Ezekiela 18

1 HIKI hou mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

2 O ke aha ka oukou mea e olelo ai i keia olelo nane no ka aina o ka Iseraela, i ka i ana, Ua ai na makuakane i na huawaina awaawa, a ua hooiia na niho o na kamalii?

Son of man, what mean ye by this parable among the children of Israel, saying, The fathers have eaten unripe grapes, and the children's teeth have been set on edge?

3 Ma ko'u ola ana, wahi a Iehova ka Haku, aohe a oukou mea e olelo hou ai i keia olelo nane iloko o ka Iseraela.

[As] I live, saith the Lord, surely this parable shall no more be spoken in Israel.

4 Aia hoi, no'u na uhane a pau: me ka uhane o ka makuakane, pela hoi ka uhane o ke keiki, no'u ia; o ka uhane lawehala, oia ke make.

For all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son, they are mine: the soul that sins, it shall die.

5 Aka, ina he pono ke kanaka, a hana hoi ia i ka mea ku i ke kanawai a me ka maikai,

But the man who shall be just, who executes judgment and righteousness,

6 Aole hoi i ai maluna o na mauna, aole hoi i leha ae kona mau maka i na kii o ka ohana a Iseraela, aole hoi i hoohaumia i ka wahine a kona hoalauna, aole hoi i hookokoke aku i ka wahine heekoko,

who shall not eat upon the mountains, and shall not at all lift up his eyes to the devices of the house of Israel, and shall not defile his neighbor's wife, and shall not draw nigh to her that is removed,

7 Aole hoi i hooluhihewa i kekahi; a ua hoihoi i ka mea aie i kana i waiho ai ia ia, aole hoi i kaili i ka kekahi ma ka lalau wale; ua haawi hoi i kana berena i ka mea pololi; a ua hoouhi me ke kapa komo i ka mea kapa ole;

and shall not oppress any man, [but] shall return the pledge of the debtor, and shall be guilty of no plunder, shall give his bread to the hungry, and clothe the naked;

8 Ka mea aole i haawi aku e uku kualaia mai, aole hoi i lawe i ke kuala; ua hoihoi mai i kona lima mai ka hewa mai, a ua hooponoponoia'ku iwaena o kekahi me kekahi kanaka,

and shall not lend his money upon usury, and shall not receive usurious increase, and shall turn back his hand from injustice, shall execute righteous judgment between a man and his neighbor,

9 Ua hele hoi ma ko'u mau kanawai, a ua malama i ka'u mau kauoha, e hana pololei; he pono ia, e ola io ia, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.

and has walked in my commandments and kept mine ordinances, to do them; he is righteous, he shall surely live, saith the Lord.

10 A ina loaa ia ia ke keiki lalau hewa, he mea hookahe koko, a hana hoi i ka mea like me keia,

And if he beget a mischievous son, shedding blood and committing sins,

11 Aole hoi i hana ma kela mau mea, aka, ua ai maluna o na mauna, a ua hoohaumia i ka wahine a kona hoalauna,

who has not walked in the way of his righteous father, but has even eaten upon the mountains, and has defiled his neighbor's wife,

12 Ua hooluhihewa i ka mea haahaa a me ka nele, ua kaili i ka hai ma ka lalau wale, aole hoi i hoihoi aku i ka uku panai i haawiia mai, ua leha ae kona mau maka i na akua kii, ua hana hoi i ka mea inainaia;

and has oppressed the poor and needy, and has committed robbery, and not restored a pledge, and has set his eyes upon idols, has wrought iniquities,

13 Ua haawi aku e uku kualaia mai, ua lawe hoi i ka uku panee; alaila e ola anei ia? Aole ia e ola; ua hana oia i keia mau mea inainaia a pau. E make io no ia, a maluna ona kona koko iho.

has lent upon usury, and taken usurious increase; he shall by no means live: he has wrought all these iniquities; he shall surely die; his blood shall be upon him.

14 Eia hoi, ina loaa ia ia ke keiki i ike i na hewa a pau a kona makuakane i hana'i, a ua hoomanao, aole hoi i hana like me ia,

And if he beget a son, and [the son] see all his father's sins which he has wrought, and fear, and not do according to them,

15 Aole i ai maluna o na mauna, aole i leha'e kona mau maka i na kii o ka ohana a Iseraela, aole hoi i hoohaumia i ka wahine a kona hoalauna,

and [if he] has not eaten on the mountains, and has not set his eyes on the devices of the house of Israel, and has not defiled his neighbor's wife,

16 Aole hoi i hooluhihewa i kekahi, aole hoi i lawe i ka uku panai, aole hoi i kaili ma ka lalau wale, aka, ua haawi i kana berena i ka mea pololi, a na hoouhi me ke kapa komo i ka mea kapa ole,

and has not oppressed a man, and has not retained the pledge, nor committed robbery, has given his bread to the hungry, and has clothed the naked,

17 Ua hoihoi mai i kona lima mai luna mai o ka mea ilihune, aole i lawe i ke kuala, a me ka uku panee; ua hana nae ma kuu kauoha, ua hele hoi ma ko'u mau kanawai; aole ia e make no ka hewa o kona makuakane; e ola io no ia.

and has turned back his hand from unrighteousness, has not received interest or usurious increase, has wrought righteousness, and walked in mine ordinances; he shall not die for the iniquities of his father, he shall surely live.

