1 Corinthiens 11
La Bible du Semeur
11 Suivez donc mon exemple, comme moi, de mon côté, je suis celui de Christ.
La vie dans la communauté
L’homme et la femme dans l’Eglise
2 Je vous félicite de vous souvenir de moi en toute occasion et de maintenir fidèlement les traditions que je vous ai transmises.
3 Je voudrais cependant attirer votre attention sur un point : Christ est le chef[a] de tout homme, l’homme est le chef de la femme, le chef de Christ, c’est Dieu. 4 Si donc un homme prie ou prophétise la tête couverte, il outrage son chef. 5 Mais si une femme prie ou prophétise la tête non couverte, elle outrage son chef à elle : c’est comme si elle était rasée[b]. 6 Si donc une femme ne se couvre pas la tête, pourquoi, alors, ne se fait-elle pas aussi tondre les cheveux ? Mais s’il est honteux pour une femme d’être tondue ou rasée, qu’elle se couvre donc la tête.
7 L’homme ne doit pas avoir la tête couverte, puisqu’il est l’image de Dieu et reflète sa gloire. La femme, elle, est la gloire de l’homme. 8 En effet, l’homme n’a pas été tiré de la femme, mais la femme de l’homme[c], 9 et l’homme n’a pas été créé à cause de la femme, mais la femme à cause de l’homme. 10 Voilà pourquoi la femme doit porter sur la tête un signe d’autorité[d], à cause des anges. 11 Toutefois, dans l’ordre établi par le Seigneur, la femme n’existe pas sans l’homme, et l’homme n’existe pas sans la femme, 12 car si la femme a été tirée de l’homme, celui-ci, à son tour, naît de la femme et, finalement, tous deux doivent leur vie à Dieu.
13 Jugez vous-mêmes de cela : est-il convenable pour une femme de prier Dieu la tête découverte ? 14 Ne paraît-il pas naturel à tout le monde que c’est une indignité pour un homme de porter des cheveux longs 15 mais qu’une longue chevelure fait honneur à la femme ? Car la chevelure lui a été donnée pour lui servir de voile.
16 Si quelqu’un s’obstine à contester, nous lui répondons que ce qu’il propose n’est ni notre pratique ni celle des Eglises de Dieu.
Le repas du Seigneur
17 Puisque j’en suis aux directives, il me faut mentionner un point pour lequel je ne saurais vous féliciter. C’est que vos réunions, au lieu de contribuer à votre progrès, vous font devenir pires.
18 Tout d’abord j’entends dire que lorsque vous tenez une réunion, il y a parmi vous des divisions. – J’incline à croire qu’il y a une part de vérité dans ce qu’on raconte. 19 Sans doute faut-il qu’il y ait chez vous des divisions, pour que les chrétiens qui ont fait leurs preuves soient clairement reconnus au milieu de vous !
20 Ainsi, lorsque vous vous réunissez, on ne peut vraiment plus appeler cela « prendre le repas du Seigneur », 21 car, à peine êtes-vous à table, que chacun s’empresse de manger ses propres provisions[e], et l’on voit des gens manquer de nourriture pendant que d’autres s’enivrent.
22 S’il ne s’agit que de manger et de boire, n’avez-vous pas vos maisons pour le faire ? Ou bien traitez-vous avec mépris l’Eglise de Dieu et avez-vous l’intention d’humilier les membres pauvres de votre assemblée ?
Que puis-je vous dire ? Vais-je vous féliciter ? Certainement pas. 23 Car voici la tradition que j’ai reçue du Seigneur, et que je vous ai transmise : le Seigneur Jésus, dans la nuit où il fut livré pour être mis à mort, prit du pain[f], 24 et, après avoir prononcé la prière de reconnaissance, il le rompit en disant : « Ceci est mon corps : il est pour vous ; faites ceci en souvenir de moi. » 25 De même, après le repas, il prit la coupe et dit : « Cette coupe est la nouvelle alliance scellée de mon sang ; faites ceci, toutes les fois que vous en boirez, en souvenir de moi. » 26 Donc, chaque fois que vous mangez de ce pain et que vous buvez de cette coupe, vous annoncez la mort du Seigneur, et ceci jusqu’à son retour.
27 C’est pourquoi quiconque mangerait le pain ou boirait de la coupe du Seigneur d’une manière indigne se rendrait coupable envers le corps et le sang du Seigneur. 28 Que chacun donc s’examine sérieusement lui-même et qu’alors il mange de ce pain et boive de cette coupe. 29 Car celui qui mange et boit sans discerner ce qu’est le corps[g] se condamne lui-même en mangeant et en buvant ainsi. 30 C’est pour cette raison qu’il y a parmi vous tant de malades et d’infirmes, et qu’un certain nombre sont morts. 31 Si nous discernions ce que nous sommes, nous ne tomberions pas sous le jugement. 32 Mais les jugements du Seigneur ont pour but de nous corriger afin que nous ne soyons pas condamnés avec le reste du monde.
