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).
Geralmente se ouve que há entre vós fornicação, e fornicação tal, qual nem ainda entre os gentios, como é haver quem abuse da mulher de seu pai.
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]
E estais inchados, e nem ao menos vos entristecestes por não ter sido dentre vós tirado quem cometeu tal feito.
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.
Eu na verdade, ainda que ausente, no corpo, mas presente no espírito, já determinei como se estivesse presente, que o que tal assim cometeu,
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],
Em nome de nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo, juntos vós e o meu espírito, em virtude de nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo,
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].
Seja entregue a Satanás para destruição da carne, para que o espírito seja salvo no dia do Senhor Jesus.
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].
Não é boa a vossa jactância. Não sabeis que um pouco de fermento faz levedar toda a massa?
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].
Limpai pois o fermento velho, para que sejais uma nova massa, assim como sois sem fermento. Porque Cristo, nossa pascoa, foi sacrificado por nós.
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.
Pelo que façamos a festa, não com o fermento velho, nem com o fermento da maldade e da malícia, mas com os pães asmos da sinceridade e da verdade.
9 In the previous letter that I wrote to you, I said that you should not associate with sexually immoral people.
Já por carta vos tenho escrito, que não vos associeis com os fornicadores;
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.
Mas não absolutamente com os fornicadores deste mundo, ou com os avarentos, ou com os roubadores, ou com os idólatras; porque então vos seria necessário sair do mundo.
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!
Mas agora vos escrevi que não vos associeis, quero dizer, que, se algum, chamando-se irmão, for fornicador, ou avarento, ou idólatra, ou maldizente, ou beberrão, ou roubador, com o tal nem ainda comais.
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]!
Porque, que tenho eu em julgar também os que estão fora? Não julgais vós os que estão dentro?
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!”
Mas Deus julga os que estão fora. tirai pois dentre vós a esse iníquo.
