Exegesis
The final clause kai heis diermeneueto {καὶ εἷς διερμηνευέτω | kaí heîs di-er-mē-neu-é-tō} is coordinated but contains its own imperative verb, specifying that exactly one person is to do the interpreting. English word order preserves the initial conditional clause and then divides the long Greek sentence into clear segments (number of speakers, sequence, and requirement of an interpreter) to reflect the Greek coordination while maintaining readability and highlighting the concern for comprehensible, orderly communication.
In context — 1 Corinthians 14:27
