1 Kolinitō 11
1 Ke mou muimui kiate au, ʻo hangē foki ko ʻeku [muimui ]ia Kalaisi.
Imitate me, as I myself 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.
I praise you, indeed, because you never forget me, and are keeping my injunctions in mind, exactly as I laid them upon 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 am anxious that you should understand that the Christ is the Head of every man, that man is the Head of woman, and that God is the Head of the Christ.
4 Ko e tangata kotoa pē ʻoku fai lotu pe kikite, kuo pūlou hono ʻulu, ʻoku fai taʻetaau ia mo hono ʻulu.
Any man who keeps his head covered, when praying or preaching in public, dishonours him who is 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.
while any woman, who prays or preaches in public bare-headed, dishonours him who is her Head; for that is to make herself like one of the shameless women who shave their heads.
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.
Indeed, if a woman does not keep her head covered, she may as well cut her hair short. But, since to cut her hair short, or shave it off, marks her as one of the shameless women, let her keep her head covered.
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 have his head covered, for he has been from the beginning ‘the likeness of God’ and the reflection of his glory, but woman is the reflection of man’s glory.
8 He ʻoku ʻikai mei he fefine ʻae tangata; ka ko e fefine mei he tangata.
For it was not man who was taken from woman, but woman who was taken from man.
9 Pea naʻe ʻikai fakatupu ʻae tangata maʻae fefine; ka ko e fefine maʻae tangata.
Besides, man was not created for the sake of woman, but woman for the sake of man.
10 Ko ia ʻoku totonu ai ke ʻai ʻe he fefine ʻae pūlou ʻi hono ʻulu, koeʻuhi ko e kau ʻāngelo.
And, therefore, a woman ought to wear on her head a symbol of her subjection, because of the presence 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.
Still, when in union with the Lord, woman is not independent of man, or man 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 man comes by means of woman; and all things come from God.
13 Mou fifili ʻiate kimoutolu: ʻoku matamatalelei ke lotu ʻae fefine ki he ʻOtua taʻepūlou?
Judge for yourselves. Is it fitting that a woman should pray to God in public with her head uncovered?
14 ʻIkai ʻoku valoki loto ʻakimoutolu, kapau ʻoku louʻulu ʻae tangata, ko e meʻa fakamā ia kiate ia?
Does not nature herself teach us that, while for a man to wear his hair long is degrading 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.
a woman’s long hair is her glory? Her hair has been given her to serve 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, however, any one still thinks it right to contest the point — well, we have no such custom, nor have 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 giving directions on the next subject, I cannot praise you; because your meetings 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.
To begin with, I hear you and, to some extent, I believe it.
19 He kuo pau ke ai ʻae ngaahi faʻahinga ʻiate kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ke ʻilonga ai ʻakinautolu ʻiate kimoutolu ʻoku lelei.
Indeed, there must be actual parties among you, for so only will the men of real worth become known.
20 Ko ia ʻoka mou ka fakataha ʻi he potu pe taha, ʻoku ʻikai ko e kai ia ʻoe ʻohomohe ʻae ʻEiki.
When you meet together, as I understand, it is not possible to eat the Lord’s Supper;
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 tries to secure his own supper first, with the result that one has too little to eat, and another has too much to drink!
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.
Have you no houses in which you can eat and drink? Or are you trying to show your contempt for the Church of God, and to humiliate the poor? What can I say to you? Shall I praise you? In this matter I cannot praise you.
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 myself received from the Lord the account which I have in turn given to you — how the Lord Jesus, on the very night of his betrayal, took some 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, after saying the thanksgiving, broke it and said “This is my own body given on your behalf. Do this in memory 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.”
And in the same way with the cup, after supper, saying “This cup is the new Covenant made by my blood. Do this, whenever you drink it, in memory 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 whenever you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death — till 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 Lord’s cup, in an irreverent spirit, will have to answer for an offence against the Lord’s body and blood.
28 Ka ʻoku lelei ke ʻahiʻahi ia ʻe he tangata, pea ke pehē pe ʻene kai ʻi he mā, mo inu ʻi he ipu.
Let each man look into his own heart, and only then eat of the bread and drink from 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 the man who eats and drinks brings a judgment upon himself by his eating and drinking, when he does not discern the body.
30 Ko ia ʻoku vaivai ai mo mahaki ʻae tokolahi ʻiate kimoutolu, pea mohe ʻae tokolahi.
That is why so many among you are weak and ill, and why some are sleeping.
31 He ka ne tau fakamaauʻi ʻakitautolu, pehē, ʻe ʻikai fakamaau kiate kitautolu.
But, if we judged ourselves rightly, we should not be judged.
32 Pea ka fakamaaua ʻakitautolu, ko hotau tautea ia mei he ʻEiki, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa tau malaʻia fakataha mo māmani.
Yet, in being judged by the Lord, we are undergoing discipline, so that we may not have judgment passed upon us with the rest of the world.
33 Ko ia, hoku kāinga, ʻoka mou ka fakataha ke kai, mou fetataliʻaki pe kiate kimoutolu.
Therefore, my Brothers, when you meet together to eat the Supper, 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 a man is hungry, let him eat at home, so that your meetings may not bring a judgment upon you. The other details I will settle when I come.
