1 Bakolinto 11
1 Bolanda ndakisa na ngai, ndenge ngai nalandaka ndakisa ya Klisto.
BE ye imitators of me, as I am of Christ.
2 Nakumisaka bino kati na makambo nyonso, pamba te bokanisaka ngai mpe bopengwaka te kati na malakisi oyo napesaki bino.
Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and hold fast the injunctions as I delivered them unto you.
3 Nzokande, nalingi boyeba ete Klisto azali Mokonzi ya mobali nyonso, mobali azali mokonzi ya mwasi, mpe Nzambe azali Mokonzi ya Klisto.
But I desire you to take notice that the head of every man is Christ; but the head of the woman is the man, and the head of Christ is God.
4 Mobali nyonso oyo asambelaka to asakolaka, wana moto na ye ezali ya kozipama, ayokisaka Mokonzi na ye soni.
Every man praying or prophesying, holding a veil over his head, dishonoureth his head;
5 Kasi mwasi nyonso oyo asambelaka to asakolaka, wana moto na ye ezali polele, ayokisaka mokonzi na ye soni, pamba te azali lokola mwasi oyo bakokola suki.
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 Mwasi oyo alataka kitambala te na moto na ye asengeli kokokola suki na ye. Kasi soki ezali soni mpo na mwasi kokatisa to kokokola suki, ekoleka malamu mpo na ye kolata kitambala na moto na ye.
For if the woman be not veiled, let her hair be clipped: but if it would be scandalous for a woman to appear clipped or shaved, let her be veiled.
7 Mobali asengeli te kolata kitambala, pamba te azali elilingi mpe lokumu ya Nzambe; kasi mwasi azali lokumu ya mobali.
For a man indeed ought not to veil his head, being the image and the glory of God; but the woman is the glory of the man.
8 Pamba te mobali akelama te wuta na mwasi, kasi mwasi akelama wuta na mobali.
For the man is not from the woman, but the woman from the man.
9 Mobali akelama te mpo na mwasi, kasi mwasi akelama mpo na mobali.
Also the man was not created for the woman, but the woman for the man.
10 Yango wana, likolo ya ba-anjelu, mwasi asengeli kozala na elembo ya bokonzi na moto na ye.
Therefore ought the woman to retain upon her head this badge of authority, because of the angels of the churches.
11 Nzokande, kati na Nkolo, mwasi azali te soki mobali azali te, mpe mobali azali te soki mwasi azali te.
Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, nor the woman without the man in the Lord.
12 Pamba te ndenge mwasi akelamaki wuta na mobali, ndenge mpe mobali abotamaki na nzela ya mwasi. Kasi makambo nyonso ewutaka na Nzambe.
For as the woman was taken out of the man, so also is the man by the woman: but all things are of God.
13 Botala nanu bino moko: boni, ezali malamu mpo na mwasi kosambela Nzambe moto polele?
Judge among yourselves, is it decent for a woman to be praying to God without a covering?
14 Boni, mokili yango moko eteyaka bino te ete ezali soni mpo na mobali kozala na suki milayi,
Does not even nature itself teach you, that if a man wear long flowing hair it is a dishonour to him?
15 kasi ezali nde lokumu mpo na mwasi kozala na suki milayi? Pamba te suki epesama na mwasi lokola kitambala.
But if a woman let her hair flow, it is an ornament to her; for the hair was given her for a covering,
16 Soki moto moko akanisi ete ezali malamu mpo na ye kotia tembe na tina na likambo oyo, biso elongo na Mangomba ya Nzambe tozalaka na ezaleli wana te.
But if any man mean to be contentious about it, we have no such custom, nor the churches of God.
17 Kati na malako oyo ezali kolanda, nakokumisa bino te; pamba te mayangani na bino esungaka bino te mpo bokoma bato ya esengo koleka, kasi ekomisaka bino lisusu bato na pasi makasi.
But in the matter I am going to denounce, I do not commend you, that ye meet together not for the better, but for the worse.
18 Liboso, nazali koyoka ete bozalaka na bokabwani kati na bino, tango boyaka na mayangani; mpe nazali kondima yango mwa moke.
For in the first place, when ye assemble in the church, I hear that there are divisions among you; and I partly believe it.
