Bakorintha I 11
1 Mme lo tshwanetse go latela sekao sa me, fela jaaka ke latela sa ga Keresete.
Be ye imitators of me, as I am of the Messiah.
2 Ke a itumela, bakaulengwe ba ba rategang, ka gore lo ntse lo gakologelwa ebile lo dira dilo tsotlhe tse ke lo di rutileng.
Moreover I commend you, my Brethren, that in all things ye are mindful of me, and that ye hold fast the precepts 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.
And I would have you know, that the head of every man is the Messiah, and the head of the woman is the man, and the head of the Messiah 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, who prayeth or prophesieth with his head covered, dishonoreth 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, who prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered, dishonoreth her head; for she is on a level with her whose head is 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 be not covered, let her also be shorn; but if it be shameful 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.
The man, indeed, ought not to cover his head, because he is the likeness 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 the man was not from the woman, but the woman from the man.
9 Le Adamo, monna wa ntlha, o ne a sa direlwa thuso ya ga Efa, mme Efa o ne a diretswe Adamo.
Neither was the man created for the woman's sake, but the woman for the man's sake.
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 ought the woman to have on her head the mark of authority, because of the angels.
11 Mme gakologelwang gore mo leanong la Modimo banna le basadi ba a tlhokana.
Nevertheless, the man is not without the woman, nor the woman without the man, in our 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 was from the man, so the man is by the woman; and every thing is 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, among yourselves; is it becoming, that a woman pray to God with her head 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.
Doth not nature teach you, that in a man, if his hair groweth long, it is a reproach to him?
But for a woman, if her hair is abundant, 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 any one is contentious about these things, we on our part have no such custom, nor hath the church 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.
This which I now enjoin, is not as praising you; for ye have not made progress, but have deteriorated.
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.
Because, first; when ye assemble in the church, there are, I hear, divisions 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 are to be contentions among you, that the approved among you may be known.
20 Fa lo kopana lotlhe go ja, ga se Selalelo sa Morena se lo se jang,
When therefore ye come together, ye eat and drink, not as is becoming on the day of our Lord.
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.
But, one and another proceedeth to eat his own supper; and one is hungry, and another is drunken.
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! have ye no houses in which ye can eat and drink? Or, despise ye the church of God, and shame them who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? In this I praise you not.
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 have received from our Lord, that which I imparted to you; that our Lord Jesus, on the night 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”.
and blessed, and brake it, and said: " Take, eat; this is my body, which is broken for your sakes: thus do ye, in 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”.
So, after they had supped, he gave also the cup, and said: " This cup is the new testament in my blood: thus do ye, as often as ye drink it, in 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 ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye commemorate the death of our Lord, until his advent.
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.
He therefore, who eateth of the bread of the Lord, and drinketh of his cup, and is not worthy of it, is guilty of the blood of the Lord, and of his body.
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.
For this reason, a man should examine himself, and then eat of this bread, and drink of this 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, whoever eateth and drinketh of it, while he is unworthy, eateth and drinketh condemnation on himself, by 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.
For this cause, many among you are diseased and sickly, 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 would judge ourselves, we should 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 by our Lord, we are really chastised, 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;
Wherefore, my Brethren, when ye assemble to eat, wait ye 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.
And let him who is hungry, eat at home; that ye may assemble, not for condemnation. And as to other things, I will give you directions when I come.
