Bakorintha I 11
1 Mme lo tshwanetse go latela sekao sa me, fela jaaka ke latela sa ga Keresete.
Become followers of me, as I also [am] of Christ.
2 Ke a itumela, bakaulengwe ba ba rategang, ka gore lo ntse lo gakologelwa ebile lo dira dilo tsotlhe tse ke lo di rutileng.
And I praise you, brothers, that in all things you remember me, and according as I delivered to you, you keep the deliverances,
3 Mme go na le sengwe se ke batlang go lo gakolola kaga sone: gore mosadi o kafa tlase ga taolo ya monna wa gagwe, monna wa gagwe o ka fa tlase ga taolo ya ga Keresete, Keresete ene o ka fa tlase ga taolo ya Modimo.
and I wish you to know that the Christ is the head of every man, and the head of a woman is the husband, and the head of Christ is God.
4 Ke gone ka moo, fa monna a gana go rola hutshe fa a rapela kgotsa a rera, o tlontlolola Keresete.
Every man praying or prophesying, having the head covered, dishonors his head,
5 Mme ke gone ka moo mosadi yo o rapelang kgotsa a porofesa mo pepeneneng a sa rwala sepe mo tlhogong o tlontlolola monna wa gagwe (gonne go rwala ga gagwe ke sesupo sa gore o ka fa tlase ga taolo ya monna.)
and every woman praying or prophesying with the head uncovered, dishonors her own head, for it is one and the same thing with her being shaven,
6 Ee, fa a gana go rwala tukwi, o tshwanetse go beola moriri wa gagwe otlhe mme fa go tlhabisa ditlhong gore mosadi a beolwe, jalo o tshwanetse go rwala sengwe mo tlhogong.
for if a woman is not covered—then let her be shorn, and if [it is] a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven—let her be covered;
7 Mme monna ga a a tshwanela go rwala sepe mo tlhogong (fa a obamela Modimo), gonne monna ke setshwano le kgalalelo ya Modimo; mme mosadi ke kgalalelo ya monna.
for a man, indeed, ought not to cover the head, being the image and glory of God, and a woman is the glory of a man,
8 Monna wa ntlha ga a tswa mo mosading, mme mosadi wa ntlha ene o dule mo monneng.
for a man is not of a woman, but a woman [is] of a man,
9 Le Adamo, monna wa ntlha, o ne a sa direlwa thuso ya ga Efa, mme Efa o ne a diretswe Adamo.
for also was a man not created because of the woman, but a woman because of the man;
10 Jalo mosadi o tshwa-netse go bipa tlhogo ya gagwe e le sesupo sa gore o ka fa tlase ga taolo ya monna, e le lebaka la gore baengele ba mo lemoge ba bo ba mo itumelele.
because of this the woman ought to have [a token of] authority on the head, because of the messengers;
11 Mme gakologelwang gore mo leanong la Modimo banna le basadi ba a tlhokana.
but neither [is] a man apart from a woman, nor a woman apart from a man, in the LORD,
12 Gonne le fa mosadi wa ntlha a dule mo monneng, banna botlhe ba tsetswe ke basadi go tloga foo, mme banna le basadi ba tswa mo Modimong Mmopi wa bone.
for as the woman [is] of the man, so also the man [is] through the woman, and all the things [are] of God.
13 Lona ka bo lona lo akanya jang kaga selo se? A go siame gore mosadi a rapele mo pepeneneng a sa bipa tlhogo?
Judge in your own selves: is it seemly for a woman to pray to God uncovered?
14 A ga se gore le yone tlholego e re ruta gore ditlhogo tsa basadi di tshwanetse go bipiwa? Gonne basadi ba ikgantsha ka meriri ya bone e meleele, fa monna yo o moriri moleele o mo tlhabisa ditlhong.
Does not even nature itself teach you, that if a man indeed has long hair, it is a dishonor to him?
And a woman, if she has long hair, it is a glory to her, because the hair has been given to her instead of a covering;
16 Mme fa mongwe a batla go ganetsa kaga mo, gotlhe mo ke ka go buang ke gore ga re rute sepe se sele go na le se, gore mosadi o tshwanetse go ipipa tlhogo fa a rapela kgotsa a porofesa mo phuthegong, mme diphuthego tsotlhe di ikutlwa ka mokgwa o le mongwe kaga se.
and if anyone thinks to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the assemblies of God.
17 Se sengwe mo thulaganyong ya me ya dilo tse ke lo kwalelang ka ga tsone ke sengwe se ke se ka keng ka dumalana le sone. Gonne go utlwala jaaka e ka re go kopana ga lona mo selalelong go dira bosula go na le tshiamo.
