Ezekiel 18
1 The worde of the Lord came vnto me againe, saying,
Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
2 What meane ye that ye speake this prouerbe, concerning the land of Israel, saying, The fathers haue eaten sowre grapes, and the childrens teeth are set on edge?
“Isin yeroo, “‘Abbootiin ija wayinii dhangaggaaʼaa nyaannaan, ilkaan ijoollee hadoode’ jettanii waaʼee biyya Israaʼel mammaaktan, maal jechuu keessan?
3 As I liue, sayth the Lord God, ye shall vse this prouerbe no more in Israel.
“Ani jiraataadhaatii, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan; isin siʼachi mammaaksa kana Israaʼel keessatti hin mammaaktan.
4 Beholde, all soules are mine, both the soule of the father, and also the soule of the sonne are mine: the soule that sinneth, it shall die.
Lubbuun hundi kan koo ti; akkuma lubbuun abbaa kan koo taate sana lubbuun ilmaas kan koo ti. Lubbuun cubbuu hojjettu ni duuti.
5 But if a man be iust, and doe that which is lawfull, and right,
“Mee nama qajeelaa murtii qajeelaa fi waan qajeelaa hojjetu tokkotu jira haa jennu.
6 And hath not eaten vpon the mountaines, neither hath lift vp his eyes to the idoles of the house of Israel, neither hath defiled his neighbours wife, neither hath lyen with a menstruous woman,
Inni tulluu waaqeffannaa irratti hin nyaatu yookaan waaqota tolfamoo mana Israaʼel hin abdatu. Inni niitii ollaa isaa hin xureessu yookaan dubartii xurii qabdu wajjin hin ciisu.
7 Neither hath oppressed any, but hath restored the pledge to his dettour: he that hath spoyled none by violence, but hath giuen his bread to the hungry, and hath couered the naked with a garment,
Inni nama tokko illee hin cunqursu; garuu waan qabsiisaan liqeeffate ni deebisa. Inni nama hin saamu; garuu nyaata ofii isaa nama beelaʼeef kenna; uffata isaas nama qullaa deemutti uffisa.
8 And hath not giuen foorth vpon vsurie, neither hath taken any increase, but hath withdrawen his hand from iniquitie, and hath executed true iudgement betweene man and man,
Inni hiiqiidhaan namaaf hin liqeessu yookaan dhala nama irraa hin fudhatu. Inni waan hamaa hojjechuu irraa of qusata; nama tokkoo fi nama kaan gidduuttis murtii qajeelaa kenna.
9 And hath walked in my statutes, and hath kept my iudgements to deale truely, he is iust, he shall surely liue, sayth the Lord God.
Inni qajeelfama koo duukaa buʼee seera koos amanamummaadhaan eega. Namni akkasii qajeelaa dha; inni dhugumaan ni jiraata, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.
10 If he beget a sonne, that is a thiefe, or a sheader of blood, if he do any one of these things,
“Mee inni ilma jeequmsa kaasu kan dhiiga namaa dhangalaasu yookaan wantoota kanneen fafakkaatan kan biraa hojjetu qaba haa jennu;
11 Though he doe not all these things, but either hath eaten vpon the mountaines, or defiled his neighbours wife,
abbaan wantoota kanneen keessaa tokko illee gochuu baatu iyyuu, “Ilmi immoo tulluu waaqeffannaa irratti nyaata. Niitii ollaa isaa xureessa.
12 Or hath oppressed the poore and needy, or hath spoyled by violence, or hath not restored the pledge, or hath lift vp his eyes vnto the idoles, or hath committed abomination,
Inni hiyyeeyyii fi rakkattoota cunqursa. Nama saama. Waan qabsiisaan qabate hin deebisu. Gara waaqota tolfamoo ilaala. Wantoota jibbisiisoo hojjeta.
13 Or hath giuen forth vpon vsurie, or hath taken increase, shall he liue? he shall not liue: seeing he hath done all these abominations, he shall die the death, and his blood shall be vpon him.
Inni hiiqiidhaan liqeessee dhala fudhata. Namni akkasii lubbuun ni jiraataa? Hin jiraatu! Inni sababii wantoota jibbisiisoo kanneen hunda hojjeteef dhugumaan ni ajjeefama; dhiigni isaas matuma isaatti deebiʼa.
14 But if he beget a sonne, that seeth all his fathers sinnes, which he hath done, and feareth, neither doeth such like,
“Ilmi kun garuu yoo ilma dhalchee, ilmi sun immoo cubbuu abbaan isaa hojjete hunda utuma arguu sodaatee hojjechuu dhiisa haa jennu:
15 That hath not eaten vpon the mountaines, neither hath lift vp his eyes to the idols of ye house of Israel, nor hath defiled his neighbours wife,
“Inni tulluu waaqeffannaa irratti hin nyaatu yookaan gara waaqota tolfamoo mana Israaʼel hin ilaalu. Niitii ollaa isaas hin xureessu.
16 Neither hath oppressed any, nor hath withholden the pledge, neither hath spoyled by violence, but hath giuen his bread to the hungry, and hath couered the naked with a garment,
Nama tokko illee hin cunqursu yookaan liqii liqeessuuf qabsiisa hin gaafatu. Inni nama hin saamu; garuu nyaata ofii nama beelaʼeef kenna; nama daares daara baasa.
17 Neither hath withdrawen his hand from the afflicted, nor receiued vsurie nor increase, but hath executed my iudgements, and hath walked in my statutes, he shall not die in the iniquitie of his father, but he shall surely liue.
Harka isaa hiyyeeyyii miidhuu irraa eeggata; hiiqii yookaan dhala hin fudhatu. Inni seera koo ni eega; ajajawwan koo duukaas ni buʼa. Inni sababii cubbuu abbaa isaatiif hin duʼu; inni dhugumaan ni jiraata.
