Ezekiel 18

1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

Hina Gode da nama amane sia: i,

2 “Why is it that you circulate among yourselves this parable, as a proverb in the land of Israel, saying: ‘The fathers ate a bitter grape, and the teeth of the sons have been affected.’

“Dunu da Isala: ili soge amo ganodini, amo malasu gebewane sia: nana, amane, ‘Edala emela da gamogai waini efe fage mai, be ilia mano fawane da naba: loba gamogai nabi.’”

3 As I live, says the Lord God, this parable shall no longer be a proverb for you in Israel.

Ouligisudafa Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Na da Fifi Ahoanusu Gode, amola Na da amane sia: sa, ‘Amo malasu, dilia Isala: ili soge ganodini hamedafa bu sia: mu.’

4 Behold, all souls are mine. Just as the soul of the father is mine, so also is the soul of the son. The soul that sins, the same shall die.

Na fawane da dunu huluane ilia esalusu, edala, emela amola mano, Na fawane ouligisa. Nowa dunu da wadela: le hamosea, hisu fawane da bogosu ba: mu.

5 And if a man is just, and he accomplishes judgment and justice,

Moloidafa ida: iwane dunu ea hou ba: ma.

6 and if he does not eat upon the mountains, nor lift up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, and if he has not violated the wife of his neighbor, nor approached a menstruating woman,

E da Isala: ili ilia loboga hamoi ‘gode’ ilima nodone hame sia: ne gadosa. E da gobele salasu amo sema oloda amoma i, hame naha. E da inia uda hame wamolasa, amola uda da sioi fisia, ema gilisili hame golasa.

7 and if he has not grieved any man, but has restored the collateral to the debtor, if he has seized nothing by violence, has given his bread to the hungry, and has covered the naked with a garment,

E da enoma hame ogogosa, amola inia liligi hame wamolasa. Dunu da ema muni bu ima: ne labeba: le, ema liligi iasea, e da amo liligi hame gagulaligisa. E da ha: i dunuma, ha: i manu iaha, amola da: i nabado dunuma abula iaha.

8 if he has not lent upon usury, nor taken any increase, if he has averted his hand from iniquity, and has executed true judgment between man and man,

E da dabe eno baligili lama: ne, muni hame iaha. Dunu eno da ea wadela: le hamomusa: sia: sea, e da hame hamomu sia: sa. Fofada: su ganodini, e da molole adole iaha.

9 if he has walked in my precepts and kept my judgments, so that he acts in accord with truth, then he is just; he shall certainly live, says the Lord God.

Amaiwane dunu da malei sia: , amola Na sema noga: le nabawane hamosa. Ea hou da moloiba: le, e da esalumu,” Ouligisu Hina Gode da amane sia: i.

10 But if he raises a son who is a robber, who sheds blood, and who does any of these things,

Be amo dunu da mano galea, amo da wamolasu amola medole legesu, amola wadela: i hou ea ada hame hamoi liligi hamosa,

11 (even though he himself does not do any of these things, ) and who eats upon the mountains, and who defiles the wife of his neighbor,

amola e da gobele salasu amo sema oloda sogebi amoma i naha, amola inia uda adole laha,

12 who grieves the needy and the poor, who seizes with violence, who does not restore the collateral, and who lifts up his eyes to idols, committing abomination,

amola hame gagui dunuma ogogosa, amola liligi wamolasa, amola bu ima: ne i liligi wamolasa. E da Gode higa: i dunu ilia loboga hamoi ogogosu ‘gode’ ilia sogebi ahoasea, amo liligima nodone sia: ne gadosa.

13 who lends upon usury, and who takes an increase, then shall he live? He shall not live. Since he has done all these detestable things, he shall certainly die. His blood shall be upon him.

E da muni eno baligili lamusa: eno dunuma iaha. Amo mano da esaloma: bela: ? Hamefa! E da amo wadela: i hou hamobeba: le, bogomu. E da hi baiga bogomu.

14 But if he raises a son, who, seeing all his father’s sins that he has done, is afraid and so does not act in a way similar to him,

Defea! Eno dunu afae ea hou dawa: ma! Amo wadela: i dunu egefe da eada ea wadela: i hou ba: beba: le, amo higasea ema hame fa: no bobogesa.

15 who does not eat upon the mountains, nor lift up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, and who does not violate the wife of his neighbor,

E da Isala: ili ilia loboga hamoi ‘gode’ ilima nodone hame sia: ne gadosa. E da gobele salasu amo sema oloda amoma i, hame naha. E da inia uda hame wamolasa, amola uda da sioi fisia, ema gilisili hame golasa. E da enoma hame ogogosa, amola inia liligi hame wamolasa. Dunu da ema muni bu ima: ne labeba: le, ema liligi iasea, e da amo liligi hame gagulaligisa. E da ha: i dunuma ha: i manu iaha, amola da: i nabado dunuma abula iaha. E da baligili eno lama: ne, muni hame iaha. Dunu eno da ea wadela: le hamomusa: sia: sea, e da hame hamomu sia: sa. Fofada: su ganodini, e da molole adole iaha. Amaiwane dunu da malei sia: amola Na sema noga: le nabawane hamosa. E da ea eda ea wadela: i hou hamoiba: le hame bogomu. E da dafawane fifi ahoanumu.

16 and who has not grieved any man, nor withheld the collateral, nor seized by violence, but instead has given his bread to the hungry, and has covered the naked with a garment,

17 who has averted his hand from injuring the poor, who has not taken usury and an overabundance, who has acted according to my judgments and walked in my precepts, then this one shall not die for the iniquity of his father; instead, he shall certainly live.

