< Ezekiel 18 >
1 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
Niheo amako indraike ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty 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?
Ino ty tea’ areo ho saontsieñe, ie manoñoñe o razan-drehake zao ty amy tane’ Israeley, manao ty hoe; Nikama valoboke makira o roae’eo vaho mangitsy ty nife’ o amori’eo?
3 [As] I live,” a declaration of Lord YHWH, “You no longer have the use of this allegory in Israel.
Aa kanao velon-dRaho, hoe t’Iehovà Talè, le tsy hanam-pototse ka nahareo hanoñoñe i razan-drehakey e Israele ao.
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.
Oniño te kila ahy ze arofo; fonga ahy ty fiain-drae naho ty fiain’anake; ze ondaty manao hakeo ro hihomake.
5 And a man, when he is righteous, And has done judgment and righteousness,
Fa naho vantañe t’indaty, manao ty hahiti’e naho ty havañonañe,
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,
tsy mikama an-kaboañe ey, naho tsy miandra fihaino amo samposampon’ anjomba’ Israeleo naho tsy mandeotse ty valin-drañe’e, vaho tsy mitotoke rakemba miambolañe,
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,
tsy mamorekeke ondaty, fe mañavak’ amy mpampisongoy ty nampitsaloha’e, tsy mampikametse, fe mamahañe ty kerè ami’ty mahakama’e vaho manaroñe ty mihalo an-tsikiñe;
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 mampisongo hangala’e ana’e naho tsy mandrambe tombo’e, manintake ty fità’e ami’ty hatsivokarañe, le manao zaka to añivo’ t’indaty naho t’indaty,
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.
vaho mañavelo amo fañèkoo naho mitàna o fepèkoo hanao ty hiti’e. Vañon-dre tsi-mete tsy ho veloñe, hoe t’Iehovà Talè.
10 “And he has begotten a son, A burglar—a shedder of blood, And he has made a brother of one of these,
Aa ie mahatoly anake ho malaso ndra mpampiori-dio
11 And he has not done all those, For he has even eaten on the mountains, And he has defiled his neighbor’s wife,
(ndra te tsy manao ndra raik’ amy raha rezay ty rae’e); ie mifanjotse an-kaboañe ey, mamahotse ty valin-drañe’e,
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!
mamorekeke ty rarake naho ty poi’e, mikizo, tsy mañavake songo, miandra amy ze samposampo, mbore manao hativàñe,
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.
mitake ana’e naho mampisongo naho mangala tombo’e, aa vaho ho velon-dre? Toe tsy ho veloñe; hativàñe iaby i nanoe’e rezay; tsy mahay tsy havetrake, vaho ho ama’e ty lio’e.
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,
Aa ie misamak’ anake maharendreke o hene hakeo nanoen-droae’eo, le ndra te oni’e tsy orihe’e,
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,
tsy mikama am-bohitsey, tsy miandra amo samposampo’ Israeleo, tsy mandeotse ty valin-drañe’e,
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,
naho tsy mamorekeke ondaty, tsy mitana ty tsinoa’e, tsy mampikametse, te mone fahana’e ty saliko, saroña’e sikiñe ty miboridañe
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.
naho sintone’e ty fità’e tsy hanindry ty rarake, tsy mandrambe ana’e, tsy mampitombo, ie manao ze nandiliako iaby vaho mañavelo amo fañèkoo, le tsy hihomake an-tahin-drae’e, fa toe ho veloñe.
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.
Ty rae’e ka, ie namorekeke am-pampisoañañe, naho nitavañe an-drahalahi’e, vaho nanao ty tsy havokarañe am’ ondati’eo; oniño t’ie tsy mete tsy hikenkañe ty amo hakeo’eo.
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.
Aa naho manao ty hoe nahareo, Aa vaho akore te tsy vavè’ i ana’ey ty tahin-drae’e? Amy te niaiña’ i anakey o lilio, naho ty havañonañe, naho nivontitire’e iaby o fañèkoo, vaho nanoe’e, le toe ho veloñe.
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.
T’indaty manao hakeo ty hihomake. Tsy hivave ty tahin-drae’e ty ana’e, vaho tsy hivave ty hakeon’ ana’e ty rae; fa ty havañona’ i vantañey ro aze, naho ty haratia’ i lo-tserekey ro aze.
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.
Aa naho iambohoa’ i raty tserekey o hakeo nanoe’eo naho mifahatse amo hene fañèkoo vaho mañavelo an-kamarentane naho an-kahiti’e, toe ho velon-dre fa tsy hivetrake.
22 All his transgressions that he has done Are not remembered to him, In his righteousness that he has done he lives.
Tsy ho volilieñe ama’e o fiolàñe iaby nanoe’eo; o havañonañe anoe’eo ro hiveloma’e.
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?
Paiako hao ty fihomaha’ o lo-tserekeo? hoe t’Iehovà Talè, Tsy hàmake te apo’e o sata’eo, soa te ho veloñe?
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 naho mienga i havantaña’ey ty vantañe naho manao hakeo, vaho fonga anoe’e ty sata tiva’ o tsivokatseo, ho veloñe hao? Toe tsy ho volilieñe ama’e ze hene havantañañe nanoe’e, fa i fiolàñe nandilara’ey naho o tahiñe nanoe’eo ty hivetraha’e.
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?
Aa naho anoa’ areo ty hoe: Tsy mira ty lala’ i Talè. Mijanjiña arè ry anjomba’ Israele: Ty lalako hao ro tsy mira? kera ty anahareo ro mengoke.
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.
Naho apo’ ty vantañe ty havantaña’e vaho manao hakeo, le hihomake re; o tahiñe nanoe’eo ty hivetraha’e.
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.
Ie ka, naho aforintse’ i tsivokatsey o tsy havokarañe nanoe’eo, vaho mañavelo ami’ty fahiti’e naho ty havantañañe le hirombak’aiñe.
28 And he sees and turns back, From all his transgressions that he has done, He surely lives, he does not die,
Kanao nioni’e naho fonga nado’e o fiolàñe nanoe’eo, le toe ho veloñe; tsy hihomake.
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?
Aa ie henaneo, naho hanao ty hoe ty anjomba’ Israele, tsy vantañe ty lala’ i Talè; Ry Anjomba’ Israele, tsy mahity hao o lalakoo? Toe ty lala’ areo ro tsy vantañe.
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,
Aa le ho zakaeko nahareo ry anjomba’ Israele, songa ty amo sata’eo, hoe t’Iehovà Talè. Misolohoa vaho iambohò o fiolà’ areoo, tsy mone hampiantoe’ o tahi’ areoo.
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?
Ahifiho tsy ho ama’ areo ze fonga fiolàñe niolà’ areo, naho itseneo troke vao, vaho arofo vao; fa ino ty hivetraha’ areo, ry anjomba’ Israele?
32 For I have no pleasure in the death of the dying,” A declaration of Lord YHWH, “Therefore turn back and live!”
Toe tsy mahafale ahy ty fihomaha’ i mikoromakey, hoe t’Iehovà Talè; aa le mimpolia soa te ho veloñe.
