< 1 Corinthians 5 >
1 It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that is intolerable even among pagans: A man has his father’s wife.
Ọ bụ akụkọ doro anya na-enwe ịkwa iko nʼetiti unu, ụdị nke ndị na-ekweghị ekwe na-apụghị ime, ka unu na-eme. Otu onye nʼime ụlọ unu kpọọrọ nwunye nna ya, ha abụọ e biri.
2 And you are proud! Shouldn’t you rather have been stricken with grief and have removed from your fellowship the man who did this?
Ma unu na-akpa nganga? Ihe unu kwesiri ime ọ bụghị ịkwa akwa na iru ụjụ, na ime ka onye mere ihe dị otu a si nʼọgbakọ unu pụọ?
3 Although I am absent from you in body, I am present with you in spirit, and I have already pronounced judgment on the one who did this, just as if I were present.
Ọ bụ ezie na mụ na unu anọghị ugbu a, ma mụ na unu nọkwa nʼime mmụọ. Amaala m rịị onye ahụ ikpe dịka a ga-asị na mụ na unu nọ.
4 When you are assembled in the name of our Lord Jesus and I am with you in spirit, along with the power of the Lord Jesus,
Eji m aha Onyenwe anyị ma ya ikpe. Mgbe unu zukọrọ, aga m anọnyere unu na mmụọ. Nʼoge ahụ, site nʼike Onyenwe anyị Jisọs,
5 hand this man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved on the Day of the Lord.
werenụ nwoke a nyefee nʼaka ekwensu, ka ọ taa anụ ahụ ya ahụhụ, ka e nwee ike ịzọpụta mmụọ ya, mgbe Onyenwe anyị lọghachiri.
6 Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven works through the whole batch of dough?
Ịnya isi unu ezighị ezi. Ọ bụ unu amaghị na nwantakịrị yiist a gwakọrọ nʼụtụ ọka na-eme ka o koo?
7 Get rid of the old leaven, that you may be a new unleavened batch, as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.
Wepụnụ ihe nʼeko achịcha a nọ nʼetiti unu, ka unu bụrụ ndị dị ọhụrụ, na ndị dị ọcha. Nʼihi na a chụọlarị Kraịst, bụ aja nwa atụrụ, nke Ngabiga anyị.
8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with the old bread, leavened with malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and of truth.
Nʼihi ya ka anyị mee mmemme a na-ejighị ihe na-eko achịcha nke bụ ihe ọjọọ na obi ọjọọ, kama ka anyị jiri achịcha na-ekoghị eko nke bụ obi ọcha na eziokwu.
9 I wrote you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people.
E dere m unu nʼime akwụkwọ ozi m, ka unu na ndị na-akwa iko ghara inwe mmekọ ọbụla.
10 I was not including the sexually immoral of this world, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world.
Ọ bụghị ihe gbasara ndị nke ụwa ndị na-akwa iko, maọbụ ndị anya ukwu, na ndị na-apụnara mmadụ ihe, maọbụ ndị na-ekpere arụsị. Ọ bụrụ otu a, ọ pụtara na unu ga-esi nʼụwa pụọ.
11 But now I am writing you not to associate with anyone who claims to be a brother but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a verbal abuser, a drunkard or a swindler. With such a man do not even eat.
Ma ugbu a, a na m edere unu ka unu na onye ọbụla nke na-akpọ onwe ya nwanna nwoke maọbụ nwanna nwanyị ghara imekọ ihe, ma ọ bụrụ na ọ na-ebi ndụ ịkwa iko, maọbụ nwee anya ukwu, maọbụ na-ekpere arụsị, onye na-ekwutọ ibe ya, onye na-aṅụbiga mmanya oke, maọbụ onye na-apụnara mmadụ ihe. Unu na ndị dị otu a erikọla nri.
12 What business of mine is it to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside?
Kedụ nke gbasara m ikpe ndị na-esoghị na chọọchị ikpe? Ọ bụghị ndị nọ nʼime ka unu ga-ekpe ikpe.
13 God will judge those outside. “Expel the wicked man from among you.”
Chineke ga-ekpe ndị nọ nʼezi ikpe. “Chụpụnụ onye ajọọ mmadụ ahụ site nʼetiti unu.”
