1 KwabaseKhorinte 11
1 Banini ngabalandeli bami, njengoba lami okaKristu.
BE ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.
2 Ngiyalibabaza-ke, bazalwane, ukuthi liyangikhumbula ezintweni zonke, lokuthi libambelele ezimisweni njengoba ngalinika.
Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.
3 Kodwa ngithanda ukuthi lazi, ukuthi inhloko yawo wonke amadoda nguKristu; lenhloko yowesifazana yindoda; lenhloko kaKristu nguNkulunkulu.
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 Yonke indoda ekhulekayo loba eprofethayo, ikhanda limboziwe, ilithela ihlazo ikhanda layo.
Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head.
5 Kodwa wonke owesifazana okhuleka kumbe aprofethe ikhanda lingambombozwanga, ulithela ihlazo elakhe ikhanda; ngoba lokhu kufanana-ke lophuciweyo.
But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.
6 Ngoba uba owesifazana engagubuzeli, futhi kagele; kodwa uba kukubi kowesifazana ukugela kumbe ukuphucwa, kagutshuzelwe.
For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.
7 Ngoba indoda kayifanele ukumbomboza ikhanda, ngoba ingumfanekiso lodumo lukaNkulunkulu; kodwa owesifazana uludumo lwendoda.
For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.
8 Ngoba indoda kayivelanga kowesifazana, kodwa owesifazana endodeni;
For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man.
9 ngoba futhi indoda kayidalelwanga owesifazana, kodwa owesifazana indoda;
Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.
10 ngenxa yalokhu owesifazana kufanele abe lamandla phezu kwekhanda ngenxa yezingilosi.
For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.
11 Kodwa indoda kayingaphandle kowesifazana, lowesifazana kangaphandle kwendoda, eNkosini.
Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.
12 Ngoba njengoba owesifazana evela endodeni, ngokunjalo lendoda ivela ngowesifazana, kodwa konke kuvela kuNkulunkulu.
For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God.
13 Ziboneleni lina; kufanele yini ukuthi owesifazana akhuleke kuNkulunkulu engambombozanga?
Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?
14 Imvelo uqobo lwayo kayilifundisi yini, ukuthi uba indoda ilenwele ezinde, kulihlazo kuyo?
Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?
15 Kodwa uba owesifazana elenwele ezinde, kuludumo kuye. Ngoba inwele uziphiwe ukuthi zibe yisimbombozo.
But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.
16 Kodwa uba umuntu ebonakala elenkani, thina kasilawo umkhuba onjalo, ngitsho lamabandla kaNkulunkulu.
But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.
17 Kodwa ngokulaya lokhu kangilibabazi, ngoba libuthana ngokungekuhle kodwa ngokubi.
Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse.
18 Okokuqala ngoba nxa libuthana ebandleni, ngizwa ukuthi kukhona ukwehlukana phakathi kwenu; njalo nganxanye ngiyakukholwa.
For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it.
19 Ngoba kufanele ukuba lobubhazuka futhi phakathi kwenu, ukuze labo abaqinisileyo babonakale phakathi kwenu.
For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.
20 Ngakho nxa libuthana ndawonye, lokhu kakusikho ukudla isidlo seNkosi;
When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord’s supper.
21 ngoba ngulowo lalowo uthatha kuqala esakhe isidlo ekudleni, lomunye ulambile, lomunye udakiwe.
For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken.
22 Kanti kalilazo izindlu zokudlela lezokunathela? Kumbe lidelela ibandla likaNkulunkulu, liyangise yini abangelakho? Ngingathini kini? Ngingalibabaza kulokhu yini? Kangilibabazi.
What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not.
23 Ngoba mina ngakwemukela eNkosini, lokho lami engalinika khona, ukuthi iNkosi uJesu ngobusuku eyanikelwa ngabo yathatha isinkwa,
For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:
24 isibongile yasihlephuna, yathi: Thathani, lidle, lokhu kungumzimba wami owahletshunelwa lina; lokhu kwenzeni ukungikhumbula.
And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
25 Ngokunjalo lenkezo, sebedlile, yathi: Inkezo le iyisivumelwano esitsha egazini lami; lokhu kwenzeni, loba nini liyinatha, ukungikhumbula.
After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
26 Ngoba loba nini nxa lisidla lesisinkwa, linatha linkezo, litshumayela ukufa kweNkosi ize ifike.
For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come.
27 Ngakho loba ngubani odla lesisinkwa kumbe anathe inkezo yeNkosi ngokungafanelanga, uzakuba lecala lomzimba legazi leNkosi.
Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
28 Kodwa umuntu kumele azihlole, ngokunjalo-ke adle okwesinkwa anathe okwenkezo;
But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.
29 ngoba odlayo anathe ngokungafanelanga, uzidlela azinathele isigwebo, engawehlukanisi umzimba weNkosi.
For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body.
30 Ngenxa yalokhu banengi kini ababuthakathaka labagulayo, lenengi lilele.
For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.
31 Kodwa uba besizihlolile thina, besingayikwahlulelwa;
For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
32 kodwa nxa sisahlulelwa, sikhuzwa yiNkosi, ukuze singalahlwa kanye lomhlaba.
But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.
33 Ngakho, bazalwane bami, nxa libuthana ukuthi lidle, kalibomelelana.
Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another.
34 Njalo uba omunye elambile, kabokudla ekhaya; ukuze lingabuthaneli ukugwetshwa. Okuseleyo-ke, ngizakulungisa mhla ngifikayo.
And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.