18 As for his father, because he oppressed and did violence to his brother, and worked evil in the midst of his people, behold, he has died by his own iniquity.

Be ea eda da ogogoi, amola wamolai, amola eno dunuma wadela: le hamosu. Amaiba: le, e da hi wadela: i hou hamobeba: le, bogoi dagoi.

19 And you say, ‘Why has not the son borne the iniquity of the father?’ Clearly, since the son has worked judgment and justice, has observed all my precepts, and has done them, he shall certainly live.

Be dilia da amane adole ba: sa, ‘Egefe da eada wadela: i hou hamobeba: le, abuliba: le se iasu hame labala?’ Bai egefe da moloidafa hou hamoiba: le, se bidi iasu hame lai, amola e da esalumu.

20 The soul that sins, the same shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, and the father shall not bear the iniquity of the son. The justice of the just man shall be upon himself, but the impiety of the impious man shall be upon himself.

Wadela: i hou hamobe dunu amo fawane da bogomu. Egefe da eda ea wadela: le hamobeba: le, se hame nabimu. Amola eda da egefe wadela: le hamobeba: le, se nabimu da hamedei. Dunu noga: i da noga: i hou hamosea, hahawane bidi lamu amola wadela: i dunu da wadela: le hamosea, e da se bidi iasu ba: mu.

21 But if the impious man does penance for all his sins which he has committed, and if he keeps all my precepts, and accomplishes judgment and justice, then he shall certainly live, and he shall not die.

Wadela: i dunu da wadela: i hou yolesili, Na malei nabawane hamosea, amola hou moloiwane hamosea, bogosu mae ba: le, esalumu.

22 I will not remember all his iniquities, which he has worked; by his justice, which he has worked, he shall live.

Na da ea wadela: i hou huluane gogolema: ne olofomu. Amasea, e da esalumu. Bai e da moloiwane hamoiba: le.

23 How could it be my will that an impious man should die, says the Lord God, and not that he should be converted from his ways and live?

Dia dawa: loba da wadela: i hamosu dunu bogosea, Na da hahawane ba: sala: ? Hamefa! Be e da sinidigili, esaloma: ne, Na da hanai, “Ouligisu Hina Gode da amane sia: sa.

24 But if a just man turns himself away from his justice, and does iniquity in accord with all the abominations that the impious man so often does, why should he live? All his justices, which he has accomplished, shall not be remembered. By the transgression, in which he has transgressed, and by his sin, in which he has sinned, by these he shall die.

Be moloidafa dunu da moloi hou fisili, wadela: i dunu ilia wadela: idafa hou defele hamosea, e da esaloma: bela: ? Hamefa! Na da ea musa: moloi hou hamoi amo bu hame dawa: mu. E da didili hame hamobeba: le amola wadela: le hamobeba: le, bogosu ba: mu.

25 And you have said, ‘The way of the Lord is not fair.’ Therefore, listen, O house of Israel. How could it be that my way is not fair? And is it not instead your ways that are perverse?

Be dilia da amane sia: sa, ‘Hina Gode Ea hou da moloi hame.’ Isala: ili dunu dilia! Na sia: nabima! Dilia dawa: loba, Na hamobe da moloi hamela: ? Hame mabu! Dilia hou fawane da moloi hame!

26 For when the just man turns himself away from his justice, and commits iniquity, he shall die by this; by the injustice that he has worked, he shall die.

Moloidafa dunu da moloi hou fisili, wadela: i hou hamonanea, e da ea wadela: i hou hamobeba: le bogomu.

27 And when the impious man turns himself away from his impiety, which he has done, and accomplishes judgment and justice, he shall cause his own soul to live.

Be wadela: i hamosu dunu da wadela: i hou fisili, bu moloi hou hamonanea, e da ea esalusu gaga: i dagoi ba: mu.

28 For by considering and turning himself away from all his iniquities, which he has worked, he shall certainly live, and he shall not die.

E da wadela: i hou hamonana, amo hi dawa: digibiba: le, yolesisa. Amaiba: le, e da mae bogole esalumu.

29 And yet the sons of Israel say, ‘The way of the Lord is not fair.’ How could it be that my ways are not fair, O house of Israel? And is it not instead your ways that are perverse?

Be dilia Isala: ili dunu da ‘Hina Gode Ea hou da moloi hame’ sia: sa. Dilia dawa: loba da Na hou da moloi hame dawa: bela: ? Be dilia hou fawane da moloi hame.

30 Therefore, O house of Israel, I will judge each one according to his ways, says the Lord God. Be converted, and do penance for all your iniquities, and then iniquity will not be your ruin.

Wali, Na, Ouligisudafa Hina Gode da dilia Isala: ili dunuma amane sia: sa, ‘Na da dilia afae afae dilia hamoi defele dilima fofada: mu. Dilia wadela: i hou fisima! Dilia wadela: i hou amoga dilila: mae wadela: lesima: ma.

31 Cast all your transgressions, by which you have transgressed, away from you, and make for yourselves a new heart and a new spirit. And then why should you die, O house of Israel?

Dilia wadela: i hou hamonanea yolesima. Asigi dawa: su gaheabolo amola dogo gaheabolo lama. Dilia Isala: ili dunu abuliba: le bogomusa: hanabela: ?”

32 For I do not desire the death of one who dies, says the Lord God. So return and live.”

Ouligisudafa Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Na da diliga afae bogomu higa: i hodosa. Dilia wadela: i hou yolesili, fifi ahoanusu lama!”
