Bakorintha I 11
1 Mme lo tshwanetse go latela sekao sa me, fela jaaka ke latela sa ga Keresete.
Be imitators of me, even 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.
Now I praise you, that you remember me in all things, and hold firm the traditions, even as I delivered them to you.
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.
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 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 his 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.)
But every woman praying or prophesying with her head unveiled dishonors her head. For it is one and the same thing as if she were shaved.
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, let her also be shorn. But if it is shameful for a woman to be shorn or shaved, 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 have his head covered, because he is the image and glory of God, but the woman is the glory of the man.
8 Monna wa ntlha ga a tswa mo mosading, mme mosadi wa ntlha ene o dule mo monneng.
For man is not from woman, but woman from man;
9 Le Adamo, monna wa ntlha, o ne a sa direlwa thuso ya ga Efa, mme Efa o ne a diretswe Adamo.
for neither was man created for the woman, but woman for 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.
For this cause the woman ought to have authority on her head, because of the angels.
11 Mme gakologelwang gore mo leanong la Modimo banna le basadi ba a tlhokana.
Nevertheless, neither is the woman independent of the man, nor the man independent of the woman, 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 woman came from man, so a man also comes through a woman; but all things are from 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 for yourselves. Is it appropriate that a woman pray to God unveiled?
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.
Doesn't even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him?
But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her, for her hair is given to her for 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.
But if anyone seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither do God's churches.
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.
But in giving you this command, I do not praise you, that you come together not 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 of all, when you come together in the church, I hear that divisions exist 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 there also must be factions among you, that those who are approved may be revealed among you.
20 Fa lo kopana lotlhe go ja, ga se Selalelo sa Morena se lo se jang,
When therefore you assemble yourselves together, it is not the Lord's supper that you eat.
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 in your eating each one takes his own supper first. 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!
What, do you not have houses to eat and to drink in? Or do you despise God's church, and put them to shame who do not have? What should I tell you? Should I praise you? In this I do not praise you.
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 also I delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night in which he was betrayed 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”.
When he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, "This is my body, which is for you. Do this in memory 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 the same way he also took the cup, after the meal, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink, in memory 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 eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.
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.
Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks the Lord's cup in a manner unworthy will be guilty of the body and the 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.
But let a person examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread, and 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 eats and drinks eats and drinks judgment to himself, if he does not discern the body.
30 Ke gone ka mo bontsi jwa lona lo leng bokoa ebile lo lwala, mme bangwe ba setse ba sule.
For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep.
31 Mme fa lo itshekatsheka ka kelotlhoko pele ga lo o ja ga lo kitla lo atlholwa kgotsa lo otlhaiwa.
For if we discerned ourselves, we would not be 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.
But when we are judged, we are punished by the Lord, 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;
Therefore, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait one for 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.
But if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest your coming together be for judgment. The rest I will set in order whenever I come.
