< 1 Corinthians 5 >

1 We heard a report that there is sexual immorality among you, a kind of immorality that is not even permitted among the Gentiles. The report is that one of you is sleeping with his father's wife.
Nĩ ma ndeto nĩiraario atĩ thĩinĩ wanyu kũrĩ na ũtharia, na nĩ ũtharia mũthemba ũrĩa ũtangĩoneka o na kũrĩ andũ arĩa matetĩkĩtie Ngai: Naguo nĩ atĩ ũmwe wanyu nĩakomete na mũtumia wa ithe.
2 You are so arrogant! Should you not mourn instead? The one who did this must be removed from among you.
Na inyuĩ mũgakenera ũndũ ũcio! Githĩ mũtiagĩrĩirwo nĩgũkorwo mũiyũrĩtwo nĩ kĩeha, nĩguo mũndũ ũcio wĩkĩte ũguo mũmũingate, ehere ngwatanĩro-inĩ yanyu?
3 For even though I am absent in body, I am present in spirit. I have already passed judgment on the one who did this, just as though I were there.
O na ndakorwo ndirĩ hamwe na inyuĩ kũu, ndĩ hamwe na inyuĩ thĩinĩ wa roho, na nĩndĩkĩtie gũtuĩra mũndũ ũcio wĩkĩte ũguo ciira, o ta ndĩ hamwe na inyuĩ.
4 When you are assembled in the name of our Lord Jesus and I am with you in spirit, and the power of our Lord Jesus is present,
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mũrĩkorwo mũnganĩte thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩa Mwathani witũ Jesũ, na niĩ ndĩ hamwe na inyuĩ thĩinĩ wa roho, o na hinya wa Mwathani witũ Jesũ ũrĩ ho-rĩ,
5 hand this man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved on the day of the Lord.
mũndũ ũcio mũneanei kũrĩ Shaitani, nĩgeetha mehia make ma kĩĩmwĩrĩ maniinwo, naguo roho wake ũkaahonokio mũthenya ũrĩa wa Mwathani.
6 Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little yeast leavens the whole loaf?
Mwĩgaatho ũcio wanyu ti mwega. Kaĩ inyuĩ mũtooĩ atĩ ndawa nini ya kũimbia mĩgate nĩĩtũmaga kĩmere gĩothe kĩimbe?
7 Cleanse yourselves of the old yeast so that you may be new dough, so that you may be unleavened bread. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.
Eheriai ndawa ĩyo ya kũimbia mĩgate ĩrĩa ya tene biũ nĩguo mũtuĩke kĩmere kĩerũ gĩtarĩ na ndawa ya kũimbia, tondũ ũguo nĩguo mũtariĩ. Nĩgũkorwo Kristũ, o we gatũrũme gaitũ ka Bathaka, nĩarĩkĩtie kũrutwo igongona.
8 So let us then celebrate the festival, not with the old yeast, the yeast of bad behavior and wickedness. Instead, let us celebrate with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, nĩtũkũngũĩre Gĩathĩ, ti na ndawa ĩyo ya tene ya kũimbia mĩgate, ĩyo ya rũmena na ya waganu, no tũkũngũĩre na mũgate ũtarĩ na ndawa ya kũimbia, o guo mũgate wa wĩhokeku na wa ũhoro wa ma.
9 I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people.
Nĩndĩmwandĩkĩire marũa-inĩ makwa ngamwĩra mũtigage kũgĩaga thiritũ na andũ arĩa ahũũri maraya,
10 In no way did I mean the immoral people of this world, or the greedy, or swindlers, or idolaters, since to stay away from them you would need to go out of the world.
ũguo ti kuuga mweheranĩre na andũ a thĩ ĩno, arĩa ahũũri maraya, kana arĩa akoroku, kana arĩa atunyani, o na kana arĩa ahooi mĩhianano. Mũngĩĩka ũguo-rĩ, no mũkiumire gũkũ thĩ.
11 But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who is called a brother but who is living in sexual immorality, or who is greedy, or is an idolater, or is verbally abusive, or is a drunkard, or a swindler. Do not even eat a meal with such a person.
No rĩu, ndĩramwandĩkĩra nĩguo mũtikagĩe thiritũ na mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ũrĩa wĩĩtaga mũrũ kana mwarĩ wa Ithe witũ, no nĩ mũhũũri maraya, kana nĩ mũkoroku, kana nĩ mũhooi mĩhianano kana nĩ mũndũ wa gũcambania, o na kana nĩ mũrĩĩu wa njoohi kana nĩ mũtunyani. Mũndũ ta ũcio mũtikarĩĩanĩre nake.
12 For how am I involved with judging those who are outside the church? Instead, are you not to judge those who are inside the church?
Ũkĩrĩ wĩra wakwa gũciirithia arĩa matarĩ a kanitha? Githĩ inyuĩ mũtikĩagĩrĩirwo nĩgũciirithia arĩa marĩ a kanitha?
13 But God judges those who are on the outside. “Remove the evil person from among you.”
Ngai nĩwe ũgaaciirithia arĩa marĩ nja. “Ingatai mũndũ ũcio mwaganu oime thĩinĩ wanyu.”
