Ezekiel 18
1 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
BAWIPA e lawk teh kai koe bout a pha teh,
2 What mean ye, that ye use this proverb in the country of Israel, saying, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the teeth of the children are set on edge?
Isarel ram kong dawkvah hete cingthuilawk a hno awh lahun e hah bangmaw a ngainae, a napanaw ni misur paw kathut e a ca awh teh a canaw e a hâ a kip, tie hah.
3 As I live, saith the Lord Eternal, ye shall not have any more to use this proverb in Israel.
Kai ka hring e patetlah Isarel kong dawkvah, hete cingthuilawk hah hno e lah awm mahoeh toe, telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei.
4 Behold, all the souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son—mine are they: the soul which sinneth that alone shall die.
Khenhaw! hringnae pueng kaie seng lah doeh ao. Na pa hringnae kaie lah ao e patetlah a capa hringnae hai kaie lah ao. Yonnae ka sak pueng hah a due han.
5 But if a man be righteous, and execute justice and righteousness;
Hatei, tami lungthin lan pawiteh, kalan e hno, kamsoum e hno hah sak pawiteh,
6 Upon the mountains he eateth not, and his eyes he lifteth not up to the idols of the house of Israel, and the wife of his neighbor he defileth not, and unto a woman in her separation he cometh not near;
Mon dawk hai catnet laipalah, Isarel imthung meikaphawk koe lahai kangvawi laipalah, a imri e a yu hai kamhnawng sin laipalah, kampheng lahun e napui hai hnai laipalah,
7 And he over-reacheth no man, he restoreth his pledge for a debt, a robbery he doth not commit, his bread he giveth to the hungry, and the naked he covereth with a garment;
apie lathueng hai yonnae sak laipalah, laibakung ni a hung e lat laipalah, ayâ e hno thama lah lawm laipalah, von ka hlam e tami rawca ka poe e caici lah kaawm e khohna ka poe,
8 Upon interest he giveth not forth, and increase he doth not take, from wrong he withdraweth his hand, true judgment he executeth between man and man;
apung ka cat hoeh e, tangka ka cawi hoeh e, yon sak hanelah kâcakuep e hoi, tami hoi tami rahak kalancalah lawk ka ceng e,
9 In my statutes he walketh steadfastly, and my ordinances he keepeth to deal truly: he is righteous, he shall surely live, saith the Lord Eternal.
kaie phunglawknaw tarawi teh kalancalah sak e lahoi ka lawkcengnae naw tarawi pawiteh, tamikalan lah ao teh, a hring roeroe han telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei.
10 If he [now] beget a dissolute son that sheddeth blood and doth to [his] brother any one of thee things;
Hatei, ka parawt e capa hah, a khe teh, thi kapalawngkung lah ao teh, hote hno pueng a sak teh,
11 And he is one that doth not any of these [duties]; but eateth even upon the mountains, and defileth the wife of his neighbor;
A sak hane law sak laipalah, mon dawkvah a canei teh a imri napui hah a kamhnawng sin teh,
12 The poor and needy he over-reacheth, he is guilty of robberies, the pledge he restoreth not, and to the idols he lifteth up his eyes, abominations he committeth:
ka roedeng ka voutthoup pacekpahlek laihoi, a hnopai thama lah lawpnae, meikaphawk khet lahoi panuettho e saksaknae,
13 Upon interest he giveth forth, and increase he taketh: and he should live? he shall not live; all these abominations hath he done, he shall surely die; his blood shall be upon him.
apung ka cat, tangka kacawi e, lah awm pawiteh, a hring han na maw. Hring roeroe mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hete panuettho e hno pueng hah a sak. A due roeroe han, a due hane kamcu yonnae a tawn.
14 And behold, if he beget a son, who seeth all the sins of his father which he hath done, and he considereth, and doth not the like of them;
Khenhaw! a capa hah khe boilah, a na pa ni a sak e yonnae pueng hah a hmu toteh, a taki teh haw patetlah sak van hoeh nahan,
15 Upon the mountains he eateth not, and his eyes he lifteth not up to the idols of the house of Israel, the wife of his neighbor he defileth not;
mon dawkvah, catnet laipalah, Isarel imthungnaw e meikaphawk hah a hmalah ka khen hoeh e, a imri napui hah kamhnawng sin hoeh e,
16 And he over-reacheth no man, a pledge he withholdeth not, and of a robbery he is never guilty, his bread he giveth to the hungry, and the naked he covereth with a garment;
apie lathueng hai yonnae ka sak hoeh e, hung e hno ka lat hoeh e, apihai ka pacekpahlek hoeh e, von ka hlam e hah ca hane ka poe e, caici lah kaawm e khohna ka poe e,
17 From the poor he withdraweth his hand, interest and increase he taketh not: my ordinances he executeth; in my statutes he walketh: —he shall not die for the iniquity of his father, he shall surely live.
ka roedeng e tami hloutnae ka poe, apung ka cat hoeh ni teh, ka phunglam tarawi pawiteh, a na pa a yonnae kecu dawk dout mahoeh, a hring roeroe han.
18 His father, because he unjustly withheld [wages], was guilty of robbery on his brother, and did that which is not good in the midst of his people, —and lo, he died through his iniquity.
