1 Korintiana 11
1 Aoka hanahaka ahy ianareo, dia tahaka ny anahafako an’ i Kristy.
So take me for your example, even as I take Christ for mine.
2 Ary midera anareo aho, satria mahatsiaro ahy amin’ ny zavatra rehetra ianareo sady mitana tsara ny fampianarana natolotra, araka ny nanolorako azy taminareo.
Now I am pleased to see that you keep me in memory in all things, and that you give attention to the teaching which was handed down from me to you.
3 Ary tiako ho fantatrareo fa Kristy no lohan’ ny lehilahy rehetra; ary ny lehilahy kosa no lohan’ ny vehivavy; ary Andriamanitra no lohan’ i Kristy.
But it is important for you to keep this fact in mind, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man, and the head of Christ is God.
4 Ny lehilahy rehetra, raha mivavaka na maminany ka misaron-doha, dia mahafa-boninahitra ny lohany.
Every man who takes part in prayer, or gives teaching as a prophet, with his head covered, puts shame on his head.
5 Fa ny vehivavy rehetra kosa, raha mivavaka na maminany ka tsy misaron-doha, dia mahafa-boninahitra ny lohany, satria toy ny voaharatra izy.
But every woman who does so with her head unveiled, puts shame on her head: for it is the same as if her hair was cut off.
6 Fa raha tsy misaron-doha ny vehivavy, dia aoka hohetezana izy; fa raha mahamenatra ny vehivavy ny hohetezana na ny hoharatana, dia aoka hisaron-doha izy.
For if a woman is not veiled, let her hair be cut off; but if it is a shame to a woman to have her hair cut off, let her be veiled.
7 Ny lehilahy dia tokony tsy hisaron-doha, satria endrika sy voninahitr’ Andriamanitra izy; fa ny vehivavy kosa no voninahitry ny lehilahy.
For it is not right for a man to have his head covered, because he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.
8 Fa tsy ny vehivavy no nihavian’ ny lehilahy; fa ny lehilahy no nihavian’ ny vehivavy.
For the man did not come from the woman, but the woman from the man.
9 Fa tsy ny lehilahy no natao ho an’ ny vehivavy, fa ny vehivavy no ho an’ ny lehilahy.
And the man was not made for the woman, but the woman for the man.
10 Izany no mahamety ny vehivavy hisaron-doha noho ny amin’ ny anjely.
For this reason it is right for the woman to have a sign of authority on her head, because of the angels.
11 Kanefa ao amin’ ny Tompo tsy misy vehivavy raha tsy misy lehilahy, ary tsy misy lehilahy raha tsy misy vehivavy.
But the woman is not separate from the man, and the man is not separate from the woman in the Lord.
12 Fa toy ny nihavian’ ny vehivavy avy tamin’ ny lehilahy, dia toy izany koa no nihavian’ ny lehilahy avy tamin’ ny vehivavy; fa Andriamanitra kosa no ihavian’ ny zavatra rehetra.
For as the woman is from the man, so the man is through the woman; but all things are from God.
13 Hevero ao am-ponareo: Mendrika va raha mivavaka amin’ Andriamanitra ka tsy misaron-doha ny vehivavy?
Be judges yourselves of the question: does it seem right for a woman to take part in prayer unveiled?
14 Tsy mampianatra anareo va izao fomban’ ny zavatra rehetra izao fa raha lava volo ny lehilahy, dia mahafa-boninahitra azy izany?
Does it not seem natural to you that if a man has long hair, it is a cause of shame to him?
15 Fa raha lava volo kosa ny vehivavy, dia voninahitra ho azy izany fa ny volo no nomena azy ho fisaronana.
But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given to her for a covering.
16 Fa raha misy olona toa tia ady, dia tsy manana izany fanao izany isika, na ny fiangonan’ Andriamanitra.
But if any man will not be ruled in this question, this is not our way of doing things, and it is not done in the churches of God.
17 Ary raha manao izao didy izao aho, dia tsy midera anareo tsy akory, satria tsy miangona hihatsara ianareo, fa hiharatsy.
But in giving you this order, there is one thing about which I am not pleased: it is that when you come together it is not for the better but for the worse.
18 Fa voalohany indrindra, raha miangona ao am-piangonana ianareo, dia reko fa misy fisarahana eo aminareo; ary mba misy inoako ihany izany.
