1 до коринтян 11
1 Будьте наслідувачами мене, як і я Христа!
[Follow my example], just like I [try to] follow Christ’s example.
2 Похваляю ж вас, браття, що ви все моє пам'ятаєте, і захо́вуєте так переда́ння, як я вам передав.
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 Хо́чу ж я, щоб ви знали, що всякому чоловікові голова — Христос, а жінці голова — чоловік, голова ж Христові — 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 Кожен чоловік, що молиться чи пророкує з головою покритою, — осоромлює він свою го́лову.
[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 І кожна жінка, що молиться чи пророкує з головою відкритою, осоромлює тим свою го́лову, бо це є те саме, як була́ б вона виголена.
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 Бо коли жінка не покривається, хай стрижеться вона; коли ж жінці сором стри́гтися чи голитися, нехай покривається!
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 Отож, чоловік покривати голови не повинен, бо він образ і слава Бога, а жінка — чоловікові слава.
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 чоловік не походить від жінки, але 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 не ство́рений бо чоловік ради жінки, але жінка ради чоловіка.
Also, [God] did not create [the first] man [to help] the woman. Instead, [he] created the woman [to help] the man.
10 Тому жінка повина мати на голові знака вла́ди над нею, ради анголів.
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 Одначе в Господі ані чоловік без жінки, ані жінка без чоловіка.
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; а все — від Бога.
13 Поміркуйте самі між собою, чи присто́йне воно, щоб жінка молилася Богові непокрита?
Consider this for yourselves: Is it proper for [RHQ] women to pray to God while they do not have coverings over their heads?
14 Чи ж природа сама вас не вчить, що коли чоловік запускає воло́сся, то безчестя для нього?
(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 Коли ж жінка ко́су запускає, — це слава для неї, бо замість покрива́ла да́на коса́ їй.
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 сперечатися хоче, — ми такого звича́ю не маємо, ані Церкви́ 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 Пропонуючи це вам, я не хвалю́, що збираєтесь ви не на ліпше, а на гірше.
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 найперше, я чую, що як схо́дитесь ви на збо́ри, то між вами бувають поді́лення, у що почасти я й 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 Бо мусять між вами й поділи бути, щоб відкрились між вами й досвідчені.
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 А далі, коли ви збираєтесь ра́зом, то не на те, щоб їсти Господню Вече́рю.
When you gather together, you [IRO] eat the meal [that you say is to remember the death of] the Lord [Jesus for us].
21 Бо кожен спішить з'їсти власну вече́рю, і один голодує, а другий впивається.
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 Хіба ж ви не маєте хат, щоб їсти та пити? Чи ви зневажаєте Божу Церкву, і осоромлюєте немаю́чих? Що маю сказати вам? Чи за це похвалю́ вас? Не похвалю́!
([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 Бо прийняв я від Господа, що й вам передав, що Господь Ісус ночі тієї, як ви́даний був, узяв хліб,
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 подяку віддав, і переломив, і сказав: „Прийміть, споживайте, це тіло Моє, що за вас лома́ється. Це робіть на спомин про Мене!“
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 і чашу взяв Він по Вечері й сказав: „Ця чаша — Нови́й Заповіт у Моїй крові. Це робіть, коли тільки бу́дете пити, на спомин про Мене!“
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 Бо кожного ра́зу, як будете їсти цей хліб та чашу цю пити, — смерть Господню звіщаєте, аж доки Він при́йде.
[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 Тому то, хто їстиме хліб цей чи питиме чашу Господню негідно, — буде винний супроти тіла та 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 люди́на випробо́вує себе, і так нехай хліб їсть і з чаші хай п'є.
Before any believer eats that bread and drinks that wine [MTY], he should think carefully about [what he is doing],
29 Бо хто їсть і п'є негі́дно, не розважаючи про тіло, той суд собі їсть і п'є!
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 Через це поміж вами багато недужих та хворих, і багато-хто засну́ли.
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 судили себе, то засу́джені ми не були́ б.
If we would think carefully about what we [are doing], [God] would not judge [and punish] us [like that].
32 Та засу́джені від Господа, караємося, щоб нас не засу́джено з світом.
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 Ось тому́, мої браття, схо́дячись на поживу, чека́йте один о́дного.
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 А коли хто голодний, нехай вдома він їсть, щоб не схо́дилися ви на о́суд. А про інше, як прийду́, заряджу́.
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].
