1 Korint 11
1 Se pou nou swiv egzanp mwen, menm jan mwen menm mwen swiv egzanp Kris la.
Be imitators of me, as I am an imitator of Christ.
2 Mwen fè nou konpliman pou jan nou toujou chonje m', pou jan nou kenbe tout bagay mwen te moutre nou.
Indeed I praise you for remembering me in everything, and because you are holding fast to the traditions just as you received them.
3 Men, mwen vle nou konprann sa byen: Kris la se chèf tout gason, gason se chèf fanm. Bondye se chèf Kris la.
But I wish you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, and of a wife her husband is head; and that God is head of Christ.
4 Si yon gason kite chapo l' nan tèt li lè l'ap lapriyè osinon lè l'ap bay yon mesaj ki soti nan Bondye, li derespekte Kris la.
Every man who prays or prophesies with head veiled dishonors his Head;
5 Men, si yon fanm pa mete anyen sou tèt li lè l'ap lapriyè osinon lè l'ap bay yon mesaj ki soti nan Bondye, li derespekte mari li. Se tankou si se te yon fanm ki te gen tèt li kale.
but every woman who prays or prophesies with her head unveiled dishonors her head (her husband). for it is one and the same thing as if she were shaven.
6 Si yon fanm pa kouvri tèt li, li ta mèt tou koupe cheve l' tou. Enben, si se yon wont pou yon fanm koupe cheve l' ou ankò pou l' kale tèt li, se pou l' kouvri tèt li tou.
If a woman does not wear a veil, let her also cut off her hair; now if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, let her be veiled.
7 Gason an pa bezwen kouvri tèt li, paske se pòtre Bondye li ye. Tankou nan yon glas, li fè wè bèl pouvwa Bondye a. Men, fanm lan menm se pouvwa gason an li fè wè.
A man, indeed, ought not to have his head veiled, for he is an image and glory of God; but woman is a glory of man.
8 Paske, se pa t' avèk moso nan kò yon fanm Bondye te kreye gason, se avèk moso nan kò yon gason li te fè fanm.
For it is not man who was made from woman, but woman was made from man.
9 Se pa pou fanm lan Bondye te kreye gason an, men se pou gason an Bondye te kreye fanm lan.
And man was not created for woman, but woman for man.
10 Se poutèt sa, akòz zanj Bondye yo, fanm lan dwe pote yon mak sou tèt li pou moutre li soumèt anba otorite mari li.
For this reason the woman ought to have authority over her head, because of her guardian angels.
11 Men, nan lavi n'ap mennen ansanm ak Seyè a, fanm bezwen sèvis gason, gason bezwen sèvis fanm.
However, in the Lord neither is woman independent of man, nor is man independent of woman;
12 Paske, menm jan se avèk moso kò yon gason Bondye te kreye fanm, konsa tou se nan vant fanm gason soti. Men, tout bagay soti nan Bondye.
for just as the woman was made from the man, so also is the man born of the woman, while they both come from God.
13 Dapre nou, èske se lizay sa pou yon fanm pa gen anyen sou tèt li lè l'ap lapriyè Bondye?
Judge of this for your own selves. It is fitting that a woman should pray to God with her head unveiled.
14 Se pa natirèl pou yon gason gen cheve long. Sa se yon wont.
Nor does nature itself teach you that it is a disgrace to a man to have long hair,
15 Men, se bèl bagay pou yon fanm gen cheve long. Bondye ba l' cheve long li yo pou sèvi l' tankou yon vwal sou tèt li.
but it is woman’s glory, because her hair has been given her instead of a veil.
16 Si yon moun vle pouse diskisyon sa a pi lwen, mwen menm se tou sa mwen gen pou m' di li: ni nou menm, ni lòt legliz Bondye yo, nou pa gen lòt koutim nou swiv lè nou nan sèvis.
If, however, any one is inclined to be disputatious regarding such a custom, let him know that neither I nor the churches of God hold to such a custom.
17 Pou sa m'ap di nou koulye a, mwen pa fè nou konpliman menm, paske lè nou reyini nou fè tèt nou plis tò pase nou fè tèt nou byen.
But in giving you the following instructions, I cannot praise you; your solemn assemblies do more harm than good.
18 Pou kòmanse, mwen tande lè nou sanble pou sèvis la, nou fè ti pil gwo pil. Mwen konnen sa pa fin manti nèt.
To begin with, I am told - and I believe there is some truth in it - that when you meet at a church there are divisions among you.