For first of all, it has come to my ears that when you come together in the church, there are divisions among you, and I take the statement to be true in part.
19 Fa tsy maintsy misy fitokoana eo aminareo, mba haseho eo aminareo izay olona ankasitrahana.
For divisions are necessary among you, in order that those who have God's approval may be clearly seen among you.
20 Koa raha miangona ianareo, dia tsy misy hihinanana ny Fanasan’ ny Tompo akory.
But now, when you come together, it is not possible to take the holy meal of the Lord:
21 Fa raha mihinana ianareo, dia samy homana ny sakafony avy aloha ianareo; koa ny anankiray dia noana, fa ny anankiray kosa mamo.
For when you take your food, everyone takes his meal before the other; and one has not enough food, and another is the worse for drink.
22 Moa tsy manan-trano hihinanana sy hisotroana va ianareo? Sa manao tsinontsinona ny fiangonan’ Andriamanitra ka manome henatra ny tsy manana? Inona no holazaiko aminareo? Hidera anareo va aho? Tsy hidera anareo amin’ izany aho.
What? have you not houses to take your meals in? or have you no respect for the church of God, putting the poor to shame? What am I to say to you? am I to give you praise? certainly not.
23 Fa izaho efa nandray tamin’ ny Tompo izay natolotro anareo kosa, fa Jesosy Tompo tamin’ iny alina iny izay namadihana Azy, dia nandray mofo,
For it was handed down to me from the Lord, as I gave it to you, that the Lord Jesus, on the night when Judas was false to him, took bread,
24 ary rehefa nisaotra Izy, dia novakiny, ka hoy Izy: Ity no tenako ho anareo; izao no ataovy ho fahatsiarovana Ahy.
And when it had been broken with an act of praise, he said, This is my body which is for you: do this in memory of me.
25 Dia araka izany koa ny kapoaka, rehefa nihinana, dia hoy Izy: Ity kapoaka ity no ilay fanekena vaovao amin’ ny rako; izao no ataovy ho fahatsiarovana Ahy, na oviana na oviana no misotro ianareo.
In the same way, with the cup, after the meal, he said, This cup is the new testament in my blood: do this, whenever you take it, in memory of me.
26 Fa na oviana na oviana ianareo no mihinana itony mofo itony sy misotro amin’ ny kapoaka, dia manambara ny fahafatesan’ ny Tompo ianareo mandra-pihaviny.
For whenever you take the bread and the cup you give witness to the Lord's death till he comes.
27 Koa na zovy an zovy no mihinana ny mofo sy misotro amin’ ny kapoaky ny Tompo amin’ ny fanahy tsy mendrika, dia ho meloka ny amin’ ny tena sy ny ran’ ny Tompo izy.
If, then, anyone takes the bread or the cup of the Lord in the wrong spirit, he will be responsible for the body and blood of the Lord.
28 Fa aoka ny olona hamantatra ny tenany, dia aoka izy hihinana ny mofo sy hisotro amin’ ny kapoaka.
But let no man take of the bread and the cup without testing himself.
29 Fa izay rehetra mihinana sy misotro dia mihinana sy misotro fanamelohana ho an’ ny tenany, raha tsy mamantatra ny tena izy.
For a man puts himself in danger, if he takes part in the holy meal without being conscious that it is the Lord's body.
30 Noho izany dia betsaka no marary sy marofy eo aminareo, ary maro ihany no efa nodi-mandry.
For this cause a number of you are feeble and ill, and a number are dead.
31 Fa raha mba mamantatra ny tenantsika isika, dia tsy mba hotsaraina.
But if we were true judges of ourselves, punishment would not come on us.
32 Fa raha tsaraina isika, dia faizan’ ny Tompo mba tsy hohelohina miaraka amin’ izao tontolo izao.
But if punishment does come, it is sent by the Lord, so that we may be safe when the world is judged.
33 Koa raha miangona hihinana ianareo, ry rahalahy, dia mifampiandrasa.
So then, my brothers, when you come together to the holy meal of the Lord, let there be waiting for one another.
34 Ary raha misy olona noana, aoka izy hihinana no an-tranony, mba tsy hiangonanareo ho fahamelohana. Ary ny zavatra sisa dia halahatro, rehefa tonga aho.
If any man is in need of food, let him take his meal in his house; so that you may not come together to your damage. And the rest I will put in order when I come.
