11:1
Μιμηταί μου γίνεσθε, καθὼς κἀγὼ Χριστοῦ.
Imitatores mei estote, sicut et ego Christi.
ተመሰሉ ኪያየ በከመ አነ እትሜሰሎ ለክርስቶስ።
Be imitators of me, even as I also am of Christ.
11:2
Ἐπαινῶ δὲ ὑμᾶς, ὅτι πάντα μου μέμνησθε καὶ καθὼς παρέδωκα ὑμῖν τὰς παραδόσεις κατέχετε.
Laudo autem vos fratres quod per omnia mei memores estis : et sicut tradidi vobis, praecepta mea tenetis.
ወአአኵተክሙ አኀውየ እስመ ዘልፈ ትዜከሩኒ ወዘከመ መሀርኩክሙ ትትሐረሙ ከማሁ ተዐቀቡ።
Now I praise you, brothers, that you remember me in all things, and hold firm the traditions, even as I delivered them to you.
11:3
θέλω δὲ ὑμᾶς εἰδέναι ὅτι παντὸς ἀνδρὸς ἡ κεφαλὴ ὁ Χριστός ἐστιν, κεφαλὴ δὲ γυναικὸς ὁ ἀνήρ, κεφαλὴ δὲ τοῦ Χριστοῦ ὁ θεός.
Volo autem vos scire quod omnis viri caput, Christus est : caput autem mulieris, vir : caput vero Christi, Deus.
ወእፈቅድ ባሕቱ ታእምሩ ከመ ክርስቶስ ርእሱ ለኵሉ ብእሲ ወርእሳ ለብእሲት ምታ ወርእሱ ለክርስቶስ እግዚአብሔር።
But I would have you know that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.
11:4
πᾶς ἀνὴρ προσευχόμενος ἢ προφητεύων κατὰ κεφαλῆς ἔχων καταισχύνει τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ·
Omnis vir orans, aut prophetans velato capite, deturpat caput suum.
ወኵሉ ብእሲ ዘግልቡብ ርእሱ ይጼሊ አው ይትኔበይ ያኀሥር ርእሶ።
Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head.
11:5
πᾶσα δὲ γυνὴ προσευχομένη ἢ προφητεύουσα ἀκατακαλύπτῳ τῇ κεφαλῇ καταισχύνει τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτῆς· ἓν γάρ ἐστιν καὶ τὸ αὐτὸ τῇ ἐξυρημένῃ.
Omnis autem mulier orans, aut prophetans non velato capite, deturpat caput suum : unum enim est ac si decalvetur.
ወኵላ ብእሲት እንዘ ክሡት ርእሳ ትጼሊ አው ትትኔበይ ታኀሥር ርእሳ እስመ ከመ ሉፂት ይእቲ።
But every woman praying or prophesying with her head uncovered dishonors her head. For it is one and the same thing as if she were shaved.
11:6
εἰ γὰρ οὐ κατακαλύπτεται γυνή, καὶ κειράσθω· εἰ δὲ αἰσχρὸν γυναικὶ τὸ κείρασθαι ἢ ξυρᾶσθαι, κατακαλυπτέσθω.
Nam si non velatur mulier, tondeatur. Si vero turpe est mulieri tonderi, aut decalvari, velet caput suum.
ወእመሰ ኢትትገለበብ ብእሲት ለትትላፀይ ወእመ አኮ ለትትቀረፅ ወእመሰ ኀሣር ውእቱ ለብእሲት ተላፅዮሂ ወተቀርፆሂ ለትትገልበብ።
For if a woman is not covered, let her hair also be cut off. But if it is shameful for a woman to have her hair cut off or be shaved, let her be covered.
11:7
ἀνὴρ μὲν γὰρ οὐκ ὀφείλει κατακαλύπτεσθαι τὴν κεφαλήν, εἰκὼν καὶ δόξα θεοῦ ὑπάρχων· ἡ γυνὴ δὲ δόξα ἀνδρός ἐστιν.
Vir quidem non debet velare caput suum : quoniam imago et gloria Dei est, mulier autem gloria viri est.
