Ezekiel 18

1 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,

And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.

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?

What? [is] to you you [are] speaking a proverb the proverb this on [the] land of Israel saying parents they eat sour grape[s] and [the] teeth of the children (they are blunt. *LA(bh)*)

3 [As] I live,” a declaration of Lord YHWH, “You no longer have the use of this allegory in Israel.

[by] [the] life Of me [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh if it will belong to you again to speak a proverb the proverb this in Israel.

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.

Here! all lives [belong] to me they as [the] life of the parent and as [the] life of the child [belong] to me they the soul which sins it it will die.

5 And a man, when he is righteous, And has done judgment and righteousness,

And anyone for he will be righteous and he will do justice and righteousness.

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,

To the mountains not he has eaten and eyes his not he has lifted up to [the] idols of [the] house of Israel and [the] wife of neighbor his not he has defiled and to a woman menstruation not he drew near.

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,

And anyone not he oppressed pledge his a debt he returned robbery not he robbed food his to [the] hungry he gave and [the] naked he covered clothing.

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.

For interest not he lent and interest not he took from injustice he turned away hand his justice of faithfulness he did between a person and a person.

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.

In statutes my he walked and judgments my he has kept by doing faithfulness [is] righteous he certainly he will live [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.

10 “And he has begotten a son, A burglar—a shedder of blood, And he has made a brother of one of these,

And he will father a son violent [who] sheds blood and he will do alas! any one of these [things].

11 And he has not done all those, For he has even eaten on the mountains, And he has defiled his neighbor’s wife,

And he all these [things] not he did for also to the mountains he has eaten and [the] wife of neighbor his he has defiled.

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!

[the] poor And [the] needy he has oppressed robberies he has robbed a pledge not he returned and to the idols he has lifted up eyes his abomination he has done.

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.

For interest he has lent and interest he has taken and will he live? not he will live all the abominations these he has done certainly he will be put to death blood his on him it will be.

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,

And there! he has fathered a child and he has seen all [the] sins of father his which he did and he saw and not he did like them.

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,

On the mountains not he has eaten and eyes his not he has lifted up to [the] idols of [the] house of Israel [the] wife of neighbor his not he has defiled.

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,

And anyone not he has oppressed a pledge not he has taken as pledge and robbery not he has robbed food his to [the] hungry he has given and [the] naked he has covered clothing.

From [the] poor he has turned away hand his interest and interest not he has taken judgments my he has done in statutes my he has walked he not he will die for [the] iniquity of father his certainly he will live.

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.

Father his for he has extorted extortion he has robbed robbery of a brother and [that] which not [was] good he has done in among people his and there! he will die for iniquity his.

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.

And you say why? not has he borne the child in [the] iniquity of the parent and the child justice and righteousness he has done all statutes my he has kept and he has done them certainly he will live.

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.

The soul which sins it it will die a child not he will bear - in [the] iniquity of the parent and a parent not he will bear in [the] iniquity of the child [the] righteousness of the righteous [person] on him it will be and [the] wickedness of (the wicked [person] *Q(K)*) on him it will be.

And the wicked [person] if he will turn away from all (sins his *Q(K)*) which he has done and he will keep all (statutes my *LAB(h)*) and he will do justice and righteousness certainly he will live not he will die.

22 All his transgressions that he has done Are not remembered to him, In his righteousness that he has done he lives.

All transgressions his which he has done not they will be remembered to him for righteousness his which he has done he will live.

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?

¿ Really do I take pleasure in [the] death of [the] wicked [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh ¿ not when turning back he from ways his and he will live.

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.

And when turns away [the] righteous from righteousness his and he will do injustice according to all the abominations which he did the wicked [person] he will do and will he live? all (righteousness his *Q(K)*) which he did not they will be remembered for unfaithfulness his which he has acted unfaithfully and for sin his which he has sinned for them he will die.

And you say not it is correct [the] way of [the] Lord listen please O house of Israel ¿ way my not is it correct ¿ not ways your not are they correct.

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.

28 And he sees and turns back, From all his transgressions that he has done, He surely lives, he does not die,

And he saw (and he turned away *Q(k)*) from all transgressions his which he had done certainly he will live not he will die.

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?

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,
