Ezechiel 18
1 Opět stalo se slovo Hospodinovo ke mně, řkoucí:
Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
2 Což jest vám, že užíváte přísloví tohoto o zemi Izraelské, říkajíce: Otcové jedli hrozen trpký, a zubové synů laskominy mají?
“You people quote [RHQ] this proverb [and say that it is] about Israel: ‘Parents/People eat sour grapes, but it is their children who have a very sour taste in their mouths', [which means that you think that it is not fair for you to be punished for your ancestors’ sins].
3 Živť jsem já, praví Panovník Hospodin, že nebudete moci více užívati přísloví tohoto v Izraeli.
But [I], Yahweh the Lord, declare that [as surely] as I am alive, you Israeli people will no longer quote that proverb.
4 Aj, všecky duše mé jsou, jakož duše otcova, tak i duše synova mé jsou. Duše, kteráž hřeší, ta umře.
Everyone [who is alive] belongs to me. That includes children and their parents; they all belong to me. And it is those who sin who will [because of their sins].
5 Nebo byl-li by někdo spravedlivý, a činil by soud a spravedlnost;
[So, ] suppose there is a righteous person [always] does what is fair and right [DOU].
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;
He does not [meat sacrificed to idols] on the hilltops, he does not request help from idols. He does not have sex with someone else’s wife or have sex with a woman during her monthly menstrual period.
7 Kterýž by žádného neutiskal, základ dlužníku svému by navracoval, cizího mocí nebral, chleba svého by lačnému udílel, a nahého přiodíval rouchem;
He does not mistreat/oppress people; if [borrows money from him and gives him his cloak to guarantee that he will pay the money back], he always gives the cloak back to that [before the sun goes down]. He does not rob people. He gives food to hungry people. He gives clothing to people who need clothes.
8 Na lichvu by nedával, a úroku nebral, od nepravosti ruku svou by odvracoval, soud pravý mezi jedním i druhým by činil;
When he lends money to people, he does not [do it just to] charge big interest. He does not do [SYN] things that are evil. He [always] decides things fairly.
9 V ustanoveních mých by chodil, a soudů mých ostříhal, čině, což pravého jest: spravedlivý ten jistě žeť živ bude, praví Panovník Hospodin.
He faithfully obeys all [DOU] my laws. That man is truly righteous; he will remain alive. [That is what I, ] Yahweh the Lord, promise.
10 Zplodil-li by pak syna lotra, prolevače krve, kterýž by čímkoli z těch věcí škodil bratru,
But suppose that man has a son who acts violently, who murders people and does any of these other things, even though his father has not done any of them:
11 Onoho pak všeho nečinil by, anobrž i na horách by jídal, a ženy bližního svého by poškvrnil;
He [meat sacrificed to idols] on the hilltops. He has sex with other people’s wives.
12 Chudého a nuzného by utiskl, cizí věci mocí vzal, základu by nenavrátil, a k ukydaným bohům očí svých by pozdvihoval, ohavnost provodil,
He mistreats/oppresses poor and needy people. He robs people. If someone gives him his cloak to [that he will pay the money back], he never gives the cloak back to [before the sun goes down]. He seeks help from idols. He does [other] detestable 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.
When he lends money, he [very big] interest. If you think that such a person [be allowed to] remain alive [RHQ], you are certainly wrong. Because he has done those detestable things, he will surely be executed, and it will be his own fault [IDM].
14 A aj, zplodil-li by syna, kterýž by spatřil všecky hříchy otce svého, kteréž činil, a vida, nečinil by tak;
But suppose that man has a son who sees all the sins that his father commits, but he does not do those things:
15 Na horách by nejídal, a očí svých nepozdvihoval k ukydaným bohům domu Izraelského, manželky bližního svého by nepoškvrnil,
He does not [meat sacrificed to idols] on the hilltops. He does not request help from idols. He does not have sex with other people’s wives.
