1 Corinthians 11
1 Be imitators of me, even as I also am of Christ.
Monsua me sɛdeɛ mesua Kristo no.
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.
Mekamfo mo, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛberɛ biara, mokae me di me nkyerɛkyerɛ a mekyerɛɛ mo no so.
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.
Na mepɛ sɛ mote aseɛ sɛ, ɔbarima tiri ne Kristo, na ɔbarima yɛ ɔbaa tiri, nanso Kristo tiri ne Onyankopɔn.
4 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head.
Enti, ɔbarima biara a ɔkata ne tiri so bɔ mpaeɛ anaa ɔka Onyankopɔn asɛm wɔ badwam no gu Kristo anim ase.
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.
Na ɔbaa a ɔnkata ne tiri so na ɔbɔ mpaeɛ ka Onyankopɔn asɛm wɔ badwam no nso gu ne kunu anim ase. Nsonsonoeɛ biara nna ɔne ɔbaa a wayi ne tirinwi no ntam.
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.
Sɛ ɔbaa no nkata ne tiri so a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔtwitwa ne tirinwi gu. Esiane sɛ ɛyɛ animguaseɛ sɛ ɔbaa bɛyi ne tirinwi anaa ɔbɛtwitwa agu no enti, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔkata so.
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.
Ɛho nhia sɛ ɔbarima bɛkata ne tiri so, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔyɛ Onyankopɔn animuonyam ne ne sɛso
8 For man is not from woman, but woman from man;
na wɔammɔ ɔbarima amfiri ɔbaa mu, na mmom, wɔbɔɔ ɔbaa firii ɔbarima mu.
9 for man wasn’t created for the woman, but woman for the man.
Saa ara nso na ɛnyɛ ɔbaa enti na wɔbɔɔ ɔbarima, nanso ɔbaa deɛ, ɔbarima enti na wɔbɔɔ no.
10 For this cause the woman ought to have authority over her own head, because of the angels.
Esiane saa asɛm yi ne abɔfoɔ no enti, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔbaa nya nkatasoɔ bi wɔ ne tiri so, de kyerɛ sɛ ɔhyɛ tumi bi ase.
11 Nevertheless, neither is the woman independent of the man, nor the man independent of the woman, in the Lord.
Yɛn asetena wɔ Awurade mu no, ɔbaa nne ne ho ɛnna ɔbarima nso nne ne ho.
12 For as woman came from man, so a man also comes through a woman; but all things are from God.
Na sɛdeɛ wɔbɔɔ ɔbaa firii ɔbarima mu no, saa ara nso na ɔbaa woo ɔbarima, na biribiara nso firi Onyankopɔn.
13 Judge for yourselves. Is it appropriate that a woman pray to God unveiled?
Ɛyɛ sɛ ɔbaa bɛbɔ mpaeɛ afrɛ Onyankopɔn wɔ badwa mu a biribiara nkata ne tiri so anaa? Mo ara mommua mfa.
14 Doesn’t even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him?
Ɛnyɛ saa abɔdeɛ korɔ no ara na ɛka sɛ, sɛ ɔbarima tiri fu bebree a, ɛyɛ animguaseɛ ma no no?
15 But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her, for her hair is given to her for a covering.
Nanso, sɛ ɔbaa deɛ, ne tiri fu pii a, ɛyɛ animuonyam ma no no? Wɔama no nwi pii sɛ akatasoɔ.
16 But if any man seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither do God’s assemblies.
Nanso, sɛ obi pɛ sɛ ɔgye ho akyinnyeɛ a, asɛm a mewɔ ka wɔ ho ara ne sɛ, yɛn anaa Onyankopɔn asafo no nni ɛkwan foforɔ biara a wɔfa so som.
17 But in giving you this command I don’t praise you, because you come together not for the better but for the worse.
Nhyehyɛeɛ a ɛdidi so yi a mereka akyerɛ mo yi, menkamfo mo, ɛfiri sɛ, mo asafo nhyiamu de ɔhaw brɛ mo mmom.