33 Ainsi donc, frères et sœurs, lorsque vous vous réunissez pour le repas en commun, attendez-vous les uns les autres. 34 Si quelqu’un a particulièrement faim, qu’il mange d’abord chez lui afin que vos réunions n’attirent pas sur vous le jugement de Dieu. Quant aux autres points, je les réglerai lors de mon passage chez vous.

哥林多前書 11
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
11 你們要效法我,正如我效法基督一樣。
敬拜的禮儀
2 我讚賞你們,因為你們凡事都想到我,並堅守我傳給你們的各種教導。
3 我希望你們知道,基督是男人的頭,丈夫是妻子的頭,上帝是基督的頭。 4 男人在禱告和講道時,若蒙著頭,就是羞辱自己的頭。 5 但婦女在禱告和講道時,若不蒙著頭,就是羞辱自己的頭,因為她就像剃光了頭髮一樣。 6 因此,如果婦女不願意把頭蒙起來,就該把頭髮剪掉。如果她覺得剪髮或剃頭是羞恥的,就應該蒙頭。 7 然而,男人不該蒙頭,因為男人是上帝的形像和榮耀,而女人是男人的榮耀。 8 因為男人並非出自女人,而女人卻是出自男人。 9 並且男人不是為女人而造的,女人卻是為男人而造的。
10 因此為了天使的緣故,女人在頭上應該有服權柄的記號。 11 不過在主裡面,女人不可沒有男人,男人不可沒有女人。 12 因為女人是從男人而來,男人又是女人生的,但萬物都是來自上帝。
13 你們自行斟酌吧,女人向上帝禱告時不蒙頭合適嗎? 14 按著人的天性,難道你們不知道男人留長髮是他的羞辱, 15 女人留長髮是她的榮耀嗎?因為頭髮是用來給女人蓋頭的。 16 如果有誰想反駁這些話,我只能說,這是我們和上帝的眾教會向來遵守的規矩。
守聖餐的規矩
17 現在我有話要吩咐你們,不是稱讚你們,因為你們聚會不但無益,反而有害。 18 首先,我聽說你們在聚會的時候拉幫結派,我相信這些話有幾分真實。 19 你們中間必然會有分裂的事,好顯出誰是經得起考驗的。
20 你們聚會的時候,不是在吃主的晚餐。 21 因為你們進餐的時候,各人只顧吃自己的,結果有些人挨餓,有些人醉酒。 22 難道你們不可以在家裡吃喝嗎?還是你們輕看上帝的教會,存心羞辱那些貧窮的弟兄姊妹呢?我該說什麼呢?稱讚你們嗎?不可能!
23 我把從主領受的傳給了你們,就是:主耶穌被出賣的那天晚上,祂拿起一個餅來, 24 向上帝祝謝後掰開,說,「這是我的身體,是為你們掰開的,你們要這樣做,為的是紀念我。」 25 晚餐後,祂又照樣拿起杯來,說,「這杯是用我的血立的新約。你們每逢喝的時候,要這樣做,為的是紀念我。」 26 所以,每當你們吃這餅、喝這杯的時候,就是宣告主的死,一直到主再來。
27 因此,無論是誰,若以不正確的心態吃主的餅、喝主的杯,就是得罪主的身體和主的血。 28 所以,人要先自我省察,才可以吃這餅喝這杯。 29 因為守聖餐的時候,若有人隨便吃喝,忘記了這是主的身體,他就是自招審判。 30 正因如此,你們當中有許多人身體軟弱,疾病纏身,死亡的也不少。 31 如果我們先自我省察,就不會遭受審判了。 32 主審判我們,是對我們的管教,免得我們和世人一同被定罪。
33 因此,我的弟兄姊妹,當你們吃聖餐時,要彼此等候。 34 如果有人饑餓,可以在家中先吃,免得你們聚會的時候自招審判。至於其餘的事,等我到了以後再安排。
1 Corinthians 11
Complete Jewish Bible
11 try to imitate me, even as I myself try to imitate the Messiah.
2 Now I praise you because you have remembered everything I told you and observe the traditions just the way I passed them on to you. 3 But I want you to understand that the head of every man is the Messiah, and the head of a wife is her husband, and the head of the Messiah is God. 4 Every man who prays or prophesies wearing something down over his head brings shame to his head, 5 but every woman who prays or prophesies with her head unveiled brings shame to her head — there is no difference between her and a woman who has had her head shaved. 6 For if a woman is not veiled, let her also have her hair cut short; but if it is shameful for a woman to wear her hair cut short or to have her head shaved, then let her be veiled. 7 For a man indeed should not have his head veiled, because he is the image and glory of God, and the woman is the glory of man. 8 For man was not made from woman, but woman from man; 9 and indeed man was not created for the sake of the woman but woman for the sake of the man. 10 The reason a woman should show by veiling her head that she is under authority has to do with the angels. 11 Nevertheless, in union with the Lord neither is woman independent of man nor is man independent of woman; 12 for as the woman was made from the man, so also the man is now born through the woman. But everything is from God. 13 Decide for yourselves: is it appropriate for a woman to pray to God when she is unveiled? 14 Doesn’t the nature of things itself teach you that a man who wears his hair long degrades himself? 15 But a woman who wears her hair long enhances her appearance, because her hair has been given to her as a covering. 16 However, if anyone wants to argue about it, the fact remains that we have no such custom, nor do the Messianic communities of God.
