Ezekiel 18
1 The word of Jehovah came to me again, saying,
HIKI hou mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
2 "What do you mean, that you use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying, 'The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge?'
O ke aha ka oukou mea e olelo ai i keia olelo nane no ka aina o ka Iseraela, i ka i ana, Ua ai na makuakane i na huawaina awaawa, a ua hooiia na niho o na kamalii?
3 As I live, says Jehovah, you shall not have occasion any more to use this proverb in Israel.
Ma ko'u ola ana, wahi a Iehova ka Haku, aohe a oukou mea e olelo hou ai i keia olelo nane iloko o ka Iseraela.
4 Look, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul who sins, he shall die.
Aia hoi, no'u na uhane a pau: me ka uhane o ka makuakane, pela hoi ka uhane o ke keiki, no'u ia; o ka uhane lawehala, oia ke make.
5 "But if a man is just, and does that which is lawful and right,
Aka, ina he pono ke kanaka, a hana hoi ia i ka mea ku i ke kanawai a me ka maikai,
6 and has not eaten on the mountains, neither has lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, neither has defiled his neighbor's wife, neither has come near to a woman in her impurity,
Aole hoi i ai maluna o na mauna, aole hoi i leha ae kona mau maka i na kii o ka ohana a Iseraela, aole hoi i hoohaumia i ka wahine a kona hoalauna, aole hoi i hookokoke aku i ka wahine heekoko,
7 and has not wronged any, but has restored to the debtor his pledge, has taken nothing by robbery, has given his bread to the hungry, and has covered the naked with a garment;
Aole hoi i hooluhihewa i kekahi; a ua hoihoi i ka mea aie i kana i waiho ai ia ia, aole hoi i kaili i ka kekahi ma ka lalau wale; ua haawi hoi i kana berena i ka mea pololi; a ua hoouhi me ke kapa komo i ka mea kapa ole;
8 he who has not given forth on interest, neither has taken any increase, who has withdrawn his hand from iniquity, has executed true justice between man and man,
Ka mea aole i haawi aku e uku kualaia mai, aole hoi i lawe i ke kuala; ua hoihoi mai i kona lima mai ka hewa mai, a ua hooponoponoia'ku iwaena o kekahi me kekahi kanaka,
9 has walked in my statutes, and has kept my ordinances, to deal truly; he is just, he shall surely live," says Jehovah.
Ua hele hoi ma ko'u mau kanawai, a ua malama i ka'u mau kauoha, e hana pololei; he pono ia, e ola io ia, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.
10 "If he fathers a son who is a robber, a shedder of blood, and who does any one of these things,
A ina loaa ia ia ke keiki lalau hewa, he mea hookahe koko, a hana hoi i ka mea like me keia,
11 and who does not any of those duties, but even has eaten on the mountains, and defiled his neighbor's wife,
Aole hoi i hana ma kela mau mea, aka, ua ai maluna o na mauna, a ua hoohaumia i ka wahine a kona hoalauna,
12 has wronged the poor and needy, has taken by robbery, has not restored the pledge, and has lifted up his eyes to the idols, has committed abomination,
Ua hooluhihewa i ka mea haahaa a me ka nele, ua kaili i ka hai ma ka lalau wale, aole hoi i hoihoi aku i ka uku panai i haawiia mai, ua leha ae kona mau maka i na akua kii, ua hana hoi i ka mea inainaia;
13 has given forth on interest, and has taken increase; shall he then live? He shall not live: he has done all these abominations; he shall surely die; his blood shall be on him.
Ua haawi aku e uku kualaia mai, ua lawe hoi i ka uku panee; alaila e ola anei ia? Aole ia e ola; ua hana oia i keia mau mea inainaia a pau. E make io no ia, a maluna ona kona koko iho.
14 "Now, look, if he fathers a son, who sees all his father's sins, which he has done, and fears, and does not such like;
Eia hoi, ina loaa ia ia ke keiki i ike i na hewa a pau a kona makuakane i hana'i, a ua hoomanao, aole hoi i hana like me ia,
15 who has not eaten on the mountains, neither has lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, has not defiled his neighbor's wife,
Aole i ai maluna o na mauna, aole i leha'e kona mau maka i na kii o ka ohana a Iseraela, aole hoi i hoohaumia i ka wahine a kona hoalauna,
16 neither has wronged any, has not taken anything to pledge, neither has taken by robbery, but has given his bread to the hungry, and has covered the naked with a garment;
Aole hoi i hooluhihewa i kekahi, aole hoi i lawe i ka uku panai, aole hoi i kaili ma ka lalau wale, aka, ua haawi i kana berena i ka mea pololi, a na hoouhi me ke kapa komo i ka mea kapa ole,
17 who has withdrawn his hand from the poor, who has not received interest nor increase, has executed my ordinances, has walked in my statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity of his father, he shall surely live.
Ua hoihoi mai i kona lima mai luna mai o ka mea ilihune, aole i lawe i ke kuala, a me ka uku panee; ua hana nae ma kuu kauoha, ua hele hoi ma ko'u mau kanawai; aole ia e make no ka hewa o kona makuakane; e ola io no ia.
