1 Corinthians 11
1 [Follow my example], just like I [try to] follow Christ’s example.
Tsikombeo iraho hambañe amy te izaho ka ro mpiamy Norizañey.
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.
Ty andrengeako anahareo ry longo, le t’ie mahatiahy ahy amy ze he’e, naho tambozore’ areo o nafèn-droaeo, ami’ty do’e nitaroñako.
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.
Fa teako ho fohi’ areo te lohà’ ze hene ‘ndaty i Norizañey, le lohà’ ty rakemba ty lahilahy; le lohà’ i Norizañey t’i Andrianañahare.
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].
Toe manalatse ty añambone’e ze lahilahy mikolopoke naho mihalaly ndra mitoky.
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 manalatse ty añambone’e ka ze rakemba tsy mampikolopoke ty añambone’e t’ie miloloke ndra mitoky—fa hambañe amy te niharatse.
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].
Aa naho tsy mete mikolopo-doha ty rakemba, le hamake te hiharatse. Fe naho mahasalatse i rakembay te ho harateñe ndra hitsifañe le soa re te hikolopo-doha.
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.
Tsy kolopofa’ ty lahilahy ka ty añambone’e, amy t’ie ty vintan’ Añahare naho ty enge’e; le ty rakemba ro engen-dahilahy.
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.
(Toe tsy niboak’ami’ty rakemba ty lahilahy, fa ami’ty lahilahy ty rakemba.)
9 Also, [God] did not create [the first] man [to help] the woman. Instead, [he] created the woman [to help] the man.
Eka, tsy nitsenèñe ho a ty rakemba ty lahilahy, fa ty rakemba ho a ty lahilahy.
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].
Ty amy tsraeñey le soa re te añambone’ i rakemba ty viloñe t’ie aman-dily, ty amo anjelio.
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.
Ie amy zao, amy Talè ao, le tsy mifampiria ami’ty lahilahy ty rakemba, vaho tsy mihaha ami’ty rakemba ty lahilahy.
Le hambañe amy te boak’ami’ty lahilahy ty rakemba te añamy rakemba ka o lahilahio; vaho kila boak’ aman’ Añahare.
13 Consider this for yourselves: Is it proper for [RHQ] women to pray to God while they do not have coverings over their heads?
Mifañaraharà: Mañeva ty rakemba hao ty miloloke aman’ Añahare tsy mikolopoke?
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]
Aa tsy anare’ o sata’ ty tane toio hao te manalatse o lahilahio ty maròy lava?
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].
Fe naho apò’ ty rakemba ho lava ty maroi’e, le enge’e; amy te nitoloreñe aze ho fandrakofañe o maroi’eo.
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.
Aa naho eo ty te handietse, tsy aman-dilitse ila’e tika ndra o Fivorin’ Añahareo.
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].
Fe amo taroñeñe zao, tsy rengeko nahareo; ie tsy mifanontoñe ho ami’ty hasoa, fa ho ami’ty haraty.
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.
Valoha’e, naho mifanontoñe ho Fivory, inao t’ie mifampiriaria, fe mete hiantofako.
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!
(Toe tsy mahay tsy ama’ areo avao ty fifampitolahañe hampidodeàñe o niventèñe ama’ areoo.)
20 When you gather together, you [IRO] eat the meal [that you say is to remember the death of] the Lord [Jesus for us].
F’ie mifanontoñe, toe tsy ty hikama i sabadidak’ i Talèy,
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].
f’ie mikama, songa mandrambe ty mahakama’e heike; le ao ty kerè vaho ao ty jike.
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!
Hete! Tsy songa manañe anjomba hao hikamà’e naho hinoma’e? Ke rabioñe’ areo ty Fivorin’ Añahare, naho salare’ areo o rarakeo? Aa ino ty hitaroñako? Ho rengèko amy zay hao nahareo? Tsy hirengèako!
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 rinambeko amy Talè, i nitaroñakoy, te nandrambe mofo t’i Talè Iesoà amy haleñe nifoterañe azey;
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].”
nañandriañe re le finola’e vaho nanao ty hoe: Intoy ty sandriko ho anahareo, anò zao ho fitiahiañe 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].”
Hambañ’ amy zay, rinambe’e i fitoviy, ie fa nikama, le nanao ty hoe: Fañina vao ami’ty lioko ty fitovy toy. Anò zao amy fikama’ areo aze ho fitiahiañe ahiko.
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].
Aa le amy ikama’ areo ty mofo toy naho inomañe ty fitovy toy, ro mitaroñe ty havilasi’ i Talè ampara’ ty fitotsaha’e.
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].
Aa ndra ia ia mikama amy mofoy ndra minoñe amy fitovi’ i Talèy ami’ty tsy fañeva’e, le aman-kakeo ami’ty fañòva naho ami’ty lio’ i Talè.
28 Before any believer eats that bread and drinks that wine [MTY], he should think carefully about [what he is doing],
Aa le tsy mete tsy hitso-batañe heike ondatio vaho hikama amy mofoy naho hinoñe amy fitoviy.
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].
Amy t’ie mikama naho minoñe ro mikama naho minoñe fàtse ami’ty vata’e naho ie tsy maharedreke i fañovay.
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].
Izay ty mampaifoifo naho mahasiloke maro ama’areo, mbore nampiròtse ty ila’e.
31 If we would think carefully about what we [are doing], [God] would not judge [and punish] us [like that].
Ie mahafitsò-batañe ami’ty hatò tika le tsy ho zakaeñe.
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].
F’ie zakaeñe, lilove’ i Talè tsy mone hatrao-pàtse ami’ty voatse toy.
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].
Ie amy zao, ry longo naho mifanontoñe hikama, mifandiñisa.
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].
Naho eo ty saliko, soa re te hikama añ’anjomba’e añe, tsy mone hivory hafàtse. Halahareko ho anahareo ami’ty fiàviko o raha ila’eo.
