Ezekiel 18
1 Nagsao manen ni Yahweh kaniak a kunana,
'And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying:
2 “Ania ti kayatyo a sawen, dakayo a mangus-usar iti daytoy a proberbio maipanggep iti daga ti Israel a kunkunayo, 'Nangan dagiti nagannak kadagiti naalsem nga ubas, ket dagiti ngipen dagiti annak ti naalino?'
'What — to you, ye — using this simile Concerning the ground of Israel, saying: Fathers do eat unripe fruit, And the sons' teeth are blunted?
3 Iti naganko a sibibiag a Dios—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh nga Apo—saanyonton nga aramatenen daytoy a proberbio iti Israel.
I live — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Ye have no more the use of this simile in Israel.
4 Adtoy! Kukuak ti tunggal biag! Ken kasta met ti biag dagiti nagannak, ken ti biag dagiti annak: kukuak ida! Ti tao nga agbasbasol isu ti matay!
Lo, 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 doth die.
5 Ngem no ti maysa a tao ket nalinteg ken ipatpatungpalna ti hustisia ken kinalinteg—
And a man, when he is righteous, And hath done judgment and righteousness,
6 no saan isuna a nangan kadagidiay a bantay a pagdaydayawan kadagiti didiosen, ken saanna nga inkita dagiti matana kadagiti didiosen ti balay ti Israel—no saanna a tinulawan ti asawa ti kaarrubana, wenno inasitgan ti maysa a babai a madama iti binulan a panagreglana—
On the mountains he hath not eaten, And his eyes he hath not lifted up Unto idols of the house of Israel, And the wife of his neighbour defiled not, And to a separated woman cometh not near,
7 no saanna nga indadanes ti siasinoman ngem ketdi insublina ti insalda ti nakautang—no saanna nga innala ti natakaw, ngem ketdi itedanna kadagiti taraonna dagiti mabisin ken kawesanna dagiti lamolamo;
A man — he doth not oppress, His pledge to the debtor he doth return, Plunder he doth not take away, His bread to the hungry he doth give, And the naked doth cover with a garment,
8 no saanna a paanakan dagiti ipautangna, wenno umawat iti nalabes a ganansya—no ipatungpalna ti hustisia ken ipasdekna ti kinapudno iti nagbabaetan dagiti tattao—
In usury he doth not give, and increase taketh not, From perversity he turneth back his hand, True judgment he doth between man and man.
9 no pagtulnoganna dagiti alagadek ken tungpalenna dagiti paglintegak tapno agtignay a sipupudno—daytoy a tao ket nalinteg; agbiagto isuna! —kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh nga Apo.
In My statutes he doth walk, And My judgments he hath kept — to deal truly, Righteous [is] he, he surely liveth, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.
10 Ngem no addaan isuna iti naranggas nga anak a lalaki a mammapatay ken mangar-aramid iti aniaman kadagitoy a banbanag—
And — he hath begotten a son, A burglar — a shedder of blood, And he hath made a brother of one of these,
11 uray no ti amana ket saanna nga ar-aramiden ti aniaman kadagitoy a banbanag—ngem no ti anakna a lalaki ket mangan kadagidiay a bantay a pagdaydayawan kadagiti didiosen ken tulawanna ti asawa ti kaarrubana—
And he all those hath not done, For even on the mountains he hath eaten, And the wife of his neighbour he hath defiled,
12 no idadanesna dagiti nakurapay ken agkasapulan, no agsamsam isuna ken agtakaw ken saanna nga isubli ti naisalda kenkuana, no ikitana dagiti matana kadagiti didiosen wenno agaramid kadagiti makarimon;
The afflicted and needy he hath oppressed, Plunder he hath taken violently away, A pledge he doth not return, And unto the idols he hath lifted up his eyes, Abomination he hath done!
