< Ezekiel 18 >

1 The word of Jehovah came unto me again, saying,
Nagsao manen ni Yahweh kaniak a kunana,
2 What mean ye, that ye use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge?
“Ania ti kayatyo a sawen, dakayo a mangus-usar iti daytoy a proberbio maipanggep iti daga ti Israel a kunkunayo, 'Nangan dagiti nagannak kadagiti naalsem nga ubas, ket dagiti ngipen dagiti annak ti naalino?'
3 As I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, ye shall not have [occasion] any more to use this proverb in Israel.
Iti naganko a sibibiag a Dios—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh nga Apo—saanyonton nga aramatenen daytoy a proberbio iti Israel.
4 Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.
Adtoy! Kukuak ti tunggal biag! Ken kasta met ti biag dagiti nagannak, ken ti biag dagiti annak: kukuak ida! Ti tao nga agbasbasol isu ti matay!
5 But if a man be just, and do that which is lawful and right,
Ngem no ti maysa a tao ket nalinteg ken ipatpatungpalna ti hustisia ken kinalinteg—
6 and hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, neither hath defiled his neighbor’s wife, neither hath come near to a woman in her impurity,
no saan isuna a nangan kadagidiay a bantay a pagdaydayawan kadagiti didiosen, ken saanna nga inkita dagiti matana kadagiti didiosen ti balay ti Israel—no saanna a tinulawan ti asawa ti kaarrubana, wenno inasitgan ti maysa a babai a madama iti binulan a panagreglana—
7 and hath not wronged any, but hath restored to the debtor his pledge, hath taken nought by robbery, hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment;
no saanna nga indadanes ti siasinoman ngem ketdi insublina ti insalda ti nakautang—no saanna nga innala ti natakaw, ngem ketdi itedanna kadagiti taraonna dagiti mabisin ken kawesanna dagiti lamolamo;
8 he that hath not given forth upon interest, neither hath taken any increase, that hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity, hath executed true justice between man and man,
no saanna a paanakan dagiti ipautangna, wenno umawat iti nalabes a ganansya—no ipatungpalna ti hustisia ken ipasdekna ti kinapudno iti nagbabaetan dagiti tattao—
9 hath walked in my statutes, and hath kept mine ordinances, to deal truly; he is just, he shall surely live, saith the Lord Jehovah.
no pagtulnoganna dagiti alagadek ken tungpalenna dagiti paglintegak tapno agtignay a sipupudno—daytoy a tao ket nalinteg; agbiagto isuna! —kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh nga Apo.
10 If he beget a son that is a robber, a shedder of blood, and that doeth any one of these things,
Ngem no addaan isuna iti naranggas nga anak a lalaki a mammapatay ken mangar-aramid iti aniaman kadagitoy a banbanag—
11 and that doeth not any of those [duties], but even hath eaten upon the mountains, and defiled his neighbor’s wife,
uray no ti amana ket saanna nga ar-aramiden ti aniaman kadagitoy a banbanag—ngem no ti anakna a lalaki ket mangan kadagidiay a bantay a pagdaydayawan kadagiti didiosen ken tulawanna ti asawa ti kaarrubana—
12 hath wronged the poor and needy, hath taken by robbery, hath not restored the pledge, and hath lifted up his eyes to the idols, hath committed abomination,
no idadanesna dagiti nakurapay ken agkasapulan, no agsamsam isuna ken agtakaw ken saanna nga isubli ti naisalda kenkuana, no ikitana dagiti matana kadagiti didiosen wenno agaramid kadagiti makarimon;
13 hath given forth upon interest, and hath taken increase; shall he then live? he shall not live: he hath done all these abominations; he shall surely die; his blood shall be upon him.
no paanakanna dagiti ipautangna wenno umawat kadagiti sinasaur a ganansya, rumbeng kadi nga agbiag isuna? Saan isuna nga agbiag! Inaramidna amin dagitoy a makarimon a banbanag. Awan duadua a matay isuna; ti darana ket addanto kenkuana.
14 Now, lo, if he beget a son, that seeth all his father’s sins, which he hath done, and feareth, and doeth not such like;
Ngem adtoy! No maaddaan isuna iti anak a makakitkita kadagiti amin a basbasol nga inaramid ti amana, ken no isuna a mismo ket managbuteng iti Dios ken saanna nga ar-aramiden dagiti kakasta a banbanag—
15 that hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, hath not defiled his neighbor’s wife,
no saan isuna a mangan kadagidiay a bantay a pagdaydayawan kadagiti didiosen, wenno ikita dagiti matana kadagiti didiosen ti balay ti Israel—no saanna a tulawan ti asawa ti kaarrubana;
16 neither hath wronged any, hath not taken aught to pledge, neither hath taken by robbery, but hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment;
no saanna nga idadanes ti siasinoman, no saan nga agsamsam iti salda, wenno saanna nga alaen dagiti natakaw, ngem ketdi ikkanna kadagiti taraonna dagiti mabisin ken kawesanna dagiti lamolamo—
17 that hath withdrawn his hand from the poor, that hath not received interest nor increase, hath executed mine ordinances, hath walked in my statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity of his father, he shall surely live.
no saanna nga inukom dagiti nakurapay ken saanna a paanakan ti ipautangna wenno umawat iti sinasaur a ganansya; no ipatungpalna dagiti bilinko ken agtulnog kadagiti alagadek, saanto ngarud a matay isuna gapu iti basol ti amana. Awan duadua nga agbiagto isuna!
