Ezekiel 18
1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
Ary tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
2 'What mean ye, that ye use this proverb in the land of Israel, saying: The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge?
Nahoana no manao izao ohabolana izao ao amin’ ny tanin’ ny Isiraely ianareo: Ny ray no mihinana voaloboka maharikivy, ka ny nifin’ ny zanany no madilo?
3 As I live, saith the Lord GOD, ye shall not have occasion any more to use this proverb in Israel.
Rana velona koa Aho, hoy Jehovah Tompo, tsy hisy hanaovanareo izany ohabolana izany ao amin’ ny Isiraely intsony.
4 Behold, all souls are Mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is Mine; the soul that sinneth, it shall die.
Indro, Ahy ny fanahy rehetra: toy ny fanahin’ ny ray, dia toy izany koa ny fanahin’ ny zanany; samy Ahy ireny; ny fanahy izay manota no ho faty.
5 But if a man be just, and do that which is lawful and right,
Fa raha marina ny olona ka manao izay marina sy mahitsy,
6 and hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, neither hath defiled his neighbour's wife, neither hath come near to a woman in her impurity;
fa tsy mihinana eny an-tendrombohitra, na manandratra ny masony ho amin’ ny sampin’ ny taranak’ Isiraely, na mandoto ny vadin’ ny namany, na manakaiky ny vehivavy izay mararin’ ny fadim-bolana,
7 and hath not wronged any, but hath restored his pledge for a debt, hath taken nought by robbery, hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment;
na mampahory olona, fa mamerina ny natao tsatòka, ary tsy mandroba, fa manome ny haniny ho an’ ny noana ary manafy lamba ny matanjaka,
8 he that hath not given forth upon interest, neither hath taken any increase, that hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity, hath executed true justice between man and man,
tsy mampanàna vola, na maka tombony akory, fa miaro ny tanany tsy hanao ratsy ary manao fitsarana marina amin’ ny miady,
9 hath walked in My statutes, and hath kept Mine ordinances, to deal truly; he is just, he shall surely live, saith the Lord GOD.
ary mandeha araka ny lalàko sy ny mitandrina ny fitsipiko ka manao izay marina, dia marina izy ka ho velona tokoa, hoy i; Jehovah Tompo.
10 If he beget a son that is a robber, a shedder of blood, and that doeth to a brother any of these things,
Fa raha miteraka zazalahy mpanao an-keriny sy mpandatsa-drà izy, ka manao na dia iray ihany amin’ ireo zavatra ireo aza iny
11 whereas he himself had not done any of these things, for he hath even eaten upon the mountains, and defiled his neighbour's wife,
(nefa tsy nanao ireo zavatra ireo akory ny tenany), na mihinana eny an-tendrombohitra, na mandoto ny vadin’ ny namany,
12 hath wronged the poor and needy, hath taken by robbery, hath not restored the pledge, and hath lifted up his eyes to the idols, hath committed abomination,
na mampahory ny malahelo sy ny mahantra, na mandroba, na tsy mamerina ny natao tsatòka, na manandratra ny masony ho amin’ ny sampy ka manao izay fahavetavetana,
13 hath given forth upon interest, and hath taken increase; shall he then live? he shall not live — he hath done all these abominations; he shall surely be put to death, his blood shall be upon him.
na mampanana vola, na maka tombony moa ho velona va izy? Tsy ho velona izy; nanao ireo fahavetavetana rehetra ireo izy; ho faty tokoa izy, ary ny ràny dia ho aminy ihany.
14 Now, lo, if he beget a son, that seeth all his father's sins, which he hath done, and considereth, and doeth not such like,
Ary, indro, raha iny kosa indray miteraka zazalahy, izay mahita ny fahotana rehetra nataon-drainy, nefa nony mahita izany izy, dia tsy mba manao tahaka izany,
15 that hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, hath not defiled his neighbour's wife,
ka tsy mihinana eny an-tendrombohitra, na manandratra ny masony ho amin’ ny sampin’ ny taranak’ Isiraely, na mandoto ny vadin’ ny namany,
16 neither hath wronged any, hath not taken aught to pledge, neither hath taken by robbery, but hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment,
na mampahory olona, na maka tsatòka, na mandroba, fa manome ny haniny ho an’ ny noana ary manafy lamba ny mitanjaka,
17 that hath withdrawn his hand from the poor, that hath not received interest nor increase, hath executed Mine ordinances, hath walked in My statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity of his father, he shall surely live.
miaro ny tànany tsy hampahory ny mahantra, tsy mampanana vola, na maka tombony, fa manaraka ny fitsipiko sy mandeha araka ny lalàko, dia tsy ho faty noho ny helo-drainy izy; ho velona tokoa izy.
