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

¹It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and such sexual immorality as is not even named among the Gentiles, that one has his father’s wife.

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

²You are puffed up, and didn’t rather mourn, that he who had done this deed might be removed from among you.

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፥

³For I most certainly, as being absent in body but present in spirit, have already, as though I were present, judged him who has done this thing.

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

⁴In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, you being gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,

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

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

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

⁶Your boasting is not good. Don’t you know that a little yeast leavens the whole lump?

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

⁷Purge out the old yeast, that you may be a new lump, even as you are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, has been sacrificed in our place.

⁹ከሴሰኞች ጋር እንዳትተባበሩ በመልእክቴ ጻፍሁላችሁ።

⁸Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old yeast, neither with the yeast of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

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

⁹I wrote to you in my letter to have no company with sexual sinners;

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።

¹⁰yet not at all meaning with the sexual sinners of this world, or with the covetous and extortioners, or with idolaters; for then you would have to leave the world.

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

¹¹But as it is, I wrote to you not to associate with anyone who is called a brother who is a sexual sinner, or covetous, or an idolater, or a slanderer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner. Don’t even eat with such a person.

¹³በውጭ ባሉቱ ግን እግዚአብሔር ይፈርድባቸዋል። ክፉውን ከመካከላችሁ አውጡት።

¹²For what have I to do with also judging those who are outside? Don’t you judge those who are within?

¹³But those who are outside, God judges. “Put away the wicked man from among yourselves.” Deuteronomy 17:7; 19:19; 21:21; 22:21; 24:7