18 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.
Agsipud ta indadanes ti amana dagiti dadduma babaen iti panangsaur ken tinakawanna ti kabsatna, ken inaramidna ti saan a nasayaat kadagiti tattaona—ngarud, matayto isuna gapu iti basolna.
19 Yet say ye, Wherefore doth not the son bear the iniquity of the father? When the son hath done that which is lawful and right, and hath kept all my statutes, and hath done them, he shall surely live.
Ngem kunayo, 'Apay a saan a baklayen ti anak ti basol ti amana?' Gapu ta ipatpatungpal ti anak ti hustisia ken kinalinteg ken tungpalenna dagiti amin nga alagadek; ar-aramidenna dagitoy. Awan duadua nga agbiagto isuna!
20 The soul that sinneth, it 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 upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
Ti agbasbasol ket isu ti matay. Saan a baklayen ti anak ti basol ti amana, ken saan a baklayen ti ama ti basol ti anakna. Ti kinalinteg ti tao nga agtigtignay a sililinteg ket addanto kenkuana, ken ti kinadangkes ti dakes a tao ket addanto kenkuana.
21 But if the wicked turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
Ngem no tallikudan ti nadangkes dagiti amin a basol nga inaramidna, ket tungpalenna dagiti amin nga alagadek ken ipatungpalna ti hustisia ken kinalinteg, awan ngarud duadua nga agbiagto isuna ket saan a matay.
22 None of his transgressions that he hath committed shall be remembered against him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live.
Amin dagiti basol nga inaaramidna ket saanton a malagip a maibusor kenkuana. Agbiagto isuna babaen iti kinalinteg nga ar-aramidenna.
23 Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked? saith the Lord Jehovah; and not rather that he should return from his way, and live?
Agragsakak aya unay iti pannakatay ti nadangkes ket saan nga iti panangtallikudna iti dalanna tapno agbiag isuna? —kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh nga Apo—
24 But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? None of his righteous deeds that he hath done shall be remembered: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die.
Ngem no ti nalinteg a tao ket tallikudanna ti kinalintegna ket agaramid iti dakes ken agaramid kadagiti makarimon a kas kadagiti makarimon nga ar-aramiden dagiti nadangkes a tattao, apay agbiagto aya isuna? Amin dagiti nalinteg nga inaramidna ket saanton a malagip inton panawannak gapu iti panagsalungasingna. Matayto ngarud isuna gapu kadagiti basol nga inar-aramidna.
25 Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear now, O house of Israel: Is not my way equal? are not your ways unequal?
Ngem kunayo, 'Saan a sililinteg nga agtigtignay ti Apo!' Dumngegka, balay ti Israel! Saanak aya a sililinteg nga agtigtignay? Saan aya a dakayo ti saan a sililinteg nga agtigtignay?
26 When the righteous man turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and dieth therein; in his iniquity that he hath done shall he die.
Inton tallikudan ti nalinteg a tao ti kinalintegna ket agbasol, ket matay gapu kadagitoy, matayto ngarud isuna gapu iti basol nga inaramidna.
27 Again, when the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive.
Ngem no tallikudan ti nadangkes a tao dagiti nadangkes nga aramidna ket ipatungpalna ti hustisia ken kinalinteg, mataginayonnanto ngarud ti biagna!
28 Because he considereth, and turneth away from all his transgressions that he hath committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
Ta nakita ken tinallikudanna dagiti panagsalungasing nga inaramidna. Agbiagto isuna; Saanto isuna a matay!
29 Yet saith the house of Israel, The way of the Lord is not equal. O house of Israel, are not my ways equal? are not your ways unequal?
Ngem kuna ti balay ti Israel, 'Saan a sililinteg nga agtigtignay ti Apo!' Kasano a saanak nga agtigtignay a sililinteg, O balay ti Israel? Ken kasano nga agtigtignaykayo a sililinteg?
30 Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord Jehovah. Return ye, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.
Ngarud, ukomekto ti tunggal maysa kadakayo segun kadagiti aramidna, O balay ti Israel! —kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh nga Apo. Agbabawikayo ket tallikudanyo dagiti amin a panagsalungasingyo tapno saan nga agbalin dagitoy a basol a pakaitibkolanyo.
31 Cast away from you all your transgressions, wherein ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
Iwaksiyo dagiti amin a panagsalungasing nga inaramidyo; pabaroenyo ti puso ken espirituyo. Ta apay a rumbeng a mataykayo, O balay ti Israel?
32 For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord Jehovah: wherefore turn yourselves, and live.
Ta saanak nga agragsak iti pannakatay dagiti matay—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh nga Apo—isu nga agbabawikayo ket agbiagkayo!”
