1 Vakolinto 5
1 Kuvi malovi ga chakaka kuvya pagati yinu kuvi ukemi uhakau, wangahumalila hati pagati ya vandu vangammanya Chapanga. Nijoviwi kuvya mmonga winu itama na mdala wa dadi waki!
There is a wide-spread report respecting a case of immorality among you, and that, too, of a kind that does not occur even among the Gentiles — a man, I hear, is living with his father’s wife!
2 Muhotola wuli kumeka? Ngayivyai mbanga kuyupilisa, na mwenuyo mweikita chindu icho awusiwayi pagati msambi winu.
Instead of grieving over it and taking steps for the expulsion of the man who has done this thing, is it possible that you are still puffed up?
3 Na nene kwa upandi wangu, kwa higa nivii patali na nyenye, nambu kwa mpungu nivii pamonga na nyenye. Ndi nivii bahapo, nimali kumuhamula mundu yula mweakitili lijambu lenilo la soni.
For I myself, though absent in body, have been present with you in spirit, and in the name of our Lord Jesus I have already passed judgment, just as if I had been present, upon the man who has acted in this way.
4 Pamkonganeka pamonga kwa liina la BAMBU Yesu, nene nivii na nyenye kwa mpungu, hinu kwa makakala ga BAMBU witu Yesu uvi apo,
I have decided — having been present in spirit at your meetings, when the power of the Lord Jesus was with us —
5 mumgotola mundu uyo kwa Setani muni higa yaki yihalabiswai na mpungu waki usanguliwayi ligono lila la BAMBU.
to deliver such a man as this over to Satan, that what is sensual in him may be destroyed, so that his spirit may be saved at the Day of the Lord.
6 Kawaka chindu cha kumekela, wu, mmanyi lepi ngemeku lidebe livavisa libulungutu loha la uhembe?
Your boasting is unseemly. Do not you know that even a little leaven leavens all the dough?
7 Mujinyambisayi, muni muwusai ngemeku ya kadeni la kumbudila Chapanga, ndi muvyai na libulungutu la mupya langasopewa ngemeku ngati chamwiganikiwa kuvya. Muni Kilisitu awusiwayi luteta ndava yitu ngati mwanalimbelele wa Pasaka.
Get rid entirely of the old leaven, so that you may be like new dough — free from leaven, as in truth you are. For our Passover Lamb is already sacrificed — Christ himself;
8 Ndava yeniyo, tiiselebukila mselebuko wa Pasaka changali kutumila mabumunda gegasopiwi ngemeku, ndi kujova changali kumbudila Chapanga na uhakau, nambu titumila libumunda langali ngemeku ndi kujova ubwina na chakaka.
therefore let us keep our festival, not with the leaven of former days, nor with the leaven of vice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
9 Navayandikili mubalua yangu mkoto kuhanganilana na vakemi.
I told you, in my letter, not to associate with immoral people —
10 Uchakaka ndi kuvya najovili lepi mkoto kuhanganila na vandu voha pamulima nambu vandu vevavi vakemi vanotanu na vadese na vevakumuyupa chimong'omong'o. Muni muvayepa voha venavo yavaganili nyenye kuwuka pamulima uwu nganila!
not, of course, meaning men of the world who are in immoral, or who are covetous and grasping, or who worship idols; for then you would have to leave the world altogether.
11 Nambu hinu nikuvayandikila kuvya mkoto kuhanganila na mlongo mkilisitu mweavimkemi na mweavi na mnogu uhakau na mnotani na mweiyupa chimong'omong'o na mweiliga na mweigala na mdese na mnyagaji. Mundu ngati mwenuyo hati kulya mkoto kulya nayu.
But, as things are, I say that you are not to associate with any one who, although a Brother in name, is immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or abusive, or a drunkard, or grasping — no, not even to sit at table with such people.
12 Hinu, lepi lihengu langu kuvahukukumu vala vevavi kuvala ya msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu. Nambu Chapanga ndi mweakuvahamula. Nyenye muganikiwa kuvahamula vandu vevavi msambi winu?
What have I to do with judging those outside the Church? Is it not for you to judge those who are within the Church,
13 Mayandiki Gamsopi gijova, mumvingayi kutali mundu muhakau uyo!
while God judges those who are outside? ‘Put away the wicked man from among you.’
