1 Corinthians 11
1 [Follow my example], just like I [try to] follow Christ’s example.
Ke mou muimui kiate au, ʻo hangē foki ko ʻeku [muimui ]ia Kalaisi.
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.
Pea ko eni, ʻoku ou fakamālō kiate kimoutolu, ʻe kāinga, ʻi hoʻomou manatuʻi au ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē, ʻo fai ʻae ngaahi fekau, ʻo hangē ko ʻeku ʻatu ia kiate kimoutolu.
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.
Ka ko hoku loto ke mou ʻilo, ko e ʻulu ʻoe tangata kotoa pē ʻa Kalaisi; pea ko e ʻulu ʻoe fefine ʻae tangata; pea ko e ʻulu ʻo Kalaisi ʻae ʻOtua.
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 e tangata kotoa pē ʻoku fai lotu pe kikite, kuo pūlou hono ʻulu, ʻoku fai taʻetaau ia mo hono ʻulu.
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.
Ka ko e fefine kotoa pē ʻoku lotu pe kikite, ʻoku taʻepūlou hono ʻulu, ʻoku ne fai taʻetaau mo hono ʻulu: he ʻoku tatau ia mo ʻene tekefua.
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].
He kapau ʻoku ʻikai pūlou ʻae fefine, pea tekefua ia: pea kapau ko e meʻa fakamā ki he fefine ke kosikosi pe tekefua, pea pūlou 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.
He ko e moʻoni ʻoku ʻikai ngali mo e tangata ke pūlou hono ʻulu, he ko hono tatau ia mo e nāunau ʻoe ʻOtua: ka ko e nāunau ʻoe tangata ʻae fefine.
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.
He ʻoku ʻikai mei he fefine ʻae tangata; ka ko e fefine mei he tangata.
9 Also, [God] did not create [the first] man [to help] the woman. Instead, [he] created the woman [to help] the man.
Pea naʻe ʻikai fakatupu ʻae tangata maʻae fefine; ka ko e fefine maʻae tangata.
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].
Ko ia ʻoku totonu ai ke ʻai ʻe he fefine ʻae pūlou ʻi hono ʻulu, koeʻuhi ko e kau ʻāngelo.
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.
Ka ko eni, ʻoku ʻikai ʻai ʻae tangata kae ʻi he fefine, pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻai ʻae fefine kae ʻi he tangata, ʻi he ʻEiki.
Pea hangē ʻoku mei he tangata ʻae fefine, ʻoku pehē ʻoku mei he fefine ʻae tangata; ka ʻoku mei he ʻOtua ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē.
13 Consider this for yourselves: Is it proper for [RHQ] women to pray to God while they do not have coverings over their heads?
Mou fifili ʻiate kimoutolu: ʻoku matamatalelei ke lotu ʻae fefine ki he ʻOtua taʻepūlou?
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]
ʻIkai ʻoku valoki loto ʻakimoutolu, kapau ʻoku louʻulu ʻae tangata, ko e meʻa fakamā ia kiate ia?
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].
Pea kapau ʻoku louʻulu ʻae fefine, ko e teunga ia kiate ia; he kuo foaki kiate ia ʻae louʻulu ko e pūlou.
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.
Pea kapau ʻoku fie fakakikihi ai ha taha, pea ʻoku ʻikai siʻi haʻatau meʻa pehē, pe ʻi he ngaahi siasi ʻoe ʻOtua.
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].
Ka ʻi he meʻa ko eni ʻoku ou fakahā atu, ʻoku ʻikai te u fakamālō ai [ʻakimoutolu], koeʻuhi ʻoku mou fakataha kae ʻikai ke ʻāsili ai ʻae lelei, ka ko e kovi.
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.
He ko e ʻuluaki meʻa, ʻoka mou ka fakataha ko e siasi, ʻoku ou fanongo ʻoku ai ʻae ngaahi mavahevahe ʻiate kimoutolu; pea ʻoku ou meimei tui ki ai.
