1 Koriniti 5

1 Kua paku noa atu te rongo he puremu kei roto i a koutou, he tu puremu kahore nei i roto i nga tauiwi, ara kua riro i tetahi o koutou te wahine a tona papa.

It is actually reported that there is immorality among you, and such immorality as is not even among the heathen - that a man has taken his father’s wife!

2 A e whakapehapeha ana koutou, te pouri koutou, te mea kia tangohia atu i roto i a koutou te tangata nana tenei mahi.

Yet you are puffed up instead of mourning and removing from among you the man who has done this thing.

3 Na ko ahau, ahakoa tawhiti i te tinana kei kona te wairua, kua whakahe noa ake i te tangata nana tenei mahi, i runga i te ingoa o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu, me te mea kei kona ano ahau;

For I, although absent in body, yet present in spirit, have already passed sentence, by the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ, on him who has done this thing.

4 E noho huihui ana koutou me toku wairua, i runga i te kaha o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu.

When you are gathered together, and my spirit is with you together with the power of our Lord Jesus,

5 Ka tuku atu ai i tena tu tangata ki a Hatana, hei whakangaro mo te kikokiko, kia ora ai te wairua i te ra o te Ariki, o Ihu,

I have handed over such a man to Satan for the destruction of his flesh, that his spirit may be saved, in the day of the Lord Jesus.

6 Kahore e pai ta koutou whakapehapeha. Kahore koutou e matau he iti nei te rewena, rewenatia ake te puranga katoa?

Your glorying is not good. Do you not know that even a little leaven leavens all the lump?

7 Kokoa ki waho te rewena tawhito, kia ai koutou he puranga hou, me koutou e rewenakore na. Kua patua hoki mo tatou a te Karaiti, to tatou kapenga:

Then get rid of the old leaven, so that you may be like a new lump, as you are now unleavened. For our Paschal Lamb has already been sacrificed, Christ himself.

8 Na kia kai tatou i te hakari, auaka te rewena tawhito, auaka hoki te rewena o te mauahara, o te kino, engari hei te taro rewenakore o te tinihangakore, o te pono.

So let us keep the unending feast, not with any old leaven, neither with leaven of malice and vice, but with unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

9 I tuhituhi atu ahau ki a koutou i roto i te pukapuka, kia kaua e whakahoa ki nga tangata puremu:

I told you in my letter not to associate with the immoral.

10 Ehara ia i te mea rawa mo te hunga puremu o tenei ao, mo te hunga apo, hao taonga, karakia whakapakoko; penei me haere atu koutou ki waho o te ao:

Not that in this world you were actually to have no contact with the immoral, the avaricious, the thievish, or with idolaters; for then you would have to leave the world, altogether.

11 Engari inaianei ka tuhituhi atu ahau ki a koutou, kia kaua e whakahoa, ki te mea tetahi e kiia nei he teina he tangata moepuku, he apo ranei, e karakia ana ranei ki te whakapakoko, he tangata taunu ranei, he haurangi, he hao taonga ranei; kaua r awa koutou ko taua tu tangata e kai tahi.

But what I wrote was that you were not to associate with any so- called brother who is immoral, or avaricious, or idolatrous, or abusive, or a drunkard, or an extortioner. No, with such persons do not even sit at table.

12 Hei aha ra maku te whakawa i te hunga o waho? e kore koia koutou e whakawa i te hunga o roto,

What have I to do with the judging of outsiders? Must not you judge those who are within the church, while God judges outsiders?

13 A ko te hunga o waho ma te Atua ratou e whakawa? Na motuhia atu taua tangata kino i roto i a koutou.

Expel that wicked man from among you.
