Ezekiel 18
1 'And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying:
Ary tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
2 'What — to you, ye — using this simile Concerning the ground of Israel, saying: Fathers do eat unripe fruit, And the sons' teeth are blunted?
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 I live — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Ye have no more the use of this simile in Israel.
Rana velona koa Aho, hoy Jehovah Tompo, tsy hisy hanaovanareo izany ohabolana izany ao amin’ ny Isiraely intsony.
4 Lo, all the souls are Mine, As the soul of the father, So also the soul of the son — they are Mine, The soul that is sinning — it doth 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 And a man, when he is righteous, And hath done judgment and righteousness,
Fa raha marina ny olona ka manao izay marina sy mahitsy,
6 On the mountains he hath not eaten, And his eyes he hath not lifted up Unto idols of the house of Israel, And the wife of his neighbour defiled not, And to a separated woman cometh not near,
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 A man — he doth not oppress, His pledge to the debtor he doth return, Plunder he doth not take away, His bread to the hungry he doth give, And the naked doth cover 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 In usury he doth not give, and increase taketh not, From perversity he turneth back his hand, True judgment he doth 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 In My statutes he doth walk, And My judgments he hath kept — to deal truly, Righteous [is] he, he surely liveth, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.
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 And — he hath begotten a son, A burglar — a shedder of blood, And he hath made a brother of one of these,
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 he all those hath not done, For even on the mountains he hath eaten, And the wife of his neighbour he hath defiled,
(nefa tsy nanao ireo zavatra ireo akory ny tenany), na mihinana eny an-tendrombohitra, na mandoto ny vadin’ ny namany,
12 The afflicted and needy he hath oppressed, Plunder he hath taken violently away, A pledge he doth not return, And unto the idols he hath lifted up his eyes, Abomination he hath done!
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 In usury he hath given, and increase taken, And he liveth: he doth not live, All these abominations he hath done, He doth surely die, his blood is on 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 And — lo, he hath begotten a son, And he seeth all the sins of his father, That he hath done, and he feareth, And doth not do like them,
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 On the mountains he hath not eaten, And his eyes he hath not lifted up Unto idols of the house of Israel, The wife of his neighbour he hath not defiled,
ka tsy mihinana eny an-tendrombohitra, na manandratra ny masony ho amin’ ny sampin’ ny taranak’ Isiraely, na mandoto ny vadin’ ny namany,
16 A man — he hath not oppressed, A pledge he hath not bound, And plunder he hath not taken away, His bread to the hungry he hath given, And the naked he covered 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 From the afflicted he hath turned back his hand, Usury and increase he hath not taken, My judgments he hath done, In My statutes he hath walked, He doth not die for the iniquity of his father, He doth 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 His father — because he used oppression, Did violently Plunder a brother, And that which [is] not good did in the midst of his people, And lo, he is dying 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 And ye have said, Wherefore hath not the son, Borne of the iniquity of the father? And — the son judgment and righteousness hath done, All My statutes he hath kept, And he doeth them, he surely liveth.
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 doth sin — it doth die. A son doth not bear of the iniquity of the father, And a father doth not bear of the iniquity of the son, The righteousness of the righteous is on him, And the wickedness of the wicked is on 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 And the wicked — when he turneth back From all his sins that he hath done, And he hath kept all My statutes, And hath done judgment and righteousness, He doth surely live, he doth 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 done Are not remembered to him, In his righteousness that he hath done he liveth.
Ny fahadisoany rehetra izay nataony tsy hotsarovana aminy intsony; ho velona izy noho ny fahamarinana izay nataony.
23 Do I at all desire the death of the wicked? An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Is it not in his turning back from his way — And he hath lived?
Moa sitrako akory va ny fahafatesan’ ny ratsy fanahy, hoy Jehovah Tompo, fa tsy ny hialany amin’ ny alehany mba ho velona izy?
24 And in the turning back of the righteous from his righteousness, And he hath done perversity, According to all the abominations That the wicked hath done, he doth — thus he liveth, All his righteousnesses that he hath done are not remembered, For his trespass that he hath trespassed, And for his sin that he hath sinned, For them he doth 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 And ye have said, Not pondered is the way of the Lord. Hear, I pray you, O house of Israel, My way — is it not pondered? Are not your ways unpondered?
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 In the turning back of the righteous from his righteousness, And he hath done perversity, And he is dying by them, for his perversity That he hath done he dieth.
Raha ny marina miala amin’ ny fahamarinany ary manao meloka ka maty amin’ izany, dia maty noho ny heloka nataony ihany izy.
27 And in the turning back of the wicked From his wickedness that he hath done, And he doth judgment and righteousness, He his soul doth keep alive.
Ary raha ny ratsy fanahy miala amin’ ny faharatsiana nataony ka manao izay marina sy mahitsy, dia hovelominy ny fanahiny.
28 And he seeth and turneth back, From all his transgressions that he hath done, He doth surely live, he doth not die,
Raha mahita izy ka miala amin’ ny fahadisoana rehetra izay nataony, dia ho velona tokoa izy, fa tsy ho faty.
29 And the house of Israel have said, Not pondered is the way of the Lord, My ways — are they not pondered? O house of Israel — are not your ways unpondered?
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, each according to his ways I judge you, O house of Israel? An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Turn ye back, yea, turn yourselves back, From all your transgressions, And iniquity is not to you for a stumbling-block,
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 from off you all your transgressions, By which ye have transgressed, And make to you a new heart, and a new spirit, And why do 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 the dying, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, And turn ye back 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.
