1 Kolinitō 5

1 ‌ʻOku 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.

I hear reports that sexual immorality is happening among you, immorality that even the foreigners don't practice. A man is living with his father's wife!

2 Pea ʻoku mou anga fakafiefielahi, kae ʻikai te mou mamahi muʻa, koeʻuhi ko ia kuo ne fai ʻae meʻa ni, ke tukuange ia ʻiate kimoutolu.

You are so proud of yourselves! Shouldn't you have wept with sadness, and excluded the man who did this?

3 He 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,

Even though I'm not physically present there, I am there in spirit and just as if I were there I've already made my judgment of the one who has done this.

4 ‌ʻI hoʻomou fakataha ʻi he huafa ʻo hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi, mo hoku laumālie, mo e mālohi ʻa hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi.

When you meet together in the name of the Lord Jesus I'll be there with you in spirit and with the power of our Lord Jesus.

5 Ke tukuange ʻae tokotaha pehē kia Sētane ke maumau ai ʻae sino, kae fakamoʻui ʻae laumālie ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe ʻEiki ko Sisu.

Hand over this man to Satan so his sinful nature may be destroyed and he himself be saved on the day of the Lord.

6 Ko hoʻomou vikiviki ʻoku ʻikai lelei. ʻIkai ʻoku mou ʻilo “Ko e meʻa fakatupu siʻi ʻoku ne fakatupuʻi ʻae takaonga kotoa?”

You shouldn't be proud about this. Don't you know that it only takes a little yeast to make the whole batch of dough rise?

7 Ko 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.

Get rid of this old yeast so that you can be a new batch of dough to make bread without yeast. Christ our Passover lamb has been sacrificed.

8 Ko 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.

So let us celebrate this festival, not with old yeast or the yeast of evil and wickedness, but with the bread made without yeast, the bread of sincerity and truth.

9 Kuo u tohi ʻi he tohi kiate kimoutolu, ke ʻoua naʻa mou fakataha mo e kau feʻauaki:

In my previous letter I wrote that you should not associate with immoral people.

10 Ka 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.

I wasn't referring to the immoral people of this world, those who are greedy and cheat others, or those who worship idols, otherwise you'd have to leave this world!

11 Ka 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.

What I meant when I wrote was that you shouldn't associate with anyone who is called a Christian who is immoral or greedy or worships idols; or who is abusive or a drunkard or who cheats others. Don't even share a meal with anyone like that!

12 He ko hai au ke u fakamaau ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻi tuaʻā? ʻIkai ʻoku mou fakamaau ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻi lotoʻā pe?

It's not my place to judge those outside the church. But shouldn't you judge those who are inside the church?

13 Ka ko kinautolu ʻoku ʻi tuaʻā ʻoku fakamaauʻi ʻe he ʻOtua. Ko ia ke “tukuange ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae tangata angahala ko ia.”

God judges those that are outside the church. “Expel the wicked from among you.”
