1 hE bhrAtaraH, yUyaM sarvvasmin kAryyE mAM smaratha mayA ca yAdRgupadiSTAstAdRgAcarathaitatkAraNAt mayA prazaMsanIyA AdhbE|

Become imitators of me, even as I also am of Christ.

2 tathApi mamaiSA vAnjchA yad yUyamidam avagatA bhavatha,

Now I praise you, brethren; because, in all things you remember me, and hold fast the traditions as I delivered them to you.

3 Ekaikasya puruSasyOttamAggasvarUpaH khrISTaH, yOSitazcOttamAggasvarUpaH pumAn, khrISTasya cOttamAggasvarUpa IzvaraH|

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 aparam AcchAditOttamAggEna yEna puMsA prArthanA kriyata IzvarIyavANI kathyatE vA tEna svIyOttamAggam avajnjAyatE|

Every man who prays, or prophesies, having his head covered, dishonors his head.

5 anAcchAditOttamAggayA yayA yOSitA ca prArthanA kriyata IzvarIyavANI kathyatE vA tayApi svIyOttamAggam avajnjAyatE yataH sA muNPitaziraHsadRzA|

And every woman who prays, or prophesies, with her head uncovered, dishonors her head. Besides, it is one and the same, with being shaved.

6 anAcchAditamastakA yA yOSit tasyAH ziraH muNPanIyamEva kintu yOSitaH kEzacchEdanaM zirOmuNPanaM vA yadi lajjAjanakaM bhavEt tarhi tayA svazira AcchAdyatAM|

Wherefore, if a woman be not vailed, even let her be shorn: but, if it be shame for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be vailed.

7 pumAn Izvarasya pratimUrttiH pratitEjaHsvarUpazca tasmAt tEna zirO nAcchAdanIyaM kintu sImantinI puMsaH pratibimbasvarUpA|

Now, man, indeed, ought not to cover the head, being the image and glory of God, but woman is the glory of man.

8 yatO yOSAtaH pumAn nOdapAdi kintu puMsO yOSid udapAdi|

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

9 adhikantu yOSitaH kRtE puMsaH sRSTi rna babhUva kintu puMsaH kRtE yOSitaH sRSTi rbabhUva|

And, also, the man was not created for the woman, but the woman for the man.

10 iti hEtO rdUtAnAm AdarAd yOSitA zirasyadhInatAsUcakam AvaraNaM dharttavyaM|

For this reason, ought the woman to have a vail on her head, on account of the messengers.

11 tathApi prabhO rvidhinA pumAMsaM vinA yOSinna jAyatE yOSitanjca vinA pumAn na jAyatE|

However, neither is the man, without the woman, nor the woman without the man, in the Lord.

12 yatO yathA puMsO yOSid udapAdi tathA yOSitaH pumAn jAyatE, sarvvavastUni cEzvarAd utpadyantE|

Besides, as the woman is from the man, so also, the man is by the woman; but all from God.

13 yuSmAbhirEvaitad vivicyatAM, anAvRtayA yOSitA prArthanaM kiM sudRzyaM bhavEt?

Judge in yourselves, is it decent that a woman pray to God unvailed?

14 puruSasya dIrghakEzatvaM tasya lajjAjanakaM, kintu yOSitO dIrghakEzatvaM tasyA gauravajanakaM

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

15 yata AcchAdanAya tasyai kEzA dattA iti kiM yuSmAbhiH svabhAvatO na zikSyatE?

But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given to her for a vail.

16 atra yadi kazcid vivaditum icchEt tarhyasmAkam IzvarIyasamitInAnjca tAdRzI rIti rna vidyatE|

However, if any one resolve to be contentious, we have no such custom; neither the congregations of God.

17 yuSmAbhi rna bhadrAya kintu kutsitAya samAgamyatE tasmAd EtAni bhASamANEna mayA yUyaM na prazaMsanIyAH|

Now, in declaring this, that you come together, not for the better, but for the worse, I do not praise you.

18 prathamataH samitau samAgatAnAM yuSmAkaM madhyE bhEdAH santIti vArttA mayA zrUyatE tanmadhyE kinjcit satyaM manyatE ca|

For, first, indeed, I hear, that when you come together in the congregation, there are schisms among you; and I partly believe it.

