1 Corinthians 11

1Banini ngabalandeli ^a bami, njengoba lami okaKristu.

Isembatho sowesifazana enkonzweni

2Ngiyalibabaza-ke ^b, bazalwane, ukuthi liyangikhumbula ezintweni zonke ^c, lokuthi libambelele ezimisweni ^{d ,} ▼

▼ izimiso: kumbe,  imikhuba.

njengoba ngalinika. 3Kodwa ngithanda ukuthi lazi, ukuthi inhloko yawo wonke amadoda nguKristu ^f; lenhloko yowesifazana yindoda ^g; lenhloko kaKristu nguNkulunkulu ^h. 4Yonke indoda ekhulekayo loba eprofethayo ⁱ, ikhanda limboziwe, ilithela ihlazo ikhanda layo. 5Kodwa wonke owesifazana okhuleka kumbe aprofethe ^j ikhanda lingambombozwanga, ulithela ihlazo ^k elakhe ikhanda; ngoba lokhu kufanana-ke lophuciweyo ^l. 6Ngoba uba owesifazana engagubuzeli, futhi kagele; kodwa uba kukubi ^m kowesifazana ukugela kumbe ukuphucwa, kagutshuzelwe. 7Ngoba indoda kayifanele ukumbomboza ikhanda, ngoba ingumfanekiso ⁿ lodumo lukaNkulunkulu ^o; kodwa owesifazana ^p uludumo lwendoda ^q. 8Ngoba indoda kayivelanga kowesifazana, kodwa owesifazana endodeni ^r; 9ngoba futhi indoda kayidalelwanga owesifazana, kodwa owesifazana indoda ^s; 10ngenxa yalokhu owesifazana kufanele abe lamandla phezu kwekhanda ngenxa yezingilosi ^t. 11Kodwa indoda ^u kayingaphandle kowesifazana, lowesifazana kangaphandle kwendoda, eNkosini ^v. 12Ngoba njengoba owesifazana ^w evela endodeni, ngokunjalo lendoda ivela ngowesifazana, kodwa konke kuvela kuNkulunkulu ^x. 13Ziboneleni lina ^y; kufanele yini ukuthi owesifazana akhuleke kuNkulunkulu engambombozanga? 14Imvelo uqobo lwayo kayilifundisi yini, ukuthi uba indoda ilenwele ezinde, kulihlazo kuyo? 15Kodwa uba owesifazana elenwele ezinde, kuludumo kuye. Ngoba inwele uziphiwe ukuthi zibe yisimbombozo. 16Kodwa uba umuntu ^z ebonakala elenkani ^aa, thina kasilawo umkhuba onjalo, ngitsho lamabandla kaNkulunkulu ^ab.

17Kodwa ngokulaya lokhu kangilibabazi, ngoba libuthana ngokungekuhle kodwa ngokubi. 18Okokuqala ngoba nxa libuthana ebandleni, ngizwa ukuthi kukhona ukwehlukana phakathi kwenu ^ac; njalo nganxanye ngiyakukholwa. 19Ngoba kufanele ^ad ukuba lobubhazuka ^ae futhi phakathi kwenu, ukuze labo ^af abaqinisileyo babonakale ^ag phakathi kwenu. 20Ngakho nxa libuthana ndawonye, lokhu kakusikho ukudla isidlo seNkosi ^ah; 21ngoba ngulowo lalowo uthatha kuqala esakhe isidlo ekudleni ^ai, lomunye ulambile, lomunye udakiwe ^aj. 22Kanti kalilazo izindlu zokudlela lezokunathela? Kumbe lidelela ibandla likaNkulunkulu ^ak, liyangise ^al yini abangelakho? Ngingathini kini? Ngingalibabaza kulokhu yini? Kangilibabazi.

Indlela yokuphatha isidlo seNkosi

23Ngoba mina ngakwemukela ^am eNkosini, lokho lami engalinika khona, ukuthi iNkosi uJesu ^an ngobusuku eyanikelwa ngabo yathatha isinkwa, 24isibongile yasihlephuna ^ao, yathi: Thathani, lidle, lokhu kungumzimba wami owahletshunelwa lina ^ap; lokhu kwenzeni ukungikhumbula ^{aq , ar ,} ▼

▼ ukungikhumbula: Gr.  kube yisikhumbuzo sami.

. 25Ngokunjalo lenkezo, sebedlile ^at, yathi: Inkezo le iyisivumelwano esitsha egazini lami; lokhu kwenzeni, loba nini liyinatha, ukungikhumbula. 26Ngoba loba nini nxa lisidla lesisinkwa, linatha linkezo, litshumayela ukufa kweNkosi ize ifike ^au.

27Ngakho loba ngubani ^av odla lesisinkwa kumbe anathe inkezo yeNkosi ngokungafanelanga ^aw, uzakuba lecala ^ax lomzimba legazi leNkosi ^ay. 28Kodwa umuntu kumele azihlole ^az, ngokunjalo-ke adle okwesinkwa anathe okwenkezo; 29ngoba odlayo anathe ngokungafanelanga, uzidlela azinathele isigwebo ▼

▼ isigwebo: kumbe,  isahlulelo.

, engawehlukanisi ^bb umzimba weNkosi. 30Ngenxa yalokhu banengi kini ababuthakathaka labagulayo ^bc, lenengi lilele ^bd. 31Kodwa uba ^be besizihlolile ^bf thina, besingayikwahlulelwa; 32kodwa nxa sisahlulelwa, sikhuzwa yiNkosi ^bg, ukuze singalahlwa kanye lomhlaba. 33Ngakho, bazalwane bami, nxa libuthana ukuthi lidle, kalibomelelana. 34Njalo uba omunye elambile ^bh, kabokudla ekhaya ^bi; ukuze lingabuthaneli ukugwetshwa ^{bj ,} ▼

▼ ukugwetshwa: kumbe,  ukwahlulelwa.

. Okuseleyo-ke, ngizakulungisa ^bl mhla ngifikayo ^bm.
