1 Korinthierbrevet 11
1 Varer mine efterföljare, såsom ock jag Christi.
[Follow my example], just like I [try to] follow Christ’s example.
2 Käre bröder, jag prisar eder, att I tänken på mig i all stycke, och hållen det sätt, som jag eder föresatt hafver.
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 Så vill jag, att I veta skolen, att Christus är hvars och ens mans hufvud; men mannen är qvinnones hufvud; men Gud är Christi hufvud.
[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 Hvar och en man, som beder, eller propheterar, och hafver något på hufvudet, han skämmer sitt hufvud.
[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 Men en qvinna, som beder eller propheterar med ohöljdt hufvud, hon skämmer sitt hufvud; ty det vore icke annars, än som hon vore rakad.
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 Vill hon icke hölja sig, så skare ock håret med af; nu, efter det står illa att henne är håret afskoret, eller afrakadt, så hölje sig.
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 Men mannen skall icke hölja sitt hufvud; ty han är Guds beläte och ära; men qvinnan är mansens ära.
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 Ty mannen är icke af qvinnone; utan qvinnan af mannenom.
[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 Och mannen är icke skapad för qvinnones skull; utan qvinnan för mansens skull.
Also, [God] did not create [the first] man [to help] the woman. Instead, [he] created the woman [to help] the man.
10 Derföre skall qvinnan hafva ena magt på hufvudet, för Änglarnas skull.
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 Dock är hvarken mannen utan qvinnone, eller qvinnan utan mannen, i Herranom.
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 Ty såsom qvinnan är af mannenom, så är ock mannen genom qvinnona; men alltsammans af Gudi.
13 Dömer vid eder sjelfva, om det är dägeligit, att en qvinna beder Gud ohöljd?
Consider this for yourselves: Is it proper for [RHQ] women to pray to God while they do not have coverings over their heads?
14 Eller lärer icke naturen eder det, att enom man är vanheder, om han hafver långt hår;
(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 Men qvinnone är ära, att hon hafver långt hår? Håret är henne gifvet till att skyla sig med.
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 Är det ock någor ibland eder, den i detta ärendet enträten är, han vete, att vi hafve icke den seden; och icke Guds församlingar heller.
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 Men detta måste jag befalla: Jag kan icke prisa, att I tillhopakommen, icke till förbättring, utan till förvärring.
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 I förstone, när I kommen tillhopa i församlingene, hörer jag att ibland eder är skiljaktighet; det jag ock väl endels tror.
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 Ty ibland eder måste ju vara parti, på det de rättsinnige skola varda uppenbare ibland eder.
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 När I nu tillhopakommen, så håller man då icke Herrans Nattvard.
When you gather together, you [IRO] eat the meal [that you say is to remember the death of] the Lord [Jesus for us].
21 Ty då man skall hålla nattvard, tager hvar och en sin egen nattvard framföre åt; och den ene hungrar, den andre är drucken.
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 Hafven I nu icke hus, der I uti äta eller dricka mågen? Eller förakten I Guds församling, och skämmen dem som intet hafva? Hvad skall jag säga eder? Skall jag prisa eder? Häruti prisar jag eder intet.
([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 Ty jag hafver undfått af Herranom, det jag ock eder gifvit hafver: ty Herren Jesus, i den natten, då han förrådder vardt, tog han brödet;
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 Tackade, bröt det, och sade: Tager, äter; detta är min lekamen, som för eder brytes; detta görer till min åminnelse.
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 Sammalunda ock kalken, efter nattvarden, och sade: Denne kalk är det nya Testamentet i minom blod; detta görer, så ofta I dricken, till min åminnelse.
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 Ty så ofta I äten af detta bröd, och dricken af denna kalk, skolen I förkunna Herrans död, tilldess han kommer.
[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 Hvilken nu ovärdeliga äter af detta bröd, eller dricker af Herrans kalk, han blifver saker på Herrans lekamen och blod.
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 Men pröfve menniskan sig sjelfva, och äte så af det brödet, och dricke af den kalken.
Before any believer eats that bread and drinks that wine [MTY], he should think carefully about [what he is doing],
29 Ty den ovärdeliga äter och dricker, han äter och dricker sig sjelfvom domen, icke åtskiljandes Herrans lekamen.
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 Derföre äro ock månge svage och kranke ibland eder, och en stor del sofva.
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 Ty om vi sjelfve dömde oss, så vorde vi icke dömde.
If we would think carefully about what we [are doing], [God] would not judge [and punish] us [like that].
32 Men då vi dömde varde, så varde vi näpste af Herranom; på det vi icke med verldene skole fördömde varda.
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 Derföre, mine käre bröder, när I tillhopakommen till att äta, så bide den ene den andra.
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 Men hungrar någor, han äte hemma; på det I icke tillhopakommen till fördömelse. Det andra vill jag skicka, när jag kommer.
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].
