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

Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.

2 N a, 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 praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.

3 N a 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.

But I would have you know, 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 K o te tangata e inoi ana, e poropiti ana, me te hipoki ano te upoko, e whakaiti ana ia i tona upoko.

Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head.

5 K o 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 every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.

6 K i 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.

For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.

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 indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.

8 E hara hoki i te mea no te wahine te tane, engari no te tane te wahine;

For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man.

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

Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.

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

For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.

11 A hakoa 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.

Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.

12 N o roto hoki i te tane te wahine, waihoki i na te wahine mai te tane: na te Atua ano ia nga mea katoa.

For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God.

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

Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?

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?

Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?

15 T ena 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 if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.

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

But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither 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.

Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse.

18 N a 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 first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it.

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

For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.

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

When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord’s supper.

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 in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken.

22 H e 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.

What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not.

23 K ua 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 I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took 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 when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.

25 M e 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.

After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance 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 as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come.

27 M o 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.

Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.

28 E ngari 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 so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.

29 N o 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 he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body.

30 N o konei hoki he tokomaha i roto i a koutou e ngoikore ana, e mate ana, he tokomaha ano kua moe.

For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.

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

For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.

32 K i 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, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.

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

Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another.

34 K i 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.

And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.
