Ezekiel 18
1 The word of the LORD came to me again, saying,
फेरि परमप्रभुको वचन यसो भनेर मकहाँ आयो,
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?'
“इस्राएलका देशको बारेमा तैंले उखान भनेको अर्थ के होः “'बाबुहरू अमिलो अङ्गूर खाने र छोराछोरीका दाँत कुडिंने'?
3 As I live, says the LORD, you shall not have occasion any more to use this proverb in Israel.
जस्तो म जीवित छु— यो परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको घोषणा हो—इस्राएलमा तिमीहरूलाई फेरि कहिल्यै यो उखान भन्ने अवसर हुनेछैन ।
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.
हेर, हरेक जीवित प्राण मेरै हो— बुबा र छोरा दुवै मेरा हुन् । जुन प्राणले पाप गर्छ, त्यही मर्नेछ ।
5 "But if a man is just, and does that which is lawful and right,
एक जना धर्मी र न्याय तथा धर्मिकता कायम राख्ने मानिसको बारेमा के भण्न सकिन्छ—
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,
उसले डाँडाहरूमा खाँदैन, वा इस्राएलका घरानाका मूर्तिहरूतिर हेर्दैन, र उसले आफ्नो छिमेकीकी पत्नीलाई अपवित्र पार्दैन, न त महिनावारीको समयमा कुनै स्त्रीकहाँ जान्छ । के ऊ धर्मी मानिस हो?
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;
यस्तो मानिसको बारेमा के भन्न सकिन्छ, जसले कसैलाई थिचोमिचो गर्दैन, र लोन लिनेले धितो राखेको सामान लोन लिनेलाई उसले फर्काउँछ, र उसले चोरी गर्दैन, तर भोकालाई आफ्नो खानेकुरा दिन्छ, र नाङ्गालाई लुगा पहिराउँछ । के ऊ धर्मी मानिस हो?
8 he who has not given forth on interest, neither has taken any increase, who has withdrawn his hand from iniquity, has executed true justice between man and man,
यस्तो मानिसको बारेमा के भन्ने, जसले आफूले दिएको लोनको ब्याज धेरै लिंदैन, र आफूले बेचेको कुरामा धेरै नाफा लिंदैन? उसको बारेमा यसो भनिन्छ, उसले न्याय गर्छ र मानिसहरूका बिचमा विश्वस्तता कायम गर्छ ।
9 has walked in my statutes, and has kept my ordinances, to deal truly; he is just, he shall surely live," says the LORD.
एक जना मानिस मेरा विधिहरू पालन गर्छ, र विश्वाससित मेरा नियमहरू मान्छ भने त्यो धर्मी मानिसको निम्ति प्रतिज्ञा यो होः त्यो निश्चय नै बाँच्नेछ— यो परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको घोषणा हो ।
10 "If he fathers a son who is a robber, a shedder of blood, and who does any one of these things,
तर मानौं, उसको एक जना हिंस्रक छोरो छ, जसले हत्या गर्छ र यी माथि उल्लेखित कुनै पनि काम गर्छ,
11 and who does not any of those duties, but even has eaten on the mountains, and defiled his neighbor's wife,
(उसका बुबाले यी कुरामध्ये एउटै पनि नगरेको भए पनि) । उसले डाँडाहरूमा खान्छ, र आफ्नो छिमेकीकी पत्नीलाई बिटुलो पार्छ । उसको बारेमा के भन्न सकिन्छ र?
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,
यो मानिसले गरीब र दरिद्रमाथि थिचोमिचो गर्छ, र उसले लुट्छ र डकैती गर्छ र धितो फर्काउँदैन, अनि उसले आफ्ना आँखा मूर्तिहरूतिर उचाल्छ, र घिनलाग्दा कामहरू गर्छ,
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.
र उसले महंगो ब्याजमा रुपियाँ दिन्छ र आफूले बेचेको कुरामा धेरै मुनाफा कमाउँछ । के यस्तो मानिस जीवित रहनुपर्छ? ऊ निश्चय पनि जीवित रहँदैन । ऊ निश्चय मर्नेछ र उसको रगत उसकै शिरमाथि पर्नेछ किनभने उसले यी सबै घिनलाग्दा कुराहरू गरेको छ ।
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;
तर हेर, मानौं एक जना मानिस छ र उसको एक जना छोरो छ, जसले आफ्ना बुबाले गरेका सबै पापहरू देख्छ, अनि उसले ती देखे तापनि उसले ती कुराहरू गर्दैन ।
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,
त्यो छोरोले डाँडाका थानहरूमा खाँदैन, र उसले इस्राएलका घरानाका मूर्तिहरूतिर आफ्ना आँखा लगाउँदैन, र उसले आफ्नो छिमेकीकी पत्नीलाई बिटुलो पार्दैन । उसको बारेमा के भन्न सकिन्छ?
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;
त्यो छोरोले कसैलाई थिचोमिचो गर्दैन, वा बन्धक खोस्दैन वा चोरीका सामानहरू लिंदैन, तर त्यसको साटोमा आफ्नो खानेकुरा भोकालाई दिन्छ, र नाङ्गालाई लुगाले ढाक्छ ।
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.
