Izikeli 18

1 Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno nasmi'ne,

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

2 Zamafahe'moza aka krepi raga nazageno mofavre'zmimofo zamagitera akahune hutama Israeli vahe'motama nehaza fronka nanekemofo agafa'amo'a nankna hu'ne?

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 Nagra kasefa hu'na mani'noa Ra Anumzamo'na huankino, mago'mo'e huno Israeli mopafina ama fronka nanekea osutfa hugahaze.

As I live, saith the Lord God, this parable shall be no more to you a proverb in Israel.

4 Na'ankure mika vahera Nagri vaheke mani'naze. Hagi nefa'ene nemofo'enena Nagri vahe mani'na'ankino, iza'o kumi'ma hanimoke frigahie.

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 Hagi mago fatgo avu'ava'ma nehania vahe'mo'ma knare huno fatgo avu'ava'ma nehuno,

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

6 havi anumzamofonte'ma Kresramanama vuntesaza ne'zama onege, Israeli vahe'mofo kaza osu havi anumzante mono huontege, ru vahe'mofo a'nene savri nosuno, ika kri eri'nesia a'ene monko'za nosuno,

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 mago vahe'mofo havige huno keonke'zama'a eri havia nosuno, amigahue huno'ma eri'nesia zana ete ami fatgo nehuno, musufa noseno, amunte omne vahe ne'za nemino, kukena'a omane vahe kukena hunenteno,

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 zagoma nofi'ma huno eri'nea vahera agofetu huno zago agia ahenteno e'norino, havi avu'ava'ma huzankura koro nehuno, tare vahe'mofo kea fatgo kazigati refko nehuno,

Hath not lent upon usury, nor taken any increase: hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity, and hath executed true judgment between man and man: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 kasegeni'ane tra ke'ni'anema kegava huno amage'ma antesuno'a, agra fatgo vahe manigahiankino tamage huno ofri manigahie huno Miko'zama Kegava Hu'nea Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne.

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

10 Hianagi e'inahu huno'ma fatgo avu'ava'ma nehania vahe'mofo mofavremo'ma vahe'ma aheno korama'a eri neragino, nefuma knare osu avu'ava'ma hunenteno,

And if he beget a son that is a robber, a shedder of blood, and that hath done some one of these things:

11 nefa'a anara osugahianagi, agra havi anumzamofonte'ma kresramnama vuntesaza ne'zana neneno, ru vahe'mofo a'nene savri nehuno,

Though he doth not all these things, but that eateth upon the mountains, and that defileth his neighbour’s wife:

12 zamunte omne vahe'ene miko zankuma atupama nehaza vahera zamazeri savri huno fenozmia enerino, vahe'za musufa enerino, kamigahue huno'ma huvempa huno eri'nea zana nomino, havi anumzamofonte monora hunenteno, hi'mnage avu'ava nehuno,

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 zagoma nofi'ma hu'nea vahera rama'a agofetu huno zago agia ahenteno e'neria vahe'mo'a agra ofri amne manigahio? I'o. Agra amnea omanigahianki, frigahie. Na'ankure kasrino hi'mnage avu'ava zantmi hu'neankino, tamage huno kumi'amofo knazana agra'a erino frigahie.

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 Hagi e'inahu kefo avu'ava'ene ne'mofo mofavremo'ma nefa'ma hu'nea kumi avu'avazama negeno, avaririno ana avu'avara osu mani koro huno mani'neno,

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 havi anumzante'ma Kresramanama vuntesaza ne'zama