1ʻOku fakaongo lahi mai ʻoku ai ʻae feʻauaki ʻiate kimoutolu, pea ko e feʻauaki pehē ʻoku ʻikai siʻi lau ki ai ʻi he kakai Senitaile, ʻo pehē ke maʻu ʻe ha taha ʻae uaifi ʻo ʻene tamai.
1It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that is intolerable even among pagans: A man has his father’s wife.
2Pea ʻoku mou anga fakafiefielahi, kae ʻikai te mou mamahi muʻa, koeʻuhi ko ia kuo ne fai ʻae meʻa ni, ke tukuange ia ʻiate kimoutolu.
2And you are proud! Shouldn’t you rather have been stricken with grief and have removed from your fellowship the man who did this?
3He ko e moʻoni, ko au ʻoku ou mamaʻo ʻi he sino, ka ʻoku ou ʻi ai ʻi he laumālie, kuo u fakamaauʻi ʻaia naʻe fai ʻae ngāue ni, ʻo hangē kuo u ʻi ai,
3Although I am absent from you in body, I am present with you in spirit, and I have already pronounced judgment on the one who did this, just as if I were present.
4ʻI hoʻomou fakataha ʻi he huafa ʻo hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi, mo hoku laumālie, mo e mālohi ʻa hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi.
4When you are assembled in the name of our Lord Jesus and I am with you in spirit, along with the power of the Lord Jesus,
5Ke tukuange ʻae tokotaha pehē kia Sētane ke maumau ai ʻae sino, kae fakamoʻui ʻae laumālie ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe ʻEiki ko Sisu.
5hand this man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved on the Day of the Lord.
6Ko hoʻomou vikiviki ʻoku ʻikai lelei. ʻIkai ʻoku mou ʻilo “Ko e meʻa fakatupu siʻi ʻoku ne fakatupuʻi ʻae takaonga kotoa?”
6Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven works through the whole batch of dough?
7Ko ia ke tafi kituʻa ʻae meʻa fakatupu motuʻa, koeʻuhi ʻi he ʻikai ha meʻa fakatupu ʻiate kimoutolu, ke mou hoko ko e takaonga foʻou. He ko Kalaisi ko ho tau feilaulau ʻoe Lakaatu, kuo hifo ʻaki maʻatautolu.
7Get rid of the old leaven, that you may be a new unleavened batch, as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.
8Ko ia ke tau fai ʻae kātoanga, kae ʻikai ʻi he meʻa fakatupu motuʻa, pe ʻi he ʻi meʻa fakatupu ʻoe fakafasifasi mo e angahala; ka ʻi he mā taʻemeʻafakatupu ʻoe angatonu mo e moʻoni.
8Therefore let us keep the feast, not with the old bread, leavened with malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and of truth.
9Kuo u tohi ʻi he tohi kiate kimoutolu, ke ʻoua naʻa mou fakataha mo e kau feʻauaki:
9I wrote you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people.
10Ka ʻoku ʻikai ko e pehē pe, ki he kau feʻauaki ʻoe māmani, pe ko e kau manumanu, pe ko e kau fakamālohi, pe ko e kau tauhi tamapua; he ka ne pehē, tā te mou ʻalu pe ʻi he māmani.
10I was not including the sexually immoral of this world, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world.
11Ka kuo u tohi eni kiate kimoutolu, ka ai ha taha ʻoku ui ko e kāinga, ka ʻoku feʻauaki, pe manumanu, pe tauhi tamapua, pe ko e manuki, pe ko e kona, pe ko e fakamālohi; ʻoua naʻa fakataha mo ha taha pehē, pea ʻoua naʻa kai mo ia.
11But now I am writing you not to associate with anyone who claims to be a brother but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a verbal abuser, a drunkard or a swindler. With such a man do not even eat.
12He ko hai au ke u fakamaau ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻi tuaʻā? ʻIkai ʻoku mou fakamaau ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻi lotoʻā pe?
12What business of mine is it to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside?
13Ka ko kinautolu ʻoku ʻi tuaʻā ʻoku fakamaauʻi ʻe he ʻOtua. Ko ia ke “tukuange ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae tangata angahala ko ia.”
13God will judge those outside. “Expel the wicked man from among you.”