And declaring this, I give no praise, because you do not come together for the better, but for the worse;
18 Mongwe le mongwe o aga a mpolelela kaga kganetsanyo e e nnang mo dikopanong tse, le dikgaogano tse di tsogang magareng ga lona ebile ke setse ke rata go dumela.
for first, indeed, coming together in an assembly, I hear of divisions being among you, and I partly believe [it],
19 Mme ke gopola gore lo utlwa mo go le botlhokwa mo e leng gore lona ba lo agang lo siame lo tlaa itse lo bo lo gakologelwa!
for it is also necessary for sects to be among you, that those approved may become visible among you;
20 Fa lo kopana lotlhe go ja, ga se Selalelo sa Morena se lo se jang,
you, then, coming together at the same place—it is not to eat the LORD’s Dinner;
21 mme ke sa lona. Gonne ke boleletswe gore mongwe le mongwe o itlhaganelela go phamola dijo tsotlhe tse a ka di kgonang go na le go letela go di kgaogana le ba bangwe, jalo yo mongwe a tlhaelwe mme a tsamaye ka tlala fa ba bangwe ba nole ba tagilwe.
for each takes his own dinner before in the eating, and one is hungry, and another is drunk;
22 Ke eng? A mo ke boammaaruri tota? A ga lo kake lwa a ja lwa nwa kwa malapeng a lona, go tila go nyenyefatsa phuthego le go tlhabisa bahumanegi ditlhong ba ba se ka keng ba tlisa dijo. Ke tshwanetse go reng kaga dilo tse? A lo batla ke lo galaletsa? Ga ke dire jalo!
why, do you not have houses to eat and to drink in? Or do you despise the Assembly of God, and shame those not having? What may I say to you? Will I praise you in this? I do not praise!
23 Gonne se ke se Morena ka boene o se buileng ka Lomati lwa gagwe, mme ke lo boleletse pele: Gore mo bosigong jo Judase o mo okileng ka jone, Jesu o ne a tsaya senkgwe,
For I received from the LORD that which I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which He was delivered up, took bread,
24 mme ya re a sena go se lebogela mo Modimong, a se ngathoganya a se neela barutwa ba gagwe a re, “Tsayang se lo je. Se ke mmele wa me, o ke lo o nayang. Dirang se gore lo nkgakologelwe”.
and having given thanks, He broke, and said, “Take, eat, this is My body that is being broken for you; do this—to the remembrance of Me.”
25 Ka mokgwa o o tshwanang, a tsaya senwelo sa mofine morago ga selalelo a re, “Senwelo se ke kgolagano e ncha fa gare ga Modimo le lona, se se tlhomamisitsweng sa bo sa tsamaisiwa ka madi a me. Dirang se gore lo nkgopole ka nako tsotlhe fa lo se nwa”.
In like manner also the cup after the supping, saying, “This cup is the New Covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you may drink [it]—to the remembrance of Me”;
26 Gonne ka nako tsotlhe fa lo o ja senkgwe se lo bo lo nwa senwelo se, lo bolela molaetsa wa loso lwa Morena, gore o lo swetse. Dirang se go fitlhelela a tla gape.
for as often as you may eat this bread, and may drink this cup, you show forth the death of the LORD—until He may come;
27 Jalo fa mongwe a a ja senkgwe se a bo a a nwa mo senwelong se sa Morena a sa tshwanela, o leofela mmele le madi a Morena.
so that whoever may eat this bread or may drink the cup of the LORD unworthily, he will be guilty of the body and blood of the LORD:
28 Ke gone ka moo motho o tshwanetseng go itshekatsheka ka kelotlhoko pele ga a a ja senkgwe a bo a a nwa mo senwelong.
and let a man be proving himself, and so let him eat of the bread, and let him drink of the cup;
29 Gonne fa a a ja senkgwe se a bo a a nwa mo senwelong a sa tshwanela, a sa akanye kaga mmele wa ga Keresete le go re o rayang, o a bo a inwela ebile a ijela tshekiso; gonne o tshameka ka loso lwa Morena.
for he who is eating and drinking unworthily, he eats and drinks judgment to himself—not discerning the body of the LORD.
30 Ke gone ka mo bontsi jwa lona lo leng bokoa ebile lo lwala, mme bangwe ba setse ba sule.
Because of this many [are] weak and sickly among you, and many sleep;
31 Mme fa lo itshekatsheka ka kelotlhoko pele ga lo o ja ga lo kitla lo atlholwa kgotsa lo otlhaiwa.
for if we were discerning ourselves, we would not be being judged,
32 Le fa go ntse jalo fa re atlholwa re bo re otlhaiwa ke Morena, ke gore ga re kitla re senngwa le lefatshe lotlhe.
and being judged by the LORD, we are disciplined, that we may not be condemned with the world;
33 Jalo, bakaulengwe ba ba rategang, fa lo phuthaganela sejo sa Morena, ebong tirelo ya Selalelo, letelang ba bangwe;
so then, my brothers, coming together to eat, wait for one another;
34 fa mongwe a tshwerwe ke tlala thata o tshwanetse go ja kwa lapeng gore a se ka a itlisetsa kwatlhao fa lo phuthega lotlhe. Ke tlaa buisana le lona kaga dilo tse dingwe morago ga ke goroga.
and if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, that you may not come together to judgment; and the rest, whenever I may come, I will arrange.
