Ezekiel 18
1 The word of the Lord came to me again, saying,
И бысть слово Господне ко мне глаголя:
2 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?
сыне человечь, что вам притча сия на земли Израилеве, глаголющым: отцы ядоша терпкое, а зубом чад их оскомины быша?
3 By my life, says the Lord, you will no longer have this saying in Israel.
Живу Аз, глаголет Адонаи Господь, аще будет еще глаголема притча сия во Израили.
4 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.
Яко вся душы Моя суть, якоже душа отча, тако и душа сыновня, Моя суть: душа, яже согрешит, та умрет, и зобавшаго пародки зубы оскоминны будут.
5 But if a man is upright, living rightly and doing righteousness,
Человек же, иже есть праведен творяй суд и правду,
6 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;
на горах не снесть и очес своих не воздвигнет на кумиры дому Израилева, и жены ближняго своего не осквернавит и к жене в месячных сущей не приближится,
7 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;
и человеку не насильствует, залог должнику отдаст и хищением не восхитит, хлеб свой алчному даст и нагаго облечет в ризу,
8 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,
и сребра своего в лихву не даст и прибытка не возмет, и от неправды отвратит руку свою и суд сотворит между мужем и ближним своим,
9 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.
и в заповедех Моих ходил и оправдания Моя снабдел, еже творити та: праведен сей есть, жизнию жити имать, глаголет Адонаи Господь.
10 If he has a son who is a thief, a taker of life, who does any of these things,
И аще родит сына губителя, проливающаго кровь и творяща грехи,
11 Who has taken flesh with the blood as food, and has had connection with his neighbour's wife,
в путь отца своего праведнаго не ходил, но и на горах пожре, и жену ближняго своего осквернавил,
12 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,
и убогаго и нищаго преобиде, и хищением восхитил и залога не отдал, и к кумиром положи очи свои, беззакония сотвори,
13 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.
с лихвою даде и с примножением приял, сей жизнию не поживет: вся сия беззакония сотвори, смертию умрет, кровь его на нем будет.
14 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:
Аще же родит сына, он же увидит вся грехи отца своего, яже сотворил есть, и убоится и не сотворит по ним,
15 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,
на горах не снесть и очес своих не положит к кумиром дому Израилева, и жены подруга своего не осквернавит
16 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;
и человека не насильствует, и залога не удержит и хищением не восхитит, хлеб свои алчному даст и нага одеет ризою,
17 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.
и от неправды отвратит руку свою, лихвы и примножения не возмет, правду сотворит и в заповедех Моих ходити будет: не скончается в неправдах отца своего, (но) жизнию поживет.
18 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.
Отец же его аще скорбию оскорбит и хищением восхитит, сопротивная сотворит посреде людий Моих, и умрет в неправдах своих.
19 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.
И речете: что яко не взя сын неправды отца своего? Понеже сын правду и милость сотвори, вся законы Моя соблюде и сотвори я, жизнию поживет.
20 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.
Душа же согрешающая, та умрет: сын не возмет неправды отца своего, и отец не возмет неправды сына своего: правда праведнаго на нем будет, и беззаконие беззаконника на нем будет.
21 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.
И беззаконник аще обратится от всех беззаконий своих, яже сотворил, и сохранит вся заповеди Моя и сотворит суд и правду и милость, жизнию поживет и не умрет:
22 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.
вся согрешения его, елика сотворил, не помянутся ему: но в правде своей, юже сотворил, жив будет.
23 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?
Еда хотением восхощу смерти грешника, глаголет Адонаи Господь, а не еже обратитися ему от пути зла и живу быти ему?
24 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.
И аще совратится праведник от правды своея и сотворит неправду по всем беззаконием, яже сотворил беззаконник, вся правды его, яже сотворил есть, не помянутся: в преступлении своем, имже преступи, и во гресех своих, имиже согреши, в них умрет.
25 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?
И рекосте: не управится путь Господень. Слышите убо, весь дом Израилев, еда путь мой не управится? Ваш ли путь убо управится?
26 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.
Егда совратится праведник от правды своея и сотворит грех, и умрет в преступлении, еже сотворил, в том умрет.
27 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.
И егда обратится беззаконник от беззакония своего, еже сотворил, и сотворит суд и правду, той душу свою снабдел есть:
28 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.
и виде и обратися от всех беззаконии своих, яже сотвори, жизнию поживет и не умрет.
29 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?
И глаголет дом Израилев: не управится путь Господень. Еда путь Мой не управляется? О, доме Израилев, убо ваш ли путь управляется?
30 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.
(Сего ради) комуждо по пути его сужду вам, доме Израилев, глаголет Адонаи Господь: обратитеся и отвержитеся от всех нечестий ваших, и не будут вам неправды в мучение:
31 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?
отвержите от себе вся нечестия ваша, имиже нечествовасте ко Мне, и сотворите себе сердце ново и дух нов, и сотворите вся заповеди Моя: и вскую умираете, доме Израилев? Глаголет Господь.
32 For I have no pleasure in the death of him on whom death comes, says the Lord: be turned back then, and have life.
Понеже не хощу смерти грешника умирающаго, глаголет Адонаи Господь, но еже обратитися ему от пути своего и жити души его, глаголет Адонаи Господь: обратитеся убо, и живи будете.
