1 Corinthians 11

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

1 فَاقْتَدُوا بِي كَمَا أَقْتَدِي أَنَا بِالْمَسِيحِ!

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

2 إِنِّي أَمْدَحُكُمْ لأَنَّكُمْ تَذْكُرُونَنِي فِي كُلِّ أَمْرٍ وَتُحَافِظُونَ عَلَى التَّعَالِيمِ كَمَا سَلَّمْتُهَا إِلَيْكُمْ.

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 وَلَكِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ تَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ الْمَسِيحَ هُوَ الرَّأْسُ لِكُلِّ رَجُلٍ؛ أَمَّا رَأْسُ الْمَرْأَةِ فَهُوَ الرَّجُلُ، وَرَأْسُ الْمَسِيحِ هُوَ اللهُ.

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

4 فَكُلُّ رَجُلٍ يُصَلِّي أَوْ يَتَنَبَّأُ، وَعَلَى رَأْسِهِ غِطَاءٌ، يَجْلِبُ الْعَارَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ.

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 وَكُلُّ امْرَأَةٍ تُصَلِّي أَوْ تَتَنَبَّأُ، وَلَيْسَ عَلَى رَأْسِهَا غِطَاءٌ، تَجْلِبُ الْعَارَ عَلَى رَأْسِهَا، لأَنَّ كَشْفَ الْغِطَاءِ كَحَلْقِ الشَّعْرِ تَمَاماً.

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 فَإِذَا كَانَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ لَا تُغَطِّي رَأْسَهَا، فَلْيُقَصَّ شَعْرُهَا! وَلَكِنْ، مَادَامَ مِنَ الْعَارِ عَلَى الْمَرْأَةِ أَنْ يُقَصَّ شَعْرُهَا أَوْ يُحْلَقَ، فَلْتُغَطِّ رَأْسَهَا.

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 ذَلِكَ لأَنَّ الرَّجُلَ عَلَيْهِ أَلّا يُغَطِّيَ رَأْسَهُ، بِاعْتِبَارِهِ صُورَةَ اللهِ وَمَجْدَهُ. وَأَمَّا الْمَرْأَةُ فَهِيَ مَجْدُ الرَّجُلِ.

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

8 فَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَمْ يُؤْخَذْ مِنَ الْمَرْأَةِ، بَلِ الْمَرْأَةُ أُخِذَتْ مِنَ الرَّجُلِ؛

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

9 وَالرَّجُلُ لَمْ يُوجَدْ لأَجْلِ الْمَرْأَةِ، بَلِ الْمَرْأَةُ وُجِدَتْ لأَجْلِ الرَّجُلِ.

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

10 لِذَا يَجِبُ عَلَى الْمَرْأَةِ أَنْ تَضَعَ عَلَى رَأْسِهَا عَلامَةَ الْخُضُوعِ، مِنْ أَجْلِ الْمَلائِكَةِ.

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

11 غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ فِي الرَّبِّ لَيْسَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ مِنْ دُونِ الرَّجُلِ، وَلا الرَّجُلُ مِنْ دُونِ الْمَرْأَةِ.

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

12 فَكَمَا أَنَّ الْمَرْأَةَ أُخِذَتْ مِنَ الرَّجُلِ، فَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ يَكْتَمِلُ بِالْمَرْأَةِ، وَإِنَّمَا كُلُّ شَيْءٍ هُوَ مِنَ اللهِ.

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

13 فَاحْكُمُوا إِذَنْ بِأَنْفُسِكُمْ: أَمِنَ اللّائِقِ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ الْمَرْأَةُ إِلَى اللهِ وَهِيَ مَكْشُوفَةُ الرَّأْسِ؟

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

14 أَمَا تُعَلِّمُكُمُ الطَّبِيعَةُ نَفْسُهَا أَنَّ إِرْخَاءَ الرَّجُلِ شَعْرَهُ عَارٌ عَلَيْهِ،

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

15 فِي حِينِ أَنَّ إِرْخَاءَ الْمَرْأَةِ لِشَعْرِهَا مَفْخَرَةٌ لَهَا، لأَنَّ الشَّعْرَ أُعْطِيَ لَهَا بِمَثَابَةِ حِجَابٍ.

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

16 أَمَّا إِذَا رَغِبَ أَحَدٌ فِي إِظْهَارِ الْمُشَاكَسَةِ، فَلَيْسَ لَنَا نَحْنُ مِثْلُ هَذِهِ الْعَادَةِ وَلا لِكَنَائِسِ اللهِ!

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

17 عَلَى أَنِّي، إِذْ أَنْتَقِلُ الآنَ لأُوصِيَكُمْ بِهَذَا، لَسْتُ أَمْدَحُكُمْ، لأَنَّ اجْتِمَاعَاتِكُمْ تَضُرُّ أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا تَنْفَعُ.

