Ezekiel 18
1 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
Ary tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
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?
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,” a declaration of Lord YHWH, “You no longer have the use of this allegory in Israel.
Rana velona koa Aho, hoy Jehovah Tompo, tsy hisy hanaovanareo izany ohabolana izany ao amin’ ny Isiraely intsony.
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.
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 And a man, when he is righteous, And has done judgment and righteousness,
Fa raha marina ny olona ka manao izay marina sy mahitsy,
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,
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 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,
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 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.
tsy mampanàna vola, na maka tombony akory, fa miaro ny tanany tsy hanao ratsy ary manao fitsarana marina amin’ ny miady,
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.
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 “And he has begotten a son, A burglar—a shedder of blood, And he has made a brother of one of these,
Fa raha miteraka zazalahy mpanao an-keriny sy mpandatsa-drà izy, ka manao na dia iray ihany amin’ ireo zavatra ireo aza iny
11 And he has not done all those, For he has even eaten on the mountains, And he has defiled his neighbor’s wife,
(nefa tsy nanao ireo zavatra ireo akory ny tenany), na mihinana eny an-tendrombohitra, na mandoto ny vadin’ ny namany,
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!
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 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.
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 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,
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 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,
ka tsy mihinana eny an-tendrombohitra, na manandratra ny masony ho amin’ ny sampin’ ny taranak’ Isiraely, na mandoto ny vadin’ ny namany,
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,
na mampahory olona, na maka tsatòka, na mandroba, fa manome ny haniny ho an’ ny noana ary manafy lamba ny mitanjaka,
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 All his transgressions that he has done Are not remembered to him, In his righteousness that he has done he lives.
Ny fahadisoany rehetra izay nataony tsy hotsarovana aminy intsony; ho velona izy noho ny fahamarinana izay nataony.
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?
Moa sitrako akory va ny fahafatesan’ ny ratsy fanahy, hoy Jehovah Tompo, fa tsy ny hialany amin’ ny alehany mba ho velona izy?
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.
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 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?
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 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.
Raha ny marina miala amin’ ny fahamarinany ary manao meloka ka maty amin’ izany, dia maty noho ny heloka nataony ihany izy.
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.
Ary raha ny ratsy fanahy miala amin’ ny faharatsiana nataony ka manao izay marina sy mahitsy, dia hovelominy ny fanahiny.
28 And he sees and turns back, From all his transgressions that he has done, He surely lives, he does not die,
Raha mahita izy ka miala amin’ ny fahadisoana rehetra izay nataony, dia ho velona tokoa izy, fa tsy ho faty.
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?
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 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,
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 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?
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 the dying,” A declaration of Lord YHWH, “Therefore turn back 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.
