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).

Słyszy się powszechnie o nierządzie wśród was, i to takim nierządzie, o jakim nie wspomina się nawet wśród pogan, że ktoś ma żonę [swego] ojca.

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]

A wy wbiliście się w pychę, zamiast [tak] się smucić, aby został usunięty spośród was ten, kto się dopuścił tego czynu.

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.

Ja bowiem, nieobecny ciałem, lecz obecny duchem, już jakbym był obecny, osądziłem tego, który to uczynił.

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],

W imieniu naszego Pana Jezusa Chrystusa, gdy się zgromadzicie, [wy] i mój duch, z mocą naszego Pana Jezusa Chrystusa;

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].

Wydajcie takiego szatanowi na zatracenie ciała, żeby duch był zbawiony w dniu Pana Jezusa.

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].

Wasze chlubienie się nie jest dobre. Czyż nie wiecie, że trochę zakwasu całe ciasto zakwasza?

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].

Usuńcie więc stary zakwas, abyście byli nowym ciastem, jako że jesteście przaśni. Chrystus bowiem, nasza Pascha, został ofiarowany za nas.

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.

Obchodźmy zatem święto nie ze starym zakwasem ani z zakwasem złośliwości i przewrotności, ale w przaśnikach szczerości i prawdy.

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

Napisałem wam w liście, żebyście nie przestawali z rozpustnikami;

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.

Ale nie z rozpustnikami tego świata w ogóle lub chciwymi, zdziercami czy bałwochwalcami, [bo] inaczej musielibyście opuścić ten świat.

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!

Teraz jednak napisałem wam, żebyście nie przestawali z takim, który nazywając się bratem, jest rozpustnikiem, chciwym, bałwochwalcą, złorzeczącym, pijakiem lub zdziercą. Z takim nawet nie jadajcie.

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]!

Po co mi bowiem sądzić tych, którzy są na zewnątrz? Czy wy nie sądzicie tych, którzy są wewnątrz?

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!”

Tych, którzy są na zewnątrz, osądzi Bóg. Usuńcie więc złego spośród was samych.
