1 Corinthians 5

1 [Now I want to discuss another matter]. It has been {People have} reported to me, and I believe that it is true, that some people among you have been acting in a sexually immoral way, in a way that is so bad that not even (pagans/people who do not know about God) act that way. People tell me that a man is living with his stepmother (OR, his father’s other wife).

Tina nlanza ubellen uworu nenge kulapin zina di nan nya mine, imusu kulapi kọ na iyinna mun nan nya na lumai wang ba. Nafo na ubelle di umon nan nya mine adin nnozu nin nwani ncife.

2 You should be sad about what that man is doing! He should have been expelled {[You] should have expelled him} from your congregation! [But you] have not [done that], so (how can you be proud, [thinking that you are spiritually mature?]/it is disgusting that you are proud, [thinking that you are spiritually mature]!) [RHQ]

Anun din nfo figiri! Na iwana di tiyoma ba? Ulle na assu ille imon gbas iba kallughe nanya mine.

3 As for me, I have already decided [how you should] punish that man. And even though I am away from you, my spirit is with you, and you should do as I would do if I were there with you.

Bara nani, nsali ku nan nya kidowo, vat nani nduku nan nya nfip milau, inna malu usu nan su nille imone ushariya nafo uwandi kite.

4 [What I have decided is that] when you have gathered together with the authority [MTY] of our Lord Jesus, and my spirit is with you, and the power of our Lord Jesus [is with you],

Assa izurro ligowe nan nya lisan Chikilari bite Yesu, nfip nighe duku nin likara Chikilari bite Yisa-nna mallu usu unit une ushariya.

5 you should hand that man over to Satan. Then Satan can injure/punish his body, in order that [he will turn away from his sinful behavior] and his spirit will be saved on the day when the Lord [returns] [MTY].

Nnakpaghe nachara nshitan a mollu kidowo finawa, bara fisudu me nanse utuchu liri ndak in Chikilari.

6 It is not good that, [while you are letting that immoral man continue to be in your congregation], you are boasting [about being spiritually mature]. (You know that a small amount of yeast affects all the bread dough [MET] [into which it is put] {[a woman puts it]}./Do you not know that a small amount of yeast affects all the bread dough [MET] [into which it is put]?) [RHQ] [Similarly, one person who continues to sin will have a bad effect on all the congregation].

Ufo figiri mine caun ba. Na anun yiru nwo uyist chingilin asa utah likalang ta fukuku ba?

7 So, [just like we Jews] expel the old yeast [from our houses during the Passover celebration] in order that we may have a fresh batch of dough without yeast in it [MET], [you must expel such evil people from your congregation]. Do [that so that you can truly be holy people], as [I know that] you really are. Remember that Christ was sacrificed {sacrificed himself} [so that God could spare us from being punished for our sins, just like the Jews sacrificed lambs during] the [first] Passover celebration [so that God would spare their firstborn sons from being killed].

Wesen atimine kitin nyist ukuse inan nso likalang lipese nene na idi nafo likalan nborodi ubishe. Bara Kristi, kukam ntuchu bite, na iwa gutun mmii me.

8 So let us celebrate [the fact that God has freed us from being punished us for our sins] [MET], [just like the Jews] in [later years] celebrated Passover [to celebrate God freeing them from being slaves in Egypt. They made sure that there was] no old yeast in the dough. [They ate bread that] had no yeast in it. [Similarly], [we should make sure that there are no people in our congregations] [MET] [who act] maliciously [toward others] or [act] wickedly. Instead, [make sure] [MET] [that all those in our congregations are ones who act] sincerely and [speak] truthfully.

Bara nani na tisu ubuki nayi abo, na nin nyist ukuse ba, uyist na udin dasu nin likara linanzang nin magunta, amma nin mborodi nsalin nmucu ucine nin kidegen.

9 In the previous letter that I wrote to you, I said that you should not associate with sexually immoral people.

Nna nyertu munu nan nya kuffa niyerte nighe yenje iwa munu ati nin na nan kulapin nzina.

10 I did not mean that you should not associate with unbelievers who are immoral, or who desire things that belong to others, or who (forcefully seize things that belong to others/are swindlers), or who worship idols. You would have to leave this world [to avoid all people] like that.

Uwan ma bellin minu nworu na nlon libau duku na linmunu minu nan nanan nzina nanan nsu nimon nyi, nin nanan bolusu nimon, ukudayi, sa akiri, alle nanit, sa anan nchil, ucaun inuzu nan nya nyi.

11 But now [I am stating clearly that] when I wrote, I [meant that] you should not associate with those who say that they are fellow believers, if they are sexually immoral or if they desire and forcefully seize things that belong to others, or worship idols, or slander others, or become drunk. You should not associate with people like that, and you should not even eat with them!

Nene ndin nyertu munu yenje umon wan munu liiti nin gwana kilime sa kishono na adi nan nyan Kristi nin nanit alle na idin su uzina, sa anan nsu nimon nyi, sa anan nchil, sa anan tizogo, sa anan nson ntoro, sa ukiri. Yenje iwa lii imonli ninghe.

12 It is certainly not [RHQ] my business to judge people who are not believers and who do not belong to [Christian congregations]. But it certainly is [RHQ] your business to judge those who are in [your congregation]!

(Iyaghari myen ninku nin su nale na isali nan nya kutii Kutellẹ ushara?) Na, anughere din woru isu ale na idi nanya kutii Kutellẹ Ushara we ba?

13 God is the one who will judge those who are not believers. [Do as the Scriptures command]: “Expel the wicked person from your midst!”

Bara nani Kutellẹ dinsu alle na idin ndas ushara “Nuntunon fisudu finanzan fone nanya mine.”
