Isigiele 18
1 Hina Gode da nama amane sia: i,
Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2 “Dunu da Isala: ili soge amo ganodini, amo malasu gebewane sia: nana, amane, ‘Edala emela da gamogai waini efe fage mai, be ilia mano fawane da naba: loba gamogai nabi.’”
“What do you people mean by quoting this proverb about the land of Israel: ‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the teeth of the children are set on edge’?
3 Ouligisudafa Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Na da Fifi Ahoanusu Gode, amola Na da amane sia: sa, ‘Amo malasu, dilia Isala: ili soge ganodini hamedafa bu sia: mu.’
As surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, you will no longer quote this proverb in Israel.
4 Na fawane da dunu huluane ilia esalusu, edala, emela amola mano, Na fawane ouligisa. Nowa dunu da wadela: le hamosea, hisu fawane da bogosu ba: mu.
Behold, every soul belongs to Me; both father and son are Mine. The soul who sins is the one who will die.
5 Moloidafa ida: iwane dunu ea hou ba: ma.
Now suppose a man is righteous and does what is just and right:
6 E da Isala: ili ilia loboga hamoi ‘gode’ ilima nodone hame sia: ne gadosa. E da gobele salasu amo sema oloda amoma i, hame naha. E da inia uda hame wamolasa, amola uda da sioi fisia, ema gilisili hame golasa.
He does not eat at the mountain or look to the idols of the house of Israel. He does not defile his neighbor’s wife or approach a woman during her period.
7 E da enoma hame ogogosa, amola inia liligi hame wamolasa. Dunu da ema muni bu ima: ne labeba: le, ema liligi iasea, e da amo liligi hame gagulaligisa. E da ha: i dunuma, ha: i manu iaha, amola da: i nabado dunuma abula iaha.
He does not oppress another, but restores the pledge to the debtor. He does not commit robbery, but gives his bread to the hungry and covers the naked with clothing.
8 E da dabe eno baligili lama: ne, muni hame iaha. Dunu eno da ea wadela: le hamomusa: sia: sea, e da hame hamomu sia: sa. Fofada: su ganodini, e da molole adole iaha.
He does not engage in usury or take excess interest, but he withholds his hand from iniquity and executes true justice between men.
9 Amaiwane dunu da malei sia: , amola Na sema noga: le nabawane hamosa. Ea hou da moloiba: le, e da esalumu,” Ouligisu Hina Gode da amane sia: i.
He follows My statutes and faithfully keeps My ordinances. That man is righteous; surely he will live,
10 Be amo dunu da mano galea, amo da wamolasu amola medole legesu, amola wadela: i hou ea ada hame hamoi liligi hamosa,
Now suppose that man has a violent son, who sheds blood or does any of these things,
11 amola e da gobele salasu amo sema oloda sogebi amoma i naha, amola inia uda adole laha,
though the father has done none of them: Indeed, the son eats at the mountain and defiles his neighbor’s wife.
12 amola hame gagui dunuma ogogosa, amola liligi wamolasa, amola bu ima: ne i liligi wamolasa. E da Gode higa: i dunu ilia loboga hamoi ogogosu ‘gode’ ilia sogebi ahoasea, amo liligima nodone sia: ne gadosa.
He oppresses the poor and needy; he commits robbery and does not restore a pledge. He lifts his eyes to idols; he commits abominations.
13 E da muni eno baligili lamusa: eno dunuma iaha. Amo mano da esaloma: bela: ? Hamefa! E da amo wadela: i hou hamobeba: le, bogomu. E da hi baiga bogomu.
He engages in usury and takes excess interest. Will this son live? He will not! Since he has committed all these abominations, he will surely die; his blood will be on his own head.
14 Defea! Eno dunu afae ea hou dawa: ma! Amo wadela: i dunu egefe da eada ea wadela: i hou ba: beba: le, amo higasea ema hame fa: no bobogesa.
Now suppose this son has a son who sees all the sins his father has committed, considers them, and does not do likewise:
15 E da Isala: ili ilia loboga hamoi ‘gode’ ilima nodone hame sia: ne gadosa. E da gobele salasu amo sema oloda amoma i, hame naha. E da inia uda hame wamolasa, amola uda da sioi fisia, ema gilisili hame golasa. E da enoma hame ogogosa, amola inia liligi hame wamolasa. Dunu da ema muni bu ima: ne labeba: le, ema liligi iasea, e da amo liligi hame gagulaligisa. E da ha: i dunuma ha: i manu iaha, amola da: i nabado dunuma abula iaha. E da baligili eno lama: ne, muni hame iaha. Dunu eno da ea wadela: le hamomusa: sia: sea, e da hame hamomu sia: sa. Fofada: su ganodini, e da molole adole iaha. Amaiwane dunu da malei sia: amola Na sema noga: le nabawane hamosa. E da ea eda ea wadela: i hou hamoiba: le hame bogomu. E da dafawane fifi ahoanumu.
He does not eat at the mountain or look to the idols of the house of Israel. He does not defile his neighbor’s wife.
He does not oppress another, or retain a pledge, or commit robbery. He gives his bread to the hungry and covers the naked with clothing.
He withholds his hand from harming the poor and takes no interest or usury. He keeps My ordinances and follows My statutes. Such a man will not die for his father’s iniquity. He will surely live.