13 no paanakanna dagiti ipautangna wenno umawat kadagiti sinasaur a ganansya, rumbeng kadi nga agbiag isuna? Saan isuna nga agbiag! Inaramidna amin dagitoy a makarimon a banbanag. Awan duadua a matay isuna; ti darana ket addanto kenkuana.
In usury he hath given, and increase taken, And he liveth: he doth not live, All these abominations he hath done, He doth surely die, his blood is on him.
14 Ngem adtoy! No maaddaan isuna iti anak a makakitkita kadagiti amin a basbasol nga inaramid ti amana, ken no isuna a mismo ket managbuteng iti Dios ken saanna nga ar-aramiden dagiti kakasta a banbanag—
And — lo, he hath begotten a son, And he seeth all the sins of his father, That he hath done, and he feareth, And doth not do like them,
15 no saan isuna a mangan kadagidiay a bantay a pagdaydayawan kadagiti didiosen, wenno ikita dagiti matana kadagiti didiosen ti balay ti Israel—no saanna a tulawan ti asawa ti kaarrubana;
On the mountains he hath not eaten, And his eyes he hath not lifted up Unto idols of the house of Israel, The wife of his neighbour he hath not defiled,
16 no saanna nga idadanes ti siasinoman, no saan nga agsamsam iti salda, wenno saanna nga alaen dagiti natakaw, ngem ketdi ikkanna kadagiti taraonna dagiti mabisin ken kawesanna dagiti lamolamo—
A man — he hath not oppressed, A pledge he hath not bound, And plunder he hath not taken away, His bread to the hungry he hath given, And the naked he covered with a garment,
17 no saanna nga inukom dagiti nakurapay ken saanna a paanakan ti ipautangna wenno umawat iti sinasaur a ganansya; no ipatungpalna dagiti bilinko ken agtulnog kadagiti alagadek, saanto ngarud a matay isuna gapu iti basol ti amana. Awan duadua nga agbiagto isuna!
From the afflicted he hath turned back his hand, Usury and increase he hath not taken, My judgments he hath done, In My statutes he hath walked, He doth not die for the iniquity of his father, He doth surely live.
18 Agsipud ta indadanes ti amana dagiti dadduma babaen iti panangsaur ken tinakawanna ti kabsatna, ken inaramidna ti saan a nasayaat kadagiti tattaona—ngarud, matayto isuna gapu iti basolna.
His father — because he used oppression, Did violently Plunder a brother, And that which [is] not good did in the midst of his people, And lo, he is dying in his iniquity.
19 Ngem kunayo, 'Apay a saan a baklayen ti anak ti basol ti amana?' Gapu ta ipatpatungpal ti anak ti hustisia ken kinalinteg ken tungpalenna dagiti amin nga alagadek; ar-aramidenna dagitoy. Awan duadua nga agbiagto isuna!
And ye have said, Wherefore hath not the son, Borne of the iniquity of the father? And — the son judgment and righteousness hath done, All My statutes he hath kept, And he doeth them, he surely liveth.
20 Ti agbasbasol ket isu ti matay. Saan a baklayen ti anak ti basol ti amana, ken saan a baklayen ti ama ti basol ti anakna. Ti kinalinteg ti tao nga agtigtignay a sililinteg ket addanto kenkuana, ken ti kinadangkes ti dakes a tao ket addanto kenkuana.
The soul that doth sin — it doth die. A son doth not bear of the iniquity of the father, And a father doth 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 Ngem no tallikudan ti nadangkes dagiti amin a basol nga inaramidna, ket tungpalenna dagiti amin nga alagadek ken ipatungpalna ti hustisia ken kinalinteg, awan ngarud duadua nga agbiagto isuna ket saan a matay.
And the wicked — when he turneth back From all his sins that he hath done, And he hath kept all My statutes, And hath done judgment and righteousness, He doth surely live, he doth not die.
22 Amin dagiti basol nga inaaramidna ket saanton a malagip a maibusor kenkuana. Agbiagto isuna babaen iti kinalinteg nga ar-aramidenna.
