1 Corinthians 5

1 It 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.

1 قَدْ شَاعَ فِعْلاً أَنَّ بَيْنَكُمْ زِنىً. وَمِثْلُ هَذَا الزِّنَى لَا يُوجَدُ حَتَّى بَيْنَ الْوَثَنِيِّينَ. ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّ رَجُلاً مِنْكُمْ يُعَاشِرُ زَوْجَةَ أَبِيهِ.

2 And you are proud! Shouldn’t you rather have been stricken with grief and have removed from your fellowship the man who did this?

2 وَمَعَ ذَلِكَ، فَأَنْتُمْ مُنْتَفِخُونَ تَكَبُّراً، بَدَلاً مِنْ أَنْ تَنُوحُوا حَتَّى يُسْتَأْصَلَ مِنْ بَيْنِكُمْ مُرْتَكِبُ هَذَا الْفِعْلِ!

3 Although 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.

3 فَإِنِّي، وَأَنَا غَائِبٌ عَنْكُمْ بِالْجَسَدِ وَلكِنْ حَاضِرٌ بَيْنَكُمْ بِالرُّوحِ، قَدْ حَكَمْتُ عَلَى الْفَاعِلِ كَأَنِّي حَاضِرٌ:

4 When 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,

4 بِاسْمِ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ، إِذْ تَجْتَمِعُونَ مَعاً، وَرُوحِي مَعَكُمْ، فَبِسُلْطَةِ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ،

5 hand this man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved on the Day of the Lord.

5 يُسَلَّمُ مُرْتَكِبُ هَذَا الْفِعْلِ إِلَى الشَّيْطَانِ، لِيَهْلِكَ جَسَدُهُ؛ أَمَّا رُوحُهُ فَتَخْلُصُ فِي يَوْمِ الرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ.

6 Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven works through the whole batch of dough?

6 لَيْسَ افْتِخَارُكُمْ فِي مَحَلِّهِ! أَلَسْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ خَمِيرَةً صَغِيرَةً تُخَمِّرُ الْعَجِينَ كُلَّهُ؟

7 Get 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.

7 فَاعْزِلُوا الْخَمِيرَةَ الْعَتِيقَةَ مِنْ بَيْنِكُمْ لِتَكُونُوا عَجِيناً جَدِيداً، لأَنَّكُمْ فَطِيرٌ! فَإِنَّ حَمَلَ فِصْحِنَا، أَيِ الْمَسِيحَ، قَدْ ذُبِحَ.

8 Therefore 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.

8 فَلْنُعَيِّدْ إِذَنْ، لَا بِخَمِيرَةٍ عَتِيقَةٍ، وَلا بِخَمِيرَةِ الْخُبْثِ وَالشَّرِّ، بَلْ بِفَطِيرِ الْخَلاصِ وَالْحَقِّ.

9 I wrote you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people.

9 كَتَبْتُ إِلَيْكُمْ فِي رِسَالَتِي أَنْ لَا تُعَاشِرُوا الزُّنَاةَ.

10 I 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.

10 فَلا أَعْنِي زُنَاةَ هَذَا الْعَالَمِ أَوِ الطَّمَّاعِينَ أَوِ السَّرَّاقِينَ أَوْ عَابِدِي الأَصْنَامِ عَلَى وَجْهِ الإِطْلاقِ، وَإلَّا كُنْتُمْ مُضْطَرِّينَ إِلَى الْخُرُوجِ مِنَ الْمُجْتَمَعِ الْبَشَرِيِّ!

11 But 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.

11 أَمَّا الآنَ فَقَدْ كَتَبْتُ إِلَيْكُمْ بِأَنْ لَا تُعَاشِرُوا مَنْ يُسَمَّى أَخاً إِنْ كَانَ زَانِياً أَوْ طَمَّاعاً أَوْ عَابِدَ أَصْنَامٍ أَوْ شَتَّاماً أَوْ سِكِّيراً أَوْ سَرَّاقاً. فَمِثْلُ هَذَا لَا تُعَاشِرُوهُ وَلا تَجْلِسُوا مَعَهُ لِتَنَاوُلِ الطَّعَامِ.

12 What business of mine is it to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside?

12 فَمَالِي وَلِلَّذِينَ خَارِجَ (الْكَنِيسَةِ) حَتَّى أَدِينَهُمْ؟ أَلَسْتُمْ أَنْتُمْ تَدِينُونَ الَّذِينَ دَاخِلَهَا؟

13 God will judge those outside. “Expel the wicked man from among you.”

13 أَمَّا الَّذِينَ فِي الْخَارِجِ، فَاللهُ يَدِينُهُمْ. «فَاعْزِلُوا مَنْ هُوَ شِرِّيرٌ مِنْ بَيْنِكُمْ».
