Will sie sich nicht bedecken, so schneide man ihr das Haar ab. Nun es aber übel steht, daß ein Weib verschnittenes Haar habe und geschoren sei, so lasset sie das Haupt bedecken.
Porque si la mujer no se cubre, trasquílese también: y si es deshonesto a la mujer trasquilarse o raerse, cúbrase.
Porque, si la mujer no se cubre, que también se corte el cabello; pero, si es vergonzoso para una mujer cortarse el cabello o raparse, que se cubra.
Car si une femme n'est pas voilée, qu'elle se coupe aussi les cheveux. Or, s'il est honteux pour une femme d'avoir les cheveux coupés ou d'être rasée, qu'elle se voile.
Imperocchè, se la donna non si vela, si tagli anche i capelli! Ora se è cosa disonesta per la donna il tagliarsi i capelli, o il radersi il capo, si veli.
Portanto, se a mulher não se cobre com véu, tosquie-se também. Mas, se para a mulher é coisa indecente tosquiar-se ou rapar-se, que ponha o véu.
女人若不蒙著頭,就該剪了頭髮;女人若以剪髮剃髮為羞愧,就該蒙著頭。