All his transgressions that he hath done Are not remembered to him, In his righteousness that he hath done he liveth.
23 Agragsakak aya unay iti pannakatay ti nadangkes ket saan nga iti panangtallikudna iti dalanna tapno agbiag isuna? —kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh nga Apo—
Do I at all desire the death of the wicked? An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Is it not in his turning back from his way — And he hath lived?
24 Ngem no ti nalinteg a tao ket tallikudanna ti kinalintegna ket agaramid iti dakes ken agaramid kadagiti makarimon a kas kadagiti makarimon nga ar-aramiden dagiti nadangkes a tattao, apay agbiagto aya isuna? Amin dagiti nalinteg nga inaramidna ket saanton a malagip inton panawannak gapu iti panagsalungasingna. Matayto ngarud isuna gapu kadagiti basol nga inar-aramidna.
And in the turning back of the righteous from his righteousness, And he hath done perversity, According to all the abominations That the wicked hath done, he doth — thus he liveth, All his righteousnesses that he hath done are not remembered, For his trespass that he hath trespassed, And for his sin that he hath sinned, For them he doth die.
25 Ngem kunayo, 'Saan a sililinteg nga agtigtignay ti Apo!' Dumngegka, balay ti Israel! Saanak aya a sililinteg nga agtigtignay? Saan aya a dakayo ti saan a sililinteg nga agtigtignay?
And ye have said, Not pondered is the way of the Lord. Hear, I pray you, O house of Israel, My way — is it not pondered? Are not your ways unpondered?
26 Inton tallikudan ti nalinteg a tao ti kinalintegna ket agbasol, ket matay gapu kadagitoy, matayto ngarud isuna gapu iti basol nga inaramidna.
In the turning back of the righteous from his righteousness, And he hath done perversity, And he is dying by them, for his perversity That he hath done he dieth.
27 Ngem no tallikudan ti nadangkes a tao dagiti nadangkes nga aramidna ket ipatungpalna ti hustisia ken kinalinteg, mataginayonnanto ngarud ti biagna!
And in the turning back of the wicked From his wickedness that he hath done, And he doth judgment and righteousness, He his soul doth keep alive.
28 Ta nakita ken tinallikudanna dagiti panagsalungasing nga inaramidna. Agbiagto isuna; Saanto isuna a matay!
And he seeth and turneth back, From all his transgressions that he hath done, He doth surely live, he doth not die,
29 Ngem kuna ti balay ti Israel, 'Saan a sililinteg nga agtigtignay ti Apo!' Kasano a saanak nga agtigtignay a sililinteg, O balay ti Israel? Ken kasano nga agtigtignaykayo a sililinteg?
And the house of Israel have said, Not pondered is the way of the Lord, My ways — are they not pondered? O house of Israel — are not your ways unpondered?
30 Ngarud, ukomekto ti tunggal maysa kadakayo segun kadagiti aramidna, O balay ti Israel! —kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh nga Apo. Agbabawikayo ket tallikudanyo dagiti amin a panagsalungasingyo tapno saan nga agbalin dagitoy a basol a pakaitibkolanyo.
Therefore, each according to his ways I judge you, O house of Israel? An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Turn ye back, yea, turn yourselves back, From all your transgressions, And iniquity is not to you for a stumbling-block,
31 Iwaksiyo dagiti amin a panagsalungasing nga inaramidyo; pabaroenyo ti puso ken espirituyo. Ta apay a rumbeng a mataykayo, O balay ti Israel?
Cast from off you all your transgressions, By which ye have transgressed, And make to you a new heart, and a new spirit, And why do ye die, O house of Israel?
32 Ta saanak nga agragsak iti pannakatay dagiti matay—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh nga Apo—isu nga agbabawikayo ket agbiagkayo!”
For I have no pleasure in the death of the dying, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, And turn ye back and live!
