Ezekiel 18
1 The word of the LORD came to me again, saying,
Niheo amako indraike ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe;
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?'
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, says the LORD, you shall not have occasion any more to use this proverb in Israel.
Aa kanao velon-dRaho, hoe t’Iehovà Talè, le tsy hanam-pototse ka nahareo hanoñoñe i razan-drehakey e Israele ao.
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.
Oniño te kila ahy ze arofo; fonga ahy ty fiain-drae naho ty fiain’anake; ze ondaty manao hakeo ro hihomake.
5 "But if a man is just, and does that which is lawful and right,
Fa naho vantañe t’indaty, manao ty hahiti’e naho ty havañonañe,
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,
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 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;
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8 he who has not given forth on interest, neither has taken any increase, who has withdrawn his hand from iniquity, has executed true justice between man and man,
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 has walked in my statutes, and has kept my ordinances, to deal truly; he is just, he shall surely live," says the LORD.
vaho mañavelo amo fañèkoo naho mitàna o fepèkoo hanao ty hiti’e. Vañon-dre tsi-mete tsy ho veloñe, hoe t’Iehovà Talè.
10 "If he fathers a son who is a robber, a shedder of blood, and who does any one of these things,
Aa ie mahatoly anake ho malaso ndra mpampiori-dio
11 and who does not any of those duties, but even has eaten on the mountains, and 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 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,
mamorekeke ty rarake naho ty poi’e, mikizo, tsy mañavake songo, miandra amy ze samposampo, mbore manao hativàñe,
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.
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 "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;
Aa ie misamak’ anake maharendreke o hene hakeo nanoen-droae’eo, le ndra te oni’e tsy orihe’e,
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,
tsy mikama am-bohitsey, tsy miandra amo samposampo’ Israeleo, tsy mandeotse ty valin-drañe’e,
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;
naho tsy mamorekeke ondaty, tsy mitana ty tsinoa’e, tsy mampikametse, te mone fahana’e ty saliko, saroña’e sikiñe ty miboridañe
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.
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 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.
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 "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.
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 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.
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 "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.
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 None of his transgressions that he has committed shall be remembered against him: in his righteousness that he has done he shall live.
Tsy ho volilieñe ama’e o fiolàñe iaby nanoe’eo; o havañonañe anoe’eo ro hiveloma’e.
23 Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked?" says the LORD; "and not rather that he should return from his way, and live?
Paiako hao ty fihomaha’ o lo-tserekeo? hoe t’Iehovà Talè, Tsy hàmake te apo’e o sata’eo, soa te ho veloñe?
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.
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 "'Yet you say, "The way of the LORD is not just." Hear now, house of Israel: "Is my way not just? Aren't your ways unjust?"
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 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.
Naho apo’ ty vantañe ty havantaña’e vaho manao hakeo, le hihomake re; o tahiñe nanoe’eo ty hivetraha’e.
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.
Ie ka, naho aforintse’ i tsivokatsey o tsy havokarañe nanoe’eo, vaho mañavelo ami’ty fahiti’e naho ty havantañañe le hirombak’aiñe.
28 Because he considers, and turns away from all his transgressions that he has committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
Kanao nioni’e naho fonga nado’e o fiolàñe nanoe’eo, le toe ho veloñe; tsy hihomake.
29 Yet the house of Israel says, "The way of the LORD is not just." "House of Israel, aren't my ways just? Aren't your ways unjust?"
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 will judge you, house of Israel, everyone according to his ways,' says the LORD. 'Return, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.
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 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?
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 him who dies,' says the LORD: 'therefore turn yourselves, and live.'"
Toe tsy mahafale ahy ty fihomaha’ i mikoromakey, hoe t’Iehovà Talè; aa le mimpolia soa te ho veloñe.
