Ezekiel 18
1 Hichun kahenga Pakai thusei achom dang khat ahung lhunge.
The word of Jehovah came to me again, saying,
2 “Ipi dinga hiche thuchih hi Israel gamsung chung thudol nasei kit kit uva, “Minu mipate lengpithei thuh aneuvin ahinlah achateu athei twina jeh chun akamsungu atol lhatai,” tia nasei jiu ham?
What do ye mean, that ye use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the son's teeth are set on edge?
3 Tahbeh mongin keima kahing jinge tin thaneitah Pakaiyin aseije. Israel lah a hiche hi nanungsei kit louhel diu ahitai.
As I live, says the lord Jehovah, ye shall not have occasion any more to use this proverb in Israel.
4 Ijeh inem itile mijouse hi keiman athu katan cheh ding ahin, mipate hihen achateu hijongleu agoma kibang cheh ahiuve. Hiche hi kachonna dan ahi, ‘Koi hile chonset bolla chu thitei ding ahi.’
Behold, all souls are mine, as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine. The soul that sins, it shall die.
5 Tekah nan, mipa khat chu michonpha ahi, adih chetna atoh a chuleh adih a ahile,
But if a man be just, and does that which is lawful and right,
6 Amapa chun molsang chunga Israel milim manga an aneh khah hih hella ahiloule ahouva apna louva ahileh, amapa chun jonthanhoi abolda a, ahilouleh numei khat chu athinei pet a aluppi da a,
and has not eaten upon the mountains, nor has lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, nor has defiled his neighbor's wife, nor has come near to a woman in her impurity,
7 Amapa chu sumbat hom mikhoto them ahia, mivaichan bat mana athiltun u akoiden louva ahileh, mivaicha ho neile gou achom peh hih leh, hiche sanga chu agilkel ho ann aneh sah a, saguoh keuva umho ponsil apeh a,
and has not wronged any man, but has restored to the debtor his pledge, has taken nothing by robbery, has given his bread to a hungry man, and has covered a naked man with a garment,
8 Sum akan lalouva sumbat ahomma, thudih louva thu kitanna konna akikangse a, lungthengsel ahia, chule midang thutanna agamlat a,
he who has not given forth upon interest, nor has taken any increase, who has withdrawn his hand from iniquity, has executed true justice between man and man,
9 Chuleh tahsan umtah kathupeh le kachondan ho ajuija ahileh, mikhat touvin hiche thilho hi adih a abolla ahile ama chu hing teitei ding ahi” tin thaneitah Pakaiyin aseije.
has walked in my statutes, and has kept my ordinances, to deal truly, he is just. He shall surely live, says the lord Jehovah.
10 Ahin hitobang mipa khat chun chapa khat nei hen lang, amapa chu michom tolthat hihen lang, chule thilpha bol ding chu nom tahih henlang hileh,
If he begets a son who is a robber, a shedder of blood, and who does any one of these things,
11 Chule hiche chapa chun apan abol khah louhel thilphalou jouse bol tahen lang, molsang chung dunga milim doiho chu gahou hen jonthanhoi bol taleh,
and who does not do any of those duties, but has even eaten upon the mountains, and defiled his neighbor's wife,
12 Mivaicha leh panpi ding neilou ho chu a engse sea abol'a, asumbat neipa a konna gucha jia, athilbat manna kitungho kilelhat sah ding nom louva, milim doiho hou kidah dah um chonset bolna a kipumpeh,
has wronged the poor and needy man, has taken by robbery, has not restored the pledge, and has lifted up his eyes to the idols, has committed abomination,
13 Chule sum homma aval vala akan kilah, hitobanga chonsepa chu hing thing ding hinam? Ahipoi amachu thitei tei ding chule themmona dimsetna akilah ding ahi.
has given forth upon interest, and has taken increase, shall he then live? He shall not live. He has done all these abominations. He shall surely die. His blood shall be upon him.
14 Ahinlah hitobang chonsetna dim mipa chun chapa khat nei henlang hiche achapa chun apa gitlouna chengse chu amudoh tengle hitobang hinkho chu mang talou dingin kigeltha taleh,
Now, lo, if he begets a son, who sees all his father's sins, which he has done, and fears, and does not do such like,
15 Hiche chapa chu molsang chung dunga milim doi ho chu hou ding nom tahih hen lang chuleh jonthanhoi jin kipeh lut da jeng taleh,
who has not eaten upon the mountains, nor has lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, has not defiled his neighbor's wife,
16 Mivaicha ho adihlouvin bolda henlang, ahinlah hicheho sang chun mi sumbat a lahna a kitah hen lang amaho chu chommang da hen. Aman agilkel ho ann nehsah hen lang chule angaiho ponsil peleh,
nor has wronged any man, has not taken anything to pledge, nor has taken by robbery, but has given his bread to a hungry man, and has covered a naked man with a garment,
17 Mivachaho kithopi hen, akan dingin sum hom dahen. Chuleh kachondan ho leh kathupeh ho jui bukim soh hen, hitobang mi chu apa chonset jeh a thilou hel ding, amavang hing teitei ding ahi.
who has withdrawn his hand from a poor man, who has not received interest nor increase, has executed my ordinances, has walked in my statutes, he shall not die for the iniquity of his father. He shall surely live.