ወብእሲኒ ኢኮነ ርቱዐ ይትገልበብ ሶበ ይጼሊ እስመ አምሳሉ ወአርአያሁ ለእግዚአብሔር ውእቱ ወብእሲትኒ ክብሩ ለምታ ይእቲ።
For a man indeed ought not to have his head covered, because he is the image and glory of God, but the woman is the glory of the man.
11:8
οὐ γάρ ἐστιν ἀνὴρ ἐκ γυναικός, ἀλλὰ γυνὴ ἐξ ἀνδρός·
Non enim vir ex muliere est, sed mulier ex viro.
እስመ ብእሲት እምብእሲ ወፅአት ወአኮ ብእሲ ዘወፅአ እምብእሲት።
For man is not from woman, but woman from man;
11:9
καὶ γὰρ οὐκ ἐκτίσθη ἀνὴρ διὰ τὴν γυναῖκα, ἀλλὰ γυνὴ διὰ τὸν ἄνδρα.
Etenim non est creatus vir propter mulierem, sed mulier propter virum.
ወብእሲሰ ኢተፈጥረ በእንተ ብእሲት አላ ብእሲት በእንተ ብእሲ።
for man wasn’t created for the woman, but woman for the man.
11:10
διὰ τοῦτο ὀφείλει ἡ γυνὴ ἐξουσίαν ἔχειν ἐπὶ τῆς κεφαλῆς διὰ τοὺς ἀγγέλους.
Ideo debet mulier potestatem habere supra caput propter angelos.
ወበእንተዝ ርቱዕ ይኩን ሥልጣን ላዕለ ርእስ በእንተ መላእክት።
For this cause the woman ought to have authority over her own head, because of the angels.
11:11
πλὴν οὔτε γυνὴ χωρὶς ἀνδρὸς οὔτε ἀνὴρ χωρὶς γυναικὸς ἐν κυρίῳ·
Verumtamen neque vir sine muliere : neque mulier sine viro in Domino.
ወባሕቱ ይእዜኒ ኢትትፈለጥ ብእሲት እምታ ወብእሲኒ ኢይኅድግ ብእሲቶ ወኵልክሙ ሀልዉ በእግዚእነ።
Nevertheless, neither is the woman independent of the man, nor the man independent of the woman, in the Lord.
11:12
ὥσπερ γὰρ ἡ γυνὴ ἐκ τοῦ ἀνδρός, οὕτως καὶ ὁ ἀνὴρ διὰ τῆς γυναικός· τὰ δὲ πάντα ἐκ τοῦ θεοῦ.
Nam sicut mulier de viro, ita et vir per mulierem : omnia autem ex Deo.
በከመ ብእሲት እምብእሲ ከማሁ ብእሲኒ እምብእሲት ወባሕቱ ኵሉ እምኀበ እግዚአብሔር።
For as woman came from man, so a man also comes through a woman; but all things are from God.
11:13
ἐν ὑμῖν αὐτοῖς κρίνατε· πρέπον ἐστὶν γυναῖκα ἀκατακάλυπτον τῷ θεῷ προσεύχεσθαι;
Vos ipsi judicate : decet mulierem non velatam orare Deum ?
ኀልይዎ እስኩ ለሊክሙ ኢይረትዕኑ ትትገልበብ ብእሲት ሶበ ትጼሊ ኀበ እግዚአብሔር ወፍጥረታሂ ኢያዐውቀክሙኑ።
Judge for yourselves. Is it appropriate that a woman pray to God unveiled?
11:14
οὐδὲ ἡ φύσις αὐτὴ διδάσκει ὑμᾶς ὅτι ἀνὴρ μὲν ἐὰν κομᾷ ἀτιμία αὐτῷ ἐστιν,
Nec ipsa natura docet vos, quod vir quidem si comam nutriat, ignominia est illi :
እስመ ለብእሲኒ ኀሣር ውእቱ ለእመ አንኀ ድምድማሁ።
Doesn’t even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him?