18 As for his father, because he cruelly oppressed, committed robbery on his brother, and did that which is not good among his people, behold, he dieth for his iniquity.
Ny amin’ ny rainy, noho ny nanaovany an-keriny sy ny nandrobany ny rahalahiny ary ny nanaovany izay tsy mety tao amin’ ny fireneny, dia, indro, ho faty noho ny helony izy.
19 Yet say ye: Why doth not the son bear the iniquity of the father with him? When the son hath done that which is lawful and right, and hath kept all My statutes, and hath done them, he shall surely live.
Nefa, hoy ianareo: Nahoana moa ny zanaka no tsy mba hitondra ny helo-drainy? Raha ny zanaka manao izay marina sy mahitsy sy mitandrina ny didiko rehetra ka mankatò azy, dia ho velona tokoa izy.
20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die; the son shall not bear the iniquity of the father with him, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son with him; the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
Ny fanahy izay manota no ho faty. Ny zanaka tsy mba hitondra ny heloky ny rainy, ary ny ray tsy mba hitondra ny heloky ny zanany; ny fahamarinan’ ny marina ho aminy ihany ary ny faharatsian’ ny ratsy fanahy kosa ho aminy ihany.
21 But if the wicked turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all My statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
Fa raha ny ratsy fanahy miala amin’ ny fahotana rehetra izay nataony ka mitandrina ny didiko rehetra ary manao izay marina sy mahitsy, dia ho velona tokoa izy, fa tsy ho faty.
22 None of his transgressions that he hath committed shall be remembered against him; for his righteousness that he hath done he shall live.
Ny fahadisoany rehetra izay nataony tsy hotsarovana aminy intsony; ho velona izy noho ny fahamarinana izay nataony.
23 Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD; and not rather that he should return from his ways, and live?
Moa sitrako akory va ny fahafatesan’ ny ratsy fanahy, hoy Jehovah Tompo, fa tsy ny hialany amin’ ny alehany mba ho velona izy?
24 But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? None of his righteous deeds that he hath done shall be remembered; for his trespass that he trespassed, and for his sin that he hath sinned, for them shall he die.
Fa raha ny marina no miala amin’ ny fahamarinany ka manao meloka ary manaraka ny fahavetavetana rehetra izay nataon’ ny ratsy fanahy, ho velona va izy? Ny fahamarinany rehetra izay nataony dia tsy hotsarovana; noho ny fahadisoana izay nandisoany sy ny fahotana izay nanotany dia ho faty izy.
25 Yet ye say: The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear now, O house of Israel: Is it My way that is not equal? is it not your ways that are unequal?
Nefa hoy ianareo: Tsy marina ny fitondran’ ny Tompo. Mihainoa ange, ry taranak’ Isiraely: Moa ny fitondrako va no tsy marina? Tsy ny fitondranareo va no tsy marina?
26 When the righteous man turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, he shall die therefor; for his iniquity that he hath done shall he die.
Raha ny marina miala amin’ ny fahamarinany ary manao meloka ka maty amin’ izany, dia maty noho ny heloka nataony ihany izy.
27 Again, when the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive.
Ary raha ny ratsy fanahy miala amin’ ny faharatsiana nataony ka manao izay marina sy mahitsy, dia hovelominy ny fanahiny.
28 Because he considereth, and turneth away from all his transgressions that he hath committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
Raha mahita izy ka miala amin’ ny fahadisoana rehetra izay nataony, dia ho velona tokoa izy, fa tsy ho faty.
29 Yet saith the house of Israel: The way of the Lord is not equal. O house of Israel, is it My ways that are not equal? is it not your ways that are unequal?
Nefa hoy ny taranak’ Isiraely: Tsy marina ny fitondran’ ny Tompo. Ry taranak’ Isiraely, ny fitondrako va no tsy marina? Tsy ny fitondranareo va no tsy marina?
30 Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord GOD. Return ye, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so shall they not be a stumblingblock of iniquity unto you.
Koa samy hotsaraiko araka ny ataonareo avy ianareo, ry taranak’ Isiraely, hoy Jehovah Tompo. Mitodiha, ka mibebaha amin’ ny fahadisoanareo rehetra, dia tsy ho tonga fahatafintohinana mahameloka anareo intsony izany.
31 Cast away from you all your transgressions, wherein ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
Esory ho afaka aminareo ny fahadisoanareo rehetra izay nataonareo, ka manaova fo vaovao sy fanahy vaovao ho anareo; fa nahoana no ho faty ianareo, ry taranak’ Isiraely?
32 For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD; wherefore turn yourselves, and live.
Fa tsy sitrako ny fahafatesan’ izay maty, hoy Jehovah Tompo. Koa mibebaha ianareo mba ho velona. Hira fahalahelovana ny amin’ ireo lehiben’ ny Isiraely.
