Pāvila 1. Vēstule Korintiešiem 11
1 Dzenaties man pakaļ, tā kā es Kristum.
[Follow my example], just like I [try to] follow Christ’s example.
2 Un es jūs slavēju, brāļi, ka jūs visās lietās mani pieminat un turat tās mācības, kā jums tās esmu mācījis.
I praise you because you remember all the things [that I taught you] and because you follow the instructions that I gave you. You have done just like I told you to do.
3 Bet es gribu, ka jūs zināt, ka ikkatra vīra galva ir Kristus, bet sievas galva ir vīrs, bet Kristus galva ir Dievs.
[Now], I want you to know that the one who has authority over [MTY] every man is Christ, and the ones who have authority over women are men (OR, their husbands), and the one who has authority over Christ is God.
4 Ikviens vīrs, kas Dievu lūgdams vai mācīdams apsegu tur uz galvas, apkauno savu galvu.
[So] if any man [wears a covering over] his head when he prays or speaks a message God gave him, he disgraces himself [SYN].
5 Bet ikviena sieva ar neapsegtu galvu Dievu lūgdama vai mācīdama, apkauno savu galvu. Jo tas tikpat, tā kā tā būtu apcirpta.
Also, if any woman does not wear a covering over her head when she prays or speaks a message that God gave her, she disgraces herself (OR, she dishonors her husband). That would be acting like [SIM] [women who are ashamed because] their heads have been shaved.
6 Jo ja sieva neapsedzās, tad lai tā arī top apcirpta. Bet kad nu tas sievai par kaunu, ka tā ir apcirpta jeb plikgalve, tad lai tā apsedzās.
So, if women do not wear coverings over their heads [when they pray or speak messages that God gave them], they should let someone shave their heads [so that they will be ashamed]. But since women are ashamed if someone cuts their hair [short] or shaves off their hair, they should wear coverings over their heads [when they pray or speak messages that God gave them].
7 Bet vīram nebūs galvu apsegt, jo viņš ir Dieva ģīmis un gods; bet sieva ir vīra gods.
Men should not wear coverings over their heads [when they pray or speak messages that God gave them], because they represent what God is like [MET] and they show how great God is. But women show how great men (OR, their husbands) are.
8 Jo vīrs nav no sievas, bet sieva no vīra.
[Remember that God intends that men have authority over women. We know that] because [God] did not make [the first] man, [Adam], from the [first] woman, [Eve]. Instead, he made that woman [from a bone that he took] from the man.
9 Un vīrs arī nav radīts sievas dēļ, bet sieva vīra dēļ.
Also, [God] did not create [the first] man [to help] the woman. Instead, [he] created the woman [to help] the man.
10 Tāpēc sievai būs valdnieka zīmi galvā turēt eņģeļu dēļ.
For that reason, women should wear something [to cover] their heads [as a symbol of their being under their husbands’] [MTY] authority. They should also [cover their heads] so that the angels [will see that and rejoice].
11 Tomēr nedz vīrs ir bez sievas, nedz sieva bez vīra iekš Tā Kunga.
However, remember that [even though God created the first] woman from [the first] man, all other men [have been born] from women. So men cannot be independent of women, nor can women be independent of men. But all things, [including men and women], come from God.
12 Jo tā kā sieva ir no vīra, tāpat arī vīrs ir caur sievu; bet viss tas ir no Dieva.
13 Spriežat paši, vai pieklājās, ka sieva Dievu lūdz neapsegta?
Consider this for yourselves: Is it proper for [RHQ] women to pray to God while they do not have coverings over their heads?
14 Jeb vai pati daba jums nemāca, ka tas vīram par negodu, kad tam gari mati,
(Everyone senses that it is disgraceful for men to have long hair./Doesn’t everyone sense that it is disgraceful for men to have long hair?) [RHQ]
15 Bet ja sievai gari mati: tad tas viņai par godu; jo mati viņai doti par apsegu.
But it is very delightful if women have long hair, because [God] gave them long hair to be like a [beautiful] covering [for their heads].
16 Bet ja kāds grib par to tiepties: mums tāda ieraduma nav, nedz Dieva draudzēm.
But whoever wants to argue [with me about my saying that women should have a covering over their heads when they pray or speak a message from God should consider the fact that] we [apostles] do not [permit] any other custom, and the [other] congregations of God do not have any other custom.
17 Es jūs pamācu un to nevaru uzteikt, ka jūs sanākat ne par svētību, bet par nesvētību.
Now I want to tell you [about some other things]. I do not praise you about them, because whenever you believers meet together, good [things do not happen]. Instead, bad things [happen].
18 Jo pirmā kārtā, kad jūs sanākat draudzē, es dzirdu, ka šķelšanās ir jūsu starpā, un pa daļai to gan ticu.
First of all, people have told me that when you gather together as a group [to worship God], you divide into groups [that are hostile to each other]. To some extent I believe that is true.
19 Jo šķelšanām gan vajag būt jūsu starpā, lai tie pastāvīgie jūsu starpā top zināmi.
It seems that you must divide into [groups that despise each other] in order that it might be clear/evident which people among you [God] approves of!
20 Kad nu jūs sanākat kopā, tad tā nenotiek, kā pieklājās baudīt Tā Kunga mielastu.
When you gather together, you [IRO] eat the meal [that you say is to remember the death of] the Lord [Jesus for us].
