Korintotɔwo 1 5

1 Busunya si dzɔ le mia dome lae nye be miele ahasi wɔm. Nya sia ɖi hoo, eye ame sia ame le nu ƒom le eŋu. Nu sia nye busunu ale gbegbe, elabena medzɔna le trɔ̃subɔlawo gɔ̃ hã dome o.

There is a wide-spread report respecting a case of immorality among you, and that, too, of a kind that does not occur even among the Gentiles — a man, I hear, is living with his father’s wife!

2 Ke esi nu sia ƒomevi le edzi yim le mia dome la, ɖe miegale mia ɖokuiwo bum be yewode ŋgɔ le gbɔgbɔ mea? Ɖe wòle be mialé blanui afa konyi ŋukpetɔe eye miaɖe ame sia le hamea me enumake!

Instead of grieving over it and taking steps for the expulsion of the man who has done this thing, is it possible that you are still puffed up?

3 Togbɔ be nyemele mia gbɔ le afi ma o hã la, mele mia gbɔ le gbɔgbɔ me. Mebua ta me vevie le nu sia ŋu eye le Aƒetɔ Yesu ƒe ŋkɔ me la, meɖo kpe nu si wòle be miawɔ la dzi abe ɖe mele mia dome ene.

For I myself, though absent in body, have been present with you in spirit, and in the name of our Lord Jesus I have already passed judgment, just as if I had been present, upon the man who has acted in this way.

4 Miyɔ Hametakpekpe gã eye miaɖe ame sia ɖa le hamea me. Aƒetɔ Yesu ƒe ŋusẽ kple nye gbɔgbɔ anɔ mia dome le takpekpea me.

I have decided — having been present in spirit at your meetings, when the power of the Lord Jesus was with us —

5 Minya ame sia tsɔ de asi na Satana be wòahe to nɛ vie le ŋutilã me, ale be to esia me la, ɖewohĩ eƒe luʋɔ akpɔ ɖeɖe ne Aƒetɔ Yesu gatrɔ va.

to deliver such a man as this over to Satan, that what is sensual in him may be destroyed, so that his spirit may be saved at the Day of the Lord.

6 Enye nublanui ŋutɔ be, togbɔ be nu dziŋɔ sia le edzi yim le mia dome hã la, miegale mia ɖokuiwo bum ame kɔkɔewoe. Mienyae be, “Deku ɖekae gblẽa bubuawo katã oa?” Eye ne mieɖe mɔ be ame ɖeka nawɔ nu vɔ̃ sia ɖe, magblẽ nu le ame bubuwo hã ŋu oa?

Your boasting is unseemly. Do not you know that even a little leaven leavens all the dough?

7 Miɖe ame vɔ̃ɖi sia ɖa le mia dome, bena miaƒe ŋkɔ nagagblẽ o, eye mianɔ dzadzɛe. Miɖo ŋku edzi be wowu Kristo, ame si nye Mawu ƒe Alẽvi la, abe ŋutitotoŋkekenyui ƒe vɔsalẽvi ene na mí.

Get rid entirely of the old leaven, so that you may be like new dough — free from leaven, as in truth you are. For our Passover Lamb is already sacrificed — Christ himself;

8 Eya ta mina míaɖu nu, ano nu le Kristo me be míatsi nyuie le kristotɔ ƒe agbenɔnɔ me, eye míaɖe asi le agbe vlo siwo míenɔna tsã la ŋu, adzudzɔ fuléle kple tamesesẽ, ke boŋ mina be bubu, nyateƒetoto kple nu si le eteƒe la wɔwɔ nanye míaƒe gbe sia gbe nuɖuɖu kple nunono.

therefore let us keep our festival, not with the leaven of former days, nor with the leaven of vice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

9 Le nye agbalẽ si meŋlɔ na mi do ŋgɔ me la, megblɔ na mi be migade ha kple ahasiwɔlawo o.

I told you, in my letter, not to associate with immoral people —

10 Ke menye dzimaxɔsetɔ siwo nye ahasiwɔlawo, ŋubiãlawo, fiafitɔwo kple legbasubɔlawo la mewɔnɛ o. Zi ale si miele xexea me ko la, miate ŋu aɖe mia ɖokuiwo ɖe aga le ame siawo gbɔ o.

not, of course, meaning men of the world who are in immoral, or who are covetous and grasping, or who worship idols; for then you would have to leave the world altogether.

11 Nu si mewɔnɛ lae nye be migade ha kple ame siwo le wo ɖokuiwo yɔm be kristotɔwo, gake woganye ahasiwɔlawo, ŋubiãlawo, amebalawo, legbasubɔlawo, ahanomunɔwo kple dzrewɔlawo o. Migaɖu nu kple ame siawo ƒomevi gɔ̃ hã o.

But, as things are, I say that you are not to associate with any one who, although a Brother in name, is immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or abusive, or a drunkard, or grasping — no, not even to sit at table with such people.

12 Menye míaƒe dɔ wònye be míadrɔ̃ ʋɔnu ame siwo menye hametɔwo alo kristotɔwo o, gake enye míaƒe dɔdeasi vevi aɖe be míadrɔ̃ ʋɔnu hametɔwo, aka mo na wo, eye míahe to na ame siwo le nu vɔ̃ɖi wɔm.

What have I to do with judging those outside the Church? Is it not for you to judge those who are within the Church,

13 Mawu ŋutɔ koe adrɔ̃ ʋɔnu ame siwo mele kristoha la me o. “Ke ele be miawo ŋutɔ miakpɔ nya sia gbɔ, eye miaɖe ame sia ɖa le hamea me kokoko.”

while God judges those who are outside? ‘Put away the wicked man from among you.’