18 Ahinlah apa vang chu achonsetna tamtah ho jeh a, akhanset jeh a, miho achom jeh a, chule mitmu a kicheh tah a thildihlou abolho jeh a chu thiding ahi.
As for his father, because he cruelly oppressed, robbed his brother, and did that which is not good among his people, behold, he shall die in his iniquity.
19 Iti danna apa chonset man achapan apeh lou ham ipi jeh ham natiuve. Ahipoi chapang chun thilpha abolla adih a achonna chuleh kathupehho ajuija ahile hing teitei ding ahi.
Yet ye say, Why does not the son bear the iniquity of the father? When the son has done that which is lawful and right, and has kept all my statutes, and has done them, he shall surely live.
20 Ahinkho a chonsepa vang chu thiding ahi. Apa chonset jeh a achapa ki engbol lou ding, chule achapa chonset jeh a apa ki engbol lou ding ahi. Michonpha ho chu achonphatna jal'a tohphatman asan uva, chuleh migilou techu agitlou nau jal'a, ki engbol dingu ahi.
The soul that sins, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, nor shall the father bear the iniquity of the son. The righteousness of a righteous man shall be upon him, and the wickedness of a wicked man shall be upon him.
21 Ahinlah ijem tin migilou techun achonset nau jousea kon in hung kihei mang uhenlang chuleh kathupeh ho hin jui pan uhen, chule thilpha leh adih chu hin bol uhenlang hileh hing teitei dingu ahin, thilou hel dingu ahi.
But if a wicked man turns from all his sins that he has committed, and keeps all my statutes, and does that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live. He shall not die.
22 Achesa phat a achonset nau jouse kisuhmil peh a chuleh chonphat abol hou jouse jeh a hing diu ahi.
None of his transgressions that he has committed shall be remembered against him. In his righteousness that he has done he shall live.
23 Migilouho thi chu kamu nomma nangaitou ham tin thaneitah Pakai chun aseije. Migilou chu agitlouna a konna akihei manga ahin ding chu kadei louva nabolu ham?
Have I any pleasure in the death of a wicked man? says the lord Jehovah, and not rather that he should return from his way, and live?
24 Iti hen lang hijongle michonpha khat tou chu achonphatna lampia konna akihei manga chonset abolpat tah a, midang chonset banga achonset tah a ahileh, amaho chu ahin diu kiphal peh ding ham. Ahipoi hithei louhel ding ahibouve. Achonphat nahou jouse chu kisuhmil peh a chule achonset nauva thiden diu ahi.
But when a righteous man turns away from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, and does according to all the abominations that a wicked man does, shall he live? None of his righteous deeds that he has done shall be remembered. In his trespass that he has trespassed, and in his sin that he has sinned, in them he shall die.
25 Ahijeng vang'in Pakaiyin thilpha chu abollou ham tin nasei jiuve. O Israel mipite! Thilpha bollou chu kei kahi ham? Ahiloule nangho nahiu ham?
Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equitable. Hear now, O house of Israel. Is not my way equitable? Are not your ways inequitable?
26 Michonpha ho chu achonphat nauva konna akihei mang uva chonset thil abolpat tah uva ahile hiche a chu thi diu ahi. Henge achonset nau jeh a chu thidiu ahi.
When a righteous man turns away from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, and dies in it, in his iniquity that he has done, he shall die.
27 Chuleh migilou ho chun agitlou nauva konna ahung kihei doh uva, dan ajui uva, chuleh thilpha leh adih abol uva ahileh, amaho chun ahinkhou chu akihuhdoh diu ahi.
Again, when a wicked man turns away from his wickedness that he has committed, and does that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive.
28 Achonset nauva konna kiheidoh dinga akigel lhah nau alunggel ho jeh a amaho chu hing diu ahi. Hitobang mi chu thilou ding ahi.
Because he considers, and turns away from all his transgressions that he has committed, he shall surely live. He shall not die.
29 Ahijeng vang'in Israel mipi ten hitin aseije uve. Pakaiyin thilpha abolpoi, “O Israel mipite, thilpha bollou chu nangho nahiuvin kei kahipoi.”
Yet the house of Israel says, The way of the Lord is not equitable. O house of Israel, are not my ways equitable? Are not your ways inequitable?
30 Hiche jeh a chu O Israel mipite, nachon nau dungjui cheh uva khat cheh a nachung thu katan ding ahi tin thaneitah Pakaiyin aseije. Nalung heijun lang chule nachonset nauva kon in keihei mangun kisuhmang sah hih un.
Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, each one according to his ways, says the lord Jehovah. Return ye, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions, so iniquity shall not be your ruin.
31 Doumah mah nabol chengseu chu nanung languvah koijun, lungthah sem uvin lang lhagao thah neijun. Ipijeh a nathi jeng diu ham O Israel mite.
Cast away from you all your transgressions, by which ye have transgressed, and make you a new heart and a new spirit. For why will ye die, O house of Israel?
32 Kinung heijun lang hingun, nathi diu kadeipoi tin thaneitah Pakaiyin aseije.
For I have no pleasure in the death of him who dies, says the lord Jehovah, therefore turn yourselves back, and live.
