< Ezekiel 18 >

1 The word of Jehovah came to me again, saying,
Ang salita ng Panginoon ay dumating uli sa akin, na nagsasabi,
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?'
Anong ibig ninyong sabihin na inyong sinasambit ang kawikaang ito tungkol sa lupain ng Israel, na sinasabi, Kinain ng mga magulang ang mga maasim na ubas, at ang mga ngipin ng mga anak ay nagsisipangilo?
3 As I live, says Jehovah, you shall not have occasion any more to use this proverb in Israel.
Buhay ako, sabi ng Panginoong Dios, hindi na ninyo sasambitin pa ang kawikaang ito sa Israel.
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.
Narito, lahat ng kaluluwa ay akin; kung paano ang kaluluwa ng ama, gayon din ang kaluluwa ng anak ay akin: ang kaluluwa na nagkakasala ay mamamatay.
5 "But if a man is just, and does that which is lawful and right,
Nguni't kung ang isang tao ay maging ganap, at gumawa ng tapat at matuwid,
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,
At hindi kumain sa mga bundok, o itinaas man ang kaniyang mga mata sa mga diosdiosan ng sangbahayan ni Israel, o nadumhan man ang asawa ng kaniyang kapuwa, o lumapit man sa isang babae na may kapanahunan:
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;
At hindi pumighati sa kanino man, kundi nagsauli ng sangla sa mangungutang sa kaniya, hindi sumamsam ng anoman sa pamamagitan ng pangdadahas nagbigay ng kaniyang tinapay sa gutom, at nagbalot ng kasuutan sa hubad;
8 he who has not given forth on interest, neither has taken any increase, who has withdrawn his hand from iniquity, has executed true justice between man and man,
Siya na hindi nagbigay na may patubo, o kumuha man ng anomang pakinabang, na iniurong ang kaniyang kamay sa kasamaan, gumawa ng tunay na kahatulan sa tao't tao,
9 has walked in my statutes, and has kept my ordinances, to deal truly; he is just, he shall surely live," says Jehovah.
Lumakad ng ayon sa aking mga palatuntunan, at nagingat ng aking mga kahatulan upang gawing may katotohanan; siya'y ganap, siya'y walang pagsalang mabubuhay, sabi ng Panginoong Dios.
10 "If he fathers a son who is a robber, a shedder of blood, and who does any one of these things,
Kung siya'y magkaanak ng isang lalake na tulisan, mangbububo ng dugo, at gumagawa ng alin man sa mga ganitong bagay,
11 and who does not any of those duties, but even has eaten on the mountains, and defiled his neighbor's wife,
At hindi gumagawa ng alin man sa mga katungkulang yaon, kundi kumain nga sa mga bundok, at nadumhan ang asawa ng kaniyang kapuwa,
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,
Pumighati ng dukha at mapagkailangan, sumamsam sa pamamagitan ng pangdadahas, hindi nagsauli ng sangla, at itinaas ang kaniyang mga mata sa mga diosdiosan, gumawa ng kasuklamsuklam.
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.
Nagbigay na may patubo, at tumanggap ng pakinabang; mabubuhay nga baga siya? siya'y hindi mabubuhay: kaniyang ginawa ang lahat na kasuklamsuklam na ito: siya'y walang pagsalang mamamatay; ang kaniyang dugo ay sasa kaniya.
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;
Ngayon, narito, kung siya'y magkaanak ng isang lalake, na nakikita ang lahat na kasalanan ng kaniyang ama na ginawa, at natatakot, at hindi gumagawa ng gayon;
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,
Na hindi kumain sa mga bundok, o itinaas man ang kaniyang mga mata sa mga diosdiosan ng sangbahayan ni Israel; hindi nadumhan ang asawa ng kaniyang kapuwa,
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;
O pumighati man sa kanino man, hindi tumanggap ng anomang sangla, o sumamsam man sa pamamagitan ng pangdadahas, kundi nagbigay ng kaniyang tinapay sa gutom, at nagbalot ng kasuutan sa hubad;
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.
Na iniurong ang kaniyang kamay sa dukha, na hindi tumanggap ng patubo o ng pakinabang man, ginawa ang aking mga kahatulan, lumakad sa aking mga palatuntunan, hindi siya mamamatay, ng dahil sa kasamaan ng kaniyang ama, siya'y walang pagsalang mabubuhay.
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.
