Ezechiel 18
1 Opět stalo se slovo Hospodinovo ke mně, řkoucí:
The word of the Lord came to me again, saying,
2 Což jest vám, že užíváte přísloví tohoto o zemi Izraelské, říkajíce: Otcové jedli hrozen trpký, a zubové synů laskominy mají?
Why do you make use of this saying about the land of Israel, The fathers have been tasting bitter grapes and the children's teeth are on edge?
3 Živť jsem já, praví Panovník Hospodin, že nebudete moci více užívati přísloví tohoto v Izraeli.
By my life, says the Lord, you will no longer have this saying in Israel.
4 Aj, všecky duše mé jsou, jakož duše otcova, tak i duše synova mé jsou. Duše, kteráž hřeší, ta umře.
See, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so the soul of the son is mine: death will be the fate of the sinner's soul.
5 Nebo byl-li by někdo spravedlivý, a činil by soud a spravedlnost;
But if a man is upright, living rightly and doing righteousness,
6 Na horách by nejídal, a očí svých nepozdvihoval k ukydaným bohům domu Izraelského, a manželky bližního svého by nepoškvrnil, a k ženě pro nečistotu oddělené nepřistoupil;
And has not taken flesh with the blood for food, or given worship to the images of the children of Israel; if he has not had connection with his neighbour's wife, or come near to a woman at the time when she is unclean;
7 Kterýž by žádného neutiskal, základ dlužníku svému by navracoval, cizího mocí nebral, chleba svého by lačnému udílel, a nahého přiodíval rouchem;
And has done no wrong to any, but has given back to the debtor what is his, and has taken no one's goods by force, and has given food to him who was in need of it, and clothing to him who was without it;
8 Na lichvu by nedával, a úroku nebral, od nepravosti ruku svou by odvracoval, soud pravý mezi jedním i druhým by činil;
And has not given his money out at interest or taken great profits, and, turning his hand from evil-doing, has kept faith between man and man,
9 V ustanoveních mých by chodil, a soudů mých ostříhal, čině, což pravého jest: spravedlivý ten jistě žeť živ bude, praví Panovník Hospodin.
And has been guided by my rules and has kept my laws and done them: he is upright, life will certainly be his, says the Lord.
10 Zplodil-li by pak syna lotra, prolevače krve, kterýž by čímkoli z těch věcí škodil bratru,
If he has a son who is a thief, a taker of life, who does any of these things,
11 Onoho pak všeho nečinil by, anobrž i na horách by jídal, a ženy bližního svého by poškvrnil;
Who has taken flesh with the blood as food, and has had connection with his neighbour's wife,
12 Chudého a nuzného by utiskl, cizí věci mocí vzal, základu by nenavrátil, a k ukydaným bohům očí svých by pozdvihoval, ohavnost provodil,
Has done wrong to the poor and to him who is in need, and taken property by force, and has not given back to one in his debt what is his, and has given worship to images and has done disgusting things,
13 Na lichvu by dával, a úrok bral: zdaž bude živ? Nebude živ. Poněvadž všecky ohavnosti tyto činil, jistotně umře, krev jeho přijde na něj.
And has given out his money at interest and taken great profits: he will certainly not go on living: he has done all these disgusting things: death will certainly be his fate; his blood will be on him.
14 A aj, zplodil-li by syna, kterýž by spatřil všecky hříchy otce svého, kteréž činil, a vida, nečinil by tak;
Now if he has a son who sees all his father's sins which he has done, and in fear does not do the same:
15 Na horách by nejídal, a očí svých nepozdvihoval k ukydaným bohům domu Izraelského, manželky bližního svého by nepoškvrnil,
Who has not taken the flesh with the blood for food, or given worship to the images of the children of Israel, and has not had connection with his neighbour's wife,
16 A aniž by koho utiskal, základu by nezadržoval, cizího mocí nebral, chleba svého lačnému by udílel, a nahého rouchem by přiodíl;
Or done wrong to any, or taken anything from one in his debt, or taken goods by force, but has given food to him who was in need of it, and clothing to him who was without it;
17 Od chudého by zdržel ruku svou, lichvy a úroku by nebral, soudy mé činil, v ustanoveních mých by chodil: tenť neumře pro nepravost otce svého, jistě živ bude.
Who has kept his hand from evil-doing and has not taken interest or great profits, who has done my orders and been guided by my rules: he will certainly not be put to death for the evil-doing of his father; life will certainly be his.
18 Otec pak jeho, proto že se bezpráví dopouštěl, cizí věci bratru mocí bral, a to, což není dobré, činil u prostřed lidu svého: protož aj, umře pro nepravost svou.
