1 Corinthians 11
1 [Follow my example], just like I [try to] follow Christ’s example.
Kia rite ta koutou ki taku, me taku ka rite nei ki ta te Karaiti.
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.
Na, e whakamoemiti ana ahau ki a koutou, mo koutou ka mahara ki ahau i nga mea katoa, ka pupuri hoki i nga whakarerenga iho, i aku i tuku atu na ki a koutou.
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.
Na e mea ana ahau kia matau koutou, ko te Karaiti te o nga tane katoa; ko te tane te o te wahine; ko te Atua ano te o te Karaiti.
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].
Ko te tangata e inoi ana, e poropiti ana, me te hipoki ano te upoko, e whakaiti ana ia i tona upoko.
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.
Ko te wahine ia e inoi ana, e poropiti ana ranei, kahore nei he hipoki o te upoko, e whakaiti ana ia i tona upoko: e rite tonu ana tena ano kua oti tona te heu.
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].
Ki te kahore hoki te wahine e hipokina, kia waruhia hoki ia: ki te mea he mea whakama ki te wahine kia waruhia, kia heua ranei, me hipoki ia.
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.
E kore hoki e tika mo te tane kia hipokina tona upoko, ko te ahua hoki ia, ko te kororia o te Atua: ko te wahine ia te kororia o te tane.
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.
Ehara hoki i te mea no te wahine te tane, engari no te tane te wahine;
9 Also, [God] did not create [the first] man [to help] the woman. Instead, [he] created the woman [to help] the man.
Kihai ano te tane i hanga ma te wahine, engari ko te wahine ma te tane.
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].
Koia i tika ai hei runga i te o te wahine te tohu o te mana, he mea mo nga anahera.
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.
Ahakoa ra, e kore te tane e motuhia ketia i te wahine, e kore ano te wahine e motuhia ketia i te tane, i roto i te Ariki.
No roto hoki i te tane te wahine, waihoki i na te wahine mai te tane: na te Atua ano ia nga mea katoa.
13 Consider this for yourselves: Is it proper for [RHQ] women to pray to God while they do not have coverings over their heads?
Ma koutou tonu e whakaaro: he mea pai ranei kia inoi hipokikore te wahine ki te Atua?
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]
E kore ranei te whakaaro maori nei ano e ako i a koutou, ki te mea he makawe roroa o te tane, he mea whakatutua tera mona?
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].
Tena ki te mea he makawe roroa o te wahine, he mea whakakororia tera mona: kua hoatu hoki ona makawe ki a ia hei hipoki.
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.
Otira ki te mea he ahua totohe tetahi, kahore o matou ritenga pera, kahore hoki o nga hahi a te Atua.
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].
I ahau ia e korero nei i tenei ki a koutou, kahore aku whakamoemiti ki a koutou, kahore hoki koutou e whakamine mo te pai, engari mo te kino.
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.
Na ko te tuatahi, i a koutou ka whakamine ki roto ki te hahi, ka rongo ahau he wehewehenga kei roto i a koutou; a e whakapono ana ahau ki tetahi wahi.
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!
Kua takoto hoki kia whai titorehanga koutou, kia kitea ai te hunga e paingia ana i roto i a koutou.
20 When you gather together, you [IRO] eat the meal [that you say is to remember the death of] the Lord [Jesus for us].
Na, ka huihui koutou ki te wahi kotahi, e kore e taea kia kai i te hapa a te Ariki:
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].
I te mea hoki e kai ana koutou, ka kai tena, tena, i tana hapa i mua atu i tetahi: a ka hiakai tetahi, ka haurangi tetahi.
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!
He aha? Kahore koia o koutou whare e kai ai, e inu ai koutou? e whakahawea ana ranei koutou ki te hahi a te Atua, e mea ana hoki kia whakama te hunga kahore nei a ratou mea? Kia pehea atu taku kupu ki a koutou? kia whakamoemiti oti ahau ki a kou tou mo tenei mea? e kore ra ahau e whakamoemiti.
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.
Kua riro mai hoki i ahau i te Ariki taku i tuku atu ra ki a koutou, ara, i taua po i tukua ai ia, i tangohia e te Ariki, e Ihu, te taro:
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].”
A ka mutu te whakawhetai, ka whatia e ia, na ka mea ia, Tangohia, kainga; ko toku tinana tenei ka whatiwhatia nei mo koutou: meinga tenei hei whakamahara ki ahau.
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].”
Me te kapu ano i te mutunga o te hapa, me tana mea ano, Ko te kawenata hou tenei kapu i runga i oku toto: meinga tenei i nga inumanga katoa hei whakamahara ki ahau.
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].
I nga wa katoa hoki e kai ai koutou i tenei taro, e inu ai i tenei kapu, e whakakitea ana e koutou te matenga o te Ariki, kia tae mai ra ano ia.
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].
Mo reira ki te kai he tetahi, ki te inu he i te kapu a te Ariki, ka whai hara ia i te tinana, i nga toto, o te Ariki.
28 Before any believer eats that bread and drinks that wine [MTY], he should think carefully about [what he is doing],
Engari kia uiui te tangata ki a ia ano, ka kai ai i taua taro, ka inu ai i taua kapu.
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].
No te mea ki te kai he, ki te inu he tetahi, e kai ana, e inu ana i te whakawa mona, te whakaaro ko te tinana o te Ariki.
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].
No konei hoki he tokomaha i roto i a koutou e ngoikore ana, e mate ana, he tokomaha ano kua moe.
31 If we would think carefully about what we [are doing], [God] would not judge [and punish] us [like that].
Me i whakawa hoki tatou i a tatou ano, kihai i whakataua te he ki a tatou.
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].
Ki te whakawakia ia tatou, he mea whakaako tatou na te Ariki, kei tukua ngatahitia tatou me te ao ki te he.
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].
Heoi, e oku teina, ka huihui koutou ki te kai, me tatari tetahi ki tetahi.
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].
Ki te hiakai tetahi, hei roto i tona whare kai ai; kei ai to koutou huihuinga hei take whakawa. Ko era atu mea hoki, maku e whakatika ina tae atu ahau.
