1 Corinthians 11
1 Be imitators of me, even as I also am of Christ.
Mme lo tshwanetse go latela sekao sa me, fela jaaka ke latela sa ga Keresete.
2 Now I praise you, brothers, that you remember me in all things, and hold firm the traditions, even as I delivered them to you.
Ke a itumela, bakaulengwe ba ba rategang, ka gore lo ntse lo gakologelwa ebile lo dira dilo tsotlhe tse ke lo di rutileng.
3 But I would have you know that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.
Mme go na le sengwe se ke batlang go lo gakolola kaga sone: gore mosadi o kafa tlase ga taolo ya monna wa gagwe, monna wa gagwe o ka fa tlase ga taolo ya ga Keresete, Keresete ene o ka fa tlase ga taolo ya Modimo.
4 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head.
Ke gone ka moo, fa monna a gana go rola hutshe fa a rapela kgotsa a rera, o tlontlolola Keresete.
5 But every woman praying or prophesying with her head uncovered dishonors her head. For it is one and the same thing as if she were shaved.
Mme ke gone ka moo mosadi yo o rapelang kgotsa a porofesa mo pepeneneng a sa rwala sepe mo tlhogong o tlontlolola monna wa gagwe (gonne go rwala ga gagwe ke sesupo sa gore o ka fa tlase ga taolo ya monna.)
6 For if a woman is not covered, let her hair also be cut off. But if it is shameful for a woman to have her hair cut off or be shaved, let her be covered.
Ee, fa a gana go rwala tukwi, o tshwanetse go beola moriri wa gagwe otlhe mme fa go tlhabisa ditlhong gore mosadi a beolwe, jalo o tshwanetse go rwala sengwe mo tlhogong.
7 For a man indeed ought not to have his head covered, because he is the image and glory of God, but the woman is the glory of the man.
Mme monna ga a a tshwanela go rwala sepe mo tlhogong (fa a obamela Modimo), gonne monna ke setshwano le kgalalelo ya Modimo; mme mosadi ke kgalalelo ya monna.
8 For man is not from woman, but woman from man;
Monna wa ntlha ga a tswa mo mosading, mme mosadi wa ntlha ene o dule mo monneng.
9 for man wasn’t created for the woman, but woman for the man.
Le Adamo, monna wa ntlha, o ne a sa direlwa thuso ya ga Efa, mme Efa o ne a diretswe Adamo.
10 For this cause the woman ought to have authority over her own head, because of the angels.
Jalo mosadi o tshwa-netse go bipa tlhogo ya gagwe e le sesupo sa gore o ka fa tlase ga taolo ya monna, e le lebaka la gore baengele ba mo lemoge ba bo ba mo itumelele.
11 Nevertheless, neither is the woman independent of the man, nor the man independent of the woman, in the Lord.
Mme gakologelwang gore mo leanong la Modimo banna le basadi ba a tlhokana.
12 For as woman came from man, so a man also comes through a woman; but all things are from God.
Gonne le fa mosadi wa ntlha a dule mo monneng, banna botlhe ba tsetswe ke basadi go tloga foo, mme banna le basadi ba tswa mo Modimong Mmopi wa bone.
13 Judge for yourselves. Is it appropriate that a woman pray to God unveiled?
Lona ka bo lona lo akanya jang kaga selo se? A go siame gore mosadi a rapele mo pepeneneng a sa bipa tlhogo?
14 Doesn’t even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him?
A ga se gore le yone tlholego e re ruta gore ditlhogo tsa basadi di tshwanetse go bipiwa? Gonne basadi ba ikgantsha ka meriri ya bone e meleele, fa monna yo o moriri moleele o mo tlhabisa ditlhong.
15 But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her, for her hair is given to her for a covering.
16 But if any man seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither do God’s assemblies.
Mme fa mongwe a batla go ganetsa kaga mo, gotlhe mo ke ka go buang ke gore ga re rute sepe se sele go na le se, gore mosadi o tshwanetse go ipipa tlhogo fa a rapela kgotsa a porofesa mo phuthegong, mme diphuthego tsotlhe di ikutlwa ka mokgwa o le mongwe kaga se.
17 But in giving you this command I don’t praise you, because you come together not for the better but for the worse.
Se sengwe mo thulaganyong ya me ya dilo tse ke lo kwalelang ka ga tsone ke sengwe se ke se ka keng ka dumalana le sone. Gonne go utlwala jaaka e ka re go kopana ga lona mo selalelong go dira bosula go na le tshiamo.
18 For first of all, when you come together in the assembly, I hear that divisions exist among you, and I partly believe it.
