Ezekiel 18
1 A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
Nagsao manen ni Yahweh kaniak a kunana,
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’?
“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, declares the Lord God, you won't quote this proverb in Israel any more.
Iti naganko a sibibiag a Dios—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh nga Apo—saanyonton nga aramatenen daytoy a proberbio iti Israel.
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.
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 Take the example of a man who is a good person, doing what is fair and right.
Ngem no ti maysa a tao ket nalinteg ken ipatpatungpalna ti hustisia ken kinalinteg—
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 What if that man has a son who is a violent criminal, who kills and does do such evil things just listed
Ngem no addaan isuna iti naranggas nga anak a lalaki a mammapatay ken mangar-aramid iti aniaman kadagitoy a banbanag—
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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!
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 But his father will die for his own sins, because he exploited others, robbed his relatives, and did wrong to his own people.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 None of their sins will be held against them. Because they are now doing what's right, they will live.
Amin dagiti basol nga inaaramidna ket saanton a malagip a maibusor kenkuana. Agbiagto isuna babaen iti kinalinteg nga ar-aramidenna.
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!
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 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.
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 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?
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 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.
Inton tallikudan ti nalinteg a tao ti kinalintegna ket agbasol, ket matay gapu kadagitoy, matayto ngarud isuna gapu iti basol nga inaramidna.
27 But if someone wicked stops doing wrong and does what is fair and right, they will save their life.
Ngem no tallikudan ti nadangkes a tao dagiti nadangkes nga aramidna ket ipatungpalna ti hustisia ken kinalinteg, mataginayonnanto ngarud ti biagna!
28 Because they thought about it and gave up their wicked ways, they will certainly live—they won't die.
Ta nakita ken tinallikudanna dagiti panagsalungasing nga inaramidna. Agbiagto isuna; Saanto isuna a matay!
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?
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 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.
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 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?
Iwaksiyo dagiti amin a panagsalungasing nga inaramidyo; pabaroenyo ti puso ken espirituyo. Ta apay a rumbeng a mataykayo, O balay ti Israel?
32 I don't like it when anybody dies, declares the Lord God. So repent so you can live!”
Ta saanak nga agragsak iti pannakatay dagiti matay—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh nga Apo—isu nga agbabawikayo ket agbiagkayo!”
