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 commonly reported that there is lewdness among you, and such lewdness as is not named even amongst the heathens, 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 are ye puffed up, and have not rather grieved? that he who hath committed this fact might be expelled 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 indeed, absent in body, but present in spirit, have already, as if I were present, judged him who hath wrought this wickedness: in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,

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

when ye are assembled together with my spirit, by the power, I say,

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

of our Lord Jesus Christ, to deliver such a one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. Your boasting is not good.

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

Do ye not know that a little leaven leaveneth the whole mass?

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 mass, without leaven. For our paschal lamb, even Christ, was slain 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.

Wherefore let us keep the feast, not with the old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavening 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 an epistle, not to associate with whoremongers:

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.

but I did not mean not at all with the whoremongers of this world, or the covetous, or rapacious, or idolaters: since ye must then 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 to you, not to associate with him, if any one, that is called a brother, be a whoremonger, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or rapacious; with such a 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 those that are without? and do not ye judge those 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 those who are without, God judgeth: and therefore put away the wicked one from among you.