Mongwe le mongwe o aga a mpolelela kaga kganetsanyo e e nnang mo dikopanong tse, le dikgaogano tse di tsogang magareng ga lona ebile ke setse ke rata go dumela.
19 For there also must be factions among you, that those who are approved may be revealed among you.
Mme ke gopola gore lo utlwa mo go le botlhokwa mo e leng gore lona ba lo agang lo siame lo tlaa itse lo bo lo gakologelwa!
20 When therefore you assemble yourselves together, it is not the Lord’s supper that you eat.
Fa lo kopana lotlhe go ja, ga se Selalelo sa Morena se lo se jang,
21 For in your eating each one takes his own supper first. One is hungry, and another is drunken.
mme ke sa lona. Gonne ke boleletswe gore mongwe le mongwe o itlhaganelela go phamola dijo tsotlhe tse a ka di kgonang go na le go letela go di kgaogana le ba bangwe, jalo yo mongwe a tlhaelwe mme a tsamaye ka tlala fa ba bangwe ba nole ba tagilwe.
22 What, don’t you have houses to eat and to drink in? Or do you despise God’s assembly and put them to shame who don’t have enough? What shall I tell you? Shall I praise you? In this I don’t praise you.
Ke eng? A mo ke boammaaruri tota? A ga lo kake lwa a ja lwa nwa kwa malapeng a lona, go tila go nyenyefatsa phuthego le go tlhabisa bahumanegi ditlhong ba ba se ka keng ba tlisa dijo. Ke tshwanetse go reng kaga dilo tse? A lo batla ke lo galaletsa? Ga ke dire jalo!
23 For I received from the Lord that which also I delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night in which he was betrayed took bread.
Gonne se ke se Morena ka boene o se buileng ka Lomati lwa gagwe, mme ke lo boleletse pele: Gore mo bosigong jo Judase o mo okileng ka jone, Jesu o ne a tsaya senkgwe,
24 When he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “Take, eat. This is my body, which is broken for you. Do this in memory of me.”
mme ya re a sena go se lebogela mo Modimong, a se ngathoganya a se neela barutwa ba gagwe a re, “Tsayang se lo je. Se ke mmele wa me, o ke lo o nayang. Dirang se gore lo nkgakologelwe”.
25 In the same way he also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink, in memory of me.”
Ka mokgwa o o tshwanang, a tsaya senwelo sa mofine morago ga selalelo a re, “Senwelo se ke kgolagano e ncha fa gare ga Modimo le lona, se se tlhomamisitsweng sa bo sa tsamaisiwa ka madi a me. Dirang se gore lo nkgopole ka nako tsotlhe fa lo se nwa”.
26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.
Gonne ka nako tsotlhe fa lo o ja senkgwe se lo bo lo nwa senwelo se, lo bolela molaetsa wa loso lwa Morena, gore o lo swetse. Dirang se go fitlhelela a tla gape.
27 Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks the Lord’s cup in a way unworthy of the Lord will be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.
Jalo fa mongwe a a ja senkgwe se a bo a a nwa mo senwelong se sa Morena a sa tshwanela, o leofela mmele le madi a Morena.
28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup.
Ke gone ka moo motho o tshwanetseng go itshekatsheka ka kelotlhoko pele ga a a ja senkgwe a bo a a nwa mo senwelong.
29 For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy way eats and drinks judgment to himself if he doesn’t discern the Lord’s body.
Gonne fa a a ja senkgwe se a bo a a nwa mo senwelong a sa tshwanela, a sa akanye kaga mmele wa ga Keresete le go re o rayang, o a bo a inwela ebile a ijela tshekiso; gonne o tshameka ka loso lwa Morena.
30 For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep.
Ke gone ka mo bontsi jwa lona lo leng bokoa ebile lo lwala, mme bangwe ba setse ba sule.
31 For if we discerned ourselves, we wouldn’t be judged.
Mme fa lo itshekatsheka ka kelotlhoko pele ga lo o ja ga lo kitla lo atlholwa kgotsa lo otlhaiwa.
32 But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.
Le fa go ntse jalo fa re atlholwa re bo re otlhaiwa ke Morena, ke gore ga re kitla re senngwa le lefatshe lotlhe.
33 Therefore, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.
Jalo, bakaulengwe ba ba rategang, fa lo phuthaganela sejo sa Morena, ebong tirelo ya Selalelo, letelang ba bangwe;
34 But if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest your coming together be for judgment. The rest I will set in order whenever I come.
fa mongwe a tshwerwe ke tlala thata o tshwanetse go ja kwa lapeng gore a se ka a itlisetsa kwatlhao fa lo phuthega lotlhe. Ke tlaa buisana le lona kaga dilo tse dingwe morago ga ke goroga.
