator of Christ.
Ivai vatevedzeri vangu, seniwo ndiri waKristu.
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.
Zvino ndinokurumbidzai, hama, kuti munondirangarira pazvinhu zvese, muchibatirira patsika sezvandakakumikidza kwamuri.
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.
Asi ndinoda kuti muzive, kuti musoro wemurume umwe neumwe ndiKristu; uye musoro wemukadzi murume; uye musoro waKristu ndiMwari.
4 A man who wears a veil when praying or prophesying dishonors his Head;
Murume umwe neumwe anonyengetera kana anoporofita, musoro wakafukidzwa, unozvidza musoro wake.
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.
Asi mukadzi umwe neumwe anonyengetera kana anoporofita nemusoro usina kufukidzwa, anozvidza musoro wake; nokuti ndizvo zvimwezvo nekuveurwa.
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.
Nokuti kana mukadzi asingafukidzwi, ngaagerwewo; asi kana chiri chinyadzo kumukadzi kugerwa kana kuveurwa, ngaazvifukidze.
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.
Nokuti murume zvirokwazvo haafaniri kufukidza musoro, sezvaari mufananidzo nekubwinya kwaMwari; asi mukadzi kubwinya kwemurume.
8 Man does not take his origin from woman, but woman takes hers from man.
Nokuti murume haabvi kumukadzi, asi mukadzi anobva kumurume;
9 For man was not created for woman's sake, but woman for man's.
nokuti nemurume haana kusikirwa mukadzi, asi mukadzi wakasikirwa murume;
10 That is why a woman ought to have on her head a symbol of subjection, because of the angels.
nekuda kweizvozvi mukadzi anofanira kuva nesimba pamusoro wake nekuda kwevatumwa.
11 Yet, in the Lord, woman is not independent of man nor man independent of woman.
Asi murume haasi kunze kwemukadzi, kana mukadzi kunze kwemurume, muna Ishe.
12 For just as woman originates from man, so also man comes into existence through woman, but everything springs originally from God.
Nokuti mukadzi sezvaanobva kumurume, saizvozvo murumewo uripo nemukadzi, asi zvinhu zvese zvinobva kuna Mwari.
13 Judge of this for your own selves: is it seemly for a woman to pray to God when she is unveiled?
Zvionerei imwi, zvakafanira here kuti mukadzi anyengetere kuna Mwari asina kufukidzwa?
14 Does not Nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair it is a dishonor to him,
Kana kunyange chisikirwo pachacho hachikudzidzisii here, kuti kana murume ane vhudzi refu, chinyadzo kwaari?
15 but that if a woman has long hair it is her glory, because her hair was given her for a covering?
Asi kana mukadzi ane vhudzi refu, rukudzo kwaari. Nokuti vhudzi refu rakapiwa kwaari chive chifukidzo.
16 But if any one is inclined to be contentious on the point, we have no such custom, nor have the Churches of God.
Asi kana umwe achiratidza kuva negakava, isu hatina tsika yakadaro, kunyange makereke aMwari.
17 But while giving you these instructions, there is one thing I cannot praise--your meeting together, with bad rather than good results.
Zvino mukuraira uku handikurumbidzii, nokuti munounganira kwete zvakapfuura kunaka, asi muzvakapfuura kuipa.
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.
Nokuti chekutanga kana muchiungana mukereke, ndinonzwa kuti kupatsanurana kuripo pakati penyu; muchidimbu ndinozvitenda.
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.
Nokuti kutsauka kunofanira kuva pakati penyu, kuti avo vakatendeka vaonekwe pakati penyu.
20 When, however, you meet in one place, there is no eating the Supper of the Lord;
Naizvozvo kana muchiungana pamwe, uku hakusi kudya chirairo chaIshe;
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.
nokuti pakudya umwe neumwe anotanga kutora chirairo chake pachake, uye umwe ane nzara, uye umwe wakararadza.
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.
Ko hamuna dzimba dzekudyira nekunwira here? Kana munozvidza kereke yaMwari, muchinyadzisa avo vasina chinhu? Ndichatii kwamuri? Ndingakurumbidzai here pane izvi? Handingakurumbidzii.
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,
Nokuti ini ndakagamuchira kuna Ishe, icho chandakagamuchidzawo kwamuri, kuti Ishe Jesu neusiku hwaakatengeswa wakatora chingwa,
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."
zvino wakati avonga akamedura, ndokuti: Torai, idyai, ichi muviri wangu unomedurirwa imwi; izvi itai kundirangarira.
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."
Saizvozvo mukombewo, shure kwekurayira, achiti: Mukombe uyu isungano itsva muropa rangu; izvi itai, nguva dzese kana muchinwa, mukundirangarira.
26 For every time that you eat this bread and drink from the cup, you are proclaiming the Lord's death--until He returns.
Nokuti nguva dzese kana muchidya chingwa ichi, nekunwa mukombe uyu, munoparidza rufu rwaIshe kusvikira asvika.
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.
Naizvozvo ani nani anodya chingwa ichi, kana kunwa mukombe waIshe zvisakafanira, achava nemhosva yemuviri neropa raIshe.
28 But let a man examine himself, and, having done that, then let him eat the bread and drink from the cup.
Zvino munhu ngaazviongorore, saizvozvowo ngaadye zvechingwa nekunwa zvemukombe.
29 For any one who eats and drinks, eats and drinks judgement to himself, if he fails to estimate the body aright.
Nokuti anodya nekunwa zvisakafanira, anozvidyira nekunwira kutongwa, zvaasingatsauri muviri waIshe.
30 That is why many among you are sickly and out of health, and why not a few die.
Nemhaka iyi vazhinji kwamuri indonda nevarwere, nevazhinji varere.
31 If, however, we estimated ourselves aright, we should not be judged.
Nokuti dai taizvinzvera tomene, hatizaitongwa;
32 But when we are judged by the Lord, chastisement follows, to save us from being condemned along with the world.
asi kana tichitongwa, tinodzorwa naIshe, kuti tirege kunzi tine mhosva pamwe nenyika.
33 Therefore, brethren, when you come together for this meal, wait for one another.
Naizvozvo, hama dzangu, kana muchiungana kuti mudye, miriranai.
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.
Uye kana umwe ane nzara, ngaadye kumba; kuti murege kuunganira kunzi mune mhosva. Asi zvasara, ndichazvironga kana ndichisvika.