18 His father, because he cruelly oppressed and spoyled his brother by violence, and hath not done good among his people, loe, euen he dyeth in his iniquitie.
Abbaan isaa garuu waan nama gowwoomseef, waan obboleessa isaa saamee uummata isaa gidduutti daba hojjeteef cubbuudhuma ofii isaatiin duʼa.
19 Yet say ye, Wherefore shall not the sonne beare the iniquitie of the father? because ye sonne hath executed iudgement and iustice, and hath kept all my statutes, and done them, he shall surely liue,
“Isin garuu, ‘Ilmi maaliif cubbuu abbaa isaatiin hin adabamne?’ jettanii gaafattu. Ilmi sun waan qajeelaa fi sirrii hojjetee ajajawwan koo hundas of eeggannoodhaan eegeef inni dhugumaan lubbuudhaan ni jiraata.
20 The same soule that sinneth, shall die: the sonne shall not beare the iniquitie of the father, neither shall the father beare the iniquitie of the sonne, but the righteousnes of the righteous shall be vpon him, and the wickednesse of the wicked shall be vpon him selfe.
Lubbuun cubbuu hojjettu ni duuti. Ilmi cubbuu abbaa isaatiin hin adabamu yookaan abbaan cubbuu ilma isaatiin hin adabamu. Qajeelinni nama qajeelaa isumaaf taʼa; hamminni nama hamaas isumatti deebiʼa.
21 But if the wicked will returne from all his sinnes that he hath committed, and keepe all my statutes, and doe that which is lawfull and right, he shall surely liue, and shall not die.
“Namni hamaan tokko garuu yoo cubbuu hojjete hunda irraa deebiʼee ajajawwan koo hunda eegee, waan qajeelaa fi waan sirrii hojjete inni dhugumaan ni jiraata; hin duʼus.
22 All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned vnto him, but in his righteousnes that he hath done, he shall liue.
Balleessaa inni hojjete keessaa tokko iyyuu isatti hin herregamu. Sababii wantoota qajeelaa hojjeteef inni lubbuudhaan ni jiraata.
23 Haue I any desire that the wicked should die, sayth the Lord God? or shall he not liue, if he returne from his wayes?
Ani duʼa hamootaatti nan gammadaa? jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan. Qooda kanaa yoo isaan cubbuu isaanii irraa deebiʼanii lubbuudhaan jiraatan ani hin gammaduu?
24 But if the righteous turne away from his righteousnes, and commit iniquitie, and doe according to all the abominations, that the wicked man doeth, shall he liue? all his righteousnes that he hath done, shall not be mentioned: but in his transgression that he hath committed, and in his sinne that he hath sinned, in them shall he die.
“Garuu namni qajeelaan tokko yoo qajeelummaa isaa irraa deebiʼee cubbuu hojjetee wantoota jibbisiisoo namichi hamaan sun hojjechaa ture sana hojjete inni lubbuudhaan ni jiraataa? Waan qajeelaa inni hojjete keessaa tokko iyyuu isaaf hin yaadatamu. Inni sababii amanamuu didee cubbuu hojjeteef ni duʼa.
25 Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equall: heare now, O house of Israel. Is not my way equall? or are not your wayes vnequall?
“Isin garuu, ‘Karaan Gooftaa qajeelaa miti’ jettu. Yaa mana Israaʼel dhagaʼaa: Karaan koo qajeelaa dha mitii? Jalʼaan karaa keessan mitii?
26 For when a righteous man turneth away from his righteousnes, and committeth iniquitie, he shall euen die for the same, he shall euen die for his iniquitie, that he hath done.
Namni qajeelaan yoo qajeelummaa isaa irraa deebiʼee cubbuu hojjete inni cubbuu sanaan ni duʼa. Inni sababii cubbuu hojjete sanaatiif ni duʼa.
27 Againe when the wicked turneth away from his wickednes that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawfull and right, he shall saue his soule aliue.
Namni hamaan tokko garuu yoo hammina isaa irraa deebiʼee murtii qajeelaa fi waan qajeelaa hojjete inni lubbuu isaa ni oolfata.
28 Because he considereth, and turneth away from all his transgressions that hee hath committed, he shall surely liue and shall not die.
Inni sababii yakka hojjete hunda hubatee irraa deebiʼeef dhugumaan lubbuudhaan ni jiraata; hin duʼus.
29 Yet saith ye house of Israel, The way of the Lord is not equall. O house of Israel, are not my wayes equall? or are not your wayes vnequall?
Taʼu illee manni Israaʼel, ‘Karaan Gooftaa qajeelaa miti’ jedha. Yaa mana Israaʼel, karaan koo qajeelaa dha mitii? Jalʼaan karaa keessan mitii?
30 Therefore I will iudge you, O house of Israel, euery one according to his wayes, sayth the Lord God: returne therefore and cause others to turne away from all your transgressions: so iniquitie shall not be your destruction.
“Kanaafuu yaa mana Israaʼel, ani tokkoo tokkoo keessanitti akkuma hojii keessaniitti nan mura, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan. Qalbii jijjiirradhaa! Yakka keessan hunda irraa deebiʼaa; yoos isin cubbuudhaan hin baddan.
31 Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye haue transgressed, and make you a newe heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
Daba natti hojjettan hunda of irraa gataatii garaa haaraa fi hafuura haaraa qabaadhaa. Yaa mana Israaʼel isin maaliif duutu?
32 For I desire not the death of him that dyeth, sayth the Lord God: cause therefore one another to returne, and liue ye.
Ani duʼa nama kamiitti iyyuu hin gammaduutii, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan. Qalbii jijjiirradhaatii lubbuudhaan jiraadhaa!
