Ezekiel 18
1 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
BOEIPA ol he kai taengla ha pawk tih,
2 “What [is it] to you [that] you are using this allegory Concerning the ground of Israel, saying, Fathers eat unripe fruit, And the sons’ teeth are blunted?
“Nangmih te mebang nim? Israel khohmuen ham tah he thuidoeknah na thuidoek uh. ‘Pa rhoek loh thaihkang a caak uh tih, ca rhoek kah a no yaa,’ na ti uh.
3 [As] I live,” a declaration of Lord YHWH, “You no longer have the use of this allegory in Israel.
Kai tah hingnah ni tite, ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni. He thuidoeknah neh na thuidoek he nangmih Israel khuiah om voel mahpawh.
4 Behold, all the souls are Mine, As the soul of the father, So also the soul of the son—they are Mine, The soul that is sinning—it dies.
Hinglu boeih te kamah taengkah ni he. A napa kah hinglu khaw ka taengah tah capa kah hinglu bangla om boeiloeih. Aka tholh tah amah hinglu ni a duek eh.
5 And a man, when he is righteous, And has done judgment and righteousness,
Hlang he a dueng la a om atah tiktamnah neh duengnah ni a saii.
6 He has not eaten on the mountains, And has not lifted up his eyes To idols of the house of Israel, And did not defile his neighbor’s wife, And did not come near to a separated woman,
Tlang ah ca pawt tih Israel imkhui kah mueirhol te a mik huel thil pawh. A hui yuu te poeih pawt tih pumom nu taengah mop pawh.
7 He does not oppress a man, He returns his pledge to the debtor, He does not take away plunder, He gives his bread to the hungry, And covers the naked with a garment,
Hlang te laibakung kah hnohol vuelvaek pawt tih a huenkoe te a mael tih a rhawth pawt atah, a buh te bungpong taengah a paek tih pumtling te himbai a khuk atah,
8 He does not give in usury, and does not take increase, He turns back his hand from perversity, He does true judgment between man and man.
A casai la pae pawt tih dumlai lamloh a puehkan la a loh pawt atah. A kut a poem tih hlang neh hlang laklo ah oltak la tiktamnah a saii atah,
9 He walks in My statutes, And he has kept My judgments—to deal truly, He [is] righteous—he surely lives,” A declaration of Lord YHWH.
Ka khosing dongah pongpa tih ka laitloeknah he vai ham a dueng la oltak a ngaithuen atah hing rhoe hing ni. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni.
10 “And he has begotten a son, A burglar—a shedder of blood, And he has made a brother of one of these,
Thii aka hawk dingca loh ca a sak mai tih anunae te khuikah pakhat lamloh a saii khaming.
11 And he has not done all those, For he has even eaten on the mountains, And he has defiled his neighbor’s wife,
Te boeih te anih loh saii pawt cakhaw tlang ah a caak tih a hui yuu te a poeih atah,
12 He has oppressed the afflicted and needy, He has taken away plunder violently, He does not return a pledge, And he has lifted up his eyes to the idols, He has done abomination!
A huenkoe neh mangdaeng khodaeng a vuelvaek tih hnohol a rhawth pah khaw mael pawh. A mik te mueirhol taengla a huel tih tueilaehkoi te a saii.
13 He has given in usury, and taken increase, And he lives? He does not live, He has done all these abominations, He surely dies, his blood is on him.
A casai la a paek tih a puehkan a loh dongah hing rhoe hing mahpawh. Tueilaehkoi cungkuem he a saii dongah duek rhoe duek vetih a thii te amah soah tla ni.
14 And—behold, he has begotten a son, And he sees all the sins of his father, That he has done, and he fears, And does not do like them,
Tedae a ca sak loh a napa kah tholhnah cungkuem a saii te a hmuh ne. A hmuh dae amih bangla a saii moenih.
15 He has not eaten on the mountains, And he has not lifted up his eyes To idols of the house of Israel, He has not defiled his neighbor’s wife,
Tlang ah ca pawt tih Israel im kah mueirhol te a mik huel thil pawh, a hui yuu te poeih pah pawh.
16 He has not oppressed a man, He has not bound a pledge, And he has not taken away plunder, He has given his bread to the hungry, And he covered the naked with a garment,
Hlang te vuelvaek pawt tih hnohol te laikoi sak pawh, a huenkoe neh hlang rheth pawh. A buh te bungpong taengla a paek tih pumtling te himbai a khuk.
17 He has turned back his hand from the afflicted, He has not taken usury and increase, He has done My judgments, He has walked in My statutes, He does not die for the iniquity of his father, He surely lives.
Mangdaeng taengah a kut a poem tih a casai neh a puehkan la lo pawh. Ka laitloeknah te a vai tih ka khosing dongah pongpa. Anih tah a napa kah thaesainah dongah te duek pawt vetih hing rhoe hing ni.
18 His father—because he used oppression, Violently plundered a brother, And did that which [is] not good in the midst of his people, And behold, he is dying in his iniquity.
A napa khaw hnaemtaeknah neh a hnaemtaek tih a manuca kah kutkho a rhawth, a pilnam lakli ah, a then a saii pawt te amah kah thaesainah dongah ni a duek van eh ne.
