Ezekiel 18
1 The word of the Lord came unto me again, saying,
Niheo amako indraike ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe;
2 What mean ye, that ye 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, saith the Lord GOD, ye 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 Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it 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 be just, and do that which is lawful and right,
Fa naho vantañe t’indaty, manao ty hahiti’e naho ty havañonañe,
6 and hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, neither hath defiled his neighbour’s wife, neither hath come near to a woman in her separation;
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 hath not wronged any, but hath restored to the debtor his pledge, hath spoiled none by violence, hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath 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8 he that hath not given forth upon usury, neither hath taken any increase, that hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity, hath executed true judgment between man and man,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 hath walked in my statutes, and hath kept my judgments, to deal truly; he is just, he shall surely live, saith the Lord GOD.
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 beget a son that is a robber, a shedder of blood, and that doeth any one of these things,
Aa ie mahatoly anake ho malaso ndra mpampiori-dio
11 and that doeth not any of those [duties], but even hath eaten upon the mountains, and defiled his neighbour’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 hath wronged the poor and needy, hath spoiled by violence, hath not restored the pledge, and hath lifted up his eyes to the idols, hath committed abomination,
mamorekeke ty rarake naho ty poi’e, mikizo, tsy mañavake songo, miandra amy ze samposampo, mbore manao hativàñe,
13 hath given forth upon usury, and hath taken increase: shall he then live? he shall not live: he hath done all these abominations: he shall surely die; his blood shall be upon 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, lo, if he beget a son, that seeth all his father’s sins, which he hath done, and feareth, and doth not such like,
Aa ie misamak’ anake maharendreke o hene hakeo nanoen-droae’eo, le ndra te oni’e tsy orihe’e,
15 that hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, hath not defiled his neighbour’s wife,
tsy mikama am-bohitsey, tsy miandra amo samposampo’ Israeleo, tsy mandeotse ty valin-drañe’e,
16 neither hath wronged any, hath not taken aught to pledge, neither hath spoiled by violence, but hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath 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 that hath withdrawn his hand from the poor, that hath not received usury nor increase, hath executed my judgments, hath 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, spoiled his brother by violence, and did that which is not good among his people, behold, 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 say ye, Wherefore doth not the son bear the iniquity of the father? When the son hath done that which is lawful and right, and hath kept all my statutes, and hath 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 that sinneth, it 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 upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon 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 hath 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 hath committed shall be remembered against him: in his righteousness that he hath 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? saith the Lord GOD: 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 turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? None of his righteous deeds that he hath done shall be remembered: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath 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 ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear now, O house of Israel: Is not my way equal? are not your ways unequal?
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 turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and dieth therein; in his iniquity that he hath 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 turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth 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 considereth, and turneth away from all his transgressions that he hath 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 saith the house of Israel, The way of the Lord is not equal. O house of Israel, are not my ways equal? are not your ways unequal?
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, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord GOD. Return ye, 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, whereto ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye 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 him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live.
Toe tsy mahafale ahy ty fihomaha’ i mikoromakey, hoe t’Iehovà Talè; aa le mimpolia soa te ho veloñe.
