OET (OET-LV) In you_all yourselves judge:
befitting it_is a_woman uncovered, to_ the _god to_be_praying?

OET (OET-RV) So judge for yourselves: is it proper for women to pray to God with their heads uncovered?

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 11:2–16: Men and women should dress appropriately to worship God

In this section Paul wrote about how men and women should dress during public worship. He wanted the women to cover their heads and the men to remain bare-headed. This was appropriate and proper and the custom of the other churches.

Here are some other possible section headings:

Wear appropriate clothing in public worship

Covering the head in worship

Paragraph 11:13–16

In this paragraph Paul shows from nature that men should wear short hair and women should wear long hair.

11:13a

Judge for yourselves:

Judge for yourselves: The Greek word that the BSB translates as Judge means to decide a question or solve a problem.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

Decide for yourselves

Consider among yourselves

Think about this

11:13b

Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?

Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?: This is a rhetorical question. Paul used it as an emphatic statement. He thought the Corinthians would already know this to be true. He hoped that people would respond “No.”

Here are some ways to translate this emphatic statement:

Use a form that is natural to emphasize something that the writer considers to be true.

Is it proper…?: When Paul asked the question Is it proper…? he asked whether this agreed with good order and social norms.

Here are some other ways to translate this question:

Is it right/correct…?

Is it good…?

Is it appropriate…?

General Comment on 11:13a-b

In some languages it may be natural to translate this as an indirect question, as the CEV does:

Ask yourselves if it is proper for a woman to pray without something on her head. (CEV)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

ἐν ὑμῖν αὐτοῖς κρίνατε: πρέπον ἐστὶν γυναῖκα ἀκατακάλυπτον, τῷ Θεῷ προσεύχεσθαι

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἐν ὑμῖν αὐτοῖς κρίνατε πρέπον ἐστίν γυναῖκα ἀκατακάλυπτον τῷ Θεῷ προσεύχεσθαι)

Paul does not ask this question because he is looking for information. Rather, he asks it to involve the Corinthians in what he is arguing. The question assumes that the answer is “no, it is not.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind this question with a strong negation. If you do, you may need to include a phrase such as “and you will find” after Judge for your own selves, which by itself introduces a question and not a statement. Alternate translation: [Judge for your own selves, and you will find that it is not proper for a woman to pray to God uncovered.] or [Judge for your own selves whether it is proper for a woman to pray to God uncovered.]

Note 2 topic: translate-unknown

πρέπον

befitting

Here, proper identifies behavior that most people in a culture would agree is “appropriate” or “right” for a certain people or situations. Use a word or phrase that identifies what is “appropriate” or “right” for someone or at some time. Alternate translation: [right for]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἀκατακάλυπτον

uncovered

Just as in [11:5](../11/05.md), uncovered could refer to: (1) not wearing a piece of clothing on the hair and back of the head. Alternate translation: [without a cloth on the head]; (2) not putting the hair up in a traditional hairstyle but instead letting it flow freely. Alternate translation: [with her hair unbound]
