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.

It is reported commonly [that there is] lewdness among you, and such lewdness 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 enti na ɛnsɛ sɛ mo werɛ ho wɔ ho na mompam saa onipa no mfiri mo mu.

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

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

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

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 deliver such one to 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. Monim sɛ, “Mmɔka kakra bi na ɛma mmɔre no tu.”

Your boasting [is] not good. Know ye not, that a little leaven leaveneth 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 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 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.

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

I have written to you in this epistle, not to associate with persons guilty of lewdness:

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.

Yet not altogether with lewd persons of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters: for then ye must needs go 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.

But now I have written to you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother is a lewd person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner: with such person no 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 what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do ye not judge them that are within?

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

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