A na pa teh amae hmaunawngha boutbout pacekpahlek pawiteh, a hnopai thama lahoi lawpnae, amae miphunnaw dawk kahawihoehe hno a sak e yonnae kecu dawk a due han.
19 Yet say ye, Why doth not the son bear part of the iniquity of the father? when the son hath executed justice and righteousness, all my statutes hath he kept, and hath done them: he shall surely live.
Hateiteh, bangkongmaw a capa ni a na pa a yonnae hah a khang hoeh han, ouk na ti awh. Capa ni kâlawk a tarawi teh lannae a sak teh ka phunglam pueng hoi pâkuem lah tarawi pawiteh, a hring roeroe han.
20 The soul that sinneth, she alone shall die; the son shall not help to bear the iniquity of the father and the father shall not help to bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
Yonnae ka sak e teh a due han, a na pa ni a na pa yonnae dawk khang mahoeh. A na pa ni hai capa yonnae dawk khang mahoeh. Tami kalan a lannae aphu teh, ama ni ama ni a coe vaiteh, tamikayon a yonnae phu teh a ma a khang han.
21 And the wicked, when he turneth away from all his sins that he hath committed, and keepeth all my statutes, and executeth justice and righteousness, shall surely live, he shall not die.
Hateiteh, tamikayon ni a sak e yonnae pueng a ceitakhai teh, kaie phunglawknaw a pâkuem teh, kâlawk hah tarawi laihoi, lannae sak pawiteh, a hring roeroe han, dout mahoeh.
22 All his transgressions which he hath committed shall not be remembered unto him: through his righteousness which he hath done shall he live.
Kâtapoenae pâkuem pouh e lah awm mahoeh, a sak tangcoung e a lannae lahoi a hring han.
23 Have I then the least pleasure in the death of the wicked? saith the Lord Eternal: and not in his turning away from his ways, that he may live?
Tamikayon a duenae dawkvah, lunghawinae katawnnaw, a lamthungnaw ka kamlang takhai teh, hring laipalah teh, telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei.
24 But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth wrong, and doth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? all his righteousness that he hath done shall not he remembered: through his trespass which he hath committed, and through his sin that he hath done, —through them shall he die.
Hateiteh, tamikalan ni a lannae a kamlang takhai teh, yonnae sak pawiteh, tamikayon ni a sak e patetlah panuettho e hno a sak toteh, a hring han na ou. a sak e lannae hah panue pouh e lah awm hoeh vaiteh, kâlawk tapoenae roeroe dawkvah, yonnae a sak dawk roeroe a due han.
25 Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equitable: hear now, O house of Israel, Is not my way equitable? is it not your ways which are not equitable?
Hateiteh, Bawipa a sak e pou kâvan hoeh ouk na ti awh. Isarel imthungnaw thai awh haw, ka sak e hah pou kâvan nahoehmaw. Na sak awh e law teh kâvan boihoeh nahoehmaw.
26 When a righteous man turneth away from his righteousness, and doth wrong, and dieth therefore: through his wrong which he hath done must he die.
Tamikalan ni a lannae kamlang takhai lah, payonnae hah sak pawiteh, haw tueng vah a due han, payonnae a sak e dawk a due han.
27 Again, when the wicked turneth away from his wickedness which he hath committed, and executeth justice and righteousness: he shall indeed preserve his soul alive.
Hothloilah tamikayon ni a sak tangcoung e yonnae hah, kamlang takhai lah kâlawk tarawinae lahoi lannae hah sak pawiteh, a hringnae a rungngang han.
28 Because he hath considered, and turned away from all his transgressions which he had committed: he shall surely live, he shall not die.
A lung a ang teh ka lawk a eknae a sak tangcoung e pueng a kamlang takhai dawkvah, a hringnae roeroe hah dout mahoeh.
29 Yet say the house of Israel, The way of the Lord is not equitable: are not my ways equitable, O house of Israel? is it not your ways which are not equitable?
Hateiteh Isarel imthung ni, BAWIPA ni a sak e hah kâvan boihoeh ati awh. Oe Isarel imthungnaw, ka tawksaknae be a kâvan nahoehmaw. Nangmae na tawksak e law teh a kâvan boi yaw maw.
30 Therefore will I judge you, every one according to his ways, O house of Israel, saith the Lord Eternal: return ye, and cause others to return from all your transgressions, that iniquity may not become your stumbling-block.
Hatdawkvah Oe Isarel imthungnaw, tami pueng nangmouh na sak awh e patetlah hoi lawk na ceng awh han telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei. Kamlang awh nateh, kâ na tapoenae pueng kamlang takhai awh. Hottelah pawiteh, na yonnae hah na rawpnae lah awm mahoeh.
31 Cast away from yourselves all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make yourselves a new heart and a new spirit; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
Kâ na tapoenae pueng, kâlawk na ek tangcoung e be tâkhawng awh nateh, lungthin katha hoi muitha katha hoi kamthoup awh. Oe Isarel imthungnaw, bangkongmaw na due awh han.
32 For I have no pleasure in the death of him that deserveth to die, saith the Lord Eternal: therefore convert yourselves, and live.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, tami a duenae dawkvah, lunghawinae ka tawn boihoeh telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei. Hatdawkvah, kamlang awh nateh hring awh.