As for his father, because he was cruel, took goods by force, and did what is not good among his people, truly, death will overtake him in his evil-doing.
19 Ale říkáte: Jak by to bylo? Zdaž nenese syn nepravosti otcovy? Když syn činí soud a spravedlnost, všech ustanovení mých ostříhá a činí je, jistě žeť živ bude.
But you say, Why does not the son undergo punishment for the evil-doing of the father? When the son has done what is ordered and right, and has kept my rules and done them, life will certainly be his.
20 Duše, kteráž hřeší, ta umře. Syn neponese nepravosti otcovy, aniž otec ponese nepravosti synovy; spravedlnost spravedlivého při něm zůstane, též bezbožnost bezbožného na něj připadne.
The soul which does sin will be put to death: the son will not be made responsible for the evil-doing of the father, or the father for the evil-doing of the son; the righteousness of the upright will be on himself, and the evil-doing of the evil-doer on himself.
21 Pakli by se bezbožný odvrátil ode všech hříchu svých, kteréž činil, a ostříhal by všech ustanovení mých, a činil by soud a spravedlnost, jistě živ bude a neumře.
But if the evil-doer, turning away from all the sins which he has done, keeps my rules and does what is ordered and right, life will certainly be his; death will not be his fate.
22 Žádná přestoupení jeho, jichž se dopustil, nebudou jemu připomínána; v spravedlnosti své, kterouž by činil, živ bude.
Not one of the sins which he has done will be kept in memory against him: in the righteousness which he has done he will have life.
23 Zdaliž jakou líbost mám, když umírá bezbožný? dí Panovník Hospodin. Zdali ne raději když se odvrací od cest svých, aby živ byl?
Have I any pleasure in the death of the evil-doer? says the Lord: am I not pleased if he is turned from his way so that he may have life?
24 Pakli by se odvrátil spravedlivý od spravedlnosti své, a činil by nepravost, čině podlé všech ohavností, kteréž činí bezbožný, takový-liž by živ byl? Na žádné spravedlnosti jeho, kteréž činil, nebude pamatováno. Pro přestoupení své, jehož se dopouštěl, a pro hřích svůj, kterýž páchal, pro tyť věci umře.
But when the upright man, turning away from his righteousness, does evil, like all the disgusting things which the evil man does, will he have life? Not one of his upright acts will be kept in memory: in the wrong which he has done and in his sin death will overtake him.
25 Že pak říkáte: Není pravá cesta Páně, poslyštež nyní, ó dome Izraelský: Zdali má cesta není pravá? Zdali nejsou cesty vaše nepravé?
But you say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Give ear, now, O children of Israel; is my way not equal? are not your ways unequal?
26 Když by se odvrátil spravedlivý od spravedlnosti své, a čině nepravost, v tom by umřel, pro nepravost svou, kterouž činil, umře.
When the upright man, turning away from his righteousness, does evil, death will overtake him; in the evil which he has done death will overtake him.
27 A když by se odvrátil bezbožný od bezbožnosti své, kterouž činil, a činil by soud a spravedlnost, tenť duši svou zachová při životu.
Again, when the evil-doer, turning away from the evil he has done, does what is ordered and right, he will have life for his soul.
28 Nebo prohlédl, a odvrátil, se ode všech přestoupení svých, jichž se dopouštěl; jistě žeť živ bude a neumře.
Because he had fear and was turned away from all the wrong which he had done, life will certainly be his, death will not be his fate.
29 A však vždy říká dům Izraelský: Není pravá cesta Páně. Zdali mé cesty nepravé jsou, ó dome Izraelský? Zdaliž nejsou cesty vaše nepravé?
But still the children of Israel say, The way of the Lord is not equal. O children of Israel, are my ways not equal? are not your ways unequal?
30 A protož každého z vás podlé cest jeho souditi budu, ó dome Izraelský, dí Panovník Hospodin. Navraťtež se a odvraťte ode všech přestoupení svých, aby vám nebyla k úrazu nepravost.
For this cause I will be your judge, O children of Israel, judging every man by his ways, says the Lord. Come back and be turned from all your sins; so that they may not be the cause of your falling into evil.
31 Odvrzte od sebe všecka přestoupení vaše, jichž jste se dopouštěli, a učiňte sobě srdce nové a ducha nového. I pročež mřete, ó dome Izraelský?
Put away all your evil-doing in which you have done sin; and make for yourselves a new heart and a new spirit: why are you desiring death, O children of Israel?
32 Však nemám líbosti v smrti toho, jenž umírá, dí Panovník Hospodin. Obraťte se tedy, a živi buďte.
For I have no pleasure in the death of him on whom death comes, says the Lord: be turned back then, and have life.
