1 Corinthians 11
1 [Follow my example], just like I [try to] follow Christ’s example.
Aoka hanahaka ahy ianareo, dia tahaka ny anahafako an’ i Kristy.
2 I praise you because you remember all the things [that I taught you] and because you follow the instructions that I gave you. You have done just like I told you to do.
Ary midera anareo aho, satria mahatsiaro ahy amin’ ny zavatra rehetra ianareo sady mitana tsara ny fampianarana natolotra, araka ny nanolorako azy taminareo.
3 [Now], I want you to know that the one who has authority over [MTY] every man is Christ, and the ones who have authority over women are men (OR, their husbands), and the one who has authority over Christ is God.
Ary tiako ho fantatrareo fa Kristy no lohan’ ny lehilahy rehetra; ary ny lehilahy kosa no lohan’ ny vehivavy; ary Andriamanitra no lohan’ i Kristy.
4 [So] if any man [wears a covering over] his head when he prays or speaks a message God gave him, he disgraces himself [SYN].
Ny lehilahy rehetra, raha mivavaka na maminany ka misaron-doha, dia mahafa-boninahitra ny lohany.
5 Also, if any woman does not wear a covering over her head when she prays or speaks a message that God gave her, she disgraces herself (OR, she dishonors her husband). That would be acting like [SIM] [women who are ashamed because] their heads have been shaved.
Fa ny vehivavy rehetra kosa, raha mivavaka na maminany ka tsy misaron-doha, dia mahafa-boninahitra ny lohany, satria toy ny voaharatra izy.
6 So, if women do not wear coverings over their heads [when they pray or speak messages that God gave them], they should let someone shave their heads [so that they will be ashamed]. But since women are ashamed if someone cuts their hair [short] or shaves off their hair, they should wear coverings over their heads [when they pray or speak messages that God gave them].
Fa raha tsy misaron-doha ny vehivavy, dia aoka hohetezana izy; fa raha mahamenatra ny vehivavy ny hohetezana na ny hoharatana, dia aoka hisaron-doha izy.
7 Men should not wear coverings over their heads [when they pray or speak messages that God gave them], because they represent what God is like [MET] and they show how great God is. But women show how great men (OR, their husbands) are.
Ny lehilahy dia tokony tsy hisaron-doha, satria endrika sy voninahitr’ Andriamanitra izy; fa ny vehivavy kosa no voninahitry ny lehilahy.
8 [Remember that God intends that men have authority over women. We know that] because [God] did not make [the first] man, [Adam], from the [first] woman, [Eve]. Instead, he made that woman [from a bone that he took] from the man.
Fa tsy ny vehivavy no nihavian’ ny lehilahy; fa ny lehilahy no nihavian’ ny vehivavy.
9 Also, [God] did not create [the first] man [to help] the woman. Instead, [he] created the woman [to help] the man.
Fa tsy ny lehilahy no natao ho an’ ny vehivavy, fa ny vehivavy no ho an’ ny lehilahy.
10 For that reason, women should wear something [to cover] their heads [as a symbol of their being under their husbands’] [MTY] authority. They should also [cover their heads] so that the angels [will see that and rejoice].
Izany no mahamety ny vehivavy hisaron-doha noho ny amin’ ny anjely.
11 However, remember that [even though God created the first] woman from [the first] man, all other men [have been born] from women. So men cannot be independent of women, nor can women be independent of men. But all things, [including men and women], come from God.
Kanefa ao amin’ ny Tompo tsy misy vehivavy raha tsy misy lehilahy, ary tsy misy lehilahy raha tsy misy vehivavy.
Fa toy ny nihavian’ ny vehivavy avy tamin’ ny lehilahy, dia toy izany koa no nihavian’ ny lehilahy avy tamin’ ny vehivavy; fa Andriamanitra kosa no ihavian’ ny zavatra rehetra.
13 Consider this for yourselves: Is it proper for [RHQ] women to pray to God while they do not have coverings over their heads?
Hevero ao am-ponareo: Mendrika va raha mivavaka amin’ Andriamanitra ka tsy misaron-doha ny vehivavy?
14 (Everyone senses that it is disgraceful for men to have long hair./Doesn’t everyone sense that it is disgraceful for men to have long hair?) [RHQ]
Tsy mampianatra anareo va izao fomban’ ny zavatra rehetra izao fa raha lava volo ny lehilahy, dia mahafa-boninahitra azy izany?
15 But it is very delightful if women have long hair, because [God] gave them long hair to be like a [beautiful] covering [for their heads].
Fa raha lava volo kosa ny vehivavy, dia voninahitra ho azy izany fa ny volo no nomena azy ho fisaronana.
16 But whoever wants to argue [with me about my saying that women should have a covering over their heads when they pray or speak a message from God should consider the fact that] we [apostles] do not [permit] any other custom, and the [other] congregations of God do not have any other custom.
Fa raha misy olona toa tia ady, dia tsy manana izany fanao izany isika, na ny fiangonan’ Andriamanitra.
17 Now I want to tell you [about some other things]. I do not praise you about them, because whenever you believers meet together, good [things do not happen]. Instead, bad things [happen].
Ary raha manao izao didy izao aho, dia tsy midera anareo tsy akory, satria tsy miangona hihatsara ianareo, fa hiharatsy.
18 First of all, people have told me that when you gather together as a group [to worship God], you divide into groups [that are hostile to each other]. To some extent I believe that is true.
Fa voalohany indrindra, raha miangona ao am-piangonana ianareo, dia reko fa misy fisarahana eo aminareo; ary mba misy inoako ihany izany.
19 It seems that you must divide into [groups that despise each other] in order that it might be clear/evident which people among you [God] approves of!
Fa tsy maintsy misy fitokoana eo aminareo, mba haseho eo aminareo izay olona ankasitrahana.
