¹Whoredom is actually heard of among you, and such whoredom as is not even named among the nations — as that one hath the wife of the father! —

¹በአጭር ቃል በእናንተ መካከል ዝሙት እንዳለ ይወራል የዚያም ዓይነት ዝሙት በአሕዛብስ እንኳ የማይገኝ ነው፥ የአባቱን ሚስት ያገባ ሰው ይኖራልና።

²and ye are having been puffed up, and did not rather mourn, that he may be removed out of the midst of you who did this work,

²እናንተም ታብያችኋል፤ ይልቅስ እንድታዝኑ አይገባችሁምን? ይህን ሥራ የሠራው ከመካከላችሁ ይወገድ።

³for I indeed, as being absent as to the body, and present as to the spirit, have already judged, as being present, him who so wrought this thing:

³እኔ ምንም እንኳ በሥጋ ከእናንተ ጋር ባልሆን፥ በመንፈስ ከእናንተ ጋር ነኝ፥ ከእናንተም ጋር እንዳለሁ ሆኜ ይህን እንደዚህ በሠራው ላይ በጌታችን በኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ ስም አሁን ፈርጄበታለሁ፤ እናንተና መንፈሴም ከጌታችን ከኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ ኃይል ጋር ተሰብስበን፥

⁴in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ — ye being gathered together, also my spirit — with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,

⁵መንፈሱ በጌታ በኢየሱስ ቀን ትድን ዘንድ እንደዚህ ያለው ለሥጋው ጥፋት ለሰይጣን እንዲሰጥ ፍርዴ ነው።

⁵to deliver up such a one to the Adversary for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

⁶መመካታችሁ መልካም አይደለም። ጥቂት እርሾ ሊጡን ሁሉ እንዲያቦካ አታውቁምን?

⁶Not good [is] your glorying; have ye not known that a little leaven the whole lump doth leaven?

⁷እንግዲህ ያለ እርሾ እንዳላችሁ አዲሱን ሊጥ ትሆኑ ዘንድ አሮጌውን እርሾ አስወግዱ። ፋሲካችን ክርስቶስ ታርዶአልና፤

⁷cleanse out, therefore, the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, according as ye are unleavened, for also our passover for us was sacrificed — Christ,

⁸ስለዚህ በቅንነትና በእውነት ቂጣ በዓልን እናድርግ እንጂ በአሮጌ እርሾ በክፋትና በግፍ እርሾም አይደለም።

⁸so that we may keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of evil and wickedness, but with unleavened food of sincerity and truth.

⁹ከሴሰኞች ጋር እንዳትተባበሩ በመልእክቴ ጻፍሁላችሁ።

⁹I did write to you in the epistle, not to keep company with whoremongers —

¹⁰በጠቅላላው የዚህን ዓለም ሴሰኞችን፥ ወይም ገንዘብን የሚመኙትን ነጣቂዎችንም፥ ወይም ጣዖትን የሚያመልኩትን አላልሁም፤ ይህስ ቢሆን ከዓለም ልትወጡ ይገባችሁ ነበር።

¹⁰and not certainly with the whoremongers of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or idolaters, seeing ye ought then to go forth out of the world —

¹¹አሁን ግን ወንድሞች ከሚባሉት አንዱ ሴሰኛ ወይም ገንዘብን የሚመኝ ወይም ጣዖትን የሚያመልክ ወይም ተሳዳቢ ወይም ሰካር ወይም ነጣቂ ቢሆን ከእርሱ ጋር እንዳትተባበሩ እጽፍላችኋለሁ፤ እንደነዚህ ካለው ጋር መብል እንኳን አትብሉ።

¹¹and now, I did write to you not to keep company with [him], if any one, being named a brother, may be a whoremonger, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner — with such a one not even to eat together;

¹²በውጭ ባሉ ሰዎች ላይ መፍረድ ምን አግዶኝ? በውስጥ ባሉ ሰዎች ላይ እናንተ አትፈርዱምን?

¹²for what have I also those without to judge? those within do ye not judge?

¹³በውጭ ባሉቱ ግን እግዚአብሔር ይፈርድባቸዋል። ክፉውን ከመካከላችሁ አውጡት።

¹³and those without God doth judge; and put ye away the evil from among yourselves.