19 Solo, bokabwani esengeli kozala kati na bino mpo ete Baklisto ya solo bayebana kati na bino.
For there must be heresies among you, that they who are the tried ones, may be made manifest among you.
20 Boye, tango boyaka na mayangani, ezalaka lisusu te mpo na kolia bilei ya Nkolo;
When therefore ye assemble in the same place, it is not to eat the Lord’s supper.
21 pamba te emonanaka ete, soki kaka bokomi na mesa, moto na moto awelaka nanu kolia bilei na ye moko; mpe mpo na yango, bamoko batikalaka na nzala, mpe bamosusu balangwaka.
For one in the eating it taketh before another his own supper: and one is hungry, and another drinks to excess.
22 Boni, bozangi bandako oyo kati na yango bokoki kolia mpe komela? Boni, bosalaka bongo mpo na kotiola Lingomba ya Nzambe mpe kosambwisa bato oyo bazangi bilei? Nini nakoki koloba na bino? Nakumisa bino? Na likambo oyo, nakokumisa bino te!
What! have ye not houses to eat in and to drink? or despise ye the church of God, and make those ashamed who have none? What shall I say unto you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not.
23 Pamba te, nateyaki bino makambo oyo nazwaki epai ya Nkolo: Nkolo Yesu, na butu oyo batekaki Ye, azwaki lipa;
For I received of the Lord what also I delivered to you, That the Lord Jesus, in the night in which he was betrayed, took a loaf:
24 mpe, sima na Ye kozongisa matondi epai ya Nzambe, akataki yango mpe alobaki: « Oyo ezali nzoto na Ngai; epesami mpo na bino! Bosalaka boye mpo na kokanisa Ngai. »
and when he had blessed it, he brake it, and said, Take, eat; this is my body, which is broken for you: do this in remembrance of me.
25 Ndenge moko mpe, sima na Ye kolia, azwaki kopo mpe alobaki: « Kopo oyo ezali Boyokani ya sika kati na makila na Ngai! Tango nyonso bokobanda komela yango, bosalaka boye mpo na kokanisa Ngai. »
In like manner also he took the cup, after they had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do, as often as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
26 Boye, tango nyonso bokozala kolia lipa oyo mpe komela kopo oyo, bokozala kosakola kufa ya Nkolo kino akozonga.
For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew forth the death of the Lord till he come.
27 Yango wana, moto nyonso oyo akolia lipa to akomela kopo ya Nkolo na lolenge oyo ebongi te, akomema ngambo epai ya nzoto mpe makila ya Nkolo.
Wherefore, whosoever eateth of this bread, or drinketh the cup of the Lord unworthily, he is guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
28 Boye tika ete moto nyonso amitala malamu liboso ya kolia lipa mpe komela wuta na kopo!
But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread, and drink of the cup.
29 Pamba te moto oyo azali kolia lipa mpe komela, na kozanga kososola ete ezali nzoto ya Nkolo, azali komikatela etumbu na kolia mpe komela bongo.
For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh condemnation to himself, not distinguishing the Lord’s body.
30 Yango wana mingi kati na bino bakoma na bolembu mpe na bokono, mpe ebele kati na bino bakufa.
For this cause many are diseased and infirm among you, and some asleep in death.
31 Kasi soki tozalaki kososola oyo tozali, tolingaki kozwa etumbu te.
For if we thoroughly judged ourselves, we should not be judged of the Lord.
32 Nzokande, Nkolo apesaka biso etumbu mpo na kozongisa biso na nzela, mpo ete tozwa etumbu te elongo na mokili.
But being judged, we are corrected by the Lord, that we might not be condemned with the world.
33 Boye bandeko na ngai, tango boyaka na mayangani mpo na kolia elongo, bozelanaka.
Wherefore, when ye meet together to eat the Lord’s supper, wait for one another.
34 Moto nyonso oyo azali na nzala asengeli nanu kolia na ndako na ye, mpo ete mayangani na bino ememela bino etumbu te. Mpe na tina na makambo oyo etikali, nakopesela yango malako tango nakoya.
And if any man be hungry, let him eat at home; that ye meet not together for condemnation. And the other matters I will regulate when I come.