त्यो छोरोले कसैलाई थिचोमिचो गर्दैन वा महंगो ब्याज लिंदैन वा लोनबाट धेरै मुनाफा कमाउँदैन, तर उसले मेरा नियमहरू मान्छ, र मेरा विधिहरूअनुसार हिंड्छ । त्यो छोरो आफ्नो बुबाका पापको कारण मर्नेछैनः ऊ निश्चय नै बाँच्नेछ ।
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.
उसको बुबाले अरूबाट जबरदस्ती लिएर थिचोमिचो गरेको र आफ्नो भाइको डकैती गरेको, र आफ्ना मानिसहरूका माझमा जे असल छैन त्यही गरेको कारणले, हेर, ऊ आफ्नो अधर्ममा मर्नेछ ।
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.
तर तिमीहरू भन्छौ, 'छोरोले आफ्नो बुबाको अधर्मको फल भोग्नु किन नपर्ने?' किनकि छोराले न्याय र धार्मिकता पुरा गर्छ र मेरा सबै विधिहरू पालन गर्छ । उसले ती पुरा गर्छ । ऊ निश्चय नै बाँच्नेछ ।
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.
जसले पाप गर्छ, मर्नेचाहिं उही हो । छोरोले आफ्नो बुबाको अधर्मको फल भोग्नेछैन, र बुबाले आफ्नो छोराको अधर्मको फल भोग्नेछैन । ठिक काम गर्नेको धार्मिकता उसमाथि नै रहनेछ र दुष्टको दुष्ट्याइँ पनि उसमाथि नै रहनेछ ।
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.
तर कुनै दुष्ट मानिसले आफूले गरेका सबै पापहरू त्याग्छ र मेरा सबै विधिहरू पालन गर्छ, र न्याय र धार्मिकता कायम गर्छ भने, ऊ निश्चय नै बाँच्नेछ, र मर्नेछैन ।
22 None of his transgressions that he has committed shall be remembered against him: in his righteousness that he has done he shall live.
उसको विरुद्धमा उसले गरेको सारा अपराधको सम्झना फेरि गरिनेछैन । उसले अभ्यास गरेको धर्मिकताको कारणले ऊ बाँच्नेछ ।
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?
के दुष्टको मृत्युमा म खुशी हुन्छु र—यो परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको घोषणा हो—र ऊ बाँचोस् भनी ऊ आफ्नो चाल छोडेर फर्केकोमा खुसी हुन्न र?
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.
तर धर्मी मानिसले आफ्नो धार्मिकतालाई त्यागेर पाप गर्छ, र दुष्ट मानिसले गरेका घिनलाग्दा कामहरू गर्छ भने, के त्यो बाँच्नेछ र? उसले विद्रोह गरेर मलाई धोका दिएको कारणले उसले अघि गरेको कुनै पनि धर्मिकताको कामको सम्झना हुनेछैन । यसैले उसले गरेका पापहरूमा नै ऊ मर्नेछ ।
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?"
तर तिमीहरू भन्छौ, 'परमप्रभुको चाल न्यायपुर्ण छैन' । ए इस्राएलका घराना, सुन । के मेरो चालहरू न्यायपुर्ण छैनन्? अन्यायपुर्ण त तिमीहरूका चालहरू होइनन् र?
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.
जब धर्मी मानिसले आफ्नो धार्मिकता त्याग्छ र अधर्म गर्छ, र तिनका कारणले मर्छ, तब ऊ आफैले गरको अधर्मको कारणले ऊ मर्छ ।
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.
तर जब दुष्ट मानिसले आफूले गरेका दुष्ट कामबाट फर्कन्छ, र न्याय र धार्मिकता कायम गर्छ, तब उसले आफ्नो जीवन बचाउनेछ ।
28 Because he considers, and turns away from all his transgressions that he has committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
किनकि आफूले गरेका सबै अपराधहरू उसले देखेको छ र तीबाट फर्केको छ । ऊ निश्चय नै बाँच्नेछ, र ऊ मर्नेछैन ।
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?"
तर इस्राएलको घरानाले भन्छ, 'परमप्रभुको चाल न्यायपुर्ण छैन' । ए इस्राएलको घराना, मेरो चाल कसरी न्यायपुर्ण छैन? तिमीहरूको चालचाहिं न्यायपुर्ण छैन ।
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.
यसकारण, ए इस्राएलका घराना, म तिमीहरू हरेक मानिसको न्याय उसको चालअनुसार गर्नेछु— यो परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको घोषणा हो । पश्चात्ताप गर, आफ्ना सबै अपराधहरूबाट फर्क, ताकि तिमीहरूको पाप तिमीहरूको विरुद्ध ठेस लाग्ने ढुङ्गाहरू नबनून् ।
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?
तिमीहरूले गरेका सबै अपराधहरू आफूलाई अलग गर । आफ्ना निम्ति नयाँ हृदय र नयाँ आत्मा बनाओ । तिमीहरू किन मर्छौ, ए इस्राएलका घराना?
32 For I have no pleasure in the death of him who dies,' says the LORD: 'therefore turn yourselves, and live.'"
किनकि मर्नेको मृत्युमा म खुसी हुन्न—यो परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको घोषणा हो—यसैले पश्चात्ताप गर, र बाँच ।
