1 Korintiyawa 5

1 Ana ba da labari cewa ana lalata a cikinku, irin da ba a ma samu a cikin masu bautar gumaka. Har mutum yana kwana da matar mahaifinsa.

[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).

2 Har ya zama muku abin taƙama! Ashe, bai kamata ku cika da baƙin ciki ku kuma daina zumunci da mutumin da yake aikata wannan ba?

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]

3 Ko da yake ba na nan tare da ku cikin jiki, ina tare da ku a cikin ruhu. Na riga na yanke wa wanda ya aikata wannan hukunci, kamar dai ina tare da ku.

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.

4 Saboda haka sa’ad da kun taru ikon Ubangijinmu Yesu kuma yana nan, ni ma ina tare da ku.

[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],

5 Ku miƙa irin wannan mutum ga Shaiɗan, don a hallaka halin nan na mutuntaka, ruhunsa kuma yă sami ceto a ranar da Ubangiji zai dawo.

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].

6 Ku daina taƙama. Ba ku san cewa ɗan ƙanƙanin yisti ne yakan sa dukan curin burodi yă kumbura ba?

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].

7 Ku kawar da tsohon yisti don ku zama kamar sabon curi da aka yi babu yisti yadda dai kuke. Gama an miƙa Kiristi Ɗan Ragon Bikin Ƙetarewarmu.

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].

8 Saboda haka, sai mu kiyaye Bikin ba da burodi mai tsohon yisti ba, ba kuma da yisti na ƙeta da mugunta ba, sai dai da burodi marar yisti na sahihanci da na gaskiya.

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.

9 Na rubuta muku cikin wasiƙata, kada ku yi haɗa kai da masu aikin lalata.

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

10 Ko kusa, ba na nufin fasikai marasa bi, ko makwaɗaita da mazambata, ko matsafa, don in haka ne, sai yă zama dole ku fita daga duniya.

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.

11 Yanzu dai ina rubuta muku cewa kada ku haɗa kai da duk mai kiran kansa ɗan’uwa, amma yana fasikanci, ko kwaɗayi, ko bautar gumaka, ko ɓata suna, ko mashayi, ko mazambaci. Kada ku ko ci abinci da irin wannan mutum.

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!

12 Me zai kai yin hukunci ga waɗanda ba’yan ikkilisiya ba. Ai, waɗanda suke’yan ikkilisiya ne za ku hukunta.

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]!

13 Allah zai hukunta waɗanda ba namu ba. “Ku yi waje da irin mugun mutumin nan daga cikinku.”

God is the one who will judge those who are not believers. [Do as the Scriptures command]: “Expel the wicked person from your midst!”
