1 Corinthians 5

1 I hear reports that sexual immorality is happening among you, immorality that even the foreigners don't practice. A man is living with his father's wife!

Nnansa yi wɔkeka se aguaman a morebɔ wɔ asafo no mu no yɛ hu a abosonsomfo mpo renyɛ saa. Mate mpo sɛ obi afa nʼagya yere.

2 You are so proud of yourselves! Shouldn't you have wept with sadness, and excluded the man who did this?

Na ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na moatumi ahoahoa mo ho? Adɛn nti na ɛnsɛ sɛ mo werɛ how wɔ ho na mompam saa onipa no mfi mo mu?

3 Even though I'm not physically present there, I am there in spirit and just as if I were there I've already made my judgment of the one who has done this.

Ɛwɔ mu, me de, me ne mo ntam kwan ware nanso mewɔ mo nkyɛn wɔ honhom mu. Yɛn Awurade Yesu din mu, mabu onipa a ɔyɛɛ afide yi atɛn dedaw te sɛ nea mewɔ mo nkyɛn ara pɛ.

4 When you meet together in the name of the Lord Jesus I'll be there with you in spirit and with the power of our Lord Jesus.

Muhyia na meka mo ho wɔ honhom mu a, Awurade Yesu tumi a ɛka yɛn ho no nti,

5 Hand over this man to Satan so his sinful nature may be destroyed and he himself be saved on the day of the Lord.

ɛsɛ sɛ mode saa onipa no ma ɔbonsam na ɔsɛe ne nipadua no na Awurade da no du a, wagye ne honhom nkwa.

6 You shouldn't be proud about this. Don't you know that it only takes a little yeast to make the whole batch of dough rise?

Ɛnsɛ sɛ mohoahoa mo ho. Munim sɛ mmɔkaw kakraa bi na ɛma mmɔre no tu ana?

7 Get rid of this old yeast so that you can be a new batch of dough to make bread without yeast. Christ our Passover lamb has been sacrificed.

Ɛsɛ sɛ muyi saa bɔne mmɔkaw dedaw yi fi mo mu na moayɛ kronkron. Ɛba saa a, mobɛyɛ sɛ mmɔre foforo a mmɔkaw nni mu sɛnea minim mo sɛ mote dedaw no. Afei a wɔde Kristo a ɔyɛ yɛn Twam Guamma no abɔ afɔre no, yɛn Twam Afahyɛ no adu so.

8 So let us celebrate this festival, not with old yeast or the yeast of evil and wickedness, but with the bread made without yeast, the bread of sincerity and truth.

Eyi nti mommma yɛmmfa mmɔkaw dedaw a ɛyɛ bɔne no nni afahyɛ no, na mmom yɛmfa brodo a mmɔkaw nni mu na ɛyɛ kronkron no na enni afahyɛ no.

9 In my previous letter I wrote that you should not associate with immoral people.

Krataa a mekyerɛw mo no, mekaa wɔ mu se mommfa mo ho mmmɔ nguamanfo ho koraa,

10 I wasn't referring to the immoral people of this world, those who are greedy and cheat others, or those who worship idols, otherwise you'd have to leave this world!

anaa wiase yi nguamanfo anaa aniberefo anaa akorɔmfo anaa wɔn a wɔsom ahoni. Sɛ wompɛ sɛ wo ne eyinom bɔ a, na ɛsɛ sɛ wufi wiase koraa.

11 What I meant when I wrote was that you shouldn't associate with anyone who is called a Christian who is immoral or greedy or worships idols; or who is abusive or a drunkard or who cheats others. Don't even share a meal with anyone like that!

Nea mekyerɛ ne sɛ, mommfa mo ho mmmɔ onipa a ɔfrɛ ne ho se onua nanso ɔbɔ aguaman anaa ɔyɛ oniberefo anaa ɔsom ahoni anaa ɔkɔnkɔnsani anaa ɔkɔwensani anaa ɔkorɔmfo. Onipa a ɔte saa no, mo ne no nntena ase nto nsa nnidi.

12 It's not my place to judge those outside the church. But shouldn't you judge those who are inside the church?

Adɛn nti na ɛsɛ sɛ mibu wɔn a wɔnka asafo no ho atɛn? Ɛnyɛ wɔn a wɔwɔ asafo no mu mmom na ɛsɛ sɛ mubu wɔn atɛn?

13 God judges those that are outside the church. “Expel the wicked from among you.”

Onyankopɔn na obebu wɔn a wonni asafo no mu atɛn, sɛnea Kyerɛwsɛm no ka se, “Mompam onipa bɔne no mfi mo mu.”
