1 Wakorintho 11
1 Igeni mfano wangu, kama ninavyouiga mfano wa Kristo.
Be imitators of me, as I am of the Meshiha.
2 Ninawasifu kwa kuwa mnanikumbuka katika kila jambo na kwa kushika mafundisho niliyowapa.
But I commend you, my brethren, that in every thing you remember me; and that as I have delivered to you precepts, you hold them.
3 Napenda mfahamu kwamba kichwa cha kila mwanaume ni Kristo, na kichwa cha mwanamke ni mwanaume, nacho kichwa cha Kristo ni Mungu.
But I would that you know that the Meshiha is the head of every man; and the head of the woman is the man, and the head of the Meshiha is Aloha.
4 Kila mwanaume anayeomba au kutoa unabii akiwa amefunika kichwa chake, anakiaibisha kichwa chake.
Every man who prayeth or prophesieth having his head covered, dishonoureth his head.
5 Naye kila mwanamke anayeomba au kutoa unabii pasipo kufunika kichwa chake, anakiaibisha kichwa chake, kwani ni sawa na yeye aliyenyoa nywele.
And every woman who prayeth or prophesieth having her head uncovered, dishonoureth her head, for she is similar to one whose head is shaven.
6 Kama mwanamke hatajifunika kichwa chake, basi inampasa kunyoa nywele zake. Lakini kama ni aibu kwa mwanamke kukata au kunyoa nywele zake, basi afunike kichwa chake.
For if a woman be not covered, let her be shorn; but if it be shameful for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.
7 Haimpasi mwanaume kufunika kichwa chake kwa kuwa yeye ni mfano wa Mungu na utukufu wa Mungu, lakini mwanamke ni utukufu wa mwanaume.
For a man is not obligated to cover his head, because he is the likeness and the glory of Aloha; but woman is the glory of man.
8 Kwa maana mwanaume hakutoka kwa mwanamke, bali mwanamke alitoka kwa mwanaume.
For the man is not from woman, but the woman is from man.
9 Wala mwanaume hakuumbwa kwa ajili ya mwanamke, bali mwanamke kwa ajili ya mwanaume.
Neither was the man created for the sake of woman, but woman for the sake of man.
10 Kwa sababu hii na kwa sababu ya malaika, inampasa mwanamke awe na ishara ya mamlaka juu yake.
Because of this the woman is a debtor, that the power shall be upon her head, on account of the angels.
11 Lakini katika Bwana, mwanamke hajitegemei pasipo mwanaume na mwanaume hajitegemei pasipo mwanamke.
Nevertheless man is not without woman, neither is woman without man, in our Lord.
12 Kama vile mwanamke alivyoumbwa kutoka kwa mwanaume, vivyo hivyo mwanaume huzaliwa na mwanamke. Lakini vitu vyote vyatoka kwa Mungu.
For as a woman is from man, so is man by woman; but every thing is from Aloha.
13 Hukumuni ninyi wenyewe: Je, inafaa kwa mwanamke kumwomba Mungu bila kufunika kichwa chake?
Judge among yourselves, Is it comely for a woman with her head revealed to pray to Aloha?
14 Je, maumbile ya asili hayatufundishi kuwa ni aibu kwa mwanaume kuwa na nywele ndefu?
Does not nature itself teach you, that when a man's hair standeth, it is a disgrace to him?
15 Lakini mwanamke akiwa na nywele ndefu ni utukufu kwake? Kwa maana mwanamke amepewa nywele ndefu ili kumfunika.
But when a woman increaseth her hair, it is a glory to her; because her hair for a covering was given to her.
16 Kama mtu anataka kubishana juu ya jambo hili, sisi wala makanisa ya Mungu hatutambui desturi nyingine.
But if any man contendeth about these things, we have no such usage as this, neither the church of Aloha.
17 Basi katika maagizo yafuatayo, siwezi kuwasifu, kwa sababu mkutanikapo si kwa ajili ya faida bali kwa hasara.
But this I prescribe not as praising you, because you go not forward, but to the less you descend.
18 Kwanza, mnapokutana kama kanisa, nasikia kwamba kuna mgawanyiko miongoni mwenu, nami kwa kiasi fulani nasadiki kuwa ndivyo ilivyo.
