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?
"What do you mean, that you use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying, 'The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge?'
3 Živť jsem já, praví Panovník Hospodin, že nebudete moci více užívati přísloví tohoto v Izraeli.
As I live, says the LORD, you shall not have occasion any more to use this proverb in Israel.
4 Aj, všecky duše mé jsou, jakož duše otcova, tak i duše synova mé jsou. Duše, kteráž hřeší, ta umře.
Look, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul who sins, he shall die.
5 Nebo byl-li by někdo spravedlivý, a činil by soud a spravedlnost;
"But if a man is just, and does that which is lawful and right,
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 eaten on the mountains, neither has lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, neither has defiled his neighbor's wife, neither has come near to a woman in her impurity,
7 Kterýž by žádného neutiskal, základ dlužníku svému by navracoval, cizího mocí nebral, chleba svého by lačnému udílel, a nahého přiodíval rouchem;
and has not wronged any, but has restored to the debtor his pledge, has taken nothing by robbery, has given his bread to the hungry, and has covered the naked with a garment;
8 Na lichvu by nedával, a úroku nebral, od nepravosti ruku svou by odvracoval, soud pravý mezi jedním i druhým by činil;
he who has not given forth on interest, neither has taken any increase, who has withdrawn his hand from iniquity, has executed true justice between man and man,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.
has walked in my statutes, and has kept my ordinances, to deal truly; he is just, he shall surely live," says the LORD.
10 Zplodil-li by pak syna lotra, prolevače krve, kterýž by čímkoli z těch věcí škodil bratru,
"If he fathers a son who is a robber, a shedder of blood, and who does any one of these things,
11 Onoho pak všeho nečinil by, anobrž i na horách by jídal, a ženy bližního svého by poškvrnil;
and who does not any of those duties, but even has eaten on the mountains, and defiled his neighbor'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 wronged the poor and needy, has taken by robbery, has not restored the pledge, and has lifted up his eyes to the idols, has committed abomination,
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.
has given forth on 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 on him.
14 A aj, zplodil-li by syna, kterýž by spatřil všecky hříchy otce svého, kteréž činil, a vida, nečinil by tak;
"Now, look, if he fathers a son, who sees all his father's sins, which he has done, and fears, and does not such like;
15 Na horách by nejídal, a očí svých nepozdvihoval k ukydaným bohům domu Izraelského, manželky bližního svého by nepoškvrnil,
who has not eaten on the mountains, neither has lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, has not defiled his neighbor's wife,
16 A aniž by koho utiskal, základu by nezadržoval, cizího mocí nebral, chleba svého lačnému by udílel, a nahého rouchem by přiodíl;
neither has wronged any, has not taken anything to pledge, neither has taken by robbery, but has given his bread to the hungry, and has covered the naked with a garment;
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 withdrawn his hand from the poor, 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 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 cruelly oppressed, robbed his brother, and did that which is not good among his people, look, he shall die in his iniquity.
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.
"Yet you say, 'Why doesn't 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 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 who sins, he shall die: the son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son; the righteousness of the righteous shall be on him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be on him.
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 wicked turn from all his sins that he has committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
22 Žádná přestoupení jeho, jichž se dopustil, nebudou jemu připomínána; v spravedlnosti své, kterouž by činil, živ bude.
None of his transgressions that he has committed shall be remembered against him: in his righteousness that he has done he shall live.
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 wicked?" says the LORD; "and not rather that he should return from his way, and live?
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 righteous turns away from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, and does according to all the abominations that the 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 shall he die.
25 Že pak říkáte: Není pravá cesta Páně, poslyštež nyní, ó dome Izraelský: Zdali má cesta není pravá? Zdali nejsou cesty vaše nepravé?
"'Yet you say, "The way of the LORD is not just." Hear now, house of Israel: "Is my way not just? Aren't your ways unjust?"
26 Když by se odvrátil spravedlivý od spravedlnosti své, a čině nepravost, v tom by umřel, pro nepravost svou, kterouž činil, umře.
When the righteous man turns away from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, and dies in it; in his iniquity that he has done shall he die.
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 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 Nebo prohlédl, a odvrátil, se ode všech přestoupení svých, jichž se dopouštěl; jistě žeť živ bude a neumře.
Because he considers, and turns away from all his transgressions that he has committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
29 A však vždy říká dům Izraelský: Není pravá cesta Páně. Zdali mé cesty nepravé jsou, ó dome Izraelský? Zdaliž nejsou cesty vaše nepravé?
Yet the house of Israel says, "The way of the LORD is not just." "House of Israel, aren't my ways just? Aren't your ways unjust?"
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.
"'Therefore I will judge you, house of Israel, everyone according to his ways,' says the LORD. 'Return, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.
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?
Cast away from you all your transgressions, in which you have transgressed; and make yourself a new heart and a new spirit: for why will you die, house 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 who dies,' says the LORD: 'therefore turn yourselves, and live.'"
