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.
Efa re marina fa misy fijangajangana atỳ aminareo, eny, dia fijangajangana izay tsy misy tahaka azy na dia amin’ ny jentilisa asa, fa misy anankiray manambady ny vadin-drainy.
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?
Ary ianareo indray va no mirehareha, ka tsy nampalahelo anareo akory izany, mba hesorina tsy ho ao aminareo ilay nanao izany zavatra izany?
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.
Fa izaho, na dia tsy teo aza ny tenako, nefa teo ihany ny fanahiko, dia efa nitsara sahady an’ ilay nanao toy izany, tahaka ny teo ihany aho:
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,
amin’ ny anaran’ i Jesosy Tompontsika ― rehefa tafangona ianareo sy ny fanahiko omban’ ny herin’ i Jesosy Tompontsika ―
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.
hanolotra izany anankiray izany ho an’ i Satana hanimbana ny nofo, mba hamonjena ny fanahy amin’ ny andron’ i Jesosy Tompo.
6 Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven works through the whole batch of dough?
Tsy mety ny fireharehanareo. Tsy fantatrareo va fa ny masirasira kely dia mahazo ny vongana rehetra?
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.
Esory ny masirasira ela, mba ho vongana vaovao ianareo, araka izay tsy maha-misy masirasira anareo. Fa voavono Kristy, Paska ho antsika;
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.
ka dia aoka isika hanao andro firavoravoana, tsy amin’ ny masirasira ela, na amin’ ny masirasira lolompo sy faharatsiana, fa amin’ ny mofo tsy misy masirasira, dia ny fahadiovam-po sy ny fahamarinana.
9 I wrote you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people.
Nanoratra taminareo teo amin’ ny epistily aho mba tsy hiharoharoanareo amin’ izay mpijangajanga;
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.
nefa tsy ny mpijangajanga rehetra amin’ izao tontolo izao, na ny mpierina sy ny mpanao an-keriny, na ny mpanompo sampy; fa raha izany, dia tsy maintsy miala amin’ izao tontolo izao ianareo.
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.
Fa ny nanoratako taminareo, dia ny mba tsy hiharoharoanareo aminy, raha misy atao hoe rahalahy, nefa mpijangajanga, na mpierina, na mpanompo sampy, na mpanaratsy, na mpimamo, na mpanao an-keriny, dia aza miara-mihinana akory amin’ ny toy izany ianareo.
12 What business of mine is it to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside?
Fa ahoako ny hitsara ny any ivelany? Tsy ny ao anatiny va no tsarainareo?
13 God will judge those outside. “Expel the wicked man from among you.”
Fa ny any ivelany dia tsarain’ Andriamanitra. Esory aminareo ilay mpanao ratsy.
