1Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.
2Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you. 3But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. 4Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head. 5But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven. 6For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered. 7For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man. 8For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man. 9Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man. 10For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels. 11Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord. 12For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God. 13Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered? 14Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him? 15But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering. 16But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.
17Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse. 18For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it. 19For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you. 20When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord’s supper. 21For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken. 22What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not. 23For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread: 24And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. 25After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. 26For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come. 27Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. 28But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. 29For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body. 30For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. 31For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. 32But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world. 33Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another. 34And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.
1Tsatirani chitsanzo changa, monga inenso nditsatira chitsanzo cha Khristu.
Makhalidwe Oyenera pa Mapemphero
2Ndikukuyamikani chifukwa chondikumbukira pa zonse ndiponso posunga ziphunzitso monga ndinakuphunzitsirani. 3Tsopano ndikufuna muzindikire kuti Khristu ndiye mutu wa munthu aliyense, ndipo mwamuna ndiye mutu wamkazi, ndipo mutu wa Khristu ndi Mulungu. 4Mwamuna aliyense wopemphera kapena kunenera ataphimba mutu wake akunyoza mutu wakewo. 5Ndipo mkazi aliyense wopemphera kapena kunenera asanaphimbe mutu wake sakulemekeza mutu wakewo. Kuli chimodzimodzi kumeta mutu wake. 6Ngati mkazi saphimba kumutu kwake, ndiye kuti amete tsitsi lake. Ngati nʼchamanyazi kwa mkazi kungoyepula kapena kumeta mpala, ndiye kuti aphimbe kumutu kwake.
7Mwamuna sayenera kuphimba kumutu popeza ndi chifaniziro ndi ulemerero wa Mulungu; pamene mkazi ndi ulemerero wa mwamuna. 8Pakuti mwamuna sachokera kwa mkazi, koma mkazi kwa mwamuna. 9Ndipo mwamuna sanalengedwe chifukwa cha mkazi, koma mkazi analengedwera mwamuna. 10Pa chifukwa ichi, ndiponso pa chifukwa cha angelo, mkazi akuyenera kukhala ndi chizindikiro cha ulamuliro wake. 11Komabe mwa Ambuye, mkazi amadalira mwamuna ndipo mwamuna amadalira mkazi. 12Pakuti monga mkazi anachokera kwa mwamuna, momwemonso mwamuna anabadwa mwa mkazi. Koma zonse zichokera kwa Mulungu.
13Dziweruzeni. Kodi nʼchabwino kuti mkazi apemphere kwa Mulungu wopanda chophimba kumutu? 14Kodi chikhalidwe chathu sichitiphunzitsa kuti nʼchamanyazi kuti mwamuna akhale ndi tsitsi lalitali, 15koma mkazi akakhala ndi tsitsi lalitali ndi ulemerero wake? Pakuti mkazi anapatsidwa tsitsi lalitali monga chophimba kumutu. 16Ngati wina akufuna kutsutsapo pa zimenezi, ife ndiponso mipingo ya Mulungu tilibe machitidwe ena apadera koma ndi omwewa.
Mgonero wa Ambuye
17Koma popereka malangizo awa sindikufuna kukuyamikirani popeza mʼmisonkhano yanu mumachita zoyipa kuposa zabwino. 18Choyamba, ndikumva kuti mukasonkhana mu mpingo mumasankhana ndipo ndikukhulupirira kuti zimenezi kwinaku nʼzoona. 19Nʼzosakayikitsa kuti pali kugawikana pakati panu kuti adziwike amene ndi ovomerezeka ndi Mulungu. 20Tsono, mukasonkhana pamodzi, chimene mumadya si Mgonero wa Ambuye. 21Pakuti mukamadya, aliyense amangodzidyera zomwe anakonza. Wina amakhala ndi njala pamene wina amaledzera. 22Kodi mulibe nyumba zanu kumene mungamadyere ndi kumwa? Kapena mumapeputsa mpingo wa Mulungu ndi kuchititsa manyazi amene alibe kalikonse? Ndikunena chiyani kwa inu? Moti ndikuyamikireni pa zimenezi? Ayi, pa zinthu izi sindingakuyamikireni.
23Pakuti zimene ndinalandira kwa Ambuye ndi zomwe ndinakupatsani. Ambuye Yesu, usiku umene anaperekedwa uja, anatenga buledi. 24Atayamika ndi kumunyema ananena kuti, “Ili ndi thupi langa lomwe laperekedwa kwa inu; muzichita zimenezi pokumbukira Ine.” 25Chimodzimodzi, atatha kudya, anatenga chikho, nati, “Chikho ichi ndi pangano latsopano la magazi anga; imwani nthawi zonse pokumbukira Ine.” 26Pakuti nthawi zonse pamene mudya bulediyu ndikumwa chikhochi, mukulalikira imfa ya Ambuye mpaka Iye adzabweranso.
27Chifukwa chake, aliyense amene adya buledi kapena kumwa chikho cha Ambuye mʼnjira yosayenera adzachimwira thupi ndi magazi a Ambuye. 28Munthu adzisanthule yekha asanadye buledi kapena kumwa chikhochi. 29Popeza aliyense amene adya kapena kumwa mosazindikira thupi la Ambuye, amadya ndi kumwa chiweruzo chake chomwe. 30Nʼchifukwa chake pakati panu ambiri mwa inu ndi ofowoka ndi odwala, ndipo ambirinso agona tulo. 31Koma tikanadziyesa tokha sitikaweruzidwanso. 32Pamene tiweruzidwa ndi Ambuye, ndiye kuti akukonza khalidwe lathu kupewa kuti tingatsutsidwe pamodzi ndi anthu osakhulupirira.
33Ndiye tsono abale anga, pamene musonkhana pa chakudya, mudikirirane. 34Ngati wina ali ndi njala, adye ku nyumba kwake kuti pamene musonkhana pamodzi zisafike poti muweruzidwe nazo.
Ndipo ndikabwera ndidzakupatsani malangizo ena owonjezera.
