1 Ndị Kọrint 11
1 Unu bụrụ ndị na-eṅomi m, dịka m si eṅomi Kraịst.
Be ye imitators of me, as I also am of Christ.
2 Ana m aja unu nʼihi na unu na-echeta m nʼihi niile, nakwa nʼihi na unu na-ejisikwa ozizi ahụ enyere unu nʼaka ike, dịka m nyere ha nʼaka unu idebe.
But I praise you because you remember me in all things, and hold fast the commandments, as I delivered them unto you.
3 Ma achọrọ m ka unu mata na dịka Kraịst bụ isi nwoke ọbụla, otu a ka nwoke ọbụla si bụrụ isi nwunye ya. Chineke bụkwa isi Kraịst.
But I wish you to know, that Christ is the head of every man; and the man is the head of the woman, and God is the head of Christ.
4 Nwoke ọbụla kpuchiri isi ya mgbe ọ na-ekpe ekpere maọbụ na-ebu amụma na-emenye isi ya ihere.
Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head.
5 Ma nwanyị ọbụla na-ekpe ekpere maọbụ na-ebu amụma, ma o kpuchighị isi ya, na-emenye isi ya ihe ihere, nʼihi na ọ dịka nwanyị kpụchara isi ya.
But every woman praying or prophesying with her head uncovered dishonors her head: for that is one and the same to her being shaven.
6 Ọ bụrụ na nwanyị ọbụla achọghị ikechi isi ya, ya kpụchaa ya. A sịkwa na ọ bụkwanụ ihe ihere na nwanyị kpụchara isi ya, ka nwanyị kechie isi ya.
If a woman is not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it is a disgrace for a woman to be shorn or shaven; let her be covered.
7 Ma nwoke ekwesighị ikpuchi isi ya, nʼihi na nwoke bụ onyinyo na otuto nke Chineke, ebe nwanyị bụ otuto nke nwoke.
For a man ought not to cover his head, being the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of the man.
8 E si na nwoke kee nwanyị, ma e sighị na nwanyị kee nwoke.
For the man is not from the woman; but the woman is from the man;
9 E keghị nwoke maka nwanyị, ma e kere nwanyị maka nwoke.
for man indeed was not created on account of the woman; but the woman on account of the man.
10 Nʼihi nke a, nwanyị kwesiri ikpuchi isi ya igosi na ọ nọ nʼokpuru di ya, maka ndị mmụọ ozi.
Therefore the woman ought to have authority on her head, on account of the angels.
11 Ma otu ihe si dị nʼime ndụ anyị na-adị nʼime Onyenwe anyị, nwoke adịghị ma e wepụ nwanyị, nwanyị adịghịkwa ma e wepụ nwoke.
Moreover neither is the woman without the man in the Lord, nor the man without the woman.
12 Nʼihi na dịka nwanyị siri na nwoke pụta na mbụ, otu a ka a na-esitekwa nʼahụ nwanyị mụpụta nwoke. Ma ha niile si nʼaka Chineke pụta.
For as the woman is from the man, so the man also is by the woman; and all things from God.
13 Achọrọ m ka unu tule ihe a nʼonwe unu, ọ dị mma ka nwanyị ghebe isi ya oghe mgbe ọ na-ekpe ekpere nye Chineke?
Judge ye among yourselves: is it becoming for a woman to pray to God uncovered?
14 Unu matakwara nke ọma na ọ bụ ihe ihere na nwoke ga-ebu agịrị isi dị ogologo.
Does not nature itself teach you, that, if a man may indeed have long hair, it is a dishonor to him?
15 Ma ọ bụrụ na nwanyị enwee agịrị isi dị ogologo ọ bụ ihe otuto nye ya nʼihi na e nyere ya agịrị isi dị ogologo ka ọ bụrụ ihe mkpuchi.
But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory unto her: because the hair has been given to her for a covering.
16 Ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla na-arụ ụka banyere omenaala nke a, anyị onwe anyị na nzukọ Chineke niile enweghị omenaala ọzọ banyere nke a.
If any one seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor do the churches of God.
17 Nʼime ntụziaka ndị a, enweghị m otuto nye unu nʼihi na mgbe unu zukọtara omume unu na-eweta ihe ọjọọ karịa ihe ọma.
And proclaiming this, I do not praise you, because you come together not for the better but for the worse.
18 Na mmalite, ihe m na-anụ bụ na mgbe niile unu zukọrọ dịka chọọchị, ịrụ ụka nke na-ebute nkewa na-adị nʼetiti unu. E kwenyekwara m na ụfọdụ ihe ndị a m nụrụ bụ eziokwu.
For in the first place, indeed you coming together, I hear that there are schisms among you; and I in part believe it.
