Ezekiela 18
1 HIKI hou mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
And the word of Jehovah came unto 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?
What mean ye, ye who use this proverb of the land of Israel, saying, [The] fathers eat sour grapes, and the children's teeth are 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 Jehovah, ye shall not have any more to use this proverb 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.
Behold, all the 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.
5 Aka, ina he pono ke kanaka, a hana hoi ia i ka mea ku i ke kanawai a me ka maikai,
And if a man be righteous, and do judgment and justice:
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,
— he hath not eaten upon the mountains, nor lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, neither hath defiled his neighbour's wife, nor come near to a woman in her separation,
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 hath not oppressed any; he hath restored to the debtor his pledge, hath not exercised robbery, hath given his bread to the hungry, and covered the naked with a garment;
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,
he hath not given forth upon usury, nor taken increase; he hath withdrawn his hand from unrighteousness, hath executed true judgment between man and man,
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.
hath walked in my statutes, and kept mine ordinances, to deal faithfully: he is righteous, he shall certainly live, saith the Lord Jehovah.
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 have begotten a son that is violent, a shedder of blood, and that doeth only one of any of these [things],
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,
and that doeth not any of those [duties], but also hath eaten upon the mountains, and defiled his neighbour'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;
hath oppressed the poor and needy, exercised robbery, hath not restored the pledge, and hath lifted up his eyes to the idols, committed abomination,
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.
given forth upon usury, and taken increase; shall he then live? He shall not live: he hath done all these abominations; he shall certainly 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,
But lo, if he have begotten a son that seeth all his father's sins which he hath done, and considereth, and doeth not such like:
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,
— he hath not eaten upon the mountains, nor lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel; he hath not defiled his neighbour'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 hath not oppressed any, nor withholden the pledge, neither hath exercised robbery; he hath given his bread to the hungry, and covered the naked with a garment;
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.
he hath withdrawn his hand from the poor, hath not received usury nor increase, hath executed my judgments, [and] walked in my statutes: he shall not die for the iniquity of his father, he shall certainly 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.
As for his father, because he practised oppression, exercised robbery upon his brother, and did what was not good among his people, behold, he 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.
And ye say, Why doth not the son bear the iniquity of the father? But the son hath done judgment and justice, hath kept all my statutes, and hath done them; he shall certainly 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.
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.
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 the wicked, if he turn from all his sins which he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do judgment and justice, he shall certainly live, he shall not 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 transgressions which he hath committed shall be remembered against him; in his righteousness which he hath done shall he 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?
Have I any pleasure at all in the death of the wicked? saith the Lord Jehovah; is it not in his turning from his way, that he may 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.
And when the righteous turneth from his righteousness and practiseth what is wrong, [and] doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked doeth, shall he live? None of his righteous acts which he hath done shall be remembered: in his unfaithfulness which he hath wrought, and in his sin which he hath 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?
And ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear then, house of Israel. Is not my way equal? are not your ways unequal?
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 turneth away from his righteousness, and practiseth what is wrong, and dieth for it; in his wrong that he hath done shall he die.
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 turneth from his wickedness which he hath committed, and doeth judgment and justice, he shall keep his soul alive.
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.
Because he considereth, and turneth from all his transgressions which he hath committed, he shall certainly 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?
But the house of Israel say, The way of the Lord is not equal. O house of Israel, are not my ways equal? Is it not your ways that are unequal?
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.
Therefore I will judge you, house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord Jehovah. Return ye, and turn from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your snare.
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 you all your transgressions wherewith ye have transgressed, and make you a new heart and a new spirit: why then will ye die, 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 have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord Jehovah; therefore turn ye and live.
