Ezekiel 18
1 Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
Опет ми дође реч Господња говорећи:
2 “You people quote [RHQ] this proverb [and say that it is] about Israel: ‘Parents/People eat sour grapes, but it is their children who have a very sour taste in their mouths', [which means that you think that it is not fair for you to be punished for your ancestors’ sins].
Шта хоћете ви који говорите причу о земљи Израиљевој говорећи: Оци једоше кисело грожђе, а синовима трну зуби?
3 But [I], Yahweh the Lord, declare that [as surely] as I am alive, you Israeli people will no longer quote that proverb.
Тако ја био жив, говори Господ Господ, нећете више говорити те приче у Израиљу.
4 Everyone [who is alive] belongs to me. That includes children and their parents; they all belong to me. And it is those who sin who will [because of their sins].
Гле, све су душе моје, како душа очева тако и душа синовљева моја је, која душа згреши она ће погинути.
5 [So, ] suppose there is a righteous person [always] does what is fair and right [DOU].
Јер ако је ко праведан и чини суд и правду,
6 He does not [meat sacrificed to idols] on the hilltops, he does not request help from idols. He does not have sex with someone else’s wife or have sex with a woman during her monthly menstrual period.
На горама не једе и очију својих не подиже ка гадним боговима дома Израиљевог, и не скврни жене ближњег свог и не иде к жени одвојеној ради нечистоте,
7 He does not mistreat/oppress people; if [borrows money from him and gives him his cloak to guarantee that he will pay the money back], he always gives the cloak back to that [before the sun goes down]. He does not rob people. He gives food to hungry people. He gives clothing to people who need clothes.
И никоме не чини насиља, залог дужнику свом враћа, ништа не отима, хлеб свој даје гладноме и голога одева,
8 When he lends money to people, he does not [do it just to] charge big interest. He does not do [SYN] things that are evil. He [always] decides things fairly.
Не даје на добит и не узима придавка, од неправде устеже руку своју, и право суди између једног човека и другог,
9 He faithfully obeys all [DOU] my laws. That man is truly righteous; he will remain alive. [That is what I, ] Yahweh the Lord, promise.
По уредбама мојим ходи, и држи законе моје творећи истину; тај је праведан, доиста ће живети, говори Господ Господ.
10 But suppose that man has a son who acts violently, who murders people and does any of these other things, even though his father has not done any of them:
Ако роди сина лупежа, који би крв проливао или би чинио такво шта,
11 He [meat sacrificed to idols] on the hilltops. He has sex with other people’s wives.
А не би чинио све оно, него би јео на горама, и жену ближњег свог скврнио,
12 He mistreats/oppresses poor and needy people. He robs people. If someone gives him his cloak to [that he will pay the money back], he never gives the cloak back to [before the sun goes down]. He seeks help from idols. He does [other] detestable things.
Сиромаху и убогоме насиље чинио, отимао шта, залог не би враћао, и ка гадним боговима подизао би очи своје чинећи гад,
13 When he lends money, he [very big] interest. If you think that such a person [be allowed to] remain alive [RHQ], you are certainly wrong. Because he has done those detestable things, he will surely be executed, and it will be his own fault [IDM].
Давао би на добит, и узимао придавак; хоће ли тај живети? Неће живети; учинио је све те гадове, доиста ће погинути, крв ће његова на њему бити.
14 But suppose that man has a son who sees all the sins that his father commits, but he does not do those things:
Али гле, ако роди сина који би видео све грехе оца свог што чини, и узео би на ум, те не би чинио онако,
15 He does not [meat sacrificed to idols] on the hilltops. He does not request help from idols. He does not have sex with other people’s wives.
Не би јео на горама, нити би очију својих подизао ка гадним боговима дома Израиљевог, жене ближњег свог не би скврнио,
16 He does not mistreat/oppress people. If he lends money to someone, he does not require that person to give him his cloak to guarantee that he will pay the money back. He does not rob anyone. He gives food to those who need it. He gives clothes to those who need clothes.
И никоме не би чинио насиља, залог не би узимао и не би ништа отимао, давао би хлеб свој гладноме и голог би одевао,
17 He does not commit sins, [like his father did], and does not charge big interest [DOU] when he lends money. He faithfully obeys [all] [DOU] my laws. That person will not be executed for his father’s sins; he will surely remain alive.
Од сиромаха би устезао руку своју, не би узимао добити ни придавка, законе би моје извршио и по уредбама мојим ходио; тај неће погинути за безакоње оца свог, доиста ће живети.
18 But his father will be executed for the sins that he committed, because he cheated people and robbed people and did [other] things that are evil.
