1 Kia rite ta koutou ki taku, me taku ka rite nei ki ta te Karaiti.

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.

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.

4 Ko te tangata e inoi ana, e poropiti ana, me te hipoki ano te upoko, e whakaiti ana ia i tona upoko.

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.

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.

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.

8 Ehara hoki i te mea no te wahine te tane, engari no te tane te wahine;

9 Kihai ano te tane i hanga ma te wahine, engari ko te wahine ma te tane.

10 Koia i tika ai hei runga i te o te wahine te tohu o te mana, he mea mo nga anahera.

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.

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.

13 Ma koutou tonu e whakaaro: he mea pai ranei kia inoi hipokikore te wahine ki te Atua?

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?

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.

16 Otira ki te mea he ahua totohe tetahi, kahore o matou ritenga pera, kahore hoki o nga hahi a te Atua.

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.

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.

19 Kua takoto hoki kia whai titorehanga koutou, kia kitea ai te hunga e paingia ana i roto i a koutou.

20 Na, ka huihui koutou ki te wahi kotahi, e kore e taea kia kai i te hapa a te Ariki:

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.

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.

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:

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.

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.

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.

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.

28 Engari kia uiui te tangata ki a ia ano, ka kai ai i taua taro, ka inu ai i taua kapu.

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.

30 No konei hoki he tokomaha i roto i a koutou e ngoikore ana, e mate ana, he tokomaha ano kua moe.

31 Me i whakawa hoki tatou i a tatou ano, kihai i whakataua te he ki a tatou.

32 Ki te whakawakia ia tatou, he mea whakaako tatou na te Ariki, kei tukua ngatahitia tatou me te ao ki te he.

33 Heoi, e oku teina, ka huihui koutou ki te kai, me tatari tetahi ki tetahi.

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.

1 Followers of me become ye, as I also [am] of Christ.

2 And I praise you, brethren, that in all things ye remember me, and according as I did deliver to you, the deliverances ye keep,

3 and I wish you to know that of every man the head is the Christ, and the head of a woman is the husband, and the head of Christ is God.

4 Every man praying or prophesying, having the head covered, doth dishonour his head,

5 and every woman praying or prophesying with the head uncovered, doth dishonour her own head, for it is one and the same thing with her being shaven,

6 for if a woman is not covered -- then let her be shorn, and if [it is] a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven -- let her be covered;

7 for a man, indeed, ought not to cover the head, being the image and glory of God, and a woman is the glory of a man,

8 for a man is not of a woman, but a woman [is] of a man,

9 for a man also was not created because of the woman, but a woman because of the man;

10 because of this the woman ought to have [a token of] authority upon the head, because of the messengers;

11 but neither [is] a man apart from a woman, nor a woman apart from a man, in the Lord,

12 for as the woman [is] of the man, so also the man [is] through the woman, and the all things [are] of God.

13 In your own selves judge ye; is it seemly for a woman uncovered to pray to God?

14 doth not even nature itself teach you, that if a man indeed have long hair, a dishonour it is to him?

15 and a woman, if she have long hair, a glory it is to her, because the hair instead of a covering hath been given to her;

16 and if any one doth think to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the assemblies of God.

17 And this declaring, I give no praise, because not for the better, but for the worse ye come together;

18 for first, indeed, ye coming together in an assembly, I hear of divisions being among you, and partly I believe [it],

19 for it behoveth sects also to be among you, that those approved may become manifest among you;

20 ye, then, coming together at the same place -- it is not to eat the Lord`s supper;

21 for each his own supper doth take before in the eating, and one is hungry, and another is drunk;

22 why, have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or the assembly of God do ye despise, and shame those not having? what may I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I do not praise!

23 For I -- I received from the Lord that which also I did deliver to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which he was delivered up, took bread,

24 and having given thanks, he brake, and said, `Take ye, eat ye, this is my body, that for you is being broken; this do ye -- to the remembrance of me.`

25 In like manner also the cup after the supping, saying, `This cup is the new covenant in my blood; this do ye, as often as ye may drink [it] -- to the remembrance of me;`

26 for as often as ye may eat this bread, and this cup may drink, the death of the Lord ye do shew forth -- till he may come;

27 so that whoever may eat this bread or may drink the cup of the Lord unworthily, guilty he shall be of the body and blood of the Lord:

28 and let a man be proving himself, and so of the bread let him eat, and of the cup let him drink;

29 for he who is eating and drinking unworthily, judgment to himself he doth eat and drink -- not discerning the body of the Lord.

30 Because of this, among you many [are] weak and sickly, and sleep do many;

31 for if ourselves we were discerning, we would not be being judged,

32 and being judged by the Lord, we are chastened, that with the world we may not be condemned;

33 so then, my brethren, coming together to eat, for one another wait ye;

34 and if any one is hungry, at home let him eat, that to judgment ye may not come together; and the rest, whenever I may come, I shall arrange.
