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).
Au rena oi, hambu atahori esa sia hei nggarei ma naꞌaminaꞌ inaꞌ. Tao-tao te, eni taoꞌ naa, deꞌulakan lenaꞌ atahori nda feꞌe nahine Lamatualain sa. Huu eni akaꞌ sunggu no ina mbala na!
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]
Te hei koao mara dei, onaꞌ hei atahori saraniꞌ mara maloleꞌ re! Matetun, hei musi mae ma susa. Atahori mana onaꞌ naa, musi oi hendi e naꞌadodꞌooꞌ!
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.
Mae taꞌadooꞌ esa no esa o, au rala ngga sia hei e. Dadꞌi au uꞌetuꞌ atahori deꞌulakaꞌ naa dedꞌea na, onaꞌ au sia naa memaꞌ ena.
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],
Au uꞌena hak fo uꞌetuꞌ taꞌo naa, huu Yesus dadꞌi hita Lamatuan, ma au ia, Eni dedꞌenun. De ama musi endoꞌ miꞌibꞌue fo miꞌetuꞌ dedꞌeat naa, mendiꞌ Lamatuaꞌ naran. Ma au ralaꞌ esa o nggi boe.
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].
Boe ma ama musi mendi atahori naa nisiꞌ nitu ra malanggan, hela e dodꞌoo fo atahori naa nggari hendi dala-dala deꞌulakaꞌ mana sia ralan dei. Ma dei fo hita Lamatuan baliꞌ nema, na, Ana bisa fee masoi-masodꞌaꞌ neu atahori naa, sala-kilu nara.
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].
Nda maloleꞌ sa mete ma hei olaꞌ naeꞌ! Afiꞌ liliiꞌ mae, hita sesebꞌoꞌ bibꞌit roti mbeiꞌ a, fo tao basa roti a reis. Bibit roti naa, onaꞌ atahori naa deꞌulaka nara. De mete ma hela e akaꞌ tao deꞌulakaꞌ sia taladꞌa mara, dei fo atahori saraniꞌ laen ra o tao tungga deꞌulakaꞌ boe.
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].
Mbuu hendi atahori deꞌulakaꞌ naa mia hei nggarei ma, onaꞌ maꞌahulun atahori Yahudi ra nggari hendi basa bibꞌit roti mia ume nara fo sadꞌia raa fefeta Paska. No taꞌo naa, hei feꞌe bisa dadꞌi baliꞌ onaꞌ atahori fo ralan nda hambu deꞌulakaꞌ sa. Hei musi dadꞌi onaꞌ naa boe. Lele uluꞌ a, ara hala bibꞌi lombo anaꞌ nda ma salaꞌ sa dadꞌi tutunu-hohotu Paska. Maꞌabuin ma ara tao risa Lamatualain Atahori Meumaren, de dadꞌi tutunu-hohotuꞌ mana tao nameu rala tara.
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.
Lele uluꞌ a, atahori Yahudi ra raa fefeta Paska rendiꞌ roti lepa-nggees nda mana tao bibꞌit sa. Leleꞌ ia, hita onaꞌ roti nda mana tao bibꞌit sa. Naeni de tanea ao tara fo afiꞌ tao dala-dala deꞌulakaꞌ ra, ma afiꞌ tao nemeraꞌ atahori laen rala nara. Ata musi olaꞌ takandooꞌ a ndoo-tetuꞌ a. No taꞌo naa, atahori mete na rae, hita tao basa-bꞌasaꞌ e tungga rala malole tara.
9 In the previous letter that I wrote to you, I said that you should not associate with sexually immoral people.
Lele uluꞌ a, au parna suraꞌ susura ae, “Afiꞌ miꞌibꞌue mo atahori mana tao leliꞌ ro touꞌ do inaꞌ fo sira nda saon sa.”
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.
Au nda uꞌena masud, fo ama afiꞌ miꞌibꞌue mo basa atahori sia raefafoꞌ ia fo nda mana tao afiꞌ neu Lamatualain sa, do atahori mana bareꞌ, do atahori mana peko-lelekoꞌ mana laka-ese nala atahori sudꞌiꞌ a saa nara, do mana songgo ra. Huu mete ma taꞌo naa, na, hei musi miꞌidodꞌooꞌ ao mara mia basa atahori mana sia raefafoꞌ ia.
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!
Te leleꞌ ia, au oꞌola ngga na, naeni: hei afiꞌ miꞌibꞌue mo atahori mana nae eni atahori saraniꞌ, tao-tao te ana tao leli no atahori fo sira nda saon sa, mana bareꞌ, mana songgo, mana maꞌamuti atahori naran, ninu mafu kale-kale, pepeko-lelekoꞌ nae haꞌi nala atahori sudꞌiꞌ a saa na. Hita afiꞌ taꞌabꞌue to atahori mataꞌ naa ra. Afiꞌ endoꞌ taa to se boe!
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]!
Hei miꞌena hak fo nile atahori saraniꞌ ra masodꞌa nara. Te au nda uꞌena hak fo uꞌetuꞌ dedꞌeat fee neu atahori nda mana ramahere Lamatualain sa.
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!”
Huu dei fo Mesaꞌ ne mana naꞌetuꞌ dedꞌeat fee neu atahori nda mana ramahere neu E sa. Te ama afiꞌ liliiꞌ Lamatualain Susura Meumaren suraꞌ oi, “Atahori mana nafadꞌe nae eni Lamatuaꞌ atahorin, te akaꞌ tao dala-dala deꞌulakaꞌ, na mbuu hendi e leo!”
