1 Kolinitō 11

1 Ke mou muimui kiate au, ʻo hangē foki ko ʻeku [muimui ]ia Kalaisi.

You are to imitate me, just as I imitate Christ.

2 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.

Now I commend you for remembering me in everything and for maintaining the traditions, just as I passed them on to you.

3 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.

But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.

4 Ko e tangata kotoa pē ʻoku fai lotu pe kikite, kuo pūlou hono ʻulu, ʻoku fai taʻetaau ia mo hono ʻulu.

Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head.

5 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.

And every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for it is just as if her head were shaved.

6 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.

If a woman does not cover her head, she should have her hair cut off. And if it is shameful for a woman to have her hair cut or shaved off, she should cover her head.

7 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.

A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man.

8 He ʻoku ʻikai mei he fefine ʻae tangata; ka ko e fefine mei he tangata.

For man did not come from woman, but woman from man.

9 Pea naʻe ʻikai fakatupu ʻae tangata maʻae fefine; ka ko e fefine maʻae tangata.

Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.

10 Ko ia ʻoku totonu ai ke ʻai ʻe he fefine ʻae pūlou ʻi hono ʻulu, koeʻuhi ko e kau ʻāngelo.

For this reason a woman ought to have a sign of authority on her head, because of the angels.

11 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.

In the Lord, however, woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman.

12 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.

For just as woman came from man, so also man is born of woman. But everything comes from God.

13 Mou fifili ʻiate kimoutolu: ʻoku matamatalelei ke lotu ʻae fefine ki he ʻOtua taʻepūlou?

Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?

14 ‌ʻIkai ʻoku valoki loto ʻakimoutolu, kapau ʻoku louʻulu ʻae tangata, ko e meʻa fakamā ia kiate ia?

Doesn’t nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him,

15 Pea kapau ʻoku louʻulu ʻae fefine, ko e teunga ia kiate ia; he kuo foaki kiate ia ʻae louʻulu ko e pūlou.

but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering.

16 Pea kapau ʻoku fie fakakikihi ai ha taha, pea ʻoku ʻikai siʻi haʻatau meʻa pehē, pe ʻi he ngaahi siasi ʻoe ʻOtua.

If anyone is inclined to dispute this, we have no other practice, nor do the churches of God.

17 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.

In the following instructions I have no praise to offer, because your gatherings do more harm than good.

18 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.

First of all, I hear that when you come together as a church, there are divisions among you, and in part I believe it.

19 He kuo pau ke ai ʻae ngaahi faʻahinga ʻiate kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ke ʻilonga ai ʻakinautolu ʻiate kimoutolu ʻoku lelei.

And indeed, there must be differences among you to show which of you are approved.

20 Ko ia ʻoka mou ka fakataha ʻi he potu pe taha, ʻoku ʻikai ko e kai ia ʻoe ʻohomohe ʻae ʻEiki.

Now then, when you come together, it is not the Lord’s Supper you eat.

21 Koeʻuhi ʻoka kai, ʻoku taki taha tomuʻa toʻo mai ʻene kai ʻaʻana: pea fiekaia ʻae tokotaha, pea kona ʻae tokotaha.

For as you eat, each of you goes ahead without sharing his meal. While one remains hungry, another gets drunk.

22 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.

Don’t you have your own homes in which to eat and drink? Or do you despise the church of God and humiliate those who have nothing? What can I say to you? Shall I praise you for this? No, I will not!

23 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:

For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night He was betrayed, took bread,

24 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.”

and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”

25 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.”

In the same way, after supper He took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”

26 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.

For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes.

27 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.

Therefore, 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.

28 Ka ʻoku lelei ke ʻahiʻahi ia ʻe he tangata, pea ke pehē pe ʻene kai ʻi he mā, mo inu ʻi he ipu.

Each one must examine himself before he eats of the bread and drinks of the cup.

29 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.

For anyone who eats and drinks without recognizing the body eats and drinks judgment on himself.

30 Ko ia ʻoku vaivai ai mo mahaki ʻae tokolahi ʻiate kimoutolu, pea mohe ʻae tokolahi.

That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep.

31 He ka ne tau fakamaauʻi ʻakitautolu, pehē, ʻe ʻikai fakamaau kiate kitautolu.

Now if we judged ourselves properly, we would not come under judgment.

32 Pea ka fakamaaua ʻakitautolu, ko hotau tautea ia mei he ʻEiki, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa tau malaʻia fakataha mo māmani.

But when we are judged by the Lord, we are being disciplined so that we will not be condemned with the world.

33 Ko ia, hoku kāinga, ʻoka mou ka fakataha ke kai, mou fetataliʻaki pe kiate kimoutolu.

So, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.

34 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.

If anyone is hungry, he should eat at home, so that when you come together it will not result in judgment. And when I come, I will give instructions about the remaining matters.