19 yatO hEtO ryuSmanmadhyE yE parIkSitAstE yat prakAzyantE tadarthaM bhEdai rbhavitavyamEva|

For there must even be sects among you, that the approved among you may be made manifest.

20 Ekatra samAgatai ryuSmAbhiH prabhAvaM bhEjyaM bhujyata iti nahi;

But your coming together into one place, is not to eat the Lord's supper.

21 yatO bhOjanakAlE yuSmAkamEkaikEna svakIyaM bhakSyaM tUrNaM grasyatE tasmAd EkO janO bubhukSitastiSThati, anyazca paritRptO bhavati|

For, in eating it, every one takes first his own supper; and one, indeed, is hungry, and another is filled.

22 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|

What! have you not houses, to eat and to drink in? or, do you despise the congregation of God and put to shame those who have not? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? In this, I praise you not.

23 prabhutO ya upadEzO mayA labdhO yuSmAsu samarpitazca sa ESaH|

For I received from the Lord what, also, I delivered to you; that the Lord Jesus, in the night in which we was betrayed, took a loaf;

24 parakarasamarpaNakSapAyAM prabhu ryIzuH pUpamAdAyEzvaraM dhanyaM vyAhRtya taM bhagktvA bhASitavAn yuSmAbhirEtad gRhyatAM bhujyatAnjca tad yuSmatkRtE bhagnaM mama zarIraM; mama smaraNArthaM yuSmAbhirEtat kriyatAM|

and, having given thanks, he broke it; and said, Take, eat; this is my body, which is broken for you: do this in remembrance of me.

25 punazca bhEjanAt paraM tathaiva kaMsam AdAya tEnOktaM kaMsO'yaM mama zONitEna sthApitO nUtananiyamaH; yativAraM yuSmAbhirEtat pIyatE tativAraM mama smaraNArthaM pIyatAM|

In like manner, also, the cup, after he had supped; saying, This cup is the new institution in my blood: do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.

26 yativAraM yuSmAbhirESa pUpO bhujyatE bhAjanEnAnEna pIyatE ca tativAraM prabhOrAgamanaM yAvat tasya mRtyuH prakAzyatE|

For as often as you eat this loaf, and drink this cup, you openly publish the death of the Lord, until he come.

27 aparanjca yaH kazcid ayOgyatvEna prabhOrimaM pUpam aznAti tasyAnEna bhAjanEna pivati ca sa prabhOH kAyarudhirayO rdaNPadAyI bhaviSyati|

So, then, whosoever shall eat this loaf, and drink this cup of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.

28 tasmAt mAnavEnAgra AtmAna parIkSya pazcAd ESa pUpO bhujyatAM kaMsEnAnEna ca pIyatAM|

But let a man examine himself, and then let him eat of the loaf, and drink of the cup.

29 yEna cAnarhatvEna bhujyatE pIyatE ca prabhOH kAyam avimRzatA tEna daNPaprAptayE bhujyatE pIyatE ca|

For he who eats and drinks unworthily, eats and drinks judgment to himself, not distinguishing the body of the Lord.

30 EtatkAraNAd yuSmAkaM bhUrizO lOkA durbbalA rOgiNazca santi bahavazca mahAnidrAM gatAH|

For this cause, many among you are weak and sick, and a considerable number are fallen asleep.

31 asmAbhi ryadyAtmavicArO'kAriSyata tarhi daNPO nAlapsyata;

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

32 kintu yadAsmAkaM vicArO bhavati tadA vayaM jagatO janaiH samaM yad daNPaM na labhAmahE tadarthaM prabhunA zAstiM bhuMjmahE|

Yet, when we are judged by the Lord, we are corrected, that we may not be condemned with the world.

33 hE mama bhrAtaraH, bhOjanArthaM militAnAM yuSmAkam EkEnEtarO'nugRhyatAM|

Wherefore, my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait for each other.

34 yazca bubhukSitaH sa svagRhE bhugktAM| daNPaprAptayE yuSmAbhi rna samAgamyatAM| EtadbhinnaM yad AdESTavyaM tad yuSmatsamIpAgamanakAlE mayAdEkSyatE|

And if any one hunger, let him eat at home, that you may not come together for judgment. And the other things I will set in order when I come.
