1 Bhakolinto 5
1 Jipali ngani jishumile kuti munkumbi gwenunji kushipagwa labhalabha, kabhili kwene labhalabhako kukanabhe pagwa nkali kubhandu bhakakwaamanyanga a Nnungu. Njilugulilwa kuti mundu ashikwaatola bhakongwe bha ainagwe!
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 Na mmanganya nnakwiipunanga, mbaya nkainjikenje nikumminga munkumbi gwenunji atendile yeneyojo.
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 Nkali nili kwataliya na mmanganya, ntima gwangu puguli pamo na mmanganya, mbuti namwene nili popo, bhai ninng'ukumwile kwa mashili ga lina a Yeshu atendile yangali ya mmbonejo.
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, on the man who has acted in this way.
4 Malanga gunkuimananga pamo kwa lina lya Bhakulungwa a Yeshu, na ntima gwangu puukubha na mmanganyanji, bhai, kwa mashili ga Bhakulungwa bhetu a Yeshu,
I have decided – having been present in spirit at your meetings, when the power of the Lord Jesus was with us –
5 munshoyanje jwene mundujo na munkamuyanje kuka Lishetani, nkupinga shiilu shakwe sha ilebho shiangabhanywe na nnyene atapulwe lyubha lishibhaishe Bhakulungwa.
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 Kwiipuna kwenunji kukapwaa! Bhuli, nkakwiimanyanga kuti ngedule jishoko jinaumuya lidonji lyowe lya utandi? Na yalakwe yambi pwikujenela nneyo peyo.
Your boasting is unseemly. Don’t you know that even a little yeast leavens all the dough?
7 Mwitakayanje, nkajaanje ngedule yani yambi ya bhukala ila, nkupinga mmanganje mwangalinginji yambi, pabha a Kilishitu bhali Pashaka jetu bhashishoywa kubha mbepei.
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 Bhai, tulye Pashaka jetu jangali ngedule ja bhukala yani indu yangali ya mmbone na ya nyata, ikabhe kwa nkate gwangataga ngedule, yani kwa indu ya mmbone na ya kweli.
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 Nannjandishilenje mmaluwa jangu kuti nnakundikananje na bhandunji bha labhalabha.
I told you, in my letter, not to associate with immoral people –
10 Ngabheleketa kuti nnakundikananje na bha labhalabha na bha shienga na bha unami na bha kulupalilanga yanamu. Pabha nkupinga kwaabhutukanga bhowebho, nkapinjikwenje kushoka pa shilambolyo pano.
not, of course, meaning people 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 Shinannjandishilenje ni kuti, nnakundikananje naka mundu akwiishema Nkilishitu, alabhalabha na akwete shienga, na akwiitindibhalila yanamu, na atukana bhandu, na akolelwa ukana na apokonyola indu. Na kupunda penepo, nnakundanje nkali kutama nilyanajo shalya mundu jwa nneyo.
But, as things are, I say that you are not to associate with anyone who, although a follower of Christ in name, is immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or abusive, or a drunkard, or grasping – no, not even to sit down to eat with such people.
12 Bhai, nngabha gangu nne kumaliya malobhe ga bhandu bhalinginji nngabha Bhakilishitu. Pabha a Nnungu shibhamaliye. Numbe mmanganya nkapinjikwanga kumaliya malobhe ga bhalinginji munkumbi gwenunji?
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 Ikabheje bhalinginji nngabha Bhakilishitubho a Nnungu shibhaukumule, mmanganya mumminganje munkumbi gwenunji, jwangali jwa mmbonejo!
while God judges those who are outside? Put away the wicked from among you.
