1 до коринтян 11
1 Будьте послїдувателями моїми, яко ж і я Христів.
[Follow my example], just like I [try to] follow Christ’s example.
2 Хвалю ж вас, браттє, що все моє памятаєте і, яко ж я передав вам, перекази держите.
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 Хочу ж, щоб ви знали, що всякому чоловікові голова Христос, голова жінці чоловік, голова ж Христу - Бог.
[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 Усякий чоловік, що молить ся або пророкує, покривши голову, осоромлює голову свою.
[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 Усяка ж жінка, що молить ся або пророкує, не покривши голови, осоромлює голову свою; одно ж бо воно й те саме, якби була й обголена.
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 Коли бо не покриваєть ся жінка, нехай і стрижеть ся; коли ж сором жінцї стригти ся чи голити ся, нехай покриваєть ся.
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 Чоловік бо не має покривати голови, образом і славою Божою бувши, жінка ж славою чоловічою.
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 Бо не чоловік од жінки, а жінка від чоловіка.
[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 І не сотворено чоловіка ради жінки, а жінку ради чоловіка.
Also, [God] did not create [the first] man [to help] the woman. Instead, [he] created the woman [to help] the man.
10 Тим і мусить жінка знак власті мати на голові ради ангелів.
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 Однако ж нї чоловік без жінки, нї жінка без чоловіка, в Господї.
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 Бо як жінка від чоловіка, так і чоловік через жінку, все ж від Бога.
13 Самі між собою судїть: чи личить жінці непокритій молитись Богу?
Consider this for yourselves: Is it proper for [RHQ] women to pray to God while they do not have coverings over their heads?
14 Або чи не сама ж природа навчає вас, що коли чоловік мав довге волоссє, то сором йому?
(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 Жінка ж, коли має довге волоссє, се слава їй; бо волоссє замість покриття їй дано.
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 Коли ж хто єсть сварливим, то ми такого звичаю не маємо, нї церкви Божі.
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 Се ж завіщаючи, не хвалю, що не на лучче, а на гірше збираєтесь.
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 Бо найперш, як сходитесь ви в церкву, чую, що буває роздїленнє між вами, й почасти вірю.
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 Треба бо й єресям між вами бути, щоб вірні між вами явились.
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 Як же сходитесь до купи, то не на те, щоб Господню вечерю їсти.
When you gather together, you [IRO] eat the meal [that you say is to remember the death of] the Lord [Jesus for us].
21 Кожен бо свою вечерю попереду поїсть, і один голодує, другий ж впиваєть ся.
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 Хиба бо домів не маєте, щоб їсти й пити? чи церквою Божою гордуєте і осоромлюєте неимущих? Що ж вам сказати? чи похвалити вас у сьому? Не похвалю.
([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 Я бо прийняв од Господа, що й передав вам, що Господь Ісус тієї ночи, котрої був виданий, прийняв хлїб,
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 і, хвалу віддавши, переломив, і рече: Прийміть, їжте, се єсть тіло моє, що за вас ламлене; се робіть на мій спомин.
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 Так само й чашу по вечері глаголючи: Ся чаша єсть новий завіт у крові моїй; се робіть, скільки раз пєте, на мій спомин.
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 Скільки бо раз їсте хлїб сей і чашу сю пєте, смерть Господню звіщаєте, доки (Він) прийде.
[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 Тим же, хто їсти ме хлїб сей і пити ме чашу Господню недостойно, винен буде тїла і крови Господньої.
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 Нехай же розгледить чоловік себе і так нехай хлїб їсть і чашу пє.
Before any believer eats that bread and drinks that wine [MTY], he should think carefully about [what he is doing],
29 Хто бо їсть і пє недостойно, суд собі їсть і пє, нерозсуджаючи про тіло Господнє.
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 Того-то многі між вами недужі та слабі, й заснуло доволі.
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 Бо коли б ми самі себе розсуджували, то не були б осуджені.
If we would think carefully about what we [are doing], [God] would not judge [and punish] us [like that].
32 Бувши ж осудженими, від Бога караємось, щоб з сьвітом не осудились.
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 Тимже, браттє моє, зійшовшись їсти, один одного дожидайте.
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 Коли ж хто голодний, дома нехай їсть, щоб на суд не сходились. Про остальне ж, як прийду, дам порядок.
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].