18 A o kona makuakane, no ka mea, ua hooluhihewa aloha ole ia, ua kaili i ka kona hoahanau ma ka lalau wale, a o ka mea pono ole kana i hana'i iwaena o kona poe kanaka, aia hoi, oia ke make iloko o koua hewa.

But if his father grievously afflict, or plunder, he has wrought enmity in the midst of my people, and shall die in his iniquity.

19 Aka, ke olelo nei oukou, No ke aha la e hoopai ole ia'i ke keiki no ka hewa o kona makuakane? Aia hana ke keiki i ka mea pono, a i malama hoi i ko'u mau kanawai a pau, a hana hoi ia lakou, e ola io no ia.

But ye will say, Why has not the son borne the iniquity of the father? Because the son has wrought judgment and mercy, has kept all my statues, and done them, he shall surely live.

20 O ka uhane lawehala, oia ke make. Aole e hali ke keiki i ka hewa o ka makuakane, aole hoi e hali ka makuakane i ka hewa o ke keiki: o ka pono o ka mea pono, maluna iho ona no ia; a o ka hewa a ka mea hewa, maluna no ona hoi ia.

But the soul that sins shall die: and the son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, nor shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the iniquity of the transgressor shall be upon him.

21 Aka, ina e huli mai ka mea hewa mai na hewa a pau ana i hana'i, a e malama i ko'u mau kanawai a pau, a e hana hoi i ka mea ku i ke kanawai a me ka maikai, e ola io no ia, aole ia e make.

And if the transgressor turn away from all his iniquities which he has committed, and keep all my commandments, and do justice and mercy, he shall surely live, and shall by no means die.

22 O na hewa ana i hana'i, aole ia e oleloia'ku ia ia; iloko o kona pono ana i hana'i e ola no ia.

None of his trespasses which he has committed shall be remembers: in his righteousness which he has done he shall live.

23 He oluolu iki anei ko'u ke make ka lawehala, wahi a Iehova ka Haku; aole hoi e huli mai ia mai kona mau aoao, a ola ia?

Shall I at all desire death of the sinner, saith the Lord, as I [desire] that he should turn from [his] evil way, and live?

24 Aka, i ka wa e huli ae ka mea pono mai kona pono ae a hana ma ka hewa, a hana hoi mamuli o na mea inainaia a ka lawehala i hana'i, e ola anei ia? O kona pono a pau ana i hana'i, aole ia e oleloia'ku; iloko o kona hewa ana i hana'i, a iloko o kona lawehala ana i lawehala'i, e make no ia iloko o ia mau mea.

But when the righteous man turns away from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, according to all the transgressions which the transgressor has wrought, none of his righteousness which he has wrought shall be at all remembered: in his trespass wherein he has trespassed, and in his sins wherein he has sinned, in them shall he die.

25 A ke olelo nei oukou, Aole kaulike ka aoao o ka Haku. E hoolohe mai ano, e ka ohana a Iseraela, aole anei ewaewa ole ko'u mau aoao? Aole anei o ko oukou mau aoao ka i ewaewa?

Yet ye have said, The way of the Lord is not straight. Hear now, all the house of Israel; will not my way be straight? Is your way straight?

26 Aia huli ae ka mea pono mai kona pono ae, a hana hoi ma ka hewa, a make ilaila, no kona hewa ana i hana'i e make ai ia.

When the righteous turns away from his righteousness and commits a trespass, and dies in the trespass he has committed, he shall [even] die in it.

27 A ina i huli ka mea hewa mai kona hewa ana i hana'i, a hana hoi ia i ka mea ku i ke kanawai a me ka maikai, e hoola oia i kona uhane.

And when the wicked man turns away from his wickedness that he has committed, and shall do judgment and justice, he has kept his soul,

28 No ka mea, ua hoomanao oia, a ua huli mai ia mai kona mau hewa a pau ana i hana'i, e ola io ia, aole ia e make.

and has turned away from all his ungodliness which he has committed: he shall surely live, he shall not die.

29 Aka, ke olelo nei ka ohana a ka Iseraela, Ua ewaewa ka aoao o ka Haku. E ka ohana a Iseraela, aole anei i ewaewa ole Wa mau aoao? Aole anei ko oukou mau aoao ka i ewaewa?

Yet the house of Israel say, The way of the Lord is not right. Is not my way right, O house of Israel? is not your way wrong?

30 Nolaila, e hoopai aku au ia oukou, e ka ohana a Iseraela, kela mea keia mea e like me kona aoao, wahi a Iehova ka Haku: e mihi oukou, a e huli mai, mai ko oukou mau hewa a pau, i ole ai e lilo ka hewa i make no oukou.

I will judge you, O house of Israel, saith the Lord, each one according to his way: be converted, and turn from all your ungodliness, and it shall not become to you the punishment of iniquity.

31 E kiola aku mai o oukou aku i ko oukou mau hewa a pau, a oukou i hana hewa ai, a e hana no oukou i naau hou i uhane hou hoi; no ka mea, no ke aha la e make ai oukou, e ka ohana a Iseraela?

Cast away from yourselves all your ungodliness wherein ye have sinned against me; and make to yourselves a new heart and a new spirit: for why should ye die, O house of Israel?

32 No ka mea, aole o'u oluolu i ka make o ka mea i make, wahi a Iehova ka Haku; nolaila, e huli mai oukou, a e ola.

For I desire not the death of him that dies, saith the Lord.