11:15
γυνὴ δὲ ἐὰν κομᾷ δόξα αὐτῇ ἐστιν; ὅτι ἡ κόμη ἀντὶ περιβολαίου δέδοται αὐτῇ.
mulier vero si comam nutriat, gloria est illi : quoniam capilli pro velamine ei dati sunt.
ወለብእሲትኒ ክብራ ውእቱ ለእመ አንኀት ሥዕርተ ርእሳ እስመ ሥዕርታ ለብእሲት ከመ ሞጣሕት ተውህበ ላቲ ወዘይትሔዘብ ለይለቡ።
But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her, for her hair is given to her for a covering.
11:16
Εἰ δέ τις δοκεῖ φιλόνεικος εἶναι, ἡμεῖς τοιαύτην συνήθειαν οὐκ ἔχομεν, οὐδὲ αἱ ἐκκλησίαι τοῦ θεοῦ.
Si quis autem videtur contentiosus esse : nos talem consuetudinem non habemus, neque ecclesia Dei.
ንሕነሰ ኢንለምድ ከመዝ ወኢቤተ ክርስቲያኑ ለእግዚአብሔር።
But if any man seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither do God’s assemblies.
11:17
Τοῦτο δὲ παραγγέλλων οὐκ ἐπαινῶ ὅτι οὐκ εἰς τὸ κρεῖσσον ἀλλὰ εἰς τὸ ἧσσον συνέρχεσθε.
Hoc autem praecipio : non laudans quod non in melius, sed in deterius convenitis.

But in giving you this command I don’t praise you, because you come together not for the better but for the worse.
11:18
πρῶτον μὲν γὰρ συνερχομένων ὑμῶν ἐν ἐκκλησίᾳ ἀκούω σχίσματα ἐν ὑμῖν ὑπάρχειν, καὶ μέρος τι πιστεύω.
Primum quidem convenientibus vobis in ecclesiam, audio scissuras esse inter vos, et ex parte credo.
ቀዳሜ ኵሉ ትትጋአዙ በቤተ ክርስቲያን ወትትላኰዩ ሰማዕኩ ወቦ ዘአአምንሂ።
For first of all, when you come together in the assembly, I hear that divisions exist among you, and I partly believe it.
11:19
δεῖ γὰρ καὶ αἱρέσεις ἐν ὑμῖν εἶναι, ἵνα οἱ δόκιμοι φανεροὶ γένωνται ἐν ὑμῖν.
Nam oportet et haereses esse, ut et qui probati sunt, manifesti fiant in vobis.
ርቱዕኑ ትትናፈቁ ወትትጋአዙሂ ከመ ይትዐወቁ ቢጽ ኅሩያን እምኔክሙ።
For there also must be factions among you, that those who are approved may be revealed among you.
11:20
συνερχομένων οὖν ὑμῶν ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ οὐκ ἔστιν κυριακὸν δεῖπνον φαγεῖν,
Convenientibus ergo vobis in unum, jam non est Dominicam coenam manducare.
ወአንትሙኒ እንከ አመ ትትጋብኡ አኮ ከመ ዘይደሉ ለዕለተ እግዚእነ ዘትበልዑ ወዘትሰትዩ።
When therefore you assemble yourselves together, it is not the Lord’s supper that you eat.
11:21
ἕκαστος γὰρ τὸ ἴδιον δεῖπνον προλαμβάνει ἐν τῷ φαγεῖν, καὶ ὃς μὲν πεινᾷ, ὃς δὲ μεθύει.
Unusquisque enim suam coenam praesumit ad manducandum, et alius quidem esurit, alius autem ebrius est.
አላ ትትባደሩ ኀበ ድራር ወትበልዑ እንዘ በለፌ ሀለዉ ርኁባን ወአንትሙሰ ጽጉባን ወስኩራን።
For in your eating each one takes his own supper first. One is hungry, and another is drunken.
