1 Corinthians 11
11
1Become imitators of me as I also am an imitator of Moshiach.#11:1 see Ac 21:18-26
2Now, 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.#11:2 see Yd 1:3
3But 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),#11:3 Gn 3:16 and the rosh of Moshiach is Hashem.#11:3 Gn 3:16
4Every ben Adam davening or speaking forth a nevu'ah (prophecy) having anything hanging down over his rosh brings bushah (shame) upon his rosh.
5But 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.#11:5 Dt 21:12
6For, 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.
7For a ben Adam indeed ought not to be covered on the rosh, being the demut HASHEM#11:7 Gn 1:26 and the kavod Hashem, and the Isha being the kavod (glory), the glorious reflection of Adam.#11:7 Gn 1:26; 5:1; 9:6
8For Adam is not out of the Isha but Isha out of Adam (Man).#11:8 Gn 2:21-23
9Indeed, Adam was not created because of the Isha, but the Isha because of Adam (Man).#11:9 Gn 2:18
10Because of this, the Isha ought to have a kesut rosh (head covering) of marut (authority, discipline) on her rosh because of the malachim.
11However, neither is Isha without Adam (Man) nor Adam (Man) without Isha in Hashem.
12For just as the Isha comes out of Adam (Man),#11:12 Gn 2:21-23 so also the ben Adam (Man) comes through the Isha#11:12 Gn 3:15-16 but all things are of Hashem.#11:12 Gn 1:1; Ps 24:1; 50:12; 89:11
13You yourselves be the dayan (judge): is it fitting for an isha to offer tefillos to Hashem#11:13 in shul begile rosh (with head uncovered)?
14Does not teva (nature) itself give you the shiur (lesson) that if a ben Adam wears a long hair-do of a ladyʼs coiffure, it is a dishonor to him?
15But if an isha wears a long hairdo of a ladyʼs coiffure, it is her kavod?#11:15 Song 4:1 Because the long hair has been given to her instead of the sterntichel (kerchief) or kesut rosh (head covering).
16But if anyone presumes in his thinking to be contentious, we have no such minhag, nor do the kehillot of Hashem.#11:16 throughout the world
17But in giving the divrei Torah that follows I give no commendation,#11:17 11:2 because when you assemble as the shul of Moshiach, it is not for the better that you assemble, but for the worse.
18Ershtins (first of all), indeed when you come together as the kehillah#11:18 Ex 12:6 I hear there exist machlokot#11:18 1C 1:10 (divisions) and schisms among you, and partly I believe it.
19For 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.#11:19 Dt 13:3
20Therefore, your farbrengen gatherings in one kahal (community) are not for the purpose of having Moshiachʼs Tish.
21For each one rushes ahead with his own seudah (meal). One is hungerik (hungry), one has passed out in his schnapps.
22Hey, 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!
23For 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,
24And, 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.)
25In like manner, after eating the [Pesach] seudah, also [after the bracha over] the [Kiddush] Cup, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, This#11:25 Kiddush Kos (Cup) is the BRIT CHADASHA#11:25 Jer 31:31; 32:40 in my DAHM (blood).#11:25 Ex 24:6-8; Zech 9:11 This do, as often as you drink, in ZIKARON#11:25 Josh 4:7 (remembrance) of me.
26For as often as you eat this Pesach matzoh and drink from this Pesach Kiddush Cup, you do proclaim the mavet#11:26 Isa 53:8-9; Dan 9:26 of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu until the Bias HaMoshiach.
27Therefore, whoever eats the Pesach matzoh or drinks the Kiddush Cup of#11:27 Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu unworthily will be guilty and answerable for the basar and the dahm of#11:27 Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu.
28But 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.
29For the one eating and drinking is the one eating and drinking mishpat to himself when not discerning the basar (body).
30Because of this, many among you are weak and there are cholim (sick) and a number are sleeping the sleep of the mesim.
31But if we were judging ourselves,#11:31 in teshuva we would not be brought into mishpat (judgment).#11:31 Ps 32:5
32But, being brought into mishpat (judgment) by Hashem, we are being disciplined, that we may not be condemned#11:32 to Onesh Gehinnom with the Olam Hazeh.#11:32 Ps 115:5; 118:18; Prov 3:11,12
33Therefore, Achim b'Moshiach of mine, when you have your farbrengen gatherings and you gather for Tish, wait for one another.
34If anyone is so hungerik#11:34 1C 11:21 (hungry) [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).

1 Corinthians 11
11
1Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ.
Head Coverings
2I commend you because you remember me in everything and maintain the traditions just as I handed them on to you. 3But I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, and the husband#11.3 The same Greek word means man or husband is the head of his wife,#11.3 Or head of the woman and God is the head of Christ. 4Any man who prays or prophesies with something on his head disgraces his head, 5but any woman who prays or prophesies with her head unveiled disgraces her head—it is one and the same thing as having her head shaved. 6For if a woman will not veil herself, then she should cut off her hair; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut off or to be shaved, she should wear a veil. 7For a man ought not to have his head veiled, since he is the image and reflection#11.7 Or glory of God; but woman is the reflection#11.7 Or glory of man. 8Indeed, man was not made from woman, but woman from man. 9Neither was man created for the sake of woman, but woman for the sake of man. 10For this reason a woman ought to have a symbol of#11.10 Gk lacks a symbol of authority on her head,#11.10 Or have freedom of choice regarding her head because of the angels. 11Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of man or man independent of woman. 12For just as woman came from man, so man comes through woman; but all things come from God. 13Judge for yourselves: is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head unveiled? 14Does not nature itself teach you that if a man wears long hair, it is degrading to him, 15but if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For her hair is given to her for a covering. 16But if anyone is disposed to be contentious—we have no such custom, nor do the churches of God.
Abuses at the Lord's Supper
17Now in the following instructions I do not commend you, because when you come together it is not for the better but for the worse. 18For, to begin with, when you come together as a church, I hear that there are divisions among you; and to some extent I believe it. 19Indeed, there have to be factions among you, for only so will it become clear who among you are genuine. 20When you come together, it is not really to eat the Lord's supper. 21For when the time comes to eat, each of you goes ahead with your own supper, and one goes hungry and another becomes drunk. 22What! Do you not have homes to eat and drink in? Or do you show contempt for the church of God and humiliate those who have nothing? What should I say to you? Should I commend you? In this matter I do not commend you!
The Institution of the Lord's Supper
23For I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took a loaf of bread, 24and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body that is for#11.24 Other ancient authorities read is broken for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” 25In the same way he took the cup also, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” 26For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.
Partaking of the Supper Unworthily
27Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be answerable for the body and blood of the Lord. 28Examine yourselves, and only then eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 29For all who eat and drink#11.29 Other ancient authorities add in an unworthy manner, without discerning the body,#11.29 Other ancient authorities read the Lord's body eat and drink judgment against themselves. 30For this reason many of you are weak and ill, and some have died.#11.30 Gk fallen asleep 31But if we judged ourselves, we would not be judged. 32But when we are judged by the Lord, we are disciplined#11.32 Or When we are judged, we are being disciplined by the Lord so that we may not be condemned along with the world.
33So then, my brothers and sisters,#11.33 Gk brothers when you come together to eat, wait for one another. 34If you are hungry, eat at home, so that when you come together, it will not be for your condemnation. About the other things I will give instructions when I come.
