Ezekiyel 18

1 Maganar Ubangiji ta zo mini cewa,

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: What is the meaning?

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’?

That you use among you this parable as a proverb in the land of Israel, saying: 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 I live, saith the Lord God, this parable shall be no more to you a 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 all souls are mine: as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, the same shall die.

5 “A ce akwai mai adalci wanda yake aikata abin da yake daidai da kuma gaskiya;

And if a man be just, and do judgment and justice,

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.

And hath not eaten upon the mountains, nor lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel: and hath not defiled his neighbour’s wife, nor come near to a menstruous woman:

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.

And hath not wronged any man: but hath restored the pledge to the debtor, hath taken nothing away by violence: hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment:

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.

Hath not lent upon usury, nor taken any increase: hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity, and hath executed true judgment between man and man:

9 Yana bin ƙa’idodina yana kuma kiyaye dokokina da aminci. Wannan mutumin adali ne; tabbatacce zai rayu, in ji Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka.

Hath walked in my commandments, and kept my judgments, to do truth: he is just, he shall surely live, saith the Lord God.

10 “A ce yana da ɗa wanda yana kisa ko yana yin ɗaya daga cikin waɗannan abubuwa

And if he beget a son that is a robber, a shedder of blood, and that hath done some one 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 he doth not all these things, but that eateth upon the mountains, and that defileth his neighbour’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.

That grieveth the needy and the poor, that taketh away by violence, that restoreth not the pledge, and that lifteth up his eyes to idols, that committeth abomination:

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.

That giveth upon usury, and that taketh an increase: shall such a one live? he shall not live. Seeing he hath done all these detestable things, he shall surely die, his blood shall be upon him.

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,

But if he beget a son, who, seeing all his father’s sins, which he hath done, is afraid, and shall not do the like to them:

15 “Bai ci abinci a duwatsun tsafi ba ko ya dogara ga gumakan gidan Isra’ila. Bai ƙazantar da matar maƙwabcinsa ba.

That hath not eaten upon the mountains, nor lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, and hath not defiled his neighbour’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.

And hath not grieved any man, nor withholden the pledge, nor taken away with violence, but hath given his bread to the hungry, and covered the naked with a garment:

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.

That hath turned away his hand from injuring the poor, hath not taken usury and increase, but hath executed my judgments, and hath walked in my commandments: this man shall not die for the iniquity of his father, but living he shall 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, because he oppressed and offered violence to his brother, and wrought evil in the midst of his people, behold he is dead in his own iniquity.

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.

And you say: Why hath not the son borne the iniquity of his father? Verily, because the son hath wrought judgment and justice, hath kept all my commandments, and done them, living, he shall 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 that sinneth, the same shall die: the son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, and the father shall not bear the iniquity of the son: the justice of the just shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be 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 do penance for all his sins which he hath committed, and keep all my commandments, and do judgment, and justice, living he shall live, and shall not die.

22 Babu laifin da ya yi da za a tuna da su. Saboda abubuwan adalcin da ya aikata, zai rayu.

I will not remember all his iniquities that he hath done: in his justice which he hath wrought, he shall 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?

Is it my will that a sinner should die, saith the Lord God, and not that he should be converted 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 the just man turn himself away from his justice, and do iniquity according to all the abominations which the wicked man useth to work, shall he live? all his justices which he hath done, shall not be remembered: in the prevarication, by which he hath prevaricated, and in his sin, which he hath committed, in them he shall die.

25 “Duk da haka kun ce, ‘Hanyar Ubangiji ba daidai ba ce.’ Ka ji, ya gidan Isra’ila. Hanyata ba daidai ba ce?

And you have said: The way of the Lord is not right. Hear ye, therefore, O house of Israel: Is it my way that is not right, and are not rather your ways perverse?

26 In mai adalci ya juye daga adalcinsa ya yi zunubi, zai mutu saboda wannan; saboda zunubin da ya yi, zai mutu.

For when the just turneth himself away from his justice, and committeth iniquity, he shall die therein: in the injustice that he hath wrought he shall die.

27 Amma in mugun mutum ya juye daga muguntarsa ya kuma yi abin da yake daidai da kuma gaskiya, zai ceci ransa.

And when the wicked turneth himself away from his wickedness, which he hath wrought, and doeth judgment, and justice: he shall save his soul alive.

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 considereth and turneth away himself from all his iniquities which he hath wrought, he shall surely live, and 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?

And the children of Israel say: The way of the Lord is not right. Are not my ways right, O house of Israel, and are not rather your ways perverse?

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 will I judge every man according to his ways, O house of Israel, saith the Lord God. Be converted, and do penance for all your iniquities: and iniquity shall not be your ruin.

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 you all your transgressions, by which you have transgressed, and make to yourselves a new heart, and a new spirit: and why will 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 desire not the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord God, return ye and live.
