¹Zvinonzwikwa chose kuti upombwe hwuripo pakati penyu, uye upombwe hwakadaro hwusingataurwi kunyange pakati pevahedheni, hwokuti mumwe ave nemukadzi wababa vake.

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! —

²Asi imwi munozvikudza, uye pachinzvimbo chaizvozvo hamuna kuchema, kuti uyo wakaita chiito ichi abviswe pakati penyu?

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,

³Nekuti ini zvirokwazvo, sendisipo pamuviri, asi ndiripo pamweya, ndatotonga uyo wakaita chiito ichi sendinenge ndiripo,

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:

⁴Muzita raIshe wedu Jesu Kristu, maungana pamwe nemweya wangu nesimba raIshe wedu Jesu Kristu.

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

⁵kukumikidza wakadai kuna Satani kuti nyama yake iparadzwe, kuti mweya uponeswe pazuva raIshe Jesu.

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.

⁶Kuzvikudza kwenyu hakuna kunaka. Hamuzivi here kuti mbiriso shoma inovirisa bundu rose?

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

⁷Naizvozvo bvisai mbiriso yekare, kuti muve bundu idzva, sezvamusina kuviriswa. Nekuti nepasika yedu yakabayirwa isu, iye Kristu;

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,

⁸saka ngatichengetedze mutambo, kwete nembiriso yekare, kana nembiriso yekuipa nekutadza; asi nechingwa chisina kuviriswa chakatendeka nechokwadi.

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.

⁹Ndakakunyorerai mutsamba, kuti musafambidzana nemhombwe;

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

¹⁰asi kwete zvakazara nemhombwe dzenyika ino, kana nevachivi, kana makororo, kana vanonamata zvifananidzo, nekuti kana zvakadaro zvingafanira kuti mubude munyika.

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 —

¹¹Asi ikozvino ndakunyorerai kuti murege kufambidzana, kana munhu achiidzwa hama ari mhombwe, kana muchivi kana munamati wezvifananidzo kana munyombi kana chidhakwa kana gororo; musatongodya newakadai.

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;

¹²Nekuti ini ndinei pakutongawo vari kunze? Imwi hamutongi vari mukati here?

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

¹³Asi avo vari kunze Mwari unovatonga. Naizvozvo bvisai pakati penyu munhu uyo wakaipa.

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