Ezekiel 18
1 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
Yehova anandiyankhula nati:
2 What? [is] to you you [are] speaking a proverb the proverb this on [the] land of Israel saying parents they eat sour grape[s] and [the] teeth of the children (they are blunt. *LA(bh)*)
“Kodi anthu inu mumatanthauza chiyani mukamabwerezabwereza kunena mwambi uwu wokhudza dziko la Israeli kuti: “‘Nkhuyu zodya akulu zimapota ndi ana omwe?’”
3 [by] [the] life Of me [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh if it will belong to you again to speak a proverb the proverb this in Israel.
“Ndithu pali Ine wamoyo, akutero Ambuye Yehova, simudzanenanso mwambi umenewu mu Israeli.
4 Here! all lives [belong] to me they as [the] life of the parent and as [the] life of the child [belong] to me they the soul which sins it it will die.
Pakuti moyo uliwonse ndi wanga. Moyo wa abambo ndi wanga, wamwananso ndi wanga. Munthu wochimwa ndi amene adzafe.
5 And anyone for he will be righteous and he will do justice and righteousness.
“Tiyerekeze kuti pali munthu wolungama amene amachita zolungama ndi zolondola.
6 To the mountains not he has eaten and eyes his not he has lifted up to [the] idols of [the] house of Israel and [the] wife of neighbor his not he has defiled and to a woman menstruation not he drew near.
Iye sadyera nawo pa mapiri a chipembedzo kapena kupembedza mafano a Aisraeli. Iye sayipitsa mkazi wa mnzake kapena kugonana ndi mkazi pamene akusamba.
7 And anyone not he oppressed pledge his a debt he returned robbery not he robbed food his to [the] hungry he gave and [the] naked he covered clothing.
Iye sapondereza munthu wina aliyense, koma amabwezera wangongole nʼchigwiriro chake. Iye salanda zinthu za osauka, koma amapereka chakudya kwa anthu anjala, ndipo amapereka zovala kwa anthu ausiwa.
8 For interest not he lent and interest not he took from injustice he turned away hand his justice of faithfulness he did between a person and a person.
Iye sakongoletsa ndalama mwa katapira, kapena kulandira chiwongoladzanja chachikulu. Amadziletsa kuchita zoyipa ndipo sakondera poweruza milandu.
9 In statutes my he walked and judgments my he has kept by doing faithfulness [is] righteous he certainly he will live [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
Iye amatsatira malangizo anga, ndipo amasunga malamulo anga mokhulupirika. Munthu ameneyo ndi wolungama; iye adzakhala ndithu ndi moyo, akutero Ambuye Yehova.
10 And he will father a son violent [who] sheds blood and he will do alas! any one of these [things].
“Tiyerekeze kuti munthu wolungama chotere wabala mwana chimbalangondo amene amakhalira kupha anthu ndi kuchita zinthu zina zotere.
11 And he all these [things] not he did for also to the mountains he has eaten and [the] wife of neighbor his he has defiled.
Iye nʼkumachita zinthu zimene ngakhale abambo ake sanachitepo. “Amadyera nawo ku mapiri achipembedzo. Amayipitsa mkazi wa mnzake.
12 [the] poor And [the] needy he has oppressed robberies he has robbed a pledge not he returned and to the idols he has lifted up eyes his abomination he has done.
Iye amapondereza munthu wosauka ndi wosowa. Amalanda zinthu za osauka. Sabweza chikole cha munthu wa ngongole. Iye amatembenukira ku mafano nachita zonyansa.
13 For interest he has lent and interest he has taken and will he live? not he will live all the abominations these he has done certainly he will be put to death blood his on him it will be.
Iye amakongoletsa mwa katapira ndipo amalandira chiwongoladzanja chachikulu. Kodi munthu wotereyu nʼkukhala ndi moyo? Ayi ndithu! Chifukwa wachita zinthu zonyansa zonsezi, adzaphedwa ndipo adzalandira chilango chomuyenera.
14 And there! he has fathered a child and he has seen all [the] sins of father his which he did and he saw and not he did like them.
“Tsono tiyerekeze kuti munthu woyipa uyu wabala mwana amene amaona machimo onse amene abambo ake ankachita. Ngakhale amaona koma osatsanzira ntchito zake zoyipazo.
15 On the mountains not he has eaten and eyes his not he has lifted up to [the] idols of [the] house of Israel [the] wife of neighbor his not he has defiled.
“Sadyera nawo pa mapiri achipembedzo. Sapembedza mafano a ku Israeli. Sayipitsa mkazi wa mnzake.
16 And anyone not he has oppressed a pledge not he has taken as pledge and robbery not he has robbed food his to [the] hungry he has given and [the] naked he has covered clothing.
Sapondereza munthu wina aliyense. Satenga chikole akabwereketsa chinthu. Salanda zinthu za osauka. Salanda zinthu za munthu. Amapereka chakudya kwa anthu anjala. Amapereka zovala kwa anthu aumphawi.
17 From [the] poor he has turned away hand his interest and interest not he has taken judgments my he has done in statutes my he has walked he not he will die for [the] iniquity of father his certainly he will live.
Amadziletsa kuchita zoyipa. Sakongoletsa kuti apezepo phindu. Salandira chiwongoladzanja. Amasunga malangizo anga ndi kumvera malamulo anga. Munthu wotereyo sadzafa chifukwa cha machimo a abambo ake. Adzakhala ndi moyo ndithu.
18 Father his for he has extorted extortion he has robbed robbery of a brother and [that] which not [was] good he has done in among people his and there! he will die for iniquity his.
