< Jezekiel 18 >

1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Angraeng ih lok kai khaeah angzoh,
2 Son of man, what mean ye by this parable among the children of Israel, saying, The fathers have eaten unripe grapes, and the children's teeth have been set on edge?
ampanawk mah kathaw misurtui to naek o moe, a caanawk haa kin o, tiah Israel prae thungah na patoh ih palungha lok mah thuikoehhaih loe tih maw?
3 [As] I live, saith the Lord, surely this parable shall no more be spoken in Israel.
Angraeng Sithaw mah, Kai ka hing baktiah, Israel prae thungah to palungha lok patohhaih om mak ai boeh.
4 For all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son, they are mine: the soul that sins, it shall die.
Khenah, kahing pakhra boih loe kai ih ni; ampa ih pakhra loe Kai ih pakhra ah oh baktih toengah, a capa ih pakhra doeh Kai ih ni; kazae pakhra loe duek han oh, tiah thuih.
5 But the man who shall be just, who executes judgment and righteousness,
Toe katoeng poekhaih, kahoih hmuen hoi patuk ih lok baktiah toksah kami loe,
6 who shall not eat upon the mountains, and shall not at all lift up his eyes to the devices of the house of Israel, and shall not defile his neighbor's wife, and shall not draw nigh to her that is removed,
maenawk nuiah buhcaa mak ai, Israel imthung takoh ih krangnawk doeh khen mak ai, a imtaeng kami ih zu doeh zae haih mak ai, athii kahnu nongpata khaeah doeh caeh mak ai.
7 and shall not oppress any man, [but] shall return the pledge of the debtor, and shall be guilty of no plunder, shall give his bread to the hungry, and clothe the naked;
Mi kawbaktih doeh pacaekthlaek mak ai, laiba tawnkung mah lokmaihaih to sak moe, akrang let hanah a pawng ih hmuen to paek let, minawk ih hmuen to lomh ai, zok amthlam kaminawk to caaknaek a paek moe, bangkrai ah kaom kaminawk to khukbuen a paek;
8 and shall not lend his money upon usury, and shall not receive usurious increase, and shall turn back his hand from injustice, shall execute righteous judgment between a man and his neighbor,
a caa kapung lak han ih minawk han hmuenmae to coisak ai, kapung a caa doeh la ai, kahoih ai hmuen to sah ai, kami boih nuiah toenghaih hoiah lok takroek, tiah thuih:
9 and has walked in my commandments and kept mine ordinances, to do them; he is righteous, he shall surely live, saith the Lord.
ka patuk ih loknawk to pazui moe, ka lokcaekhaih to pakuem, anih loe katoengah toksak moe, katoeng kami ah oh pongah, anih loe hing tangtang tih, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
10 And if he beget a mischievous son, shedding blood and committing sins,
Toe anih ih capa loe minawk ih hmuenmae lomh thaih kami, kami hum kami, kahoih ai hmuennawk sah kami,
11 who has not walked in the way of his righteous father, but has even eaten upon the mountains, and has defiled his neighbor's wife,
a sak han koi tok maeto doeh sah ai, maenawk nuiah buhcaa kami, a imtaeng kami ih zu parueng pae kami;
12 and has oppressed the poor and needy, and has committed robbery, and not restored a pledge, and has set his eyes upon idols, has wrought iniquities,
kamtang hoi kavawt kaminawk to pacaekthlaek moe, minawk ih hmuenmae lomh kami, paek let han lokmaih moe, pawng ih hmuennawk paek let ai kami, krangnawk to a bok moe, panuet thok hmuennawk sah kami;
13 has lent upon usury, and taken usurious increase; he shall by no means live: he has wrought all these iniquities; he shall surely die; his blood shall be upon him.
a caa kapung to caak hanah minawk khaeah hmuen coisak moe, a caa kapung la kami loe hing tih maw? Hing mak ai! Panuet thok hae baktih hmuennawk to a sak pongah, anih loe dueh tangtang tih; anih ih athii loe angmah nuiah krah tih.
14 And if he beget a son, and [the son] see all his father's sins which he has wrought, and fear, and not do according to them,
Toe to kami ih capa loe ampa mah sak ih zaehaihnawk to a hnuk boih, kho a poek moe, to baktih zaehaihnawk to sah ai,
15 and [if he] has not eaten on the mountains, and has not set his eyes on the devices of the house of Israel, and has not defiled his neighbor's wife,
maenawk nuiah buh to caa ai, Israel imthung takoh mah bok ih krangnawk doeh bok ai, a imtaeng kami ih zu doeh parueng ai;
16 and has not oppressed a man, and has not retained the pledge, nor committed robbery, has given his bread to the hungry, and has clothed the naked,
mi kawbaktih kami doeh pacaekthlaek ai, paek let han loksuek ih baktiah pawng ih hmuenmaenawk to la ai, mi ih hmuenmae doeh lomh ai, zok amthlam kami han caaknaek paek kami, bangkrai ah kaom kaminawk han doeh khukbuen paek kami;
17 and has turned back his hand from unrighteousness, has not received interest or usurious increase, has wrought righteousness, and walked in mine ordinances; he shall not die for the iniquities of his father, he shall surely live.
amtang kaminawk han hmuenmae paek kami, acaa kapung phoisa to la ai, ka lokcaekhaih to pakuem moe, ka paek ih lok pazui kami loe ampa zaehaih pongah dueh mak ai, hing tangtang tih.
