1 Wakorintho 5
1 Ziko habari za kuaminika kwamba kuna uzinzi miongoni mwenu; tena ni uzinzi mbaya ambao haujapata kuwako hata kati ya watu wasiomjua Mungu. Nimeambiwa eti mmoja wenu anaishi na mke wa baba yake!
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 Mnawezaje kujivuna? Ingekuwa afadhali kwenu kuomboleza, na huyo aliyefanya kitu hicho aondolewe miongoni mwenu.
Yet you are puffed up instead of mourning and removing from among you the man who has done this thing.
3 Nami, kwa upande wangu, ingawa kwa mwili niko mbali nanyi, hata hivyo kwa roho niko hapo pamoja nanyi: na hivyo, kama vile nipo hapo, nimekwisha mhukumu huyo aliyefanya jambo hilo la aibu.
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 Wakati mnapokusanyika pamoja kwa jina la Bwana Yesu, nami nikiwa pamoja nanyi kwa roho, basi, kwa uwezo wa Bwana wetu Yesu,
When you are gathered together, and my spirit is with you together with the power of our Lord Jesus,
5 mkabidhini mtu huyo kwa Shetani ili mwili wake uharibiwe na roho yake iweze kuokolewa Siku ile ya Bwana.
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 Majivuno yenu hayafai! Je, hamjui kwamba chachu kidogo huchachusha donge lote la unga?
Your glorying is not good. Do you not know that even a little leaven leavens all the lump?
7 Jitakaseni, mkatupe mbali chachu ya kale ili mpate kuwa donge jipya lisilotiwa chachu kama mnavyopaswa kuwa; maana, Kristo, Pasaka yetu, amekwisha tolewa tambiko.
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 Basi, tufanye karamu hiyo si kwa chachu ile ya kale, chachu ya ubaya na uovu, bali kwa mkate usiotiwa chachu, mkate wa usafi na kweli.
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 Niliwaandikia katika barua yangu msishirikiane na wazinzi.
I told you in my letter not to associate with the immoral.
10 Ukweli ni kwamba sikuwa na maana ya watu wote duniani walio wazinzi, wachoyo, walaghai na wenye kuabudu sanamu. Maana, ili kuwaepa hao wote ingewalazimu ninyi kuihama dunia hii kabisa!
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 Nilichoandika ni hiki: msishirikiane na ndugu Mkristo aliye mzinzi, mchoyo, mwenye kuabudu sanamu, mchongezi mlevi na mlaghai. Mtu wa namna hiyo, hata kula msile naye.
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 Je, ni shauri langu kuwahukumu watu walio nje? Hao Mungu atawahukumu. Je, ninyi hampaswi kuwahukumu wale walio katika jamii yenu ninyi wenyewe?
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 Mfukuzeni mbali nanyi huyo mwovu!
Expel that wicked man from among you.