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 فَأَوَّلاً، سَمِعْتُ أَنَّكُمْ، حِينَ تَجْتَمِعُ جَمَاعَتُكُمْ، يَكُونُ بَيْنَكُمْ شِقَاقٌ. وَأَكَادُ أُصَدِّقُ ذَلِكَ،

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

19 لأَنَّهُ لابُدَّ مِنْ وُجُودِ خِلافَاتٍ بَيْنَكُمْ، حَتَّى يَبْرُزَ الْفَاضِلُونَ فِيكُمْ.

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

20 فَحِينَ تَجْتَمِعُونَ مَعاً فِي مَكَانٍ وَاحِدٍ، لَا تَجْتَمِعُونَ لأَكْلِ عَشَاءِ الرَّبِّ،

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

21 لأَنَّ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ يَسْبِقُ غَيْرَهُ لِيَتَنَاوَلَ عَشَاءَهُ الْخَاصَّ، فَيَظَلُّ الْوَاحِدُ جَائِعاً، وَيَشْرَبُ الآخَرُ حَتَّى يَسْكَرَ!

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 أَفَلَيْسَ عِنْدَكُمْ بُيُوتٌ تَأْكُلُونَ وَتَشْرَبُونَ فِيهَا؟ أَمْ إِنَّكُمْ تَحْتَقِرُونَ كَنِيسَةَ اللهِ وَتُهِينُونَ الَّذِينَ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ شَيْئاً؟ فَمَاذَا أَقُولُ لَكُمْ؟ أَأَمْدَحُكُمْ؟ عَلَى هَذَا لَسْتُ أَمْدَحُكُمْ!

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 فَإِنِّي قَدْ تَسَلَّمْتُ مِنَ الرَّبِّ مَا سَلَّمْتُكُمْ إِيَّاهُ. وَهُوَ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ يَسُوعَ، فِي اللَّيْلَةِ الَّتِي أُسْلِمَ فِيهَا، أَخَذَ خُبْزاً،

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 وَشَكَرَ، ثُمَّ كَسَّرَ الْخُبْزَ وَقَالَ: «هَذَا هُوَ جَسَدِي الَّذِي يُكْسَرُ مِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ اعْمَلُوا هَذَا لِذِكْرِي».

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 وَكَذَلِكَ أَخَذَ الْكَأْسَ بَعْدَ الْعَشَاءِ، وَقَالَ: «هَذِهِ الْكَأْسُ هِيَ الْعَهْدُ الْجَدِيدُ بِدَمِي اعْمَلُوا هَذَا، كُلَّمَا شَرِبْتُمْ، لِذِكْرِي».

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

26 إِذَنْ، كُلَّمَا أَكَلْتُمْ هَذَا الْخُبْزَ وَشَرِبْتُمْ هَذِهِ الْكَأْسَ، تُعْلِنُونَ مَوْتَ الرَّبِّ، إِلَى أَنْ يَرْجِعَ.

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 فَمَنْ أَكَلَ الْخُبْزَ، أَوْ شَرِبَ كَأْسَ الرَّبِّ بِغَيْرِ اسْتِحْقَاقٍ، يَكُونُ مُذْنِباً تُجَاهَ جَسَدِ الرَّبِّ وَدَمِهِ.

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

28 وَلكِنْ، لِيَفْحَصِ الإِنْسَانُ نَفْسَهُ، ثُمَّ يَأْكُلْ مِنَ الْخُبْزِ وَيَشْرَبْ مِنَ الْكَأْسِ.

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

29 لأَنَّ الآكِلَ وَالشَّارِبَ يَأْكُلُ وَيَشْرَبُ الْحُكْمَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ إِذْ لَا يُمَيِّزُ جَسَدَ الرَّبِّ.

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

30 لِهَذَا السَّبَبِ فِيكُمْ كَثِيرُونَ مِنَ الضُّعَفَاءِ وَالْمَرْضَى، وَكَثِيرُونَ يَرْقُدُونَ.

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

31 فَلَوْ كُنَّا حَكَمْنَا عَلَى نُفُوسِنَا، لَمَا حُكِمَ عَلَيْنَا.

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

32 وَلكِنْ، مَادَامَ قَدْ حُكِمَ عَلَيْنَا، فَإِنَّنَا نُؤَدَّبُ مِنْ قِبَلِ الرَّبِّ حَتَّى لَا نُدَانَ مَعَ الْعَالَمِ.

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

33 فَيَا إِخْوَتِي، عِنْدَمَا تَجْتَمِعُونَ مَعاً لِلأَكْلِ، انْتَظِرُوا بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضاً.

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 وَإِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ جَائِعاً فَلْيَأْكُلْ فِي بَيْتِهِ، لِكَيْ لَا يَكُونَ اجْتِمَاعُكُمْ لِلْحُكْمِ عَلَيْكُمْ. أَمَّا الْمَسَائِلُ الأُخْرَى، فَعِنْدَمَا آتِي أُرَتِّبُهَا.