17 But in giving you this next instruction I do not praise you, because when you meet together it does more harm than good! 18 For, in the first place, I hear that when you gather together as a congregation you divide up into cliques; and to a degree I believe it 19 (granted that there must be some divisions among you in order to show who are the ones in the right). 20 Thus, when you gather together, it is not to eat a meal of the Lord; 21 because as you eat your meal, each one goes ahead on his own; so that one stays hungry while another is already drunk! 22 Don’t you have homes to eat and drink in? Or are you trying to show your contempt for God’s Messianic community and embarrass those who are poor? What am I supposed to say to you? Am I supposed to praise you? Well, for this I don’t praise you!
23 For what I received from the Lord is just what I passed on to you — that the Lord Yeshua, on the night he was betrayed, took bread; 24 and after he had made the b’rakhah he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you. Do this as a memorial to me”; 25 likewise also the cup after the meal, saying, “This cup is the New Covenant effected by my blood; do this, as often as you drink it, as a memorial to me.” 26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the death of the Lord, until he comes.
27 Therefore, whoever eats the Lord’s bread or drinks the Lord’s cup in an unworthy manner will be guilty of desecrating the body and blood of the Lord! 28 So let a person examine himself first, and then he may eat of the bread and drink from the cup; 29 for a person who eats and drinks without recognizing the body eats and drinks judgment upon himself. 30 This is why many among you are weak and sick, and some have died! 31 If we would examine ourselves, we would not come under judgment. 32 But when we are judged by the Lord, we are being disciplined, so that we will not be condemned along with the world.
33 So then, my brothers, when you gather together to eat, wait for one another. 34 If someone is hungry, he should eat at home, so that when you meet together it will not result in judgment.
As for the other matters, I will instruct you about them when I come.
1 Corinthians 11
New International Version
11 1 Follow my example,(A) as I follow the example of Christ.(B)
On Covering the Head in Worship
2 I praise you(C) for remembering me in everything(D) and for holding to the traditions just as I passed them on to you.(E) 3 But I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ,(F) and the head of the woman is man,[a](G) and the head of Christ is God.(H) 4 Every man who prays or prophesies(I) with his head covered dishonors his head. 5 But every woman who prays or prophesies(J) with her head uncovered dishonors her head—it is the same as having her head shaved.(K) 6 For if a woman does not cover her head, she might as well have her hair cut off; but if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should cover her head.
7 A man ought not to cover his head,[b] since he is the image(L) and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man. 8 For man did not come from woman, but woman from man;(M) 9 neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.(N) 10 It is for this reason that a woman ought to have authority over her own[c] head, because of the angels. 11 Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman. 12 For as woman came from man, so also man is born of woman. But everything comes from God.(O)
13 Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? 14 Does not the very nature of things teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him, 15 but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering. 16 If anyone wants to be contentious about this, we have no other practice—nor do the churches of God.(P)
Correcting an Abuse of the Lord’s Supper(Q)
17 In the following directives I have no praise for you,(R) for your meetings do more harm than good. 18 In the first place, I hear that when you come together as a church, there are divisions(S) among you, and to some extent I believe it. 19 No doubt there have to be differences among you to show which of you have God’s approval.(T) 20 So then, when you come together, it is not the Lord’s Supper you eat, 21 for when you are eating, some of you go ahead with your own private suppers.(U) As a result, one person remains hungry and another gets drunk. 22 Don’t you have homes to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God(V) by humiliating those who have nothing?(W) What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you?(X) Certainly not in this matter!
23 For I received from the Lord(Y) what I also passed on to you:(Z) The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, 24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body,(AA) which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.” 25 In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant(AB) in my blood;(AC) do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.” 26 For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.(AD)
27 So then, 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.(AE) 28 Everyone ought to examine themselves(AF) before they eat of the bread and drink from the cup. 29 For those who eat and drink without discerning the body of Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves. 30 That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep.(AG) 31 But if we were more discerning with regard to ourselves, we would not come under such judgment.(AH) 32 Nevertheless, when we are judged in this way by the Lord, we are being disciplined(AI) so that we will not be finally condemned with the world.(AJ)
33 So then, my brothers and sisters, when you gather to eat, you should all eat together. 34 Anyone who is hungry(AK) should eat something at home,(AL) so that when you meet together it may not result in judgment.
And when I come(AM) I will give further directions.