For, first, when you are assembled in the church, there are divisions, (as) I hear, among you, and in some measure I believe.
19 Bila shaka lazima pawe na tofauti miongoni mwenu ili kuonyesha ni nani anayekubaliwa na Mungu.
For it is to be that contentions be among you, that they who are approved with you may be known.
20 Mkutanikapo pamoja si chakula cha Bwana mnachokula,
When then you are assembled, not as befitteth the day of the Lord you eat and drink,
21 kwa kuwa mnapokula, kila mmoja wenu anakula bila kuwangoja wengine. Mmoja hukaa njaa na mwingine analewa.
but each man his own supper before eateth, and one is hungry, and one drunken.
22 Je, hamna nyumbani kwenu ambako mnaweza kula na kunywa? Au mnalidharau kanisa la Mungu na kuwadhalilisha wale wasio na kitu? Niwaambie nini? Je, niwasifu juu ya jambo hili? La, hasha!
What? have you not houses (in) which to eat and drink? Or do you despise the church of Aloha, and shame those who have nothing to eat? What do I say to you? Do I praise you in this? I praise you not.
23 Kwa maana mimi nilipokea kutoka kwa Bwana yale niliyowapa ninyi, kwamba Bwana Yesu, usiku ule aliposalitiwa, alitwaa mkate,
FOR I received from our Lord that which I have delivered unto you: that our Lord Jeshu in that night when he was betrayed took bread;
24 naye akiisha kushukuru, akaumega, akasema, “Huu ndio mwili wangu, uliotolewa kwa ajili yenu. Fanyeni hivi kwa ukumbusho wangu.”
and he blessed and brake, and said, Take, eat, this (is) my body which for you is broken: so do to my remembrance.
25 Vivyo hivyo baada ya kula, akakitwaa kikombe, akisema, “Kikombe hiki ni agano jipya katika damu yangu. Fanyeni hivi kila mnywapo, kwa ukumbusho wangu.”
Likewise after they had supped he gave also the cup, and said, This cup is the new covenant in my blood; so do, whensoever you shall drink (it) to my remembrance.
26 Maana kila mlapo mkate huu na kunywea kikombe hiki, mnatangaza mauti ya Bwana mpaka ajapo.
For whensoever you eat this bread, and drink this cup, the death of our Lord you commemorate until his advent.
27 Kwa hiyo, mtu yeyote alaye mkate huo au kukinywea kikombe hicho cha Bwana isivyostahili, atakuwa na hatia ya dhambi juu ya mwili na damu ya Bwana.
Whoever then 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 Inampasa mtu ajichunguze mwenyewe, kabla ya kula mkate na kukinywea kikombe.
On this account a man should prove himself, and then eat of this bread, and drink of this cup.
29 Kwa maana mtu yeyote alaye na kunywa pasipo kuutambua mwili wa Bwana, hula na kunywa hukumu juu yake mwenyewe.
For whoever eateth and drinketh of it while not worthy, condemnation to himself he eateth and drinketh, because he hath not distinguished the body of the Lord.
30 Hii ndiyo sababu wengi miongoni mwenu ni wagonjwa na dhaifu na wengine wenu hata wamekufa.
On this account many among you are sick and infirm, and many who sleep.
31 Lakini kama tungejichunguza wenyewe tusingehukumiwa.
For if we judge ourselves, we shall not be judged.
32 Tunapohukumiwa na Bwana, tunaadibishwa ili tusije tukahukumiwa pamoja na ulimwengu.
But when we are judged of our Lord, we are chastised, that not with the world we might be condemned.
33 Kwa hiyo, ndugu zangu, mkutanikapo pamoja ili kula, mngojane.
Wherefore, my brethren, when you assemble to eat, wait for one another.
34 Kama mtu akiwa na njaa, ale nyumbani kwake ili mkutanapo pamoja msije mkahukumiwa. Nami nitakapokuja nitawapa maelekezo zaidi.
But whoever hungereth, in his (own) house let him feed; that you may not assemble unto condemnation. Concerning the rest, when I come I will direct you.
