1 Korintofoɔ 5

1 Nnansa yi, wɔkeka sɛ adwaman a morebɔ wɔ asafo no mu no yɛ hu a abosonsomfoɔ mpo renyɛ saa. Mate mpo sɛ obi afa nʼagya yere.

Fornication is truly heard of among you, and such fornication which is not among the heathens, that one should have the wife of his father.

2 Na ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na moatumi ahoahoa mo ho? Adɛn enti na ɛnsɛ sɛ mo werɛ ho wɔ ho na mompam saa onipa no mfiri mo mu.

And have you been inflated, and have not rather mourned, that the one having done this work may be taken from your midst?

3 Ɛwom sɛ me deɛ, me ne mo ntam ɛkwan ware, nanso, mewɔ mo nkyɛn honhom mu. Yɛn Awurade Yesu din mu, mabu onipa a ɔyɛɛ afideɛ yi atɛn dada te sɛ deɛ mewɔ mo nkyɛn ara pɛ.

For indeed I, being absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged the one having thus done this, as being present,

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

in the name of the Lord Jesus, you and my spirit being assembled, with the power of the Lord Jesus,

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

to turn over such a one to Satan for the destruction of carnality, in order that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

6 Ɛnsɛ sɛ mohoahoa mo ho. Monim sɛ, “Mmɔka kakra bi na ɛma mmɔre no tu.”

Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump?

7 Ɛsɛ sɛ moyi saa bɔne mmɔreka dada yi firi mo mu na moayɛ kronn. Ɛba saa a, mobɛyɛ sɛ mmɔre foforɔ a mmɔreka nni mu sɛdeɛ menim mo sɛ mote dada no. Afei a wɔde Kristo a ɔyɛ yɛn Twam Afahyɛ Odwan no abɔ afɔdeɛ no, yɛn Twam Afahyɛ no aduru so.

Cleanse away the old leaven, in order that you may be a new lump, as you are free from leaven; for Christ has truly become our Passover.

8 Yei enti, mommma yɛmmfa mmɔreka dada a ɛyɛ bɔne no nni afahyɛ no, na mmom, yɛmfa burodo a mmɔreka nni mu na ɛyɛ kronn no nni afahyɛ no.

So let us feast, not on the old leaven, nor on the leaven of sin and iniquity, but on the unleavened bread of purity and truth.

9 Krataa a metwerɛɛ mo no, mekaa wɔ mu sɛ mommfa mo ho mmɔ adwamanfoɔ ho.

I have written unto you in a letter to have no fellowship with fornicators;

10 Menkyerɛ ewiase yi adwamanfoɔ anaa aniberefoɔ anaa akorɔmfoɔ anaa wɔn a wɔsom ahoni. Sɛ wompɛ sɛ wo ne yeinom bɔ a, na ɛsɛ sɛ wofiri ewiase koraa.

not at all with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous and the extortioners, or with the idolators; since you ought therefore to come out of the world.

11 Deɛ mekyerɛ ne sɛ, mommfa mo ho mmɔ onipa a ɔfrɛ ne ho sɛ onua nanso ɔbɔ adwaman anaa ɔyɛ oniberefoɔ anaa ɔsom ahoni anaa ɔkɔnkɔnsani anaa ɔkɔwensani anaa ɔkorɔmfoɔ. Onipa a ɔte saa no, mo ne no nntena ase nto nsa nnidi.

For now I have written unto you not to keep company with him, if any one denominated a brother may be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a scold, or drunken, or an extortioner; with such a one not to eat.

12 Adɛn enti na ɛsɛ sɛ mebu wɔn a wɔnka asafo no ho atɛn? Ɛnyɛ wɔn a wɔwɔ asafo no mu mmom na ɛsɛ sɛ mobu wɔn atɛn?

For why is it for me to judge the outsiders? Do you not judge those within? But God will judge those without.

13 Onyankopɔn na ɔbɛbu wɔn a wɔnni asafo no mu atɛn, sɛdeɛ Atwerɛsɛm no ka sɛ, “Monyi onipa ɔbɔnefoɔ no mfiri mo mu.”

Take away the wicked person from you, yourselves.
