1 Ndị Kọrint 5
1 Ọ bụ akụkọ doro anya na-enwe ịkwa iko nʼetiti unu, ụdị nke ndị na-ekweghị ekwe na-apụghị ime, ka unu na-eme. Otu onye nʼime ụlọ unu kpọọrọ nwunye nna ya, ha abụọ e biri.
I hear reports that sexual immorality is happening among you, immorality that even the foreigners don't practice. A man is living with his father's wife!
2 Ma unu na-akpa nganga? Ihe unu kwesiri ime ọ bụghị ịkwa akwa na iru ụjụ, na ime ka onye mere ihe dị otu a si nʼọgbakọ unu pụọ?
You are so proud of yourselves! Shouldn't you have wept with sadness, and excluded the man who did this?
3 Ọ bụ ezie na mụ na unu anọghị ugbu a, ma mụ na unu nọkwa nʼime mmụọ. Amaala m rịị onye ahụ ikpe dịka a ga-asị na mụ na unu nọ.
Even though I'm not physically present there, I am there in spirit and just as if I were there I've already made my judgment of the one who has done this.
4 Eji m aha Onyenwe anyị ma ya ikpe. Mgbe unu zukọrọ, aga m anọnyere unu na mmụọ. Nʼoge ahụ, site nʼike Onyenwe anyị Jisọs,
When you meet together in the name of the Lord Jesus I'll be there with you in spirit and with the power of our Lord Jesus.
5 werenụ nwoke a nyefee nʼaka ekwensu, ka ọ taa anụ ahụ ya ahụhụ, ka e nwee ike ịzọpụta mmụọ ya, mgbe Onyenwe anyị lọghachiri.
Hand over this man to Satan so his sinful nature may be destroyed and he himself be saved on the day of the Lord.
6 Ịnya isi unu ezighị ezi. Ọ bụ unu amaghị na nwantakịrị yiist a gwakọrọ nʼụtụ ọka na-eme ka o koo?
You shouldn't be proud about this. Don't you know that it only takes a little yeast to make the whole batch of dough rise?
7 Wepụnụ ihe nʼeko achịcha a nọ nʼetiti unu, ka unu bụrụ ndị dị ọhụrụ, na ndị dị ọcha. Nʼihi na a chụọlarị Kraịst, bụ aja nwa atụrụ, nke Ngabiga anyị.
Get rid of this old yeast so that you can be a new batch of dough to make bread without yeast. Christ our Passover lamb has been sacrificed.
8 Nʼihi ya ka anyị mee mmemme a na-ejighị ihe na-eko achịcha nke bụ ihe ọjọọ na obi ọjọọ, kama ka anyị jiri achịcha na-ekoghị eko nke bụ obi ọcha na eziokwu.
So let us celebrate this festival, not with old yeast or the yeast of evil and wickedness, but with the bread made without yeast, the bread of sincerity and truth.
9 E dere m unu nʼime akwụkwọ ozi m, ka unu na ndị na-akwa iko ghara inwe mmekọ ọbụla.
In my previous letter I wrote that you should not associate with immoral people.
10 Ọ bụghị ihe gbasara ndị nke ụwa ndị na-akwa iko, maọbụ ndị anya ukwu, na ndị na-apụnara mmadụ ihe, maọbụ ndị na-ekpere arụsị. Ọ bụrụ otu a, ọ pụtara na unu ga-esi nʼụwa pụọ.
I wasn't referring to the immoral people of this world, those who are greedy and cheat others, or those who worship idols, otherwise you'd have to leave this world!
11 Ma ugbu a, a na m edere unu ka unu na onye ọbụla nke na-akpọ onwe ya nwanna nwoke maọbụ nwanna nwanyị ghara imekọ ihe, ma ọ bụrụ na ọ na-ebi ndụ ịkwa iko, maọbụ nwee anya ukwu, maọbụ na-ekpere arụsị, onye na-ekwutọ ibe ya, onye na-aṅụbiga mmanya oke, maọbụ onye na-apụnara mmadụ ihe. Unu na ndị dị otu a erikọla nri.
What I meant when I wrote was that you shouldn't associate with anyone who is called a Christian who is immoral or greedy or worships idols; or who is abusive or a drunkard or who cheats others. Don't even share a meal with anyone like that!
12 Kedụ nke gbasara m ikpe ndị na-esoghị na chọọchị ikpe? Ọ bụghị ndị nọ nʼime ka unu ga-ekpe ikpe.
It's not my place to judge those outside the church. But shouldn't you judge those who are inside the church?
13 Chineke ga-ekpe ndị nọ nʼezi ikpe. “Chụpụnụ onye ajọọ mmadụ ahụ site nʼetiti unu.”
God judges those that are outside the church. “Expel the wicked from among you.”