Koma abambo ake, popeza kuti anazunza anthu ena ndi kubera mʼbale wawo ndiponso popeza kuti sanachitire zabwino anansi ake, adzafera machimo ake omwe.
19 And you say why? not has he borne the child in [the] iniquity of the parent and the child justice and righteousness he has done all statutes my he has kept and he has done them certainly he will live.
“Mwina inu mukhoza kufunsa kuti, ‘Nʼchifukwa chiyani mwana salangidwa chifukwa cha kulakwa kwa abambo ake? Ayi, mwanayo adzakhala ndi moyo chifukwa ankachita zolungama ndi zolondola ndipo ankasamala kumvera malamulo anga onse.
20 The soul which sins it it will die a child not he will bear - in [the] iniquity of the parent and a parent not he will bear in [the] iniquity of the child [the] righteousness of the righteous [person] on him it will be and [the] wickedness of (the wicked [person] *Q(K)*) on him it will be.
Munthu wochimwa ndiye amene adzafe. Mwana sadzapezeka wolakwa chifukwa cha abambo ake, kapena abambo kupezeka wolakwa chifukwa cha mwana wawo. Chilungamo cha munthu wolungama ndicho chidzamupulutse, ndipo kuyipa kwa munthu wochimwa ndiko kudzamuwonongetse.
21 And the wicked [person] if he will turn away from all (sins his *Q(K)*) which he has done and he will keep all (statutes my *LAB(h)*) and he will do justice and righteousness certainly he will live not he will die.
“‘Munthu woyipa akatembenuka mtima ndi kusiya machimo amene ankachita ndi kuyamba kumvera malamulo anga ndi kumachita zolungama ndi zokhulupirika, ndiye kuti adzakhala ndi moyo. Sadzafa ayi.
22 All transgressions his which he has done not they will be remembered to him for righteousness his which he has done he will live.
Zoyipa zake zonse zidzakhululukidwa. Chifukwa cha zinthu zolungama zimene anazichita adzakhala ndi moyo.
23 ¿ Really do I take pleasure in [the] death of [the] wicked [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh ¿ not when turning back he from ways his and he will live.
Kodi Ine ndimakondwera ndi imfa ya munthu woyipa? Ayi, ndimakondwera pamene woyipa watembenuka mtima kuti akhale ndi moyo. Akutero Ambuye Yehova.
24 And when turns away [the] righteous from righteousness his and he will do injustice according to all the abominations which he did the wicked [person] he will do and will he live? all (righteousness his *Q(K)*) which he did not they will be remembered for unfaithfulness his which he has acted unfaithfully and for sin his which he has sinned for them he will die.
“‘Koma ngati munthu wolungama apatuka kusiya zachilungamo ndi kuyamba kuchita tchimo ndi zonyansa za mtundu uliwonse zimene amachita anthu oyipa, kodi munthu wotereyu nʼkukhala ndi moyo? Ayi ndithu, zolungama zake zonse sizidzakumbukiridwa. Iye adzayenera kufa chifukwa cha machimo amene anachita.
25 And you say not it is correct [the] way of [the] Lord listen please O house of Israel ¿ way my not is it correct ¿ not ways your not are they correct.
“Komabe inu mukunena kuti, ‘Zimene Ambuye amachita ndi zopanda chilungamo.’ Tamvani tsono inu Aisraeli: Kodi zochita zanga ndizo zosalungama? Kodi si zochita zanu zimene ndi zosalungama?
26 When turns away [the] righteous from righteousness his and he will do injustice and he will die on them for injustice his which he has done he will die.
Ngati munthu wolungama atembenuka kusiya chilungamo chake ndi kuchita tchimo, iye adzafa chifukwa cha tchimolo.
27 And when turns away [the] wicked from wickedness his which he has done and he did justice and righteousness he life his he will preserve alive.
Koma ngati munthu woyipa aleka zoyipa zake zimene anazichita ndi kuyamba kuchita zimene ndi zolungama ndi zolondola, iye adzapulumutsa moyo wake.
28 And he saw (and he turned away *Q(k)*) from all transgressions his which he had done certainly he will live not he will die.
Popeza waganizira za zolakwa zonse ankachita ndipo wazileka, iye adzakhala ndi moyo ndithu; sadzafa.
29 And they say [the] house of Israel not it is correct [the] way of [the] Lord ¿ ways my not are they correct O house of Israel ¿ not ways your not is it correct.
Komabe Aisraeli akunena kuti, ‘Zimene Ambuye amachita ndi zopanda chilungamo.’ Kodi zochita zanga ndizo zopanda chilungamo, inu Aisraeli? Kodi si zochita zanu zimene ndi zopanda chilungamo?
30 Therefore everyone according to ways his I will judge you O house of Israel [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh turn back and turn away from all transgressions your and not it will become for you a stumbling block iniquity.
“Chifukwa chake Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: inu Aisraeli, Ine ndidzakuweruzani aliyense wa inu molingana ndi ntchito zake. Lapani! Lekani zoyipa zanu kuti musawonongeke nazo.
31 Throw away from with you all transgressions your which you have transgressed by them and make for yourselves a heart new and a spirit new and why? will you die O house of Israel.
Tayani zolakwa zanu zonse zimene munandichimwira nazo ndipo khalani ndi mtima watsopano ndi mzimu watsopano. Kodi muferanji inu Aisraeli?
32 For not I take pleasure in [the] death of the [one who] dies [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh and turn away and live.
Ine sindikondwera ndi imfa ya munthu aliyense, akutero Ambuye Yehova. Chifukwa chake, lapani kuti mukhale ndi moyo.”
