1 So take me for your example, even as I take Christ for mine.
1
1 Become imitators of me as I also am an imitator of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.
2 Now I am pleased to see that you keep me in memory in all things, and that you give attention to the teaching which was handed down from me to you.
2
Now, I commend you that in all things you have remembered me and you hold fast to the masoret torat haShlichim just as I transmitted and handed them over to you.
3 But it is important for you to keep this fact in mind, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man, and the head of Christ is God.
3
But I want you to have da’as that Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach is the rosh (head) of every one of the Bnei Adam, and the rosh of an isha is the ben Adam (Man, Ba’al) [BERESHIS 3:16], and the rosh of Moshiach is Hashem. [BERESHIS 3:16]
4 Every man who takes part in prayer, or gives teaching as a prophet, with his head covered, puts shame on his head.
4
Every ben Adam davening or speaking forth a nevu’ah (prophecy) having anything hanging down over his rosh brings bushah (shame) upon his rosh.
5 But every woman who does so with her head unveiled, puts shame on her head: for it is the same as if her hair was cut off.
5
But every isha davening or speaking forth a nevu’ah (prophecy) in shul, begile rosh (with head uncovered), brings bushah (shame) upon her rosh, for it is one and the same thing to uncover the rosh as it is for the rosh of the isha having been shaved. [DEVARIM 21:12]
6 For if a woman is not veiled, let her hair be cut off; but if it is a shame to a woman to have her hair cut off, let her be veiled.
6
For, if an isha is not covered, also let her be shorn. But als (since) it is in fact a thing of bushah (shame) for an isha to be shorn or to be shaved, let her be covered.
7 For it is not right for a man to have his head covered, because he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.
7
For a ben Adam indeed ought not to be covered on the rosh, being the demut HASHEM (BERESHIS 1:26) and the kavod Hashem, and the Isha being the kavod (glory), the glorious reflection of Adam. [BERESHIS 1:26; 5:1; 9:6]
8 For the man did not come from the woman, but the woman from the man.
8
For Adam is not out of the Isha but Isha out of Adam (Man) [BERESHIS 2:21-23].
9 And the man was not made for the woman, but the woman for the man.
9
Indeed, Adam was not created because of the Isha, but the Isha because of Adam (Man) [BERESHIS 2:18].
10 For this reason it is right for the woman to have a sign of authority on her head, because of the angels.
10
Because of this, the Isha ought to have a kesut rosh (head covering) of marut (authority, discipline) on her rosh because of the malachim.
11 But the woman is not separate from the man, and the man is not separate from the woman in the Lord.
11
However, neither is Isha without Adam (Man) nor Adam (Man) without Isha in Hashem.
12 For as the woman is from the man, so the man is through the woman; but all things are from God.
12
For just as the Isha comes out of Adam (Man) [BERESHIS 2:21-23], so also the ben Adam (Man) comes through the Isha [Gn 3:15-16] but all things are of Hashem [BERESHIS 1:1; TEHILLIM 24:1; 50:12; 89:11].
13 Be judges yourselves of the question: does it seem right for a woman to take part in prayer unveiled?
13
You yourselves be the dayan (judge): is it fitting for an isha to offer tefillos to Hashem [in shul] begile rosh (with head uncovered)?
14 Does it not seem natural to you that if a man has long hair, it is a cause of shame to him?
14
Does not teva (nature) itself give you the shiur (lesson) that if a ben Adam wears a long hair-do of a lady’s coiffure, it is a dishonor to him?
15 But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given to her for a covering.
15
But if an isha wears a long hairdo of a lady’s coiffure, it is her kavod (SHIR HASHIRIM 4:1)? Because the long hair has been given to her instead of the sterntichel (kerchief) or kesut rosh (head covering).
16 But if any man will not be ruled in this question, this is not our way of doing things, and it is not done in the churches of God.
16
But if anyone presumes in his thinking to be contentious, we have no such minhag, nor do the kehillot of Hashem [throughout the world].
17 But in giving you this order, there is one thing about which I am not pleased: it is that when you come together it is not for the better but for the worse.
17
But in giving the divrei Torah that follows I give no commendation [11:2], because when you assemble as the shul of Moshiach, it is not for the better that you assemble, but for the worse.
18 For first of all, it has come to my ears that when you come together in the church, there are divisions among you, and I take the statement to be true in part.
18
Ershtins (first of all), indeed when you come together as the kehillah [SHEMOT 12:6] (I hear) there exist machlokot (divisions 1:10) and schisms among you, and partly I believe it.
