1 Ndị Kọrint 11
1 Unu bụrụ ndị na-eṅomi m, dịka m si eṅomi Kraịst.
Be ye imitators of me, even 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.
Now I praise you that ye remember me in all things, and hold fast the traditions, even as I delivered them to 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 would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.
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, dishonoureth 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 unveiled dishonoureth her head: for it is one and the same thing as if she were 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.
For if a woman is not veiled, let her also be shorn: but if it is a shame to a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be veiled.
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 indeed ought not to have his head veiled, forasmuch as he is 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 of the woman; but the woman of the man:
9 E keghị nwoke maka nwanyị, ma e kere nwanyị maka nwoke.
for neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man:
10 Nʼihi nke a, nwanyị kwesiri ikpuchi isi ya igosi na ọ nọ nʼokpuru di ya, maka ndị mmụọ ozi.
for this cause ought the woman to have [a sign of] authority on her head, because 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.
Howbeit neither is the woman without the man, nor the man without the woman, in the Lord.
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 of the man, so is the man also by the woman; but all things are of 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 in yourselves: is it seemly that a woman pray unto God unveiled?
14 Unu matakwara nke ọma na ọ bụ ihe ihere na nwoke ga-ebu agịrị isi dị ogologo.
Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a dishonour 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 have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given 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.
But if any man seemeth to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither 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.
But in giving you this charge, I praise you not, that ye 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 first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that divisions exist among you; and I partly believe it.
19 Nʼezie ụdị nkewa dị otu a aghaghị ịdị nʼetiti unu ka e nwee ike mara ndị Chineke nabatara.
For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.
20 Mgbe unu zukọtara, ọ bụghị nri anyasị nke Onyenwe anyị ka unu na-eri.
When therefore ye assemble yourselves together, it is not possible 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 in your eating each one taketh before [other] his own supper; 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.
What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and put them to shame that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not.
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 of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, how that the Lord Jesus in 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 when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, This is my body, which is for you: this do 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.”
In like manner also the cup, after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood: this do, as oft as ye 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 ye eat this bread, and drink the cup, ye proclaim the Lord’s death till he 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.
Wherefore whosoever shall 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 prove 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 he that eateth and drinketh, eateth and drinketh judgment unto himself, if he discern not the body.
30 Ọ bụ nke a mere ọtụtụ nʼime unu ji bụrụ ndị ahụ na-esighị ike, ndị nọ nʼọrịa na ndị dara nʼụra ọnwụ.
For this cause 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 discerned ourselves, we should 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 when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.
33 Ya mere, ụmụnna m, mgbe unu bịakọtara iri nri, cherenụ ibe unu.
Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, wait one for 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 any man is hungry, let him eat at home; that your coming together be not unto judgment. And the rest will I set in order whensoever I come.
