1 Corinthians 11
1 Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ.
hE bhrAtaraH, yUyaM sarvvasmin kAryyE mAM smaratha mayA ca yAdRgupadiSTAstAdRgAcarathaitatkAraNAt mayA prazaMsanIyA AdhbE|
2 Now, I praise you, brethren, because you remember me in all things, and keep the traditions as I delivered them to you.
tathApi mamaiSA vAnjchA yad yUyamidam avagatA bhavatha,
3 But I wish you to know, that the head of every man is the Christ, and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.
Ekaikasya puruSasyOttamAggasvarUpaH khrISTaH, yOSitazcOttamAggasvarUpaH pumAn, khrISTasya cOttamAggasvarUpa IzvaraH|
4 Every man that prays or prophesies, having his head covered, dishonors his head.
aparam AcchAditOttamAggEna yEna puMsA prArthanA kriyata IzvarIyavANI kathyatE vA tEna svIyOttamAggam avajnjAyatE|
5 But every woman that prays or prophesies with her head uncovered, dishonors her head: for it is one and the same as if she was shaved.
anAcchAditOttamAggayA yayA yOSitA ca prArthanA kriyata IzvarIyavANI kathyatE vA tayApi svIyOttamAggam avajnjAyatE yataH sA muNPitaziraHsadRzA|
6 For if a woman has no vail on, let her also be shaved. But if it is a shame to a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her have a vail.
anAcchAditamastakA yA yOSit tasyAH ziraH muNPanIyamEva kintu yOSitaH kEzacchEdanaM zirOmuNPanaM vA yadi lajjAjanakaM bhavEt tarhi tayA svazira AcchAdyatAM|
7 For a man ought not to vail his head, because he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of the man.
pumAn Izvarasya pratimUrttiH pratitEjaHsvarUpazca tasmAt tEna zirO nAcchAdanIyaM kintu sImantinI puMsaH pratibimbasvarUpA|
8 For the man is not of the woman, but the woman of the man:
yatO yOSAtaH pumAn nOdapAdi kintu puMsO yOSid udapAdi|
9 for the man was not created for the woman, but the woman for the man.
adhikantu yOSitaH kRtE puMsaH sRSTi rna babhUva kintu puMsaH kRtE yOSitaH sRSTi rbabhUva|
10 For this reason ought the woman to have a token of subjection on her head, on account of the angels.
iti hEtO rdUtAnAm AdarAd yOSitA zirasyadhInatAsUcakam AvaraNaM dharttavyaM|
11 But neither is the woman without the man, nor the: man without the woman, in the Lord.
tathApi prabhO rvidhinA pumAMsaM vinA yOSinna jAyatE yOSitanjca vinA pumAn na jAyatE|
12 For as the woman is of the man, so also is the man by the woman; but all things are of God.
yatO yathA puMsO yOSid udapAdi tathA yOSitaH pumAn jAyatE, sarvvavastUni cEzvarAd utpadyantE|
13 Judge in yourselves, whether it is becoming that a woman pray to God unvailed.
yuSmAbhirEvaitad vivicyatAM, anAvRtayA yOSitA prArthanaM kiM sudRzyaM bhavEt?
14 Does not nature itself teach you, that, if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him?
puruSasya dIrghakEzatvaM tasya lajjAjanakaM, kintu yOSitO dIrghakEzatvaM tasyA gauravajanakaM
15 But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her; for her hair is given to her for a vail.
yata AcchAdanAya tasyai kEzA dattA iti kiM yuSmAbhiH svabhAvatO na zikSyatE?
16 But if any one seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor have the churches of God.
atra yadi kazcid vivaditum icchEt tarhyasmAkam IzvarIyasamitInAnjca tAdRzI rIti rna vidyatE|
17 But I praise you not in this, which I now mention, that you come together, not for the better, but for the worse.
yuSmAbhi rna bhadrAya kintu kutsitAya samAgamyatE tasmAd EtAni bhASamANEna mayA yUyaM na prazaMsanIyAH|
18 For, in the first place, when you come together in the church, I hear that there are schisms among you, and I partly believe it:
prathamataH samitau samAgatAnAM yuSmAkaM madhyE bhEdAH santIti vArttA mayA zrUyatE tanmadhyE kinjcit satyaM manyatE ca|
19 for there must be sects among you, that the approved may be made known among you.
