OET (OET-LV) Every man praying or prophesying on ^his_head having anything, is_disgracing the head of_him.
OET (OET-RV) Any man who prays or speaks out a prophecy with his head covered is dishonouring his head,
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-time-simultaneous
κατὰ κεφαλῆς ἔχων
on /his/_head having_‹anything›
Here, having something on his head happens at the same time as praying or prophesying. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the relationship between these events with a word or phrase that indicates that the events happen at the same time. Alternate translation: “while he has something on his head”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
κατὰ κεφαλῆς ἔχων
on /his/_head having_‹anything›
Here, something on his head refers to a piece of clothing that would be worn on the top and back of the head. The phrase does not refer to hair or to some piece of clothing that obscures the face. Paul does not clarify, however, what kind of clothing this might be. If possible, use a general phrase that could refer to clothing. Alternate translation: “having a covering on his head”
Note 3 topic: translate-unknown
καταισχύνει
/is/_disgracing
Here, dishonors is a word that refers to shaming someone else or causing them to lose honor. Use a word or phrase in your language that refers to this idea. Alternate translation: “shames” or “takes honor away from”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ
the head ˱of˲_him
Here, his head could refer to: (1) how 11:3 states that “Christ is the head of every man.” The phrase his head thus refers to “Christ” as the head of the man. Alternate translation: “Christ, his head” (2) the man’s physical head, which would mean that the man dishonors “himself.” Alternate translation: “his own head” or “himself”
11:3-16 Paul now addresses a woman’s use of a head covering. Paul argues that women publicly praying or prophesying should wear a veil as an element of dressing modestly and appropriately in public worship (cp. 1 Tim 2:9; 1 Pet 3:3). Apparently some in Corinth were rejecting head coverings based on freedom in Christ. Paul’s argument in favor of the custom is based on traditional social conventions, the Genesis account of creation, and the watchful eye of angels.