18 As for his father, because he cruelly oppressed, robbed his brother, and did that which is not good among his people, look, he shall die in his iniquity.
A o kona makuakane, no ka mea, ua hooluhihewa aloha ole ia, ua kaili i ka kona hoahanau ma ka lalau wale, a o ka mea pono ole kana i hana'i iwaena o kona poe kanaka, aia hoi, oia ke make iloko o koua hewa.
19 "Yet you say, 'Why doesn't the son bear the iniquity of the father?' When the son has done that which is lawful and right, and has kept all my statutes, and has done them, he shall surely live.
Aka, ke olelo nei oukou, No ke aha la e hoopai ole ia'i ke keiki no ka hewa o kona makuakane? Aia hana ke keiki i ka mea pono, a i malama hoi i ko'u mau kanawai a pau, a hana hoi ia lakou, e ola io no ia.
20 The soul who sins, he shall die: the son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son; the righteousness of the righteous shall be on him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be on him.
O ka uhane lawehala, oia ke make. Aole e hali ke keiki i ka hewa o ka makuakane, aole hoi e hali ka makuakane i ka hewa o ke keiki: o ka pono o ka mea pono, maluna iho ona no ia; a o ka hewa a ka mea hewa, maluna no ona hoi ia.
21 "But if the wicked turn from all his sins that he has committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
Aka, ina e huli mai ka mea hewa mai na hewa a pau ana i hana'i, a e malama i ko'u mau kanawai a pau, a e hana hoi i ka mea ku i ke kanawai a me ka maikai, e ola io no ia, aole ia e make.
22 None of his transgressions that he has committed shall be remembered against him: in his righteousness that he has done he shall live.
O na hewa ana i hana'i, aole ia e oleloia'ku ia ia; iloko o kona pono ana i hana'i e ola no ia.
23 Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked?" says Jehovah; "and not rather that he should return from his way, and live?
He oluolu iki anei ko'u ke make ka lawehala, wahi a Iehova ka Haku; aole hoi e huli mai ia mai kona mau aoao, a ola ia?
24 But when the righteous turns away from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, and does according to all the abominations that the wicked man does, shall he live? None of his righteous deeds that he has done shall be remembered: in his trespass that he has trespassed, and in his sin that he has sinned, in them shall he die.
Aka, i ka wa e huli ae ka mea pono mai kona pono ae a hana ma ka hewa, a hana hoi mamuli o na mea inainaia a ka lawehala i hana'i, e ola anei ia? O kona pono a pau ana i hana'i, aole ia e oleloia'ku; iloko o kona hewa ana i hana'i, a iloko o kona lawehala ana i lawehala'i, e make no ia iloko o ia mau mea.
25 "'Yet you say, "The way of Jehovah is not equal." Hear now, house of Israel: "Is my way not equal? Aren't your ways unequal?"
A ke olelo nei oukou, Aole kaulike ka aoao o ka Haku. E hoolohe mai ano, e ka ohana a Iseraela, aole anei ewaewa ole ko'u mau aoao? Aole anei o ko oukou mau aoao ka i ewaewa?
26 When the righteous man turns away from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, and dies in it; in his iniquity that he has done shall he die.
Aia huli ae ka mea pono mai kona pono ae, a hana hoi ma ka hewa, a make ilaila, no kona hewa ana i hana'i e make ai ia.
27 Again, when the wicked man turns away from his wickedness that he has committed, and does that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive.
A ina i huli ka mea hewa mai kona hewa ana i hana'i, a hana hoi ia i ka mea ku i ke kanawai a me ka maikai, e hoola oia i kona uhane.
28 Because he considers, and turns away from all his transgressions that he has committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
No ka mea, ua hoomanao oia, a ua huli mai ia mai kona mau hewa a pau ana i hana'i, e ola io ia, aole ia e make.
29 Yet the house of Israel says, "The way of Jehovah is not fair." "House of Israel, aren't my ways fair? Aren't your ways unfair?"
Aka, ke olelo nei ka ohana a ka Iseraela, Ua ewaewa ka aoao o ka Haku. E ka ohana a Iseraela, aole anei i ewaewa ole Wa mau aoao? Aole anei ko oukou mau aoao ka i ewaewa?
30 "'Therefore I will judge you, house of Israel, everyone according to his ways,' says Jehovah. 'Return, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.
Nolaila, e hoopai aku au ia oukou, e ka ohana a Iseraela, kela mea keia mea e like me kona aoao, wahi a Iehova ka Haku: e mihi oukou, a e huli mai, mai ko oukou mau hewa a pau, i ole ai e lilo ka hewa i make no oukou.
31 Cast away from you all your transgressions, in which you have transgressed; and make yourself a new heart and a new spirit: for why will you die, house of Israel?
E kiola aku mai o oukou aku i ko oukou mau hewa a pau, a oukou i hana hewa ai, a e hana no oukou i naau hou i uhane hou hoi; no ka mea, no ke aha la e make ai oukou, e ka ohana a Iseraela?
32 For I have no pleasure in the death of him who dies,' says Jehovah: 'therefore turn yourselves, and live.'"
No ka mea, aole o'u oluolu i ka make o ka mea i make, wahi a Iehova ka Haku; nolaila, e huli mai oukou, a e ola.
