Ezekiyel 18
1 Maganar Ubangiji ta zo mini cewa,
Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2 “Me ku mutane kuke nufi da faɗar wannan karin magana a kan ƙasar Isra’ila cewa, “‘Ubanni sun ci’ya’yan inabi masu tsami, haƙoran’ya’ya kuwa sun mutu’?
“What do you people mean by quoting this proverb about the land of Israel: ‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the teeth of the children are set on edge’?
3 “Muddin ina raye, in ji Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka, ba za ku ƙara faɗar wannan karin magana a Isra’ila ba.
As surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, you will no longer quote this proverb in Israel.
4 Gama kowane mai rai nawa ne, mahaifi da ɗa, duk nawa ne. Mutumin da ya yi zunubi shi zai mutu.
Behold, every soul belongs to Me; both father and son are Mine. The soul who sins is the one who will die.
5 “A ce akwai mai adalci wanda yake aikata abin da yake daidai da kuma gaskiya;
Now suppose a man is righteous and does what is just and right:
6 ba ya cin abinci a duwatsun tsafi ko ya dogara ga gumakan gidan Isra’ila. Ba ya ƙazantar da matar maƙwabcinsa ko ya kwana da mace lokacin al’adarta ba.
He does not eat at the mountain or look to the idols of the house of Israel. He does not defile his neighbor’s wife or approach a woman during her period.
7 Ba ya cin zalin wani, amma yakan mayar wa wanda ya ba shi jingina abin da ya jinginar masa. Ba ya yi fashi amma yakan ba wa mayunwata abinci ya kuma tanada wa marasa tufafi riga.
He does not oppress another, but restores the pledge to the debtor. He does not commit robbery, but gives his bread to the hungry and covers the naked with clothing.
8 Ba ya ba da bashi da ruwa ko ya karɓa ƙarin riba. Yakan janye hannunsa daga aikata mugunta yakan kuma yi shari’a cikin gaskiya tsakanin mutum da mutum.
He does not engage in usury or take excess interest, but he withholds his hand from iniquity and executes true justice between men.
9 Yana bin ƙa’idodina yana kuma kiyaye dokokina da aminci. Wannan mutumin adali ne; tabbatacce zai rayu, in ji Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka.
He follows My statutes and faithfully keeps My ordinances. That man is righteous; surely he will live,
10 “A ce yana da ɗa wanda yana kisa ko yana yin ɗaya daga cikin waɗannan abubuwa
Now suppose that man has a violent son, who sheds blood or does any of these things,
11 (ko da yake mahaifin bai yi ko ɗaya daga cikinsu ba). “Yakan ci abinci a duwatsun tsafi. Yakan ƙazantar da matar maƙwabci.
though the father has done none of them: Indeed, the son eats at the mountain and defiles his neighbor’s wife.
12 Yakan ci zalin matalauta da mabukata. Yakan yi fashi. Ba ya mayar da abin da aka jinginar masa. Ya dogara ga gumaka. Yana aikata ayyukan banƙyama.
He oppresses the poor and needy; he commits robbery and does not restore a pledge. He lifts his eyes to idols; he commits abominations.
13 Yakan ba da bashi da ruwa ya kuma karɓi riba mai yawa. Irin wannan mutum zai rayu? Ba zai rayu ba! Domin ya aikata dukan waɗannan abubuwa masu banƙyama, tabbatacce za a kashe shi, kuma hakkin jininsa zai zauna a kansa.
He engages in usury and takes excess interest. Will this son live? He will not! Since he has committed all these abominations, he will surely die; his blood will be on his own head.
14 “Amma a ce wannan ɗa yana da ɗa wanda ya ga dukan zunuban da mahaifinsa yake aikata, kuma ko da yake ya gan su, bai yi ko ɗaya daga cikin irin abubuwan nan ba, wato,
Now suppose this son has a son who sees all the sins his father has committed, considers them, and does not do likewise:
15 “Bai ci abinci a duwatsun tsafi ba ko ya dogara ga gumakan gidan Isra’ila. Bai ƙazantar da matar maƙwabcinsa ba.
He does not eat at the mountain or look to the idols of the house of Israel. He does not defile his neighbor’s wife.
16 Bai ci zalin wani ko ya karɓi jingina ba. Ba ya fashi amma yakan ba da abincinsa ga mayunwata ya tanada tufafi wa marasa tufafi.
He does not oppress another, or retain a pledge, or commit robbery. He gives his bread to the hungry and covers the naked with clothing.
17 Yakan janye hannunsa daga zunubi ba ya kuma ba da bashi da ruwa ko karɓan riba da yawa. Yakan kiyaye dokokina ya kuma bi ƙa’idodina. Ba zai mutu saboda zunubin mahaifinsa ba; tabbatacce zai rayu.
He withholds his hand from harming the poor and takes no interest or usury. He keeps My ordinances and follows My statutes. Such a man will not die for his father’s iniquity. He will surely live.
