Ezekiel 18
1 The word of the LORD came to me again, saying,
et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens
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?
quid est quod inter vos parabolam vertitis in proverbium istud in terra Israhel dicentes patres comederunt uvam acerbam et dentes filiorum obstupescunt
3 [As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, ye shall not have [occasion] any more to use this proverb in Israel.
vivo ego dicit Dominus Deus si erit vobis ultra parabola haec in proverbium in Israhel
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.
ecce omnes animae meae sunt ut anima patris ita et anima filii mea est anima quae peccaverit ipsa morietur
5 But if a man is just, and doeth that which is lawful and right,
et vir si fuerit iustus et fecerit iudicium et iustitiam
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 neighbor's wife, neither hath come near to a polluted woman,
in montibus non comederit et oculos suos non levaverit ad idola domus Israhel et uxorem proximi sui non violaverit et ad mulierem menstruatam non accesserit
7 And hath not oppressed any, [but] hath restored to the debtor his pledge, hath stripped none by violence, hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment:
et hominem non contristaverit pignus debitori reddiderit per vim nihil rapuerit panem suum esurienti dederit et nudum operuerit vestimento
8 He [that] hath not given forth upon interest, neither hath taken any increase, [that] hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity, hath executed true judgment between man and man,
ad usuram non commodaverit et amplius non acceperit ab iniquitate averterit manum suam iudicium verum fecerit inter virum et virum
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.
in praeceptis meis ambulaverit et iudicia mea custodierit ut faciat veritatem hic iustus est vita vivet ait Dominus Deus
10 If he begetteth a son [that is] a robber, a shedder of blood, and [that] doeth the like to [any] one of these [things],
quod si genuerit filium latronem effundentem sanguinem et fecerit unum de istis
11 And that doeth not any of those [duties], but even hath eaten upon the mountains, and defiled his neighbor's wife,
et haec quidem omnia non facientem sed in montibus comedentem et uxorem proximi sui polluentem
12 Hath oppressed the poor and needy, hath stripped by violence, hath not restored the pledge, and hath lifted up his eyes to the idols, hath committed abomination.
egenum et pauperem contristantem rapientem rapinas pignus non reddentem et ad idola levantem oculos suos abominationem facientem
13 Hath given forth upon interest, 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.
ad usuram dantem et amplius accipientem numquid vivet non vivet cum universa detestanda haec fecerit morte morietur sanguis eius in ipso erit
14 Now lo, [if] he begetteth a son, that seeth all his father's sins which he hath done, and considereth, and doeth not such like,
quod si genuerit filium qui videns omnia peccata patris sui quae fecit timuerit et non fecerit simile eis
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 neighbor's wife,
super montes non comederit et oculos suos non levaverit ad idola domus Israhel et uxorem proximi sui non violaverit
16 Neither hath oppressed any, hath not withheld the pledge, neither hath stripped by violence, [but] hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment,
et virum non contristaverit pignus non retinuerit et rapinam non rapuerit panem suum esurienti dederit et nudum operuerit vestimento
17 [That] hath taken off his hand from the poor, [that] hath not received interest 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.
a pauperis iniuria averterit manum suam usuram et superabundantiam non acceperit iudicia mea fecerit in praeceptis meis ambulaverit hic non morietur in iniquitate patris sui sed vita vivet
18 [As for] his father, because he cruelly oppressed, stripped his brother by violence, and did [that] which [is] not good among his people, lo, even he shall die in his iniquity.
pater eius quia calumniatus est et vim fecit fratri et malum operatus est in medio populi sui ecce mortuus est in iniquitate sua
19 Yet say ye, Why? 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.
et dicitis quare non portavit filius iniquitatem patris videlicet quia filius iudicium et iustitiam operatus est omnia praecepta mea custodivit et fecit illa vita vivet
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.
anima quae peccaverit ipsa morietur filius non portabit iniquitatem patris et pater non portabit iniquitatem filii iustitia iusti super eum erit et impietas impii erit super eum
21 But if the wicked will 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.
si autem impius egerit paenitentiam ab omnibus peccatis suis quae operatus est et custodierit universa praecepta mea et fecerit iudicium et iustitiam vita vivet non morietur
22 All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned to him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live.
omnium iniquitatum eius quas operatus est non recordabor in iustitia sua quam operatus est vivet
23 Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: [and] not that he should return from his ways, and live?
numquid voluntatis meae est mors impii dicit Dominus Deus et non ut convertatur a viis suis et vivat
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? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die.
si autem averterit se iustus a iustitia sua et fecerit iniquitatem secundum omnes abominationes quas operari solet impius numquid vivet omnes iustitiae eius quas fecerat non recordabuntur in praevaricatione qua praevaricatus est et in peccato suo quod peccavit in ipsis morietur
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?
et dixistis non est aequa via Domini audite domus Israhel numquid via mea non est aequa et non magis viae vestrae pravae sunt
26 When a righteous [man] turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and dieth in them; for his iniquity that he hath done shall he die.
cum enim averterit se iustus a iustitia sua et fecerit iniquitatem morietur in eis in iniustitia quam operatus est morietur
27 Again, when a 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.
et cum averterit se impius ab impietate sua quam operatus est et fecerit iudicium et iustitiam ipse animam suam vivificabit
28 Because he considereth and turneth away from all his transgressions that he hath committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
considerans enim et avertens se ab omnibus iniquitatibus suis quas operatus est vita vivet et non morietur
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?
et dicunt filii Israhel non est aequa via Domini numquid viae meae non sunt aequae domus Israhel et non magis viae vestrae pravae
30 Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord God. Repent, and turn [yourselves] from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.
idcirco unumquemque iuxta vias suas iudicabo domus Israhel ait Dominus Deus convertimini et agite paenitentiam ab omnibus iniquitatibus vestris et non erit vobis in ruinam iniquitas
31 Cast away from you all your transgressions, by which ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
proicite a vobis omnes praevaricationes vestras in quibus praevaricati estis et facite vobis cor novum et spiritum novum et quare moriemini domus Israhel
32 For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn [ye], and live.
quia nolo mortem morientis dicit Dominus Deus revertimini et vivite