19 (Ap toujou gen divizyon nan mitan nou pou yo ka rekonèt moun ki kwè tout bon yo ak moun ki pa kwè yo.)
For there must needs be also parties among you, in order that the good may be tested and made known.
20 Lè nou reyini ansanm, gen lè se pa manje Seyè a nou vin manje.
Again, when you meet together, there is no true eating of the Lord’s Supper;
21 Paske, lè nou chita bò tab la, chak moun ap prese manje manje pa li. Lè konsa, yon pati rete grangou, yon lòt menm gen tan sou sitèlman li bwè.
for each one of you begins to eat his own supper; one goes hungry, while another gets drunk.
22 Mwen te kwè nou gen lakay nou pou n' manje, pou n' bwè? Gen lè se respè nou manke konsa pou legliz Bondye a? Osinon, èske se wont nou vle fè moun ki pa gen anyen yo wont? Kisa nou ta vle mwen di nou sou sa? Nou ta vle m' fè nou konpliman? O non! Nou tou wè mwen pa kapab fè nou konpliman pou sa!
What! Have you no houses in which to eat or drink? or do you wish to show your contempt for the church of God, and to shame those who have no homes to eat in? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? In this I certainly do not praise you.
23 Paske, men sa Seyè a te fè m' konnen, se sa menm mwen te moutre nou tou: Jou lannwit yo te trayi l' la, Seyè Jezi te pran pen,
For I passed on to you the account, which I myself received from the Lord; how the Lord Jesus, on the very night he was betrayed, took bread,
24 lè li fin di Bondye mèsi li kase l', epi li di: Sa a se kò m', se pou nou li ye. Se pou nou fè sa pou nou ka chonje mwen.
and when he had given thanks, he broke it, saying, "This is my body, broken for you; this do in memory of me."
25 Konsa tou, apre yo fin manje, li pran gode diven an, li di yo: Gode sa a se nouvo kontra Bondye fè avè nou nan san mwen. Se pou nou fè sa chak fwa n'ap bwè ladan l' pou nou ka chonje mwen.
In the same way also, he took the cup after supper, saying. "This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in memory of me."
26 Se konsa, chak fwa n'ap manje pen sa a, chak fwa n'ap bwè nan gode sa a, se lanmò Kris la n'ap anonse jouk jou Seyè a gen pou l' vini an.
For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you are proclaiming your Lord’s death until he come.
27 Se poutèt sa, si yon moun manje pen Seyè a, osinon li bwè nan gode Seyè a yon jan ki pa konvenab, moun sa a koupab, paske li peche ni kont kò Seyè a ni kont san li an.
So he that eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord unworthy must answer for a sin against the body and blood of the Lord.
28 Se pou chak moun egzaminen tèt yo byen anvan. Se konsa y'a mèt manje pen sa a, y'a mèt bwè nan gode sa a.
Let each man scrutinize himself, and thus let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup.
29 Si yon moun manje pen sa a, si l' bwè nan gode sa a san li pa rekonèt rapò pen an ansanm ak diven an gen avèk kò Seyè a, se rale l'ap rale yon jijman sou tèt li lè l'ap manje pen an ak lè l'ap bwè nan gode a.
For whoever eats and drinks without discerning the body, eats and drinks condemnation to himself.
30 Se sak fè gen anpil moun malad konsa nan mitan nou, anpil moun k'ap soufri feblès, san konte sa ki mouri deja.
This is why many among you are feeble and sickly, and many sleep.
31 Si nou te egzaminen tèt nou byen anvan, nou pa ta tonbe anba jijman Bondye a.
If however, we were judging ourselves aright, we should not now be condemned;
32 Men, Seyè a jije nou, li peni nou konsa pou li sa pa kondannen nou ansanm ak moun ki nan lemonn yo.
but through our condemnation by the Lord, we are trained so that we may not be condemned;
33 Se sak fè, frè m' yo, lè nou reyini ansanm pou manje manje Seyè a, se pou yonn tann lòt.
So, my brothers, whenever you come together for this meal, wait for one another.
34 Si yon moun grangou, se pou l' manje lakay li, pou l' pa rale jijman Bondye sou nou lè nou reyini. Pou lòt keksyon yo, m'a regle sa lè m'a rive lakay nou.
If any one is hungry, let him eat at home, so that your meetings do not bring condemnation upon you. The other matters I will adjust when I come.