18 Amma mahaifinsa zai mutu saboda zunubinsa, domin ya yi ƙwace, ya yi wa ɗan’uwansa fashi ya kuma yi abin da ba daidai ba a cikin mutanensa.
As for his father, he will die for his own iniquity, because he practiced extortion, robbed his brother, and did what was wrong among his people.
19 “Duk da haka kukan yi tambaya, ‘Me ya sa ɗan ba zai sami rabo a laifin mahaifinsa ba?’ Da yake ɗan ya yi abin da yake daidai da kuma gaskiya, ya kuma kiyaye dukan ƙa’idodina, tabbatacce zai rayu.
Yet you may ask, ‘Why shouldn’t the son bear the iniquity of his father?’ Since the son has done what is just and right, carefully observing all My statutes, he will surely live.
20 Mutumin da ya yi zunubi shi zai mutu. Ɗa ba zai sami rabo a laifin mahaifi ba, mahaifi ba zai sami rabo a laifi ɗa ba. Adalcin adali zai zama nasa, muguntar mugu za tă koma kansa.
The soul who sins is the one who will die. A son will not bear the iniquity of his father, and a father will not bear the iniquity of his son. The righteousness of the righteous man will fall upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked man will fall upon him.
21 “Amma in mugun mutum ya juya daga dukan zunubin da ya aikata ya kuma kiyaye dukan ƙa’idodina ya kuwa yi abin da yake daidai da kuma gaskiya, tabbatacce zai rayu; ba zai mutu ba.
But if the wicked man turns from all the sins he has committed, keeps all My statutes, and does what is just and right, he will surely live; he will not die.
22 Babu laifin da ya yi da za a tuna da su. Saboda abubuwan adalcin da ya aikata, zai rayu.
None of the transgressions he has committed will be held against him. Because of the righteousness he has practiced, he will live.
23 Ina jin daɗin mutuwar mugu ne? In ji Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka. A maimako, ban fi jin daɗi sa’ad da suka juyo daga hanyoyinsu suka rayu ba?
Do I take any pleasure in the death of the wicked? declares the Lord GOD. Wouldn’t I prefer that he turn from his ways and live?
24 “Amma in mai adalci ya juya daga adalcinsa ya yi zunubi ya kuma aikata abubuwa masu banƙyamar da mugun mutum ke aikatawa, zai rayu? Babu abubuwan adalcin da ya aikata da za a tuna da su. Saboda rashin amincinsa da kuma saboda zunubai da ya yi, zai mutu.
But if a righteous man turns from his righteousness and practices iniquity, committing the same abominations as the wicked, will he live? None of the righteous acts he did will be remembered. Because of the unfaithfulness and sin he has committed, he will die.
25 “Duk da haka kun ce, ‘Hanyar Ubangiji ba daidai ba ce.’ Ka ji, ya gidan Isra’ila. Hanyata ba daidai ba ce?
Yet you say, ‘The way of the Lord is not just.’ Hear now, O house of Israel: Is it My way that is unjust? Is it not your ways that are unjust?
26 In mai adalci ya juye daga adalcinsa ya yi zunubi, zai mutu saboda wannan; saboda zunubin da ya yi, zai mutu.
If a righteous man turns from his righteousness and practices iniquity, he will die for this. He will die because of the iniquity he has committed.
27 Amma in mugun mutum ya juye daga muguntarsa ya kuma yi abin da yake daidai da kuma gaskiya, zai ceci ransa.
But if a wicked man turns from the wickedness he has committed and does what is just and right, he will save his life.
28 Domin ya lura da dukan laifofin da ya yi ya kuma juye daga gare su, tabbatacce zai rayu; ba zai mutu ba.
Because he considered and turned from all the transgressions he had committed, he will surely live; he will not die.
29 Duk da haka mutanen Isra’ila sun ce, ‘Hanyar Ubangiji ba daidai ba ce.’ Hanyoyina ba daidai ba ne, ya gidan Isra’ila? Ba hanyoyinku ne ba daidai ba?
Yet the house of Israel says, ‘The way of the Lord is not just.’ Are My ways unjust, O house of Israel? Is it not your ways that are unjust?
30 “Saboda haka, ya gidan Isra’ila, zan hukunta ku, kowa bisa ga hanyarsa, in ji Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka. Ku tuba! Ku juye daga dukan laifofinku; sa’an nan zunubi ba zai zama sanadin fāɗuwarku ba.
Therefore, O house of Israel, I will judge you, each according to his ways, declares the Lord GOD. Repent and turn from all your transgressions, so that your iniquity will not become your downfall.
31 Ku raba kanku da dukan laifofin da kuka yi, ku sami sabuwar zuciya da sabon ruhu. Don me za ku mutu, ya gidan Isra’ila?
Cast away from yourselves all the transgressions you have committed, and fashion for yourselves a new heart and a new spirit. Why should you die, O house of Israel?
32 Gama ba na jin daɗin mutuwar wani, in ji Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka. Ku tuba don ku rayu!
For I take no pleasure in anyone’s death, declares the Lord GOD. So repent and live!