Tungkol sa kaniyang ama, sapagka't siya'y pumighating may kabagsikan, sumamsam sa kaniyang kapatid sa pamamagitan ng pangdadahas, at gumawa ng hindi mabuti sa gitna ng kaniyang bayan, narito siya'y mamamatay sa kaniyang kasamaan.
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.
Gayon ma'y sinasabi ninyo, Bakit hindi dinadala ng anak ang kasamaan ng ama? Pagka ginawa ng anak ang tapat at matuwid, at nag-ingat ng lahat na aking palatuntunan, at isinagawa, siya'y walang pagsalang mabubuhay.
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.
Ang kaluluwa na nagkakasala, mamamatay: ang anak ay hindi magdadanas ng kasamaan ng ama, o magdadanas man ang ama ng kasamaan ng anak; ang katuwiran ng matuwid ay sasa kaniya, at ang kasamaan ng masama ay sasa kaniya.
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.
Nguni't kung ang masama ay humiwalay sa kaniyang lahat na kasalanan na kaniyang nagawa, at ingatan ang lahat na aking mga palatuntunan, at gumawa ng tapat at matuwid, siya'y walang pagsalang mabubuhay, siya'y hindi mamamatay.
22 None of his transgressions that he has committed shall be remembered against him: in his righteousness that he has done he shall live.
Wala sa kaniyang mga pagsalangsang na nagawa niya na aalalahanin laban sa kaniya: sa kaniyang katuwiran na kaniyang ginawa ay mabubuhay siya.
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?
Mayroon baga akong anomang kasayahan sa kamatayan ng masama? sabi ng Panginoong Dios: at hindi baga mabuti na siya'y humiwalay sa kaniyang lakad, at mabuhay?
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.
Nguni't pagka ang matuwid ay humiwalay sa kaniyang katuwiran, at gumagawa ng kasamaan, at gumagawa ng ayon sa lahat na kasuklamsuklam na ginagawa ng masamang tao, mabubuhay baga siya? Walang aalalahanin sa kaniyang mga matuwid na gawa na kaniyang ginawa: sa kaniyang pagsalangsang na kaniyang isinalangsang, at sa kaniyang kasalanan na kaniyang ipinagkasala, sa mga yaon mamamatay siya.
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?"
Gayon ma'y inyong sinasabi, Ang daan ng Panginoon ay hindi matuwid. Pakinggan mo ngayon, Oh sangbahayan ni Israel, Hindi baga ang aking daan ay matuwid? hindi baga ang iyong mga lakad ang di matuwid?
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.
Pagka ang matuwid ay humihiwalay sa kaniyang katuwiran, at gumagawa ng kasamaan, at kinamamatayan; sa kasamaan na kaniyang nagawa ay mamamatay siya.
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.
Muli, pagka ang masama ay humihiwalay sa kaniyang kasamaan na kaniyang nagawa, at gumawa ng tapat at matuwid, kaniyang ililigtas na buhay ang kaniyang kaluluwa.
28 Because he considers, and turns away from all his transgressions that he has committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
Sapagka't siya'y nagmunimuni, at humiwalay sa lahat niyang pagsalangsang na kaniyang nagawa, siya'y walang pagsalang mabubuhay, siya'y hindi mamamatay.
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?"
Gayon ma'y sabi ng sangbahayan ni Israel, Ang daan ng Panginoon ay hindi matuwid. Oh sangbahayan ni Israel, hindi baga ang aking mga daan ay matuwid? hindi baga ang iyong mga lakad ay ang di matuwid?
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.
Kaya't hahatulan ko kayo, Oh sangbahayan ni Israel, bawa't isa'y ayon sa kaniyang mga lakad, sabi ng Panginoong Dios. Kayo'y mangagbalik-loob, at magsihiwalay kayo sa lahat ninyong pagsalangsang; sa gayo'y ang kasamaan ay hindi magiging inyong kapahamakan.
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?
Inyong iwaksi ang lahat ninyong pagsalangsang, na inyong isinalangsang: at kayo'y magbagong loob at magbagong diwa: sapagka't bakit kayo mamamatay, Oh angkan ni Israel?
32 For I have no pleasure in the death of him who dies,' says Jehovah: 'therefore turn yourselves, and live.'"
Sapagka't wala akong kasayahan sa kamatayan niya na namamatay, sabi ng Panginoong Dios: kaya't magsipagbalik-loob kayo, at kayo'y mangabuhay.
