Ezekiel 18
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Nagsao manen ni Yahweh kaniak a kunana,
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.’
“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, says the Lord God, this parable shall no longer be a proverb for you 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. 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.
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 And if a man is just, and he accomplishes judgment and justice,
Ngem no ti maysa a tao ket nalinteg ken ipatpatungpalna ti hustisia ken kinalinteg—
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,
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 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,
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 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,
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 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.
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 But if he raises a son who is a robber, who sheds blood, and who does any of these things,
Ngem no addaan isuna iti naranggas nga anak a lalaki a mammapatay ken mangar-aramid iti aniaman kadagitoy a banbanag—
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,
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 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,
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 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.
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 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,
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 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,
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 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,
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 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.
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 oppressed and did violence to his brother, and worked evil in the midst of his people, behold, he has died by his own 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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 I will not remember all his iniquities, which he has worked; by his justice, which he has worked, he shall live.
Amin dagiti basol nga inaaramidna ket saanton a malagip a maibusor kenkuana. Agbiagto isuna babaen iti kinalinteg nga ar-aramidenna.
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?
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 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.
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 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?
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 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.
Inton tallikudan ti nalinteg a tao ti kinalintegna ket agbasol, ket matay gapu kadagitoy, matayto ngarud isuna gapu iti basol nga inaramidna.
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.
Ngem no tallikudan ti nadangkes a tao dagiti nadangkes nga aramidna ket ipatungpalna ti hustisia ken kinalinteg, mataginayonnanto ngarud ti biagna!
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.
Ta nakita ken tinallikudanna dagiti panagsalungasing nga inaramidna. Agbiagto isuna; Saanto isuna a matay!
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?
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, 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.
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 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?
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 do not desire the death of one who dies, says the Lord God. So return and live.”
Ta saanak nga agragsak iti pannakatay dagiti matay—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh nga Apo—isu nga agbabawikayo ket agbiagkayo!”
