1 I t 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.

وَأنا أسمَعُ أنَّ بَينَكُمْ زِنَىً يَفُوقُ ما هُوَ مَعرُوفٌ حَتَّى بَينَ غَيرِ المُؤمِنِينَ! أقْصِدُ بِهَذا ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلَ الَّذِي يُعاشِرُ زَوجَةَ أبِيهِ!

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

وَمَعَ هَذا فَأنتُمْ مُنتَفِخُونَ بِالكِبرِياءِ! أما كانَ يَجدُرُ بِكُمْ أنْ تَحزَنُوا بِسَبَبِ ذَلِكَ؟ كانَ عَلَيكُمْ أنْ تَطرُدُوا مَنْ يُقُومُ بِذَلِكَ مِنْ بَينِكُمْ.

3 F or 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.

صَحِيحٌ أنِّي غائِبٌ عَنكُمْ فِي الجَسَدِ، لَكِنِّي حاضِرٌ بِالرُّوحِ. وَقَدْ أصدَرتُ بِالفِعلِ حُكماً عَلَى مَنْ قامَ بِهَذِهِ الفِعلَةِ، كَما لَوْ كُنتُ حاضِراً بَينَكُمْ.

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

فَحِينَ تَجتَمِعُونَ بِاسْمِ رَبِّنا يَسُوعَ المَسِيحِ، سَأكُونُ مَعَكُمْ بِرُوحِي، وَسَتَكُونُ قُوَّةُ رَبِّنا بَينَكُمْ أيضاً.

5 a re 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.

عِندَئِذٍ سَلِّمُوا مِثلَ هَذا الرَّجُلِ للشَّيطانِ لِهَلاكِ طَبِيعَتِهِ الجَسَدِيَّةِ، لِكَي تَخلُصَ رُوحُهُ فِي يَومِ الرَّبِّ.

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

لا يَجُوزُ لَكُمْ أنْ تَتَباهُوا. ألا تَعلَمُونَ أنَّ مِقداراً قَلِيلاً مِنَ الخَمِيرَةِ يَجعَلُ العَجِينَ كُلَّهُ يَخْتَمِرُ؟

7 P urge 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.

فَتَخَلَّصُوا مِنَ الخَمِيرَةِ القَدِيمَةِ لِكَي تَكُونُوا عَجِيناً جَدِيداً. فَأنتُمْ كَمُؤمِنِينَ بِالمَسِيحِ أرغِفَةَ خُبزٍ بِلا خَمِيرَةٍ، لِأنَّ المَسِيحَ هُوَ خَرُوفُ فِصحِنا الَّذِي ذُبِحَ مِنْ أجلِنا.

8 T herefore 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.

فَلْنُواصِلِ احْتِفالَنا، لَكِنْ لَيسَ بِالخَمِيرَةِ العَتِيقَةِ، خَمِيرَةِ الخَطِيَّةِ وَالشَّرِّ، بَلْ بِأرغِفَةٍ بِلا خَمِيرَةٍ، أرغِفَةِ الإخلاصِ وَالحَقِّ.

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

كَتَبتُ إلَيكُمْ فِي رِسالَتِي السّابِقَةِ ألّا تُخالِطُوا الزُّناةَ.

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

لَمْ أكُنْ أقصِدُ بِذَلِكَ أنْ لا تُخالِطُوا أهلَ هَذا العالَمِ الزُّناةَ أوِ الفاسِقِينَ أوِ المُحتالِينَ أوْ عَبَدَةَ الأوثانِ، وَإلّا فَإنَّكُمْ سَتَضطَرُّونَ إلَى الخُرُوجِ مِنْ هَذا العالَمِ.

11 B ut 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 extortionist. Don’t even eat with such a person.

لَكِنِّي الآنَ أكتُبُ إلَيكُمْ أنْ لا تُخالِطُوا مَنْ يَزعُمُ أنَّهُ مُؤمِنٌ وَهُوَ زانٍ أوْ فاسِقٌ أوْ عابِدُ أوثانٍ أوْ مُفتَرٍ أوْ سِكِّيْرٌ أوْ مُحتالٌ. فَلا يَنبَغِي حَتَّى أنْ تَأكُلُوا مَعَ مِثلِ هَذا الإنسانِ!

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

فَما شَأْنِي أنا لِأُطلِقُ حُكماً عَلَى الَّذِينَ لا يَنتَمُونَ إلَى الكَنِيسَةِ؟

13 B ut those who are outside, God judges. “Put away the wicked man from among yourselves.”

فَاللهُ هُوَ الَّذِي سَيَحكُمُ عَلَيهِمْ. أمّا الكِتابُ فَيَقُولُ: «أخرِجُوا الشِّرِّيرَ مِنْ بَينِكُمْ.»
