Ezekiel 18
1 The word of the LORD came to me again, saying,
Ary tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao 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?
Nahoana no manao izao ohabolana izao ao amin’ ny tanin’ ny Isiraely ianareo: Ny ray no mihinana voaloboka maharikivy, ka ny nifin’ ny zanany no madilo?
3 [As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, ye shall not have [occasion] any more to use this proverb in Israel.
Rana velona koa Aho, hoy Jehovah Tompo, tsy hisy hanaovanareo izany ohabolana izany ao amin’ ny Isiraely intsony.
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.
Indro, Ahy ny fanahy rehetra: toy ny fanahin’ ny ray, dia toy izany koa ny fanahin’ ny zanany; samy Ahy ireny; ny fanahy izay manota no ho faty.
5 But if a man is just, and doeth that which is lawful and right,
Fa raha marina ny olona ka manao izay marina sy mahitsy,
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,
fa tsy mihinana eny an-tendrombohitra, na manandratra ny masony ho amin’ ny sampin’ ny taranak’ Isiraely, na mandoto ny vadin’ ny namany, na manakaiky ny vehivavy izay mararin’ ny fadim-bolana,
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:
na mampahory olona, fa mamerina ny natao tsatòka, ary tsy mandroba, fa manome ny haniny ho an’ ny noana ary manafy lamba ny matanjaka,
8 He [that] hath not given forth upon interest, neither hath taken any increase, [that] hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity, hath executed true judgment between man and man,
tsy mampanàna vola, na maka tombony akory, fa miaro ny tanany tsy hanao ratsy ary manao fitsarana marina amin’ ny miady,
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.
ary mandeha araka ny lalàko sy ny mitandrina ny fitsipiko ka manao izay marina, dia marina izy ka ho velona tokoa, hoy i; Jehovah Tompo.
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],
Fa raha miteraka zazalahy mpanao an-keriny sy mpandatsa-drà izy, ka manao na dia iray ihany amin’ ireo zavatra ireo aza iny
11 And that doeth not any of those [duties], but even hath eaten upon the mountains, and defiled his neighbor's wife,
(nefa tsy nanao ireo zavatra ireo akory ny tenany), na mihinana eny an-tendrombohitra, na mandoto ny vadin’ ny namany,
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.
na mampahory ny malahelo sy ny mahantra, na mandroba, na tsy mamerina ny natao tsatòka, na manandratra ny masony ho amin’ ny sampy ka manao izay fahavetavetana,
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.
na mampanana vola, na maka tombony moa ho velona va izy? Tsy ho velona izy; nanao ireo fahavetavetana rehetra ireo izy; ho faty tokoa izy, ary ny ràny dia ho aminy ihany.
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,
Ary, indro, raha iny kosa indray miteraka zazalahy, izay mahita ny fahotana rehetra nataon-drainy, nefa nony mahita izany izy, dia tsy mba manao tahaka izany,
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,
ka tsy mihinana eny an-tendrombohitra, na manandratra ny masony ho amin’ ny sampin’ ny taranak’ Isiraely, na mandoto ny vadin’ ny namany,
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,
na mampahory olona, na maka tsatòka, na mandroba, fa manome ny haniny ho an’ ny noana ary manafy lamba ny mitanjaka,
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.
miaro ny tànany tsy hampahory ny mahantra, tsy mampanana vola, na maka tombony, fa manaraka ny fitsipiko sy mandeha araka ny lalàko, dia tsy ho faty noho ny helo-drainy izy; ho velona tokoa izy.
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.
Ny amin’ ny rainy, noho ny nanaovany an-keriny sy ny nandrobany ny rahalahiny ary ny nanaovany izay tsy mety tao amin’ ny fireneny, dia, indro, ho faty noho ny helony izy.
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.
Nefa, hoy ianareo: Nahoana moa ny zanaka no tsy mba hitondra ny helo-drainy? Raha ny zanaka manao izay marina sy mahitsy sy mitandrina ny didiko rehetra ka mankatò azy, dia ho velona tokoa izy.
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.
Ny fanahy izay manota no ho faty. Ny zanaka tsy mba hitondra ny heloky ny rainy, ary ny ray tsy mba hitondra ny heloky ny zanany; ny fahamarinan’ ny marina ho aminy ihany ary ny faharatsian’ ny ratsy fanahy kosa ho aminy ihany.
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.
Fa raha ny ratsy fanahy miala amin’ ny fahotana rehetra izay nataony ka mitandrina ny didiko rehetra ary manao izay marina sy mahitsy, dia ho velona tokoa izy, fa tsy ho faty.
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.
Ny fahadisoany rehetra izay nataony tsy hotsarovana aminy intsony; ho velona izy noho ny fahamarinana izay nataony.
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?
Moa sitrako akory va ny fahafatesan’ ny ratsy fanahy, hoy Jehovah Tompo, fa tsy ny hialany amin’ ny alehany mba ho velona izy?
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.
Fa raha ny marina no miala amin’ ny fahamarinany ka manao meloka ary manaraka ny fahavetavetana rehetra izay nataon’ ny ratsy fanahy, ho velona va izy? Ny fahamarinany rehetra izay nataony dia tsy hotsarovana; noho ny fahadisoana izay nandisoany sy ny fahotana izay nanotany dia ho faty izy.
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?
Nefa hoy ianareo: Tsy marina ny fitondran’ ny Tompo. Mihainoa ange, ry taranak’ Isiraely: Moa ny fitondrako va no tsy marina? Tsy ny fitondranareo va no tsy marina?
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.
Raha ny marina miala amin’ ny fahamarinany ary manao meloka ka maty amin’ izany, dia maty noho ny heloka nataony ihany izy.
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.
Ary raha ny ratsy fanahy miala amin’ ny faharatsiana nataony ka manao izay marina sy mahitsy, dia hovelominy ny fanahiny.
28 Because he considereth and turneth away from all his transgressions that he hath committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
Raha mahita izy ka miala amin’ ny fahadisoana rehetra izay nataony, dia ho velona tokoa izy, fa tsy ho faty.
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?
Nefa hoy ny taranak’ Isiraely: Tsy marina ny fitondran’ ny Tompo. Ry taranak’ Isiraely, ny fitondrako va no tsy marina? Tsy ny fitondranareo va no tsy marina?
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.
Koa samy hotsaraiko araka ny ataonareo avy ianareo, ry taranak’ Isiraely, hoy Jehovah Tompo. Mitodiha, ka mibebaha amin’ ny fahadisoanareo rehetra, dia tsy ho tonga fahatafintohinana mahameloka anareo intsony izany.
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?
Esory ho afaka aminareo ny fahadisoanareo rehetra izay nataonareo, ka manaova fo vaovao sy fanahy vaovao ho anareo; fa nahoana no ho faty ianareo, ry taranak’ Isiraely?
32 For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn [ye], and live.
Fa tsy sitrako ny fahafatesan’ izay maty, hoy Jehovah Tompo. Koa mibebaha ianareo mba ho velona. Hira fahalahelovana ny amin’ ireo lehiben’ ny Isiraely.