yatO hEtO ryuSmanmadhyE yE parIkSitAstE yat prakAzyantE tadarthaM bhEdai rbhavitavyamEva|
20 When, therefore, you come together in one place, it is not to eat the Lord’s supper;
Ekatra samAgatai ryuSmAbhiH prabhAvaM bhEjyaM bhujyata iti nahi;
21 for each one, in eating, takes before another, his own supper; and one is hungry, and another is drunken.
yatO bhOjanakAlE yuSmAkamEkaikEna svakIyaM bhakSyaM tUrNaM grasyatE tasmAd EkO janO bubhukSitastiSThati, anyazca paritRptO bhavati|
22 What, have you not houses in which to eat and drink? or do you despise the church of God, and put those to shame who have nothing to eat? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? I praise you not.
bhOjanapAnArthaM yuSmAkaM kiM vEzmAni na santi? yuSmAbhi rvA kim Izvarasya samitiM tucchIkRtya dInA lOkA avajnjAyantE? ityanEna mayA kiM vaktavyaM? yUyaM kiM mayA prazaMsanIyAH? Etasmin yUyaM na prazaMsanIyAH|
23 For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: That the Lord Jesus, on the night in which he was delivered up, took bread;
prabhutO ya upadEzO mayA labdhO yuSmAsu samarpitazca sa ESaH|
24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said: Take, eat; this is my body, which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of me.
parakarasamarpaNakSapAyAM prabhu ryIzuH pUpamAdAyEzvaraM dhanyaM vyAhRtya taM bhagktvA bhASitavAn yuSmAbhirEtad gRhyatAM bhujyatAnjca tad yuSmatkRtE bhagnaM mama zarIraM; mama smaraNArthaM yuSmAbhirEtat kriyatAM|
25 In like manner also, the cup, after he had supped, saying: This cup is the new covenant in my blood: do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.
punazca bhEjanAt paraM tathaiva kaMsam AdAya tEnOktaM kaMsO'yaM mama zONitEna sthApitO nUtananiyamaH; yativAraM yuSmAbhirEtat pIyatE tativAraM mama smaraNArthaM pIyatAM|
26 For as often as you eat this bread, and drink this cup, you do show the Lord’s death till he come.
yativAraM yuSmAbhirESa pUpO bhujyatE bhAjanEnAnEna pIyatE ca tativAraM prabhOrAgamanaM yAvat tasya mRtyuH prakAzyatE|
27 Wherefore he that eats this bread, or drinks this cup of the Lord, in an improper manner, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.
aparanjca yaH kazcid ayOgyatvEna prabhOrimaM pUpam aznAti tasyAnEna bhAjanEna pivati ca sa prabhOH kAyarudhirayO rdaNPadAyI bhaviSyati|
28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of this bread, and drink of this cup:
tasmAt mAnavEnAgra AtmAna parIkSya pazcAd ESa pUpO bhujyatAM kaMsEnAnEna ca pIyatAM|
29 for he that eats and drinks in an improper manner, eats and drinks condemnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body.
yEna cAnarhatvEna bhujyatE pIyatE ca prabhOH kAyam avimRzatA tEna daNPaprAptayE bhujyatE pIyatE ca|
30 For this reason, many among you are weak and sick, and many sleep.
EtatkAraNAd yuSmAkaM bhUrizO lOkA durbbalA rOgiNazca santi bahavazca mahAnidrAM gatAH|
31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged;
asmAbhi ryadyAtmavicArO'kAriSyata tarhi daNPO nAlapsyata;
32 but being judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.
kintu yadAsmAkaM vicArO bhavati tadA vayaM jagatO janaiH samaM yad daNPaM na labhAmahE tadarthaM prabhunA zAstiM bhuMjmahE|
33 Wherefore, my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait for one another:
hE mama bhrAtaraH, bhOjanArthaM militAnAM yuSmAkam EkEnEtarO'nugRhyatAM|
34 and if any one is hungry, let him eat at home, that you come not together for condemnation. But other things I will set in order when I come.
yazca bubhukSitaH sa svagRhE bhugktAM| daNPaprAptayE yuSmAbhi rna samAgamyatAM| EtadbhinnaM yad AdESTavyaM tad yuSmatsamIpAgamanakAlE mayAdEkSyatE|
