1 Korintofo 5

1 Nnansa yi wɔkeka se aguaman a morebɔ wɔ asafo no mu no yɛ hu a abosonsomfo mpo renyɛ saa. Mate mpo sɛ obi afa nʼagya yere.

IT is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father’s wife.

2 Na ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na moatumi ahoahoa mo ho? Adɛn nti na ɛnsɛ sɛ mo werɛ how wɔ ho na mompam saa onipa no mfi mo mu?

And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.

3 Ɛwɔ mu, me de, me ne mo ntam kwan ware nanso mewɔ mo nkyɛn wɔ honhom mu. Yɛn Awurade Yesu din mu, mabu onipa a ɔyɛɛ afide yi atɛn dedaw te sɛ nea mewɔ mo nkyɛn ara pɛ.

For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed,

4 Muhyia na meka mo ho wɔ honhom mu a, Awurade Yesu tumi a ɛka yɛn ho no nti,

In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,

5 ɛsɛ sɛ mode saa onipa no ma ɔbonsam na ɔsɛe ne nipadua no na Awurade da no du a, wagye ne honhom nkwa.

To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

6 Ɛnsɛ sɛ mohoahoa mo ho. Munim sɛ mmɔkaw kakraa bi na ɛma mmɔre no tu ana?

Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?

7 Ɛsɛ sɛ muyi saa bɔne mmɔkaw dedaw yi fi mo mu na moayɛ kronkron. Ɛba saa a, mobɛyɛ sɛ mmɔre foforo a mmɔkaw nni mu sɛnea minim mo sɛ mote dedaw no. Afei a wɔde Kristo a ɔyɛ yɛn Twam Guamma no abɔ afɔre no, yɛn Twam Afahyɛ no adu so.

Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:

8 Eyi nti mommma yɛmmfa mmɔkaw dedaw a ɛyɛ bɔne no nni afahyɛ no, na mmom yɛmfa brodo a mmɔkaw nni mu na ɛyɛ kronkron no na enni afahyɛ no.

Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

9 Krataa a mekyerɛw mo no, mekaa wɔ mu se mommfa mo ho mmmɔ nguamanfo ho koraa,

I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:

10 anaa wiase yi nguamanfo anaa aniberefo anaa akorɔmfo anaa wɔn a wɔsom ahoni. Sɛ wompɛ sɛ wo ne eyinom bɔ a, na ɛsɛ sɛ wufi wiase koraa.

Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.

11 Nea mekyerɛ ne sɛ, mommfa mo ho mmmɔ onipa a ɔfrɛ ne ho se onua nanso ɔbɔ aguaman anaa ɔyɛ oniberefo anaa ɔsom ahoni anaa ɔkɔnkɔnsani anaa ɔkɔwensani anaa ɔkorɔmfo. Onipa a ɔte saa no, mo ne no nntena ase nto nsa nnidi.

But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.

12 Adɛn nti na ɛsɛ sɛ mibu wɔn a wɔnka asafo no ho atɛn? Ɛnyɛ wɔn a wɔwɔ asafo no mu mmom na ɛsɛ sɛ mubu wɔn atɛn?

For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?

13 Onyankopɔn na obebu wɔn a wonni asafo no mu atɛn, sɛnea Kyerɛwsɛm no ka se, “Mompam onipa bɔne no mfi mo mu.”

But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