19 Nʼezie ụdị nkewa dị otu a aghaghị ịdị nʼetiti unu ka e nwee ike mara ndị Chineke nabatara.
For it behooves that heresies should indeed be among you, in order that the approved may be made manifest among you.
20 Mgbe unu zukọtara, ọ bụghị nri anyasị nke Onyenwe anyị ka unu na-eri.
Therefore you coming together, it is not to eat the Lord's supper:
21 Nʼihi na mgbe unu na-eri nri, ụfọdụ nʼime unu na-eri nri anyasị nke aka ha. Nke mere, nʼotu onye na-anọ agụụ ebe onye ọzọ na-aṅụbigakwa mmanya oke.
for each one takes his own supper in eating; and one is hungry, and another is drunken.
22 A ga-akpọ nke a gịnị? Ọ bụ na unu enweghị ụlọ ebe unu ga-anọ rijuo afọ ma ṅụjuokwa afọ? Ka ọ bụ na unu na-elelị nzukọ Chineke na emenye ndị na-enweghị ihe ihere? Gịnị ka m ga-agwa unu? Aga m eto unu maka nke a? Agaghị m eto unu maka nke a.
For have you not houses in which to eat and to drink? or do you cast contempt on the church of God, and shame those not having? What do I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? I do not praise you.
23 Nʼihi na ihe m ziri unu bụ ihe Onyenwe anyị ziri m. Nʼabalị ụbọchị ahụ a rara ya nye, Onyenwe anyị Jisọs weere otu ogbe achịcha.
For I received this from the Lord, which I have also delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus, the night in which he was betrayed, took bread,
24 Mgbe o nyechara ekele, ọ nyawara ya sị, “Nke a bụ ahụ m nke a na-enye maka unu. Na-emenụ nke a iji cheta m.”
and having given thanks, broke it, and said; This is my body, which is for you: do this in remembrance of me.
25 Nʼụzọ dị otu a kwa, o bulitere otu iko mmanya mgbe ha risiri nri sị, “Iko a bụ ọgbụgba ndụ ọhụrụ nʼọbara m. Oge ọbụla unu na-aṅụ ya, na-emenụ nke a iji na-echeta m.”
Likewise also the cup, after supper, saying; This cup is the new covenant in my blood: do this, as often as you may drink it, in remembrance of me.
26 Nʼihi na mgbe ọbụla unu na-eri achịcha ahụ na-aṅụkwa iko a, unu na-ekwusa ọnwụ Onyenwe anyị ruo mgbe ọ ga-abịa ọzọ.
For as often as you may eat this bread, and drink the cup, you do proclaim the death of the Lord, until he may come.
27 Ya mere, ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla erie achịcha Onyenwe anyị maọbụ ṅụọ iko Onyenwe anyị nʼụzọ na-ekwesighị ekwesi, onye ahụ na-emehie megide anụ ahụ Onyenwe anyị na ọbara Onyenwe anyị.
So whosoever may eat the bread or drink the cup of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.
28 Ọ bụ nke a mere o ji bụrụ ihe dị mkpa ka onye ọbụla nyochaa onwe ya nke ọma tupu o rie achịcha ahụ maọbụ ṅụọ iko ahụ.
But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup;
29 Nʼihi na onye ọbụla na-eri achịcha ahụ maọbụ ṅụọ site nʼiko ahụ na-echeghị echiche, ọ na-eri, na-aṅụtakwara onwe ya ikpe ọmụma, ma ọ bụrụ na ọ tuleghị uche banyere ahụ Kraịst.
for the one eating and drinking, net discerning the body, eats and drinks condemnation to himself.
30 Ọ bụ nke a mere ọtụtụ nʼime unu ji bụrụ ndị ahụ na-esighị ike, ndị nọ nʼọrịa na ndị dara nʼụra ọnwụ.
Therefore many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep.
31 Ọ bụrụ na anyị enyochaa onwe anyị nke ọma, anyị agaghị adaba nʼikpe.
But if we judged ourselves, we would not be judged:
32 Ma otu ọ dị, mgbe Onyenwe anyị na-ama anyị ikpe nʼụzọ dị otu a, a na-ezi anyị otu e si ebi ezi ndụ nʼihi ka a ghara ịmakọ anyị na ndị ụwa ikpe.
But being judged, by the Lord we are chastised, in order that we may not be condemned along with the world.
33 Ya mere, ụmụnna m, mgbe unu bịakọtara iri nri, cherenụ ibe unu.
So, my brethren, coming together to eat, wait for one another.
34 Ọ bụrụ na agụụ agụọ onye ọbụla ya rie nri nʼụlọ ya, ka ọ hapụ iwetara unu ikpe ọmụma. Aga m enye ntụziaka banyere ihe niile ndị ọzọ mgbe m bịara.
If one is hungry let him eat at home; in order that you may not come together unto condemnation. But I will set in order the remaining things when I may come.