11:22
μὴ γὰρ οἰκίας οὐκ ἔχετε εἰς τὸ ἐσθίειν καὶ πίνειν; ἢ τῆς ἐκκλησίας τοῦ θεοῦ καταφρονεῖτε, καὶ καταισχύνετε τοὺς μὴ ἔχοντας; τί εἴπω ὑμῖν; ἐπαινέσω ὑμᾶς; ἐν τούτῳ οὐκ ἐπαινῶ.
Numquid domos non habetis ad manducandum, et bibendum ? aut ecclesiam Dei contemnitis, et confunditis eos qui non habent ? Quid dicam vobis ? laudo vos ? in hoc non laudo.
ቦኑ አብያት አልብክሙ በኀበ ትበልዑ ወበኀበ ትሰትዩ ወሚመ ቤተ እግዚአብሔርኑ ታስተሐቅሩ ወታስተኀፍርዎሙ ለነዳያን ምንተ እብል በዝንቱ እንእደክሙኑ አልቦ።
What, don’t you have houses to eat and to drink in? Or do you despise God’s assembly and put them to shame who don’t have enough? What shall I tell you? Shall I praise you? In this I don’t praise you.
11:23
ἐγὼ γὰρ παρέλαβον ἀπὸ τοῦ κυρίου, ὃ καὶ παρέδωκα ὑμῖν, ὅτι ὁ κύριος Ἰησοῦς ἐν τῇ νυκτὶ ᾗ παρεδίδετο ἔλαβεν ἄρτον
Ego enim accepi a Domino quod et tradidi vobis, quoniam Dominus Jesus in qua nocte tradebatur, accepit panem,
እስመ ዘከመ ተመሀርኩ በኀበ እግዚአብሔር መሀርኩክሙ እስመ ለሊሁ እግዚእነ ኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ አመ ርእሶ ይእኅዝዎ በይእቲ ሌሊት ነሥአ ኅብስተ።
For I received from the Lord that which also I delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night in which he was betrayed took bread.
11:24
καὶ εὐχαριστήσας ἔκλασεν καὶ εἶπεν, τοῦτό μού ἐστιν τὸ σῶμα τὸ ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν· τοῦτο ποιεῖτε εἰς τὴν ἐμὴν ἀνάμνησιν.
et gratias agens fregit, et dixit : Accipite, et manducate : hoc est corpus meum, quod pro vobis tradetur : hoc facite in meam commemorationem.

When he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “Take, eat. This is my body, which is broken for you. Do this in memory of me.”
11:25
ὡσαύτως καὶ τὸ ποτήριον μετὰ τὸ δειπνῆσαι, λέγων, τοῦτο τὸ ποτήριον ἡ καινὴ διαθήκη ἐστὶν ἐν τῷ ἐμῷ αἵματι· τοῦτο ποιεῖτε, ὁσάκις ἐὰν πίνητε, εἰς τὴν ἐμὴν ἀνάμνησιν.
Similiter et calicem, postquam coenavit, dicens : Hic calix novum testamentum est in meo sanguine : hoc facite quotiescumque bibetis, in meam commemorationem.

In the same way he also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink, in memory of me.”
11:26
ὁσάκις γὰρ ἐὰν ἐσθίητε τὸν ἄρτον τοῦτον καὶ τὸ ποτήριον πίνητε, τὸν θάνατον τοῦ κυρίου καταγγέλλετε, ἄχρι οὗ ἔλθῃ.
Quotiescumque enim manducabitis panem hunc, et calicem bibetis, mortem Domini annuntiabitis donec veniat.
አምጣነ ትበልዕዎ ለዝንቱ ኅብስት ወትሰትይዎ ለዝንቱ ጽዋዕ ሞቶ ለእግዚእነ ትዜንዉ እስከ አመ ይመጽእ።
For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.
11:27
ὥστε ὃς ἂν ἐσθίῃ τὸν ἄρτον ἢ πίνῃ τὸ ποτήριον τοῦ κυρίου ἀναξίως, ἔνοχος ἔσται τοῦ σώματος καὶ τοῦ αἵματος τοῦ κυρίου.
Itaque quicumque manducaverit panem hunc, vel biberit calicem Domini indigne, reus erit corporis et sanguinis Domini.