18 But if his father grievously afflict, or plunder, he has wrought enmity in the midst of my people, and shall die in his iniquity.
Toe anih ih ampa loe angmah ih amnawk to pacaekthlaek moe, angmah ih kaminawk nuiah kahoih ai hmuen to sak pongah, khenah, anih loe a zaehaih baktiah dueh tih.
19 But ye will say, Why has not the son borne the iniquity of the father? Because the son has wrought judgment and mercy, has kept all my statues, and done them, he shall surely live.
Toe nangcae mah loe, Tikhoe ampa mah sak ih zaehaih to a capa mah zok ai loe? tiah na thui o tih. A capa loe katoeng hmuen hoi patuk ih lok baktiah tok a sak, ka paek ih loknawk to pazui moe, a sak pongah, anih loe hing tangtang tih.
20 But the soul that sins shall die: and the son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, nor shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the iniquity of the transgressor shall be upon him.
Kazae pakhra loe dueh tih. Ampa mah sak ih zaehaih to a capa mah zok mak ai, a capa mah sak ih zaehaih doeh ampa mah zok mak ai; katoeng kami toenghaih loe a nuiah om ueloe, kasae kami sehaih doeh angmah nuiah ni om tih.
21 And if the transgressor turn away from all his iniquities which he has committed, and keep all my commandments, and do justice and mercy, he shall surely live, and shall by no means die.
Toe kami zae loe a sak ih zaehaihnawk boih hoiah amlaem, ka paek ih loknawk boih to pakuem moe, katoeng hmuen hoi patuk ih lok baktiah tok to sah nahaeloe, anih loe hing tangtang tih, dueh mak ai.
22 None of his trespasses which he has committed shall be remembers: in his righteousness which he has done he shall live.
Anih mah sak ih zaehaihnawk boih to pakuem pae mak ai boeh; anih loe a sak ih katoeng hmuen pongah hing tih.
23 Shall I at all desire death of the sinner, saith the Lord, as I [desire] that he should turn from [his] evil way, and live?
Kazae kami duek pongah palung kang hoe maw? Anih mah a caehhaih loklam angqoi taak moe, hinghaih hnuk to ka koeh haih kue na ai maw? tiah Angraeng Sithaw mah thuih.
24 But when the righteous man turns away from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, according to all the transgressions which the transgressor has wrought, none of his righteousness which he has wrought shall be at all remembered: in his trespass wherein he has trespassed, and in his sins wherein he has sinned, in them shall he die.
Toe katoeng kami loe a toenghaih hoiah angqoi ving moe, kasae kaminawk mah sak o ih zaehaih hoi panuet thok hmuennawk to sah nahaeloe, anih to hing tih maw? Canghnii ah a sak ih katoeng hmuennawk to pakuem pae mak ai boeh; a sakpazaehaih hmuen hoiah a sak ih zaehaih pongah, anih loe dueh tih.
25 Yet ye have said, The way of the Lord is not straight. Hear now, all the house of Israel; will not my way be straight? Is your way straight?
Toe nangcae mah loe, Angraeng ih loklam loe toeng ai, tiah na thuih o. Aw Israel imthung takohnawk, tahngai ah; Kai ih loklam loe toeng, nangcae ih loklam loe toeng ai!
26 When the righteous turns away from his righteousness and commits a trespass, and dies in the trespass he has committed, he shall [even] die in it.
Katoeng kami loe a toenghaih to caehtaak moe, zaehaih sah nahaeloe, to zaehaih pongah dueh tih, anih loe a sak ih zaehaih pongah dueh tih.
27 And when the wicked man turns away from his wickedness that he has committed, and shall do judgment and justice, he has kept his soul,
Toe kami zae loe a sak ih zaehaih to angqoi taak moe, katoeng hmuen hoi patuk ih lok baktiah toksah nahaeloe, a hinghaih to pahlong tih.
28 and has turned away from all his ungodliness which he has committed: he shall surely live, he shall not die.
A sakpazae ih hmuennawk boih to a poek het moe, a toengh sut boeh pongah, anih loe hing tangtang tih, dueh mak ai.
29 Yet the house of Israel say, The way of the Lord is not right. Is not my way right, O house of Israel? is not your way wrong?
Toe Israel imthung takoh mah loe, Angraeng ih loklam loe toeng ai, tiah thuih o. Aw Israel imthung takoh, Kai ih loklam loe toeng, nangcae ih loklam loe toeng ai!
30 I will judge you, O house of Israel, saith the Lord, each one according to his way: be converted, and turn from all your ungodliness, and it shall not become to you the punishment of iniquity.
To pongah, Aw Israel imthung takoh, kami boih a caehhaih loklam baktih toengah lok ka caek han, tiah Angraeng Sithaw mah thuih. Dawnpakhuem oh loe, na sakpazae o ih hmuennawk boih thung hoiah amlaem oh; to tiah nahaeloe na sakpazae o ih hmuennawk loe nam rohaih ah om mak ai.
31 Cast away from yourselves all your ungodliness wherein ye have sinned against me; and make to yourselves a new heart and a new spirit: for why should ye die, O house of Israel?
Na sakpazae ih hmuennawk to takhoe o boih loe, kangtha palungthin hoi muithla to talawk oh; Aw Israel imthung takoh, tipongah na duek o han loe?
32 For I desire not the death of him that dies, saith the Lord.
Dueh kami duekhaih pongah palung Kang hoe ai, to pongah dawnpakhuem oh loe, hing oh! tiah Angraeng Sithaw mah thuih.
