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 everywhere reported that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not even 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 did not rather mourn, so that he that committed this deed might be separated 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, for my part, though absent in the body, yet present in the spirit have already determined, as if I were present with you, respecting him who thus wrought 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, when you and my spirit with you are assembled together, with the power of our Lord Jesus,

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

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.

Cleanse out the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened; for our passover also hath been sacrificed, even Christ.

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.

So then let us keep the feast, not with the old leaven, nor 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 to you in that letter, not to keep 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.

certainly not meaning the fornicators of this world, or the covetous and extortioners, or idolaters; for to do this ye must 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 this is what I wrote you, not to keep company with any one called a brother, if he be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such a one not even 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 with judging those who are without? Do not ye judge those who 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 those who are without, God will judge. Do ye put away that bad man from among yourselves.
