1Ke mou muimui kiate au, ʻo hangē foki ko ʻeku muimui ia Kalaisi.
1Be imitators of me, even as I also am of Christ.
2Pea 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.
2Now I praise you, brothers, that you remember me in all things, and hold firm the traditions, even as I delivered them to you.
3Ka 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.
3But I would have you know that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.
4Ko e tangata kotoa pē ʻoku fai lotu pe kikite, kuo pūlou hono ʻulu, ʻoku fai taʻetaau ia mo hono ʻulu.
4Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head.
5Ka 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.
5But every woman praying or prophesying with her head uncovered dishonors her head. For it is one and the same thing as if she were shaved.
6He 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.
6For if a woman is not covered, let her hair also be cut off. But if it is shameful for a woman to have her hair cut off or be shaved, let her be covered.
7He 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.
7For a man indeed ought not to have his head covered, because he is the image and glory of God, but the woman is the glory of the man.
8He ʻoku ʻikai mei he fefine ʻae tangata; ka ko e fefine mei he tangata.
8For man is not from woman, but woman from man;
9Pea naʻe ʻikai fakatupu ʻae tangata maʻae fefine; ka ko e fefine maʻae tangata.
9for man wasn’t created for the woman, but woman for the man.
10Ko ia ʻoku totonu ai ke ʻai ʻe he fefine ʻae pūlou ʻi hono ʻulu, koeʻuhi ko e kau ʻāngelo.
10For this cause the woman ought to have authority over her own head, because of the angels.
11Ka ko eni, ʻoku ʻikai ʻai ʻae tangata kae ʻi he fefine, pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻai ʻae fefine kae ʻi he tangata, ʻi he ʻEiki.
11Nevertheless, neither is the woman independent of the man, nor the man independent of the woman, in the Lord.
12Pea 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.
12For as woman came from man, so a man also comes through a woman; but all things are from God.
13Mou fifili ʻiate kimoutolu: ʻoku matamatalelei ke lotu ʻae fefine ki he ʻOtua taʻepūlou?
13Judge for yourselves. Is it appropriate that a woman pray to God unveiled?
14ʻIkai ʻoku valoki loto ʻakimoutolu, kapau ʻoku louʻulu ʻae tangata, ko e meʻa fakamā ia kiate ia?
14Doesn’t even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him?
15Pea kapau ʻoku louʻulu ʻae fefine, ko e teunga ia kiate ia; he kuo foaki kiate ia ʻae louʻulu ko e pūlou.
15But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her, for her hair is given to her for a covering.
16Pea kapau ʻoku fie fakakikihi ai ha taha, pea ʻoku ʻikai siʻi haʻatau meʻa pehē, pe ʻi he ngaahi siasi ʻoe ʻOtua.
16But if any man seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither do God’s assemblies.
17Ka 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.
17But in giving you this command I don’t praise you, because you come together not for the better but for the worse.
18He 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.
18For first of all, when you come together in the assembly, I hear that divisions exist among you, and I partly believe it.
19He kuo pau ke ai ʻae ngaahi faʻahinga ʻiate kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ke ʻilonga ai ʻakinautolu ʻiate kimoutolu ʻoku lelei.
19For there also must be factions among you, that those who are approved may be revealed among you.
20Ko ia ʻoka mou ka fakataha ʻi he potu pe taha, ʻoku ʻikai ko e kai ia ʻoe ʻohomohe ʻae ʻEiki.
20When therefore you assemble yourselves together, it is not the Lord’s supper that you eat.
21Koeʻuhi ʻoka kai, ʻoku taki taha tomuʻa toʻo mai ʻene kai ʻaʻana: pea fiekaia ʻae tokotaha, pea kona ʻae tokotaha.
21For in your eating each one takes his own supper first. One is hungry, and another is drunken.
22Ko 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.
22What, don’t you have houses to eat and to drink in? Or do you despise God’s assembly and put them to shame who don’t have enough? What shall I tell you? Shall I praise you? In this I don’t praise you.
23He 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:
23For I received from the Lord that which also I delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night in which he was betrayed took bread.
24Pea 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.”
24When he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “Take, eat. This is my body, which is broken for you. Do this in memory of me.”
25Pea 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.”
25In the same way he also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink, in memory of me.”
26He 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.
26For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.
27Pea 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.
27Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks the Lord’s cup in a way unworthy of the Lord will be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.
28Ka ʻoku lelei ke ʻahiʻahi ia ʻe he tangata, pea ke pehē pe ʻene kai ʻi he mā, mo inu ʻi he ipu.
28But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup.
29He ko ia ʻoku ne kai mo inu taʻefakaʻapaʻapa, ʻoku ne kai mo inu ʻae malaʻia kiate ia, ko ʻene taʻeʻiloʻi ʻae sino ʻoe ʻEiki.
29For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy way eats and drinks judgment to himself if he doesn’t discern the Lord’s body.
30Ko ia ʻoku vaivai ai mo mahaki ʻae tokolahi ʻiate kimoutolu, pea mohe ʻae tokolahi.
30For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep.
31He ka ne tau fakamaauʻi ʻakitautolu, pehē, ʻe ʻikai fakamaau kiate kitautolu.
31For if we discerned ourselves, we wouldn’t be judged.
32Pea ka fakamaaua ʻakitautolu, ko hotau tautea ia mei he ʻEiki, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa tau malaʻia fakataha mo māmani.
32But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.
33Ko ia, hoku kāinga, ʻoka mou ka fakataha ke kai, mou fetataliʻaki pe kiate kimoutolu.
33Therefore, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.
34Pea 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.
34But if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest your coming together be for judgment. The rest I will set in order whenever I come.