18 Be ea eda da ogogoi, amola wamolai, amola eno dunuma wadela: le hamosu. Amaiba: le, e da hi wadela: i hou hamobeba: le, bogoi dagoi.
As for his father, he will die for his own iniquity, because he practiced extortion, robbed his brother, and did what was wrong among his people.
19 Be dilia da amane adole ba: sa, ‘Egefe da eada wadela: i hou hamobeba: le, abuliba: le se iasu hame labala?’ Bai egefe da moloidafa hou hamoiba: le, se bidi iasu hame lai, amola e da esalumu.
Yet you may ask, ‘Why shouldn’t the son bear the iniquity of his father?’ Since the son has done what is just and right, carefully observing all My statutes, he will surely live.
20 Wadela: i hou hamobe dunu amo fawane da bogomu. Egefe da eda ea wadela: le hamobeba: le, se hame nabimu. Amola eda da egefe wadela: le hamobeba: le, se nabimu da hamedei. Dunu noga: i da noga: i hou hamosea, hahawane bidi lamu amola wadela: i dunu da wadela: le hamosea, e da se bidi iasu ba: mu.
The soul who sins is the one who will die. A son will not bear the iniquity of his father, and a father will not bear the iniquity of his son. The righteousness of the righteous man will fall upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked man will fall upon him.
21 Wadela: i dunu da wadela: i hou yolesili, Na malei nabawane hamosea, amola hou moloiwane hamosea, bogosu mae ba: le, esalumu.
But if the wicked man turns from all the sins he has committed, keeps all My statutes, and does what is just and right, he will surely live; he will not die.
22 Na da ea wadela: i hou huluane gogolema: ne olofomu. Amasea, e da esalumu. Bai e da moloiwane hamoiba: le.
None of the transgressions he has committed will be held against him. Because of the righteousness he has practiced, he will live.
23 Dia dawa: loba da wadela: i hamosu dunu bogosea, Na da hahawane ba: sala: ? Hamefa! Be e da sinidigili, esaloma: ne, Na da hanai, “Ouligisu Hina Gode da amane sia: sa.
Do I take any pleasure in the death of the wicked? declares the Lord GOD. Wouldn’t I prefer that he turn from his ways and live?
24 Be moloidafa dunu da moloi hou fisili, wadela: i dunu ilia wadela: idafa hou defele hamosea, e da esaloma: bela: ? Hamefa! Na da ea musa: moloi hou hamoi amo bu hame dawa: mu. E da didili hame hamobeba: le amola wadela: le hamobeba: le, bogosu ba: mu.
But if a righteous man turns from his righteousness and practices iniquity, committing the same abominations as the wicked, will he live? None of the righteous acts he did will be remembered. Because of the unfaithfulness and sin he has committed, he will die.
25 Be dilia da amane sia: sa, ‘Hina Gode Ea hou da moloi hame.’ Isala: ili dunu dilia! Na sia: nabima! Dilia dawa: loba, Na hamobe da moloi hamela: ? Hame mabu! Dilia hou fawane da moloi hame!
Yet you say, ‘The way of the Lord is not just.’ Hear now, O house of Israel: Is it My way that is unjust? Is it not your ways that are unjust?
26 Moloidafa dunu da moloi hou fisili, wadela: i hou hamonanea, e da ea wadela: i hou hamobeba: le bogomu.
If a righteous man turns from his righteousness and practices iniquity, he will die for this. He will die because of the iniquity he has committed.
27 Be wadela: i hamosu dunu da wadela: i hou fisili, bu moloi hou hamonanea, e da ea esalusu gaga: i dagoi ba: mu.
But if a wicked man turns from the wickedness he has committed and does what is just and right, he will save his life.
28 E da wadela: i hou hamonana, amo hi dawa: digibiba: le, yolesisa. Amaiba: le, e da mae bogole esalumu.
Because he considered and turned from all the transgressions he had committed, he will surely live; he will not die.
29 Be dilia Isala: ili dunu da ‘Hina Gode Ea hou da moloi hame’ sia: sa. Dilia dawa: loba da Na hou da moloi hame dawa: bela: ? Be dilia hou fawane da moloi hame.
Yet the house of Israel says, ‘The way of the Lord is not just.’ Are My ways unjust, O house of Israel? Is it not your ways that are unjust?
30 Wali, Na, Ouligisudafa Hina Gode da dilia Isala: ili dunuma amane sia: sa, ‘Na da dilia afae afae dilia hamoi defele dilima fofada: mu. Dilia wadela: i hou fisima! Dilia wadela: i hou amoga dilila: mae wadela: lesima: ma.
Therefore, O house of Israel, I will judge you, each according to his ways, declares the Lord GOD. Repent and turn from all your transgressions, so that your iniquity will not become your downfall.
31 Dilia wadela: i hou hamonanea yolesima. Asigi dawa: su gaheabolo amola dogo gaheabolo lama. Dilia Isala: ili dunu abuliba: le bogomusa: hanabela: ?”
Cast away from yourselves all the transgressions you have committed, and fashion for yourselves a new heart and a new spirit. Why should you die, O house of Israel?
32 Ouligisudafa Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Na da diliga afae bogomu higa: i hodosa. Dilia wadela: i hou yolesili, fifi ahoanusu lama!”
For I take no pleasure in anyone’s death, declares the Lord GOD. So repent and live!
