I Koryntian 11
1 Bądźcie moimi naśladowcami, jak i ja [jestem naśladowcą] Chrystusa.
[Follow my example], just like I [try to] follow Christ’s example.
2 A chwalę was, bracia, [za to], że we wszystkim o mnie pamiętacie i zachowujecie nauki tak, jak [je] wam przekazałem.
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 Lecz chcę, żebyście wiedzieli, że głową każdego mężczyzny jest Chrystus, a głową kobiety mężczyzna, a głową Chrystusa Bóg.
[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 Każdy mężczyzna, gdy się modli albo prorokuje z nakrytą głową, hańbi swoją głowę.
[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 I każda kobieta, gdy się modli albo prorokuje z nienakrytą głową, hańbi swoją głowę. Bo to jest jedno i to samo, jakby była ogolona.
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 Jeśli więc kobieta nie nakrywa [głowy], niech się też strzyże. A jeśli hańbiące jest dla kobiety być ostrzyżoną lub ogoloną, niech nakrywa [głowę].
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 Mężczyzna zaś nie powinien nakrywać głowy, gdyż jest obrazem i chwałą Boga. Kobieta zaś jest chwałą mężczyzny.
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 Bo mężczyzna nie jest z kobiety, lecz kobieta z mężczyzny.
[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 Mężczyzna bowiem nie został stworzony dla kobiety, ale kobieta dla mężczyzny.
Also, [God] did not create [the first] man [to help] the woman. Instead, [he] created the woman [to help] the man.
10 Dlatego kobieta powinna mieć na głowie [znak] władzy, ze względu na aniołów.
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 A jednak w Panu ani mężczyzna nie [jest] bez kobiety, ani kobieta nie jest bez mężczyzny.
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 Jak bowiem kobieta jest z mężczyzny, tak też mężczyzna przez kobietę, lecz wszystko jest z Boga.
13 Osądźcie sami: Czy wypada kobiecie modlić się do Boga bez nakrycia [głowy]?
Consider this for yourselves: Is it proper for [RHQ] women to pray to God while they do not have coverings over their heads?
14 Czyż sama natura nie uczy was, że gdy mężczyzna nosi długie włosy, przynosi mu to wstyd?
(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 Ale jeśli kobieta nosi długie włosy, przynosi jej to chwałę, gdyż włosy zostały jej dane za okrycie.
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 A jeśli ktoś wydaje się być kłótliwy, my takiego zwyczaju nie mamy, ani kościoły Boże.
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 Mówiąc to, nie chwalę [was], że się zbieracie nie ku lepszemu, ale ku gorszemu.
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 Najpierw bowiem słyszę, że gdy się zbieracie jako kościół, są wśród was podziały, i po części [temu] wierzę.
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 Bo muszą być między wami herezje, aby się okazało, którzy są wypróbowani wśród was.
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 Gdy więc się zbieracie, nie jest to spożywanie wieczerzy Pańskiej.
When you gather together, you [IRO] eat the meal [that you say is to remember the death of] the Lord [Jesus for us].
21 Każdy bowiem najpierw je własną wieczerzę i jeden jest głodny, a drugi pijany.
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 Czyż nie macie domów, aby jeść i pić? Albo czy gardzicie kościołem Bożym i zawstydzacie tych, którzy [nic] nie mają? Co mam wam powiedzieć? Czy mam was pochwalić? Za to [was] nie chwalę.
([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 Ja bowiem otrzymałem od Pana to, co wam przekazałem, że Pan Jezus tej nocy, której został wydany, wziął chleb;
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 A gdy złożył dziękczynienie, połamał i powiedział: Bierzcie i jedzcie, to jest moje ciało, które za was jest łamane. Czyńcie to na moją pamiątkę.
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 Podobnie po wieczerzy [wziął] też kielich, mówiąc: Ten kielich to nowy testament w mojej krwi. Czyńcie to, ilekroć będziecie pić, na moją pamiątkę.
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 Ilekroć bowiem będziecie jedli ten chleb i pili ten kielich, śmierć Pana zwiastujecie, aż przyjdzie.
[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 Dlatego też kto je ten chleb albo pije ten kielich Pański niegodnie, będzie winny ciała i krwi Pana.
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 Niech więc człowiek bada samego siebie i tak niech je z [tego] chleba, i niech pije z tego kielicha.
Before any believer eats that bread and drinks that wine [MTY], he should think carefully about [what he is doing],
29 Kto bowiem je i pije niegodnie, sąd własny je i pije, nie rozróżniając ciała Pańskiego.
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 Dlatego jest wśród was wielu słabych i chorych, a niemało też zasnęło.
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 Bo gdybyśmy sami siebie sądzili, nie bylibyśmy sądzeni.
If we would think carefully about what we [are doing], [God] would not judge [and punish] us [like that].
32 Lecz gdy jesteśmy sądzeni, przez Pana jesteśmy karceni, abyśmy nie byli potępieni [wraz] ze światem.
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 Tak więc, moi bracia, gdy się zbieracie, aby jeść, czekajcie jedni na drugich.
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 A jeśli ktoś jest głodny, niech zje w domu, żebyście się nie zbierali ku sądowi. Co do pozostałych [spraw], zarządzę, gdy przyjdę.
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].