19 For divisions are necessary among you, in order that those who have God's approval may be clearly seen among you.
19
For it is necessary also for kitot (sects) of minut (heresy), of kefirah (heresy, denial) to be among you that also the approved ones may become manifest among you [DEVARIM 13:3].
20 But now, when you come together, it is not possible to take the holy meal of the Lord:
20
Therefore, your farbrengen gatherings in one kahal (community) are not for the purpose of having Moshiach’s Tish.
21 For when you take your food, everyone takes his meal before the other; and one has not enough food, and another is the worse for drink.
21
For each one rushes ahead with his own seudah (meal). One is hungerik (hungry), one has passed out in his schnapps.
22 What? have you not houses to take your meals in? or have you no respect for the church of God, putting the poor to shame? What am I to say to you? am I to give you praise? certainly not.
22
Hey, you people, do you not have houses in which to eat and to drink? Or do you despise the Kehillah (congregation) of G-d? And do you bring bushah (shame), even humiliation, on the ones having nothing? What should I say to you? Will I commend you? In this I do not commend you people!
23 For it was handed down to me from the Lord, as I gave it to you, that the Lord Jesus, on the night when Judas was false to him, took bread,
23
For I received from Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu that which also I transmitted and handed on to you, that Adoneinu Yehoshua, on the very lailah (night) in which he was betrayed, took the Pesach matzoh,
24 And when it had been broken with an act of praise, he said, This is my body which is for you: do this in memory of me.
24
And, having made the HaMotzi, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach offered the betzi’at halechem (breaking of the bread) and said, "ZEH HU VESARI HANNIVTZA BA’ADCHEM; ZOT ASU L’ZIKRONI. ("This is my flesh, which is broken on your behalf. Do this in memory of me.")
25 In the same way, with the cup, after the meal, he said, This cup is the new testament in my blood: do this, whenever you take it, in memory of me.
25
In like manner, after eating the [Pesach] seudah, also [after the bracha over] the [Kiddush] Cup, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, "This [Kiddush] Kos (Cup) is the BRIT CHADASHA [YIRMEYAH 31:31; 32:40] in my DAHM (blood SHEMOT 24:6-8; ZECHARYAH 9:11). This do, as often as you drink, in ZIKARON (remembrance YEHOSHUA 4:7) of me."
26 For whenever you take the bread and the cup you give witness to the Lord's death till he comes.
26
For as often as you eat this Pesach matzoh and drink from this Pesach Kiddush Cup, you do proclaim the mavet [YESHAYAH 53:8 9; DANIEL 9:26] of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu until the Bias HaMoshiach.
27 If, then, anyone takes the bread or the cup of the Lord in the wrong spirit, he will be responsible for the body and blood of the Lord.
27
Therefore, whoever eats the Pesach matzoh or drinks the Kiddush Cup of [Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach] Adoneinu unworthily will be guilty and answerable for the basar and the dahm of [Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach] Adoneinu.
28 But let no man take of the bread and the cup without testing himself.
28
But let a ben Adam apply cheshbon hanefesh to himself and in that manner let him eat of the Pesach matzoh and let him drink of the Pesach Kiddush Cup.
29 For a man puts himself in danger, if he takes part in the holy meal without being conscious that it is the Lord's body.
29
For the one eating and drinking is the one eating and drinking mishpat to himself when not discerning the basar (body).
30 For this cause a number of you are feeble and ill, and a number are dead.
30
Because of this, many among you are weak and there are cholim (sick) and a number are sleeping the sleep of the mesim.
31 But if we were true judges of ourselves, punishment would not come on us.
31
But if we were judging ourselves [in teshuva], we would not be brought into mishpat (judgment). [TEHILLIM 32:5]
32 But if punishment does come, it is sent by the Lord, so that we may be safe when the world is judged.
32
But, being brought into mishpat (judgment) by Hashem, we are being disciplined, that we may not be condemned [to Onesh Gehinnom] with the Olam Hazeh. [TEHILLIM 115:5; 118:18; MISHLE 3:11,12]
33 So then, my brothers, when you come together to the holy meal of the Lord, let there be waiting for one another.
33
Therefore, Achim b’Moshiach of mine, when you have your farbrengen gatherings and you gather for Tish, wait for one another.
34 If any man is in need of food, let him take his meal in his house; so that you may not come together to your damage. And the rest I will put in order when I come.
34
If anyone is so hungerik (hungry 11:21) [that he cannot wait], in his home let him eat, lest for mishpat you have kehillah. And as far as the hemshech (remaining part) is concerned, whenever I come I will set b’seder (in order).
