1 Abhakorintho 5
1 Tumvyezye inongwa aje muwamo mli wa malaya, mlinumalanya wasanga uleho hata huwantu wa Munsi. Tumvyozye aje umo agona nushi wa udaada wakwe.
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 Namwe mhuitutumla! Badala ya zungumile? Ola yawombile esho ahwanziwa mumwefye awe mwene.
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 Sangatipeka ishibile ishimpepo tilipeka inonjile umwene yawombile isho, aje nahali namwe.
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 Lwamtangama peka hwitawa lya Bwana Yesu nu Umpepo wane ileho epa ingobu izya Bwana Yesu, inonjile umtu oyo.
I have decided – having been present in spirit at your meetings, when the power of the Lord Jesus was with us –
5 Umuntu uyo itwaliye usietano aje ubele gwakwe unanjishe, impepo yakwe iyokolewe isiku ilya Bwana.
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 Amampoli genyu sagahantu hinza. Sagammenye intavu ndondo inanganya idonge lionti?
Your boasting is unseemly. Don’t you know that even a little yeast leavens all the dough?
7 Myonzyaje mwemwe muwene intavu inzimande, aje muvye donge lipya aje muwe lindazi lisagalisapile hua Kristi, Umwana Ngole wetu ishikulukulu awolilwe.
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 Huje twangaje ishikulukulu sagohuutavu imande, intavu imbiwi, ate tishanje ni indazi lisanga liweshelwa intavu wa ishishi ya nalioli.
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 Nahandishi ikalata yane aje msahasangane na amamalaya.
I told you, in my letter, not to associate with immoral people –
10 Sagaiyanga aje awamalaya wa Munsi umo msahakhale nao munsi wawahopa, wawaputa uzimu, indi mwepile munsi.
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 Ane ihumbasimbila aje msahasangane na wawonti ya kwiziwa sahala nendu hwa Yesu alafu malaya yanyonywa, yahopa yaputa uzimu yalinga yaholwa, hatashale msahalye nao umuntu yalio esho.
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 Inzahuwalonje wele wawali honzi yishwanza? Amwe sangamhuwalonga wawali msihi wanza?
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 Eshi Ungolobhe ahuwalonga wawali honze. “Mwefyanji umntu umiwi yali humwenyu”
while God judges those who are outside? Put away the wicked from among you.