А отац његов, што је чинио насиље, отимао од брата свог и чинио шта није добро у народу свом, гле, он ће погинути за своје безакоње.
19 [If] you ask, ‘Why should the [man’s] son not (suffer/be punished) for the evil things that his father did?’, [I will answer that] the son has done what is fair and right [DOU] and has obeyed all my laws, so he will surely remain alive.
Али говорите: Зашто да не носи син безакоње очево? Јер син чини суд и правду, све уредбе моје држи и извршује; доиста ће живети.
20 It is those who sin who will [because of their sins]. People will not be punished for the sins of their parents, or for the sins of their children. Good/Righteous people will be rewarded for their being good/righteous, and evil people will be punished for [doing] evil.
Која душа згреши она ће умрети, син неће носити безакоње очево нити ће отац носити безакоње синовљево; на праведнику ће бити правда његова, а на безбожнику ће бити безбожност његова.
21 But if a wicked person (turns away from/quits) doing all the evil things that he did previously, and if he starts to obey faithfully all my laws, and does what is fair and right [DOU], he will surely remain alive; he will not be executed.
Ако ли би се безбожник обратио од свих греха својих које учини, и држао би све уредбе моје и творио суд и правду, доиста ће живети, неће погинути.
22 He will not be punished for the sins he committed [previously]. Because of the good/righteous things that he has done [since that time], he [be allowed to] remain alive.
Безакоња његова што их је год учинио неће му се више спомињати, у правди својој коју чини живеће.
23 [I], Yahweh the Lord, declare that I certainly am not [RHQ] happy about wicked people dying. Instead, I am happy when they turn away from their wicked behavior, [because of that, they] remain alive.
Еда ли је мени мило да погине безбожник? Говори Господ, а не да се одврати од путева својих и буде жив?
24 But if a righteous person stops doing righteous things and [starts to] commit sins and does the same detestable things that wicked people do, he will certainly not [RHQ] [be allowed to] remain alive. I will not think about the righteous things that he did previously. Because he did not [do what pleases me], and because of [all] the sins that he has committed, he will be executed.
Али кад би се праведник одвратио од правде своје и чинио неправду, и радио по свим гадовима које чини безбожник, хоће ли он живети? Праведна дела његова, шта је год чинио, неће се споменути; за безакоње своје које учини за грех свој којим згреши погинуће.
25 But you say, ‘Yahweh does not act fairly!’ You Israeli people, listen to what I say: It is certainly not [RHQ] what I do that is unfair, it is what you continually do that is not fair/right!
Још говорите: Није прав пут Господњи. Чујте, доме Израиљев, мој ли пут није прав? Нису ли ваши путеви неправи?
26 If a righteous person (turns away from/quits) doing what is righteous and commits sins, he will [for committing those sins].
Кад се праведник одврати од правде своје и чини зло и умре за то, умреће за зло своје које учини.
27 But if a wicked person turns away from doing wicked things and does what is just and right [DOU], he will save [from being executed/punished].
А кад се безбожник одврати од безбожности своје коју је чинио, и чини суд и правду, он ће сачувати у животу душу своју.
28 Because he has thought about all the evil things that he did and has turned away from doing them, he will [be allowed to] live. He will not be executed [for having done evil things].
Јер узевши на ум врати се од свих безакоња својих која учини; доиста ће живети, и неће погинути.
29 But [you] Israeli people [MTY] say, ‘Yahweh does not act fairly.’ You people of Israel, my behavior is certainly not [RHQ] unfair! It is your behavior that is not right.
Али дом Израиљев вели: Пут Господњи није прав. Моји ли путеви нису прави? Доме Израиљев, нису ли ваши путеви неправи?
30 Therefore, you Israeli people [MTY], I, Yahweh the Lord, will judge each of you according to what you have done. Repent! Turn [away] from all your wicked behavior! Then you will not be destroyed [PRS] because of your sins.
Зато, доме Израиљев, судићу вам свакоме по путевима његовим, говори Господ; обратите се и прођите се свих греха својих, и неће вам безакоње бити на спотицање.
31 Get rid of all your wicked behavior, and get a new way of thinking [IDM, DOU]. You Israeli people [MTY], (do you really want to be executed for your sins?/you act as though you want to be executed [for your sins]) [RHQ].
Одбаците од себе сва безакоња која чинисте, и начинисте себи ново срце и нов дух; и зашто да мрете? Доме Израиљев.
32 [I], Yahweh the Lord, declare that I am not pleased about your dying. So repent, and remain alive!”
Јер ми није мила смрт оног који мре, говори Господ Господ; обратите се дакле и будите живи.