20 When you gather together, you [IRO] eat the meal [that you say is to remember the death of] the Lord [Jesus for us].
Koa raha miangona ianareo, dia tsy misy hihinanana ny Fanasan’ ny Tompo akory.
21 But [what happens when] you eat is that each person eats his own meal before [he thinks about sharing his food with anyone else]. As a result, [when the meal is over], some people are [still] hungry and others are drunk! [So it is not a meal that honors the Lord].
Fa raha mihinana ianareo, dia samy homana ny sakafony avy aloha ianareo; koa ny anankiray dia noana, fa ny anankiray kosa mamo.
22 ([You act as though] you do not have your own houses in which you can eat and drink [whatever you want to]!/Do you not have your own houses in which you can eat and drink [whatever you want to]?) [RHQ] Do you not realize [RHQ] [that by acting selfishly in this way], it is God’s people whom you are despising, and it is the poor people [in your group] whom you are treating as though they were not important? What shall I say to you about that [RHQ]? Do [you expect] me to praise you [about what you do] [RHQ]? I certainly will not praise you!
Moa tsy manan-trano hihinanana sy hisotroana va ianareo? Sa manao tsinontsinona ny fiangonan’ Andriamanitra ka manome henatra ny tsy manana? Inona no holazaiko aminareo? Hidera anareo va aho? Tsy hidera anareo amin’ izany aho.
23 The Lord taught me these things that I also taught you: During the night that Jesus was betrayed {[Judas] enabled [the enemies of] the Lord Jesus to seize him}, he took some bread.
Fa izaho efa nandray tamin’ ny Tompo izay natolotro anareo kosa, fa Jesosy Tompo tamin’ iny alina iny izay namadihana Azy, dia nandray mofo,
24 After he thanked God for it, he broke it into pieces. [Then he gave it to his disciples] and said, “This bread [represents] [MET] (OR, is) my body, that [I am about to sacrifice] for you. Eat bread in this [way again and again] to remember my [offering myself as a sacrifice for you].”
ary rehefa nisaotra Izy, dia novakiny, ka hoy Izy: Ity no tenako ho anareo; izao no ataovy ho fahatsiarovana Ahy.
25 Similarly, after they ate their meal, he took a cup [MTY] [of wine]. He [thanked God for it. Then he gave it to his disciples], saying, “[The wine in] [MTY] this cup [represents] [MET] (OR, is) my blood [that will flow from my body] ([to put into effect/to establish]) the new agreement [that God is making with people]. Whenever you drink wine in this way, do it to remember that [my blood flowed for you].”
Dia araka izany koa ny kapoaka, rehefa nihinana, dia hoy Izy: Ity kapoaka ity no ilay fanekena vaovao amin’ ny rako; izao no ataovy ho fahatsiarovana Ahy, na oviana na oviana no misotro ianareo.
26 [Remember that] until the Lord [Jesus] returns [to the earth], whenever you eat the [bread that represents his body] and drink the wine [MTY] [that represents his blood], you are telling other people that he died [for you].
Fa na oviana na oviana ianareo no mihinana itony mofo itony sy misotro amin’ ny kapoaka, dia manambara ny fahafatesan’ ny Tompo ianareo mandra-pihaviny.
27 So, those who eat that bread and drink that wine [MTY] in a way that is not proper [for those who belong to the Lord] are guilty of [acting in a way that is contrary to what] our [Lord intended when he offered] his body [as a sacrifice] and his blood [flowed when he died].
Koa na zovy an zovy no mihinana ny mofo sy misotro amin’ ny kapoaky ny Tompo amin’ ny fanahy tsy mendrika, dia ho meloka ny amin’ ny tena sy ny ran’ ny Tompo izy.
28 Before any believer eats that bread and drinks that wine [MTY], he should think carefully about [what he is doing],
Fa aoka ny olona hamantatra ny tenany, dia aoka izy hihinana ny mofo sy hisotro amin’ ny kapoaka.
29 because if anyone eats [the bread that represents Christ’s body] and drinks [the wine that represents his blood] without recognizing that all God’s [people should be united, God will] punish him [for doing that].
Fa izay rehetra mihinana sy misotro dia mihinana sy misotro fanamelohana ho an’ ny tenany, raha tsy mamantatra ny tena izy.
30 Many people in your group are weak and sick, and several have died [EUP] because of [the way they acted when they ate that bread and drank that wine].
Noho izany dia betsaka no marary sy marofy eo aminareo, ary maro ihany no efa nodi-mandry.
31 If we would think carefully about what we [are doing], [God] would not judge [and punish] us [like that].
Fa raha mba mamantatra ny tenantsika isika, dia tsy mba hotsaraina.
32 But when the Lord judges [and punishes] us [for acting wrongly], he disciplines us [to correct us], in order that he will not [need to] punish us when he punishes [the people who do not trust in Christ] [MTY].
Fa raha tsaraina isika, dia faizan’ ny Tompo mba tsy hohelohina miaraka amin’ izao tontolo izao.
33 So, my fellow believers, when you gather together to eat [food to remember the Lord’s dying for you], wait until everyone [has arrived so that you can find out who does not have enough food].
Koa raha miangona hihinana ianareo, ry rahalahy, dia mifampiandrasa.
34 Those who are so hungry [that they cannot wait to eat until everyone else has arrived] should eat in their own homes [first], in order that when you gather together God will not judge [and punish them for] ([being inconsiderate of/not being concerned about]) [others]. And when I come [to Corinth] I will give you instructions about other matters [concerning the Lord’s Supper].
Ary raha misy olona noana, aoka izy hihinana no an-tranony, mba tsy hiangonanareo ho fahamelohana. Ary ny zavatra sisa dia halahatro, rehefa tonga aho.
