1 Corinthians 5 – NIRV & NEN

New International Reader’s Version

1 Corinthians 5:1-13

Throw Out the Evil Person!

1It is actually reported that there is sexual sin among you. I’m told that a man is sleeping with his father’s wife. Even people who don’t know God don’t let that kind of sin continue. 2And you are proud! Shouldn’t you be very sad instead? Shouldn’t you have thrown out of your church the man doing this? 3Even though I am not right there with you, I am with you in spirit. And because I am with you in spirit, I have already judged the man doing this. I have judged him in the name of our Lord Jesus. 4So when you come together, I will be with you in spirit. The power of our Lord Jesus will also be with you. 5When you come together like this, hand this man over to Satan. Then the power of sin in his life will be destroyed. His spirit will be saved on the day the Lord returns.

6Your bragging is not good. It is like yeast. Don’t you know that just a little yeast makes the whole batch of dough rise? 7Get rid of the old yeast. Then you can be like a new batch of dough without yeast. That is what you really are. That’s because Christ, our Passover Lamb, has been offered up for us. 8So let us keep the Feast, but not with the old bread made with yeast. The yeast I’m talking about is hatred and evil. Let us keep the Feast with bread made without yeast. Let us keep it with bread that is honesty and truth.

9I wrote a letter to you to tell you to stay away from people who commit sexual sins. 10I didn’t mean the people of this world who sin in this way. I didn’t mean those who always want more and more. I didn’t mean those who cheat or who worship statues of gods. In that case you would have to leave this world! 11But here is what I am writing to you now. You must stay away from anyone who claims to be a believer but does evil things. Stay away from anyone who commits sexual sins. Stay away from anyone who always wants more and more things. Stay away from anyone who worships statues of gods. Stay away from anyone who tells lies about others. Stay away from anyone who gets drunk or who cheats. Don’t even eat with people like these.

12Is it my business to judge those outside the church? Aren’t you supposed to judge those inside the church? 13God will judge those outside. Scripture says, “Get rid of that evil person!” (Deuteronomy 17:7; 19:19; 21:21; 22:21,24; 24:7)

1 Wakorintho 5:1-13

Mwasherati Atengwe

15:1 Law 18:8; Kum 22:30; 27:20Yamkini habari imeenea ya kuwa miongoni mwenu kuna uzinzi ambao haujatokea hata miongoni mwa watu wasiomjua Mungu: Kwamba mtu anaishi na mke wa baba yake. 25:2 2Kor 7:7-11Nanyi mwajivuna! Je, haiwapasi kuhuzunika na kumtenga na ushirika wenu mtu huyo aliyefanya mambo hayo? 35:3 Kol 2:5; 1The 2:17Hata kama siko pamoja nanyi katika mwili, niko nanyi katika roho. Nami nimekwisha kumhukumu mtu huyo aliyetenda jambo hili, kama vile ningekuwepo. 45:4 2The 3:6Mnapokutana katika Jina la Bwana wetu Yesu nami nikiwepo pamoja nanyi katika roho na uweza wa Bwana Yesu ukiwepo, 55:5 1Tim 1:20; Mt 4:10; 1Kor 1:8mkabidhini mtu huyu kwa Shetani, ili mwili wake uharibiwe, ili roho yake iokolewe katika siku ya Bwana.

65:6 Yak 4:16; Mt 16:6-12; Gal 5:6Majivuno yenu si mazuri. Je, hamjui ya kwamba chachu kidogo huchachusha donge zima la unga? 75:7 Kut 12:3-21; Mk 14:12; 1Pet 1:19Ondoeni chachu ya kale ili mpate kuwa donge jipya lisilotiwa chachu, kama vile mlivyo. Kwa maana Kristo, Mwana-Kondoo wetu wa Pasaka amekwisha tolewa kuwa dhabihu. 85:8 Law 18:8; Kum 22:30; 27:20Kwa hiyo, tusiiadhimishe sikukuu hii, kwa chachu ya zamani, chachu ya nia mbaya na uovu, bali kwa mkate usiotiwa chachu, ndio weupe wa moyo na kweli.

95:9 Kut 12:45; Kum 16:3Niliwaandikia katika waraka wangu kuwa msishirikiane na wazinzi. 105:10 Efe 5:11; 2The 3:6-14Sina maana kwamba msishirikiane na wazinzi wa ulimwengu huu, au wenye tamaa mbaya, wanyangʼanyi au waabudu sanamu. Kwa kufanya hivyo ingewalazimu mtoke ulimwenguni humu. 115:11 1Kor 10:27Lakini sasa nawaandikia kwamba msishirikiane na mtu yeyote anayejiita ndugu, hali akiwa ni mzinzi, au mwenye tamaa mbaya, mwabudu sanamu au msingiziaji, mlevi au mdhalimu. Mtu kama huyo hata msile naye.

125:12 Rum 7:1; 1Kor 10:7-14; Rum 16:17Yanihusu nini kuwahukumu wale watu walio nje ya kanisa? Je, si mnapaswa kuwahukumu hao walio ndani? 135:13 Mk 4:11; 1Kor 6:14; Kum 13:5; 17:7; 19:19; 22:21; 24; 24:7; Amu 20:13Mungu atawahukumu hao walio nje. “Ninyi mwondoeni huyo mtu mwovu miongoni mwenu.”