16 A aniž by koho utiskal, základu by nezadržoval, cizího mocí nebral, chleba svého lačnému by udílel, a nahého rouchem by přiodíl;
He does not mistreat/oppress people. If he lends money to someone, he does not require that person to give him his cloak to guarantee that he will pay the money back. He does not rob anyone. He gives food to those who need it. He gives clothes to those who need clothes.
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.
He does not commit sins, [like his father did], and does not charge big interest [DOU] when he lends money. He faithfully obeys [all] [DOU] my laws. That person will not be executed for his father’s sins; he will surely remain alive.
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.
But his father will be executed for the sins that he committed, because he cheated people and robbed people and did [other] things that are evil.
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.
[If] you ask, ‘Why should the [man’s] son not (suffer/be punished) for the evil things that his father did?’, [I will answer that] the son has done what is fair and right [DOU] and has obeyed all my laws, so he will surely remain alive.
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.
It is those who sin who will [because of their sins]. People will not be punished for the sins of their parents, or for the sins of their children. Good/Righteous people will be rewarded for their being good/righteous, and evil people will be punished for [doing] evil.
21 Pakli byse 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 a wicked person (turns away from/quits) doing all the evil things that he did previously, and if he starts to obey faithfully all my laws, and does what is fair and right [DOU], he will surely remain alive; he will not be executed.
22 Žádná přestoupení jeho, jichž se dopustil, nebudou jemu připomínána; v spravedlnosti své, kterouž by činil, živ bude.
He will not be punished for the sins he committed [previously]. Because of the good/righteous things that he has done [since that time], he [be allowed to] remain alive.
23 Zdaliž jakou líbost mám, když umírá bezbožný? dí Panovník Hospodin. Zdali ne raději když se odvrací od cest svých, aby živ byl?
[I], Yahweh the Lord, declare that I certainly am not [RHQ] happy about wicked people dying. Instead, I am happy when they turn away from their wicked behavior, [because of that, they] remain alive.
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 if a righteous person stops doing righteous things and [starts to] commit sins and does the same detestable things that wicked people do, he will certainly not [RHQ] [be allowed to] remain alive. I will not think about the righteous things that he did previously. Because he did not [do what pleases me], and because of [all] the sins that he has committed, he will be executed.
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, ‘Yahweh does not act fairly!’ You Israeli people, listen to what I say: It is certainly not [RHQ] what I do that is unfair, it is what you continually do that is not fair/right!
26 Když by se odvrátil spravedlivý od spravedlnosti své, a čině nepravost, v tom by umřel, pro nepravost svou, kterouž činil, umře.
If a righteous person (turns away from/quits) doing what is righteous and commits sins, he will [for committing those sins].
27 A když by se odvrátil bezbožný od bezbožnosti své, kterouž činil, a činil by soud a spravedlnost, tenť duši svou zachová při životu.
But if a wicked person turns away from doing wicked things and does what is just and right [DOU], he will save [from being executed/punished].
28 Nebo prohlédl, a odvrátil, se ode všech přestoupení svých, jichž se dopouštěl; jistě žeť živ bude a neumře.
Because he has thought about all the evil things that he did and has turned away from doing them, he will [be allowed to] live. He will not be executed [for having done evil things].
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 [you] Israeli people [MTY] say, ‘Yahweh does not act fairly.’ You people of Israel, my behavior is certainly not [RHQ] unfair! It is your behavior that is not right.
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, you Israeli people [MTY], I, Yahweh the Lord, will judge each of you according to what you have done. Repent! Turn [away] from all your wicked behavior! Then you will not be destroyed [PRS] because of your sins.
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?
Get rid of all your wicked behavior, and get a new way of thinking [IDM, DOU]. You Israeli people [MTY], (do you really want to be executed for your sins?/you act as though you want to be executed [for your sins]) [RHQ].
32 Však nemám líbosti v smrti toho, jenž umírá, dí Panovník Hospodin. Obraťte se tedy, a živi buďte.
[I], Yahweh the Lord, declare that I am not pleased about your dying. So repent, and remain alive!”
