Ezekiel 18
1 And the word of Yahweh came unto me saying:
HIKI hou mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
2 What occasion have ye, to be using this proverb, concerning the soil of Israel, saying, —Fathers eat sour grapes, And the children’s teeth are blunted?
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, Declareth My Lord, Yahweh, Surely ye shall have occasion no longer 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 Lo! as for all persons, mine they are, As the person of the father, so also the person of the son, mine they are, —The person that sinneth, the same 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 when, any man, shall be righteous, and do justice and righteousness:
Aka, ina he pono ke kanaka, a hana hoi ia i ka mea ku i ke kanawai a me ka maikai,
6 Upon the mountains, hath not eaten, And his eyes, hath not lifted up unto the manufactured gods of the house of Israel, And the wife of his neighbour, hath not defiled, And unto a woman during her removal, hath not approached;
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 no man, hath treated with violence, But his debt-pledge, hath restored. Plunder, hath not seized, — His bread—to the famished, hath given, And the naked, hath covered with clothing;
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 Upon interest, hath not put out his money. And increase, hath not accepted, From dishonesty, hath turned back his hand, — Justice in truth, hath done, 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 In my statutes, hath walked. And my regulations, hath observed to do them in truth, Righteous, he is, He shall surely live, Declareth My Lord. Yahweh.
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 But he hath begotten a son Who is a violent man A shedder of blood, - Who doeth the like of any 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 Whereas he, none of those other things, doeth, For indeed upon the mountains, he hath eaten, And the wife of his neighbour, hath defiled;
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 The oppressed and the needy, hath treated with violence, Hath ruthlessly plundered, The pledge, hath not restored, But unto the manufactured gods, hath lifted up his eyes, Abomination, hath wrought;
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 Upon interest, hath put out. And increase, hath accepted—, And shall he live? He shall not live All these abominations, he hath done, He shall surely be put to death, His blood, upon himself, shall be.
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 But lo! he hath begotten a son, Who hath considered all the sins of his father which he hath done, - Yea he hath considered and not done like them:
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 Upon the mountains, hath not eaten, And his eyes, hath not lifted up unto the manufactured gods of the house of Israel, The wife of his neighbour, hath not defiled;
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 And no man, hath he treated with violence, Hath by no means withholden the pledge, And plunder, hath not seized, — His bread—to the famished, hath given And the naked, hath covered with clothing;
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 From dishonesty, hath turned back his hand Neither interest nor increase, hath accepted, my regulations, hath executed, In my statutes, hath walked, — 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 His father Because he exacted unjust gain Seized plunder of a brother, And that which was not good, had done in the midst of his people Therefore lo! he died, 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 Will ye then say. Why hath not the son borne a part of the iniquity of the father? But the son hath done justice and righteousness, All my statutes, hath observed and 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 person that sinneth, the same, shall die, — A, son, shall not bear a part of the iniquity of, the father Neither shall, a father, bear a part of the iniquity of the son, the righteousness of the righteous, upon himself, shall be. And, the lawlessness of a lawless man, upon himself, shall be.
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 as for the lawless man— When he shall turn back from all his sins which he hath committed, And observe all my statutes, And do justice and righteousness 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 which he hath committed shall be remembered against him, —In his righteousness which he hath 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 Could I take delight, in the death of the lawless? Demandeth My Lord. Yahweh. Must it not be in his turning from his ways in which case he shall 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 a righteous man, shall turn away, from his righteousness and do that which is perverse, Shall do, according to all the abominations which the lawless man hath done, Shall he live? None of his righteous acts which he hath done, shall be remembered, In his treachery wherein he hath been treacherous, And in his sin wherein he hath 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 Can ye then say— The way of My Lord will not be equal? Hear I pray you O house of Israel, Will my way, not be equal? Will not your ways be 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 a righteous man shall turn away from his righteousness and do that which is perverse and die because of those things In his own perversity which he hath 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 But when a lawless man turneth away from his lawlessness which he hath done, And hath done justice and righteousness He, shall save his own 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 When he considered, then he turned away from all his transgressions which he had 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 Can the house of Israel then say- The way of My Lord will not be equal? Will my ways, not be equal O house of Israel? Will not your ways be unequal?
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, Every man according to his own ways, will I judge you O house of Israel, Declareth My Lord Yahweh, Return ye—and make good your return—from all your transgressions, That they become not unto you a stumbling block of iniquity.
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 off from you all your transgressions which ye have committed against me, And make you a new heart; And a new spirit, - For why should ye die, O 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 cannot take delight in the death of him that dieth, Declareth My Lord Yahweh, Make good your return then 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.