19 And you have said, Why has the son not borne of the iniquity of the father? And the son has done judgment and righteousness, He has kept all My statutes, And he does them, he surely lives.
Tedae, “Balae tih pa kah thaesainah te capa loh a phueih pawh,” na ti uh. Ca khaw tiktamnah neh duengnah a saii phoeiah ka khosing boeih te a ngaithuen tih a vai atah hing rhoe hing ni.
20 The soul that sins—it dies. A son does not bear of the iniquity of the father, And a father does not bear of the iniquity of the son, The righteousness of the righteous is on him, And the wickedness of the wicked is on him.
Amah tholh ah ni a hinglu a duek eh. Pa kah thaesainah te capa loh phuei pawt vetih capa kah thaesainah te pa loh phuei mahpawh. Aka dueng tah a taengah duengnah om vetih halang, halang tah a taengah halangnah ni a om eh.
21 And the wicked—when he turns back From all his sins that he has done, And he has kept all My statutes, And has done judgment and righteousness, He surely lives, he does not die.
Halang khaw tholhnah a saii dae a tholhnah cungkuem lamloh mael tih ka khosing te boeih a vai, tiktamnah neh duengnah te a saii atah hing rhoe hing vetih duek mahpawh.
22 All his transgressions that he has done Are not remembered to him, In his righteousness that he has done he lives.
A boekoeknah cungkuem a saii te amih soah poek uh mahpawh. Amah kah duengnah a saii dongah hing ni.
23 Do I take pleasure [or] delight in the death of the wicked?” A declaration of Lord YHWH, “Is it not in his turning back from his way—And he has lived?
Halang kah dueknah te ka ngaih khaw ka ngaih aya? He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni. A longpuei lamloh a mael lalah khaw hing aya?
24 And in the turning back of the righteous from his righteousness, And he has done perversity, According to all the abominations That the wicked has done, Does he then live? All his righteous deeds that he has done are not remembered, For his trespass that he has trespassed, And for his sin that he has sinned, For them he dies.
Tedae aka dueng khaw a duengnah lamloh mael tih halang loh tueilaehkoi boeih a saii bangla dumlai saii koinih boekoeknah la boe a koek dongah a hing vaengah a duengnah neh duengnah cungkuem a saii khaw a saii la poek uh mahpawh. Amah kah tholhnah a saii dongah amah ni a duek eh.
25 And you have said, The way of the Lord is not pondered. Now hear, O house of Israel, My way—is it not pondered? Are not your ways unpondered?
Te pataeng, ‘BOEIPA kah longpuei he tiktam pawh,’ na ti. Israel imkhui hnatun laeh na ti uh. Ka longpuei he a tiktam moenih a? A tiktam pawt te nangmih kah longpuei moenih a?
26 In the turning back of the righteous from his righteousness, And he has done perversity, And he is dying by them, He dies for his perversity that he has done.
Aka dueng te a duengnah lamloh mael tih dumlai saii koinih te rhoek dongah amah ni aka duek eh. Amah kah dumlai a saii dongah amah duek ni.
27 And in the turning back of the wicked From his wickedness that he has done, And he does judgment and righteousness, He keeps his soul alive.
Tedae halang khaw a halangnah a saii lamloh mael tih tiktamnah neh duengnah saii koinih a hinglu te hing ni.
28 And he sees and turns back, From all his transgressions that he has done, He surely lives, he does not die,
A hmuh tih a boekoeknah cungkuem a saii lamloh a mael la a mael atah hing rhoe hing vetih duek mahpawh.
29 And the house of Israel has said, The way of the Lord is not pondered, My ways—are they not pondered? O house of Israel—are not your ways unpondered?
Tedae Israel imkhui loh, “Ka Boeipa kah longpuei tiktam pawh,” a ti. Israel imkhui a tiktam pawt te kai longpuei e? Aka tiktam pawt te nangmih kah longpuei moenih a?
30 Therefore, I judge each according to his ways, O house of Israel,” A declaration of Lord YHWH, “Turn back, indeed, turn yourselves back, From all your transgressions, And iniquity is not for a stumbling-block to you,
Te dongah hlang he a longpuei banglam ni Israel imkhui nangmih te lai kan tloek eh. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah olphong ni. Yut uh lamtah na boekoek cungkuem lamloh mael uh laeh. Te daengah ni nangmih ham thaesainah hmuitoel la a om pawt eh.
31 Cast away all your transgressions from over you, By which you have transgressed, And make a new heart and a new spirit for yourselves, And why do you die, O house of Israel?
Nangmih kah boekoeknah cungkuem neh boe na koek uh te nangmih taeng lamloh voei uh. Lungbuei thai neh mueihla thai mah namamih ham saii uh. Balae tih Israel imkhui loh na duek uh eh?
32 For I have no pleasure in the death of the dying,” A declaration of Lord YHWH, “Therefore turn back and live!”
Dueknah neh a duek te ka ngaih moenih. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni. Te dongah yut uh lamtah hing uh laeh,” a ti.