21 Jo pie mielasta ikviens steidzās paņemt savu paša ēdienu un cits paliek neēdis un cits ir pilns.
But [what happens when] you eat is that each person eats his own meal before [he thinks about sharing his food with anyone else]. As a result, [when the meal is over], some people are [still] hungry and others are drunk! [So it is not a meal that honors the Lord].
22 Jo vai tad jums nav māju, kur varat ēst un dzert? Jeb vai jūs Dieva draudzi nicinājiet un tos apkaunojiet, kam nav nekā? Ko lai jums saku? Vai lai jūs teicu? Šinī lietā es jūs neteicu.
([You act as though] you do not have your own houses in which you can eat and drink [whatever you want to]!/Do you not have your own houses in which you can eat and drink [whatever you want to]?) [RHQ] Do you not realize [RHQ] [that by acting selfishly in this way], it is God’s people whom you are despising, and it is the poor people [in your group] whom you are treating as though they were not important? What shall I say to you about that [RHQ]? Do [you expect] me to praise you [about what you do] [RHQ]? I certainly will not praise you!
23 Jo no Tā Kunga es to esmu dabūjis, ko atkal jums esmu mācījis, ka Tas Kungs Jēzus tanī naktī, kad Tas kļuva nodots, to maizi ņēma,
The Lord taught me these things that I also taught you: During the night that Jesus was betrayed {[Judas] enabled [the enemies of] the Lord Jesus to seize him}, he took some bread.
24 Un pateicies pārlauza un sacīja: ņemiet, ēdiet, tā ir Mana miesa, kas par jums top lauzta; to dariet Mani pieminēdami.
After he thanked God for it, he broke it into pieces. [Then he gave it to his disciples] and said, “This bread [represents] [MET] (OR, is) my body, that [I am about to sacrifice] for you. Eat bread in this [way again and again] to remember my [offering myself as a sacrifice for you].”
25 Tāpat arī to biķeri, pēc tā vakarēdiena, sacīdams: Šis biķeris ir tā jaunā derība iekš Manām asinīm. To dariet, cikkārt jūs to dzeriet, Mani pieminēdami.
Similarly, after they ate their meal, he took a cup [MTY] [of wine]. He [thanked God for it. Then he gave it to his disciples], saying, “[The wine in] [MTY] this cup [represents] [MET] (OR, is) my blood [that will flow from my body] ([to put into effect/to establish]) the new agreement [that God is making with people]. Whenever you drink wine in this way, do it to remember that [my blood flowed for you].”
26 Jo cikkārt jūs no šīs maizes ēdat un no šī biķera dzerat, tad pasludinājiet Tā Kunga nāvi, tiekams Tas nāk.
[Remember that] until the Lord [Jesus] returns [to the earth], whenever you eat the [bread that represents his body] and drink the wine [MTY] [that represents his blood], you are telling other people that he died [for you].
27 Tad nu, kas necienīgi ēd šo maizi, vai dzer Tā Kunga biķeri, tas būs noziedzīgs pie Tā Kunga miesas un asinīm.
So, those who eat that bread and drink that wine [MTY] in a way that is not proper [for those who belong to the Lord] are guilty of [acting in a way that is contrary to what] our [Lord intended when he offered] his body [as a sacrifice] and his blood [flowed when he died].
28 Bet lai cilvēks pats izmeklējās, un tā lai viņš ēd no šīs maizes un dzer no šī biķera.
Before any believer eats that bread and drinks that wine [MTY], he should think carefully about [what he is doing],
29 Jo kas necienīgi ēd un dzer, tas ēd un dzer sev pašam sodu, neizšķirdams Tā Kunga miesu.
because if anyone eats [the bread that represents Christ’s body] and drinks [the wine that represents his blood] without recognizing that all God’s [people should be united, God will] punish him [for doing that].
30 Tādēļ jūsu starpā daudz ir vāji un neveseli, un daudz ir aizmiguši (garīgi, iekš draudzes).
Many people in your group are weak and sick, and several have died [EUP] because of [the way they acted when they ate that bread and drank that wine].
31 Jo ja mēs paši sevi tiesātu, tad netaptu tiesāti.
If we would think carefully about what we [are doing], [God] would not judge [and punish] us [like that].
32 Bet kad mēs topam tiesāti, tad no Tā Kunga topam pārmācīti, lai ar pasauli netopam pazudināti.
But when the Lord judges [and punishes] us [for acting wrongly], he disciplines us [to correct us], in order that he will not [need to] punish us when he punishes [the people who do not trust in Christ] [MTY].
33 Tad nu, mani brāļi, kad jūs sanākat pie mielasta, tad gaidiet cits uz citu.
So, my fellow believers, when you gather together to eat [food to remember the Lord’s dying for you], wait until everyone [has arrived so that you can find out who does not have enough food].
34 Bet ja kas ir izsalcis, tas lai ēd mājās, lai jūs nesanākat par sodu. To citu es mācīšu, kad es nākšu.
Those who are so hungry [that they cannot wait to eat until everyone else has arrived] should eat in their own homes [first], in order that when you gather together God will not judge [and punish them for] ([being inconsiderate of/not being concerned about]) [others]. And when I come [to Corinth] I will give you instructions about other matters [concerning the Lord’s Supper].