18 For first of all, when you come together in the assembly, I hear that divisions exist among you, and I partly believe it.
Deɛ ɛdi ɛkan no, mate sɛ mo ne mo ho mo ho di asie wɔ mo nhyiamu mu na megye di sɛ nokorɛ kakra wɔ mu.
19 For there also must be factions among you, that those who are approved may be revealed among you.
Akyinnyeɛ biara nni ho sɛ ɛsɛ sɛ mo mu kyekyɛ sɛdeɛ nokorɛ bɛda adi.
20 When therefore you assemble yourselves together, it is not the Lord’s supper that you eat.
Sɛ mohyia sɛ kuo a, momma sɛ morebɛdi Awurade Adidi no.
21 For in your eating each one takes his own supper first. One is hungry, and another is drunken.
Na mogu so redidi no, obiara di nʼaduane wɔ ɛberɛ a ɛkɔm de ebinom na afoforɔ nso aboboro nsã.
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.
Mo ara monni afie a modidi nom wɔ mu? Anaasɛ mopɛ sɛ mogu Onyankopɔn asafo no ne wɔn a adeɛ ahia wɔn no anim ase? Ɛdeɛn na mohwehwɛ sɛ meka fa saa asɛm yi ho kyerɛ mo? Menkamfo mo anaa? Ɛsɛ sɛ mohunu sɛ ɛnsɛ sɛ mekamfo mo!
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.
Awurade nkyɛn na menya nkyerɛkyerɛ a mekyerɛkyerɛ mo no sɛ, Awurade Yesu, anadwo a wɔyii no maeɛ no, ɔfaa burodo
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.”
na ɔdaa Onyankopɔn ase no, ɔbuu mu kaa sɛ, “Yei ne me onipadua a mede ma mo. Monyɛ yei mfa nkae me.”
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.”
Saa ara na Adidi no akyi no, ɔfaa kuruwa na ɔkaa sɛ, “Saa kuruwa yi yɛ Onyankopɔn apam foforɔ a wɔde me mogya ahyɛ mu den. Ɛberɛ biara a mobɛnom no, momfa nkae me.”
26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.
Ɛberɛ biara a mobɛdi burodo no na mobɛnom kuruwa no ano no, monka Awurade wuo no ho asɛm kɔsi sɛ ɔbɛba.
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.
Ɛkyerɛ sɛ, sɛ obi di Awurade burodo no na ɔnom kuruwa no ano wɔ ɛkwan a ɛmfata so a, ɔdi Awurade onipadua ne ne mogya no ho fɔ.
28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup.
Enti ansa na obiara bɛdi burodo no, anom kuruwa no ano no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔkari ne ho hwɛ.
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.
Na sɛ wammu Awurade onipadua no na ɔdi nom firi kuruwa no mu a, ɔdi nom de atemmuo ba nʼankasa so.
30 For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep.
Ɛno enti na mo mu bebree yareyare na moyɛ mmerɛ na mo mu pii awuwu no.
31 For if we discerned ourselves, we wouldn’t be judged.
Sɛ yɛkari yɛn ho hwɛ ansa a, yɛrenkɔ Onyankopɔn atemmuo mu.
32 But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.
Nanso, Awurade bu yɛn atɛn, twe yɛn aso sɛdeɛ ɔremmu yɛne ewiase nyinaa fɔ.
33 Therefore, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.
Ɛno enti, me nuanom, sɛ mohyia sɛ morekɔ Awurade Adidi no a, montwɛn mo ho mo ho.
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.
Sɛ ɛkɔm de obi a, ɔnnidi wɔ efie na Onyankopɔn ammu no atɛn wɔ wɔn nhyiamu no ase. Nsɛm a aka no, sɛ meba a, mɛka ho asɛm.
