1 Koriniti 11
1 Kia rite ta koutou ki taku, me taku ka rite nei ki ta te Karaiti.
Be imitators of me, in so far as I in turn am an imitator of Christ.
2 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.
Now I commend you for remembering me in everything, and because you hold fast truths and practices precisely as I have taught them to you.
3 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.
I would have you know, however, that of every man, Christ is the Head, that of a woman her husband is the Head, and that God is Christ's Head.
4 Ko te tangata e inoi ana, e poropiti ana, me te hipoki ano te upoko, e whakaiti ana ia i tona upoko.
A man who wears a veil when praying or prophesying dishonors his Head;
5 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.
but a woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her Head, for it is exactly the same as if she had her hair cut short.
6 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.
If a woman will not wear a veil, let her also cut off her hair. But since it is a dishonor to a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, let her wear a veil.
7 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.
For a man ought not to have a veil on his head, since he is the image and glory of God; while woman is the glory of man.
8 Ehara hoki i te mea no te wahine te tane, engari no te tane te wahine;
Man does not take his origin from woman, but woman takes hers from man.
9 Kihai ano te tane i hanga ma te wahine, engari ko te wahine ma te tane.
For man was not created for woman's sake, but woman for man's.
10 Koia i tika ai hei runga i te o te wahine te tohu o te mana, he mea mo nga anahera.
That is why a woman ought to have on her head a symbol of subjection, because of the angels.
11 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.
Yet, in the Lord, woman is not independent of man nor man independent of woman.
12 No roto hoki i te tane te wahine, waihoki i na te wahine mai te tane: na te Atua ano ia nga mea katoa.
For just as woman originates from man, so also man comes into existence through woman, but everything springs originally from God.
13 Ma koutou tonu e whakaaro: he mea pai ranei kia inoi hipokikore te wahine ki te Atua?
Judge of this for your own selves: is it seemly for a woman to pray to God when she is unveiled?
14 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?
Does not Nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair it is a dishonor to him,
15 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.
but that if a woman has long hair it is her glory, because her hair was given her for a covering?
16 Otira ki te mea he ahua totohe tetahi, kahore o matou ritenga pera, kahore hoki o nga hahi a te Atua.
But if any one is inclined to be contentious on the point, we have no such custom, nor have the Churches of God.
17 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.
But while giving you these instructions, there is one thing I cannot praise--your meeting together, with bad rather than good results.
18 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.
for, in the first place, when you meet as a Church, there are divisions among you. This is what I am told, and I believe that there is some truth in it.
19 Kua takoto hoki kia whai titorehanga koutou, kia kitea ai te hunga e paingia ana i roto i a koutou.
For there must of necessity be differences of opinion among you, in order that it may be plainly seen who are the men of sterling worth among you.
20 Na, ka huihui koutou ki te wahi kotahi, e kore e taea kia kai i te hapa a te Ariki:
When, however, you meet in one place, there is no eating the Supper of the Lord;
21 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.
for it is his own supper of which each of you is in a hurry to partake, and one eats like a hungry man, while another has already drunk to excess.
22 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.
Why, have you no homes in which to eat and drink? Or do you wish to show your contempt for the Church of God and make those who have no homes feel ashamed? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? In this matter I certainly do not praise you.
23 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:
For it was from the Lord that I received the facts which, in turn, I handed on to you; how that the Lord Jesus, on the night He was to be betrayed, took some bread,
24 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.
and after giving thanks He broke it and said, "This is my body which is about to be broken for you. Do this in memory of me."
25 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.
In the same way, when the meal was over, He also took the cup. "This cup," He said, "is the new Covenant of which my blood is the pledge. Do this, every time that you drink it, in memory of me."
26 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.
For every time that you eat this bread and drink from the cup, you are proclaiming the Lord's death--until He returns.
27 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.
Whoever, therefore, in an unworthy manner, eats the bread or drinks from the cup of the Lord sins against the body and blood of the Lord.
28 Engari kia uiui te tangata ki a ia ano, ka kai ai i taua taro, ka inu ai i taua kapu.
But let a man examine himself, and, having done that, then let him eat the bread and drink from the cup.
29 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.
For any one who eats and drinks, eats and drinks judgement to himself, if he fails to estimate the body aright.
30 No konei hoki he tokomaha i roto i a koutou e ngoikore ana, e mate ana, he tokomaha ano kua moe.
That is why many among you are sickly and out of health, and why not a few die.
31 Me i whakawa hoki tatou i a tatou ano, kihai i whakataua te he ki a tatou.
If, however, we estimated ourselves aright, we should not be judged.
32 Ki te whakawakia ia tatou, he mea whakaako tatou na te Ariki, kei tukua ngatahitia tatou me te ao ki te he.
But when we are judged by the Lord, chastisement follows, to save us from being condemned along with the world.
33 Heoi, e oku teina, ka huihui koutou ki te kai, me tatari tetahi ki tetahi.
Therefore, brethren, when you come together for this meal, wait for one another.
34 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.
If any one is hungry, let him eat at home; so that your coming together may not lead to judgement. The other matters I will deal with whenever I come.