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!
He kuo pau ke ai ʻae ngaahi faʻahinga ʻiate kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ke ʻilonga ai ʻakinautolu ʻiate kimoutolu ʻoku lelei.
20 When you gather together, you [IRO] eat the meal [that you say is to remember the death of] the Lord [Jesus for us].
Ko ia ʻoka mou ka fakataha ʻi he potu pe taha, ʻoku ʻikai ko e kai ia ʻoe ʻohomohe ʻae ʻEiki.
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].
Koeʻuhi ʻoka kai, ʻoku taki taha tomuʻa toʻo mai ʻene kai ʻaʻana: pea fiekaia ʻae tokotaha, pea kona ʻae tokotaha.
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!
Ko e hā ia? He ʻoku ʻikai hamou ngaahi fale ke kai mo inu ai? Pe ko hoʻomou manuki ia ki he siasi ʻoe ʻOtua, mo fakamā ʻakinautolu ʻoku masiva? Te u pehē atu kiate kimoutolu ko e hā? Te u fakamālō ʻi he meʻa ni? ʻOku ʻikai te u fakamālō ai.
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.
He kuo u maʻu mei he ʻEiki ʻaia naʻaku ʻatu foki kiate kimoutolu, koeʻuhi naʻe toʻo ʻae mā ʻe he ʻEiki ko Sisu ʻi he pō ko ia naʻe lavakiʻi ai ia:
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].”
Pea hili ʻene ʻatu ʻae fakafetaʻi, ne ne pakipakiʻi ia, ʻo ne pehē, “Toʻo, ʻo kai: ko hoku sino eni, ʻaia kuo momo koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu: fai eni ko e fakamanatu kiate au.”
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].”
Pea pehē foki [ʻene toʻo ]ʻae ipu, hili ʻene kai ʻae ʻohomohe, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko e ipu eni ʻoe fuakava foʻou ʻi hoku toto: mou fai eni, ko e fakamanatu kiate au, ʻi hoʻomou faʻa inu ia.”
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].
He ʻoka mou ka kai ʻae mā ni, mo inu ʻi he ipu ni, ʻoku mou fakahā ai ʻae pekia ʻae ʻEiki kaeʻoua ke haʻu 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].
Pea ko ia ia ʻe kai ʻae mā ni, mo inu ʻi he ipu ʻoe ʻEiki, mo taʻefakaʻapaʻapa, ʻe halaia ai ia ʻi he sino mo e taʻataʻa ʻoe ʻEiki.
28 Before any believer eats that bread and drinks that wine [MTY], he should think carefully about [what he is doing],
Ka ʻoku lelei ke ʻahiʻahi ia ʻe he tangata, pea ke pehē pe ʻene kai ʻi he mā, mo inu ʻi he ipu.
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].
He ko ia ʻoku ne kai mo inu taʻefakaʻapaʻapa, ʻoku ne kai mo inu ʻae malaʻia kiate ia, ko ʻene taʻeʻiloʻi ʻae sino ʻoe ʻEiki.
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].
Ko ia ʻoku vaivai ai mo mahaki ʻae tokolahi ʻiate kimoutolu, pea mohe ʻae tokolahi.
31 If we would think carefully about what we [are doing], [God] would not judge [and punish] us [like that].
He ka ne tau fakamaauʻi ʻakitautolu, pehē, ʻe ʻikai fakamaau kiate kitautolu.
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].
Pea ka fakamaaua ʻakitautolu, ko hotau tautea ia mei he ʻEiki, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa tau malaʻia fakataha mo māmani.
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].
Ko ia, hoku kāinga, ʻoka mou ka fakataha ke kai, mou fetataliʻaki pe kiate kimoutolu.
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].
Pea kapau ʻoku fiekaia ha taha, ke kai pe ʻe ia ʻi hono ʻapi; koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa mou fakataha ki he malaʻia. Pea te u fakatonutonu hono toe ʻo kau ka hoko atu.
