Ezekiela 18
1 HIKI hou mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
And there is a word of YHWH 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?
“What [is it] to you [that] you are using this allegory Concerning the ground of Israel, saying, Fathers eat unripe fruit, And the sons’ teeth are blunted?
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,” a declaration of Lord YHWH, “You no longer have the use of this allegory 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—they are Mine, The soul that is sinning—it dies.
5 Aka, ina he pono ke kanaka, a hana hoi ia i ka mea ku i ke kanawai a me ka maikai,
And a man, when he is righteous, And has done 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,
He has not eaten on the mountains, And has not lifted up his eyes To idols of the house of Israel, And did not defile his neighbor’s wife, And did not come near to a separated woman,
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;
He does not oppress a man, He returns his pledge to the debtor, He does not take away plunder, He gives his bread to the hungry, And covers 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 does not give in usury, and does not take increase, He turns back his hand from perversity, He does 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.
He walks in My statutes, And he has kept My judgments—to deal truly, He [is] righteous—he surely lives,” A declaration of Lord YHWH.
10 A ina loaa ia ia ke keiki lalau hewa, he mea hookahe koko, a hana hoi i ka mea like me keia,
“And he has begotten a son, A burglar—a shedder of blood, And he has made a brother of one of these,
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 he has not done all those, For he has even eaten on the mountains, And he 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;
He has oppressed the afflicted and needy, He has taken away plunder violently, He does not return a pledge, And he has lifted up his eyes to the idols, He has done 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.
He has given in usury, and taken increase, And he lives? He does not live, He has done all these abominations, He surely dies, his blood is on 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—behold, he has begotten a son, And he sees all the sins of his father, That he has done, and he fears, And does not do like 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,
He has not eaten on the mountains, And he has not lifted up his eyes To idols of the house of Israel, He 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,
He has not oppressed a man, He has not bound a pledge, And he has not taken away plunder, He has given his bread to the hungry, And he 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 has turned back his hand from the afflicted, He has not taken usury and increase, He has done My judgments, He has walked in My statutes, He does not die for the iniquity of his father, He surely lives.
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.
His father—because he used oppression, Violently plundered a brother, And did that which [is] not good in the midst of his people, And behold, he is dying 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 you have said, Why has the son not borne of the iniquity of the father? And the son has done judgment and righteousness, He has kept all My statutes, And he does them, he surely lives.
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 sins—it dies. A son does not bear of the iniquity of the father, And a father does 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.
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—when he turns back From all his sins that he has done, And he has kept all My statutes, And has done judgment and righteousness, He surely lives, he does 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.
All his transgressions that he has done Are not remembered to him, In his righteousness that he has done he lives.
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?
Do I take pleasure [or] delight in the death of the wicked?” A declaration of Lord YHWH, “Is it not in his turning back from his way—And he has lived?
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 in the turning back of the righteous from his righteousness, And he has done perversity, According to all the abominations That the wicked has done, Does he then live? All his righteous deeds that he has done are not remembered, For his trespass that he has trespassed, And for his sin that he has sinned, For them he dies.
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 you have said, The way of the Lord is not pondered. Now hear, O house of Israel, My way—is it not pondered? Are not your ways unpondered?
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.
In the turning back of the righteous from his righteousness, And he has done perversity, And he is dying by them, He dies for his perversity that he has done.
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 in the turning back of the wicked From his wickedness that he has done, And he does judgment and righteousness, He keeps 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.
And he sees and turns back, From all his transgressions that he has done, He surely lives, he does 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?
And the house of Israel has said, The way of the Lord is not pondered, My ways—are they not pondered? O house of Israel—are not your ways unpondered?
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 judge each according to his ways, O house of Israel,” A declaration of Lord YHWH, “Turn back, indeed, turn yourselves back, From all your transgressions, And iniquity is not for a stumbling-block to you,
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 all your transgressions from over you, By which you have transgressed, And make a new heart and a new spirit for yourselves, And why do you 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 have no pleasure in the death of the dying,” A declaration of Lord YHWH, “Therefore turn back and live!”
