1 Corinthians 11

1 You are to imitate me, just as I imitate Christ.

1 Vorder mine Efterfølgere, ligesom også jeg er Kristi!

2 Now I commend you for remembering me in everything and for maintaining the traditions, just as I passed them on to you.

2 Men jeg roser eder, fordi I komme mig i Hu i alt og holde fast ved Overleveringerne, således som jeg har overleveret eder dem.

3 But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.

3 Men jeg vil, at I skulle vide, at Kristus er enhver Mands Hoved; men Manden er Kvindens Hoved; men Gud er Kristi Hoved.

4 Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head.

4 Hver Mand, som beder eller profeterer med tildækket Hoved, beskæmmer sit Hoved.

5 And every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for it is just as if her head were shaved.

5 Men hver Kvinde, som beder eller profeterer med utildækket Hoved, beskæmmer sit Hoved; thi det er lige det samme, som var hun raget.

6 If a woman does not cover her head, she should have her hair cut off. And if it is shameful for a woman to have her hair cut or shaved off, she should cover her head.

6 Thi når en Kvinde ikke tildækker sig, så lad hende også klippe sit Hår af; men er det usømmeligt for en Kvinde at klippes eller rages, da tildække hun sig!

7 A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man.

7 Thi en Mand bør ikke tildække sit Hoved, efterdi han er Guds Billede og Ære; men Kvinden er Mandens Ære.

8 For man did not come from woman, but woman from man.

8 Mand er jo ikke af Kvinde, men Kvinde af Mand.

9 Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.

9 Ej heller er jo Mand skabt for Kvindens Skyld, men Kvinde for Mandens Skyld.

10 For this reason a woman ought to have a sign of authority on her head, because of the angels.

10 Derfor bør Kvinden have et Ærbødighedstegn på Hovedet for Englenes Skyld.

11 In the Lord, however, woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman.

11 Dog er hverken Kvinde uden Mand eller Mand uden Kvinde i Herren.

12 For just as woman came from man, so also man is born of woman. But everything comes from God.

12 Thi ligesom Kvinden er af Manden, således er også Manden ved Kvinden; men alt sammen er det af Gud.

13 Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?

13 Dømmer selv: Er det sømmeligt, at en Kvinde beder til Gud med utildækket Hoved?

14 Doesn’t nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him,

14 Lærer ikke også selve Naturen eder, at når en Mand bærer langt Hår, er det ham en Vanære,

15 but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering.

15 men når en Kvinde bærer langt Hår, er det hende en Ære; thi det lange Hår er givet hende som et Slør.

16 If anyone is inclined to dispute this, we have no other practice, nor do the churches of God.

16 Men har nogen Lyst til at trættes herom, da have vi ikke sådan Skik, og Guds Menigheder ej heller.

17 In the following instructions I have no praise to offer, because your gatherings do more harm than good.

17 Men idet jeg giver følgende Formaning, roser jeg ikke, at I komme sammen, ikke til det bedre, men til det værre.

18 First of all, I hear that when you come together as a church, there are divisions among you, and in part I believe it.

18 For det første nemlig hører jeg, at når I komme sammen i Menighedsforsamling, er der Splittelser iblandt eder; og for en Del tror jeg det.

19 And indeed, there must be differences among you to show which of you are approved.

19 Thi der må endog være Partier iblandt eder, for at de prøvede kunne blive åbenbare iblandt eder.

20 Now then, when you come together, it is not the Lord’s Supper you eat.

20 Når I da komme sammen, er dette ikke at æde en Herrens Nadver.

21 For as you eat, each of you goes ahead without sharing his meal. While one remains hungry, another gets drunk.

21 Thi under Spisningen tager enhver sit eget Måltid forud, og den ene hungrer, den anden beruser sig.

22 Don’t you have your own homes in which to eat and drink? Or do you despise the church of God and humiliate those who have nothing? What can I say to you? Shall I praise you for this? No, I will not!

22 Have I da ikke Huse til at spise og drikke i? eller foragte I Guds Menighed og beskæmme dem, som intet have? Hvad skal jeg sige eder? Skal jeg rose eder? I dette roser jeg eder ikke.

23 For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night He was betrayed, took bread,

23 Thi jeg har modtaget fra Herren, hvad jeg også har overleveret eder: At den Herre Jesus i den Nat, da han blev forrådt, tog Brød,

24 and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”

24 takkede og brød det og sagde: “Dette er mit Legeme, som er for eder; gører dette til min Ihukommelse!”

25 In the same way, after supper He took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”

25 Ligeså tog han og, så Kalken efter Aftensmåltidet og sagde: “Denne Kalk er den nye Pagt i mit Blod; gører dette, så ofte som I drikke det, til min Ihukommelse!”

26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes.

26 Thi så ofte, som I æde dette Brød og drikke Kalken, forkynde I Herrens Død, indtil han kommer.

27 Therefore, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord.

27 Derfor, den, som æder Brødet eller drikker Herrens Kalk uværdigt, pådrager sig Skyld over for Herrens Legeme og Blod.

28 Each one must examine himself before he eats of the bread and drinks of the cup.

28 Men hvert Menneske prøve sig selv, og således æde han af Brødet og drikke af Kalken!

29 For anyone who eats and drinks without recognizing the body eats and drinks judgment on himself.

29 Thi den, som æder og drikker, æder og drikker sig selv en Dom til, når han ikke agter på Legemet*. { [*d. e. Herrens Legeme.] }

30 That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep.

30 Derfor ere mange skrøbelige og sygelige iblandt eder, og en Del sover hen.

31 Now if we judged ourselves properly, we would not come under judgment.

31 Men dersom vi bedømte os selv, bleve vi ikke dømte.

32 But when we are judged by the Lord, we are being disciplined so that we will not be condemned with the world.

32 Men når vi dømmes, tugtes vi af Herren, for at vi ikke skulle fordømmes med Verden.

33 So, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.

33 Derfor, mine Brødre! når I komme sammen til Måltid, da venter på hverandre!

34 If anyone is hungry, he should eat at home, so that when you come together it will not result in judgment. And when I come, I will give instructions about the remaining matters.

34 Når nogen hungrer, han spise hjemme, for at I ikke skulle komme sammen til Dom*. Men det øvrige skal jeg forordne, når jeg kommer. { [*d. e. pådrage eder Straf derved.] }