ወይእዜኒ ዘበልዖ ለዝንቱ ኅብስት ወዘሰትዮ ለዝንቱ ጽዋዕ እንዘ ኢይደልዎ ዕዳ ይትኃሠሥዎ በእንተ ሥጋሁ ወደሙ ለእግዚእነ።
Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks the Lord’s cup in a way unworthy of the Lord will be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.
11:28
δοκιμαζέτω δὲ ἄνθρωπος ἑαυτόν, καὶ οὕτως ἐκ τοῦ ἄρτου ἐσθιέτω καὶ ἐκ τοῦ ποτηρίου πινέτω·
Probet autem seipsum homo : et sic de pane illo edat, et de calice bibat.
ወይእዜኒ አመኪሮ ሰብእ ርእሶ ወአንጺሖ ይብላዕ እምውእቱ ኅብስት ወይስተይ እምውእቱ ጽዋዕ።
But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup.
11:29
ὁ γὰρ ἐσθίων καὶ πίνων κρίμα ἑαυτῷ ἐσθίει καὶ πίνει μὴ διακρίνων τὸ σῶμα.
Qui enim manducat et bibit indigne, judicium sibi manducat et bibit, non dijudicans corpus Domini.
እስመ ዘበልዖ ወዘሰትዮ እንዘ ኢይደልዎ ደይኖ ወመቅሠፍቶ በልዐ ወሰትየ ለርእሱ ለእመ ኢያእመረ ሥጋ እግዚእነ ወኢኮነ ንጹሐ ነፍሱ።
For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy way eats and drinks judgment to himself if he doesn’t discern the Lord’s body.
11:30
διὰ τοῦτο ἐν ὑμῖν πολλοὶ ἀσθενεῖς καὶ ἄρρωστοι καὶ κοιμῶνται ἱκανοί.
Ideo inter vos multi infirmi et imbecilles, et dormiunt multi.
ወበእንተዝ ብዙኃን ድዉያን ወሕሙማን እምውስቴትክሙ ወብዙኃን ይሰክቡ ግብተ።
For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep.
11:31
εἰ δὲ ἑαυτοὺς διεκρίνομεν, οὐκ ἂν ἐκρινόμεθα·
Quod si nosmetipsos dijudicaremus, non utique judicaremur.
ወሶበ ኰነነ ለሊነ ርእሰነ እምኢተኰነነ።
For if we discerned ourselves, we wouldn’t be judged.
11:32
κρινόμενοι δὲ ὑπὸ τοῦ κυρίου παιδευόμεθα, ἵνα μὴ σὺν τῷ κόσμῳ κατακριθῶμεν.
Dum judicamur autem, a Domino corripimur, ut non cum hoc mundo damnemur.
ወእመሰ እግዚአብሔር የሐትተነ ወይጌሥጸነ ከመ ኢንዕሪ ተኰንኖ ምስለ ዓለም።
But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.
11:33
ὥστε, ἀδελφοί μου, συνερχόμενοι εἰς τὸ φαγεῖν ἀλλήλους ἐκδέχεσθε.
Itaque fratres mei, cum convenitis ad manducandum, invicem exspectate.
ወይእዜኒ አኀዊነ ሶበ ተሐውሩ ትምስሑ ተጻንሑ ቢጸክሙ።
Therefore, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.
11:34
εἴ τις πεινᾷ, ἐν οἴκῳ ἐσθιέτω, ἵνα μὴ εἰς κρίμα συνέρχησθε. τὰ δὲ λοιπὰ ὡς ἂν ἔλθω διατάξομαι.
Si quis esurit, domi manducet, ut non in judicium conveniatis. Cetera autem, cum venero, disponam.
ወዘኒ ርኅበ በቤቱ ለይብላዕ ከመ ኢትርፍቁ ለኵነኔ ወኢትትሐየሱ ወባዕደሰ መጺእየ እሠርዐክሙ።
But if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest your coming together be for judgment. The rest I will set in order whenever I come.
