Ezekiel 18
1 A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
Hina Gode da nama amane sia: i,
2 “What's this proverb you people are quoting about the country of Israel: ‘The fathers ate the unripe grapes, but their children got the sour taste’?
“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, declares the Lord God, you won't quote this proverb in Israel any more.
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 Can't you see that everyone belongs to me? Whether parents or children, they are all mine. It's the person who sins who will 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 Take the example of a man who is a good person, doing what is fair and right.
Moloidafa ida: iwane dunu ea hou ba: ma.
6 He doesn't go to the pagan shrines in the mountains to eat a religious meal, or worship Israel's idols. He doesn't have sex with someone else's wife or with a woman during her period.
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 He doesn't exploit anyone. He gives back what a debtor has given him as security. He doesn't rob others. He feeds the hungry and clothes the naked.
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 He doesn't lend with interest or make a profit from loans. He refuses to do wrong and makes sure he's truly fair in his decisions between people.
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 He follows my rules and keeps my regulations faithfully. Such a man lives by what's right and he will certainly live, declares 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 What if that man has a son who is a violent criminal, who kills and does do such evil things just listed
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 the father doesn't act like that at all. The son goes to the pagan shrines in the mountains to eat a religious meal. He has sex with someone else's wife.
amola e da gobele salasu amo sema oloda sogebi amoma i naha, amola inia uda adole laha,
12 He exploits the poor and those in need. He robs others, and he doesn't give back what a debtor has given him as security. He worships idols. He commits disgusting sins.
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 He lends with interest and makes a profit from loans. Is someone like this going to live? No, he won't! Because he has done all these offensive things, he will die for certain, and he will be responsible for his own death.
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 Now what if this man has a son who sees all the sins his father has committed. He sees them but doesn't do the same.
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 He doesn't go to the pagan shrines in the mountains to eat a religious meal, or worship Israel's idols. He doesn't have sex with someone else's wife.
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 He doesn't exploit anyone. He doesn't demand security for a loan. He doesn't rob others. He feeds the hungry and clothes the naked.
17 He refuses to do wrong and does not charge interest or make a profit on loans. He keeps my regulations and follows my laws. A man like that won't die because of his father's sins, he will certainly live!
18 But his father will die for his own sins, because he exploited others, robbed his relatives, and did wrong to his own people.
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 You ask, ‘Why shouldn't the son pay for his father's sins?’ If the son has done what is fair and right, keeping all my laws, then he'll live, he won't be punished.
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 It's the person who sins who will die. A son won't pay for his father's sins, and a father won't pay for his son's sins. The good consequences of living right will come to those who are good; the evil consequences of wickedness will come to those who are evil.
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 However, if someone who is wicked stops sinning and keeps my laws, doing what is fair and right, they will certainly live—they won't die.
Wadela: i dunu da wadela: i hou yolesili, Na malei nabawane hamosea, amola hou moloiwane hamosea, bogosu mae ba: le, esalumu.
22 None of their sins will be held against them. Because they are now doing what's right, they will live.
Na da ea wadela: i hou huluane gogolema: ne olofomu. Amasea, e da esalumu. Bai e da moloiwane hamoiba: le.
23 Do I like it when wicked people die? declares the Lord God. Of course not—I would be delighted if they stopped sinning and lived!
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 someone who is living according to what's right stops and does wrong, doing the same offensive things as the wicked, will that person live? Of course not! In fact, all the good things they did previously will be forgotten. That person will die because of their betrayal of me and the sins they've committed.
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 Even so you say, ‘What the Lord does isn't right.’ People of Israel, listen to me! Is it what I'm doing that isn't right? Isn't it what you're doing that isn't right?
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 If someone who lives according to what's right stops doing right and does wrong, they will die. They will die because of wrong things they've done.
Moloidafa dunu da moloi hou fisili, wadela: i hou hamonanea, e da ea wadela: i hou hamobeba: le bogomu.
27 But if someone wicked stops doing wrong and does what is fair and right, they will save their life.
Be wadela: i hamosu dunu da wadela: i hou fisili, bu moloi hou hamonanea, e da ea esalusu gaga: i dagoi ba: mu.
28 Because they thought about it and gave up their wicked ways, they will certainly live—they won't die.
E da wadela: i hou hamonana, amo hi dawa: digibiba: le, yolesisa. Amaiba: le, e da mae bogole esalumu.
29 But the people of Israel say, ‘The Lord's way isn't right.’ Are my ways unfair, people of Israel? Isn't it your ways that aren't fair?
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 Consequently I'm going to judge you, people of Israel! I will judge each of you depending on what you've done, declares the Lord God. Repent and stop rebelling so that your sins won't bring you down.
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 Get rid of all your rebellious sins! Change your way of thinking and have a new spirit. Why do you want to die, people 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 I don't like it when anybody dies, declares the Lord God. So repent so you can live!”
Ouligisudafa Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Na da diliga afae bogomu higa: i hodosa. Dilia wadela: i hou yolesili, fifi ahoanusu lama!”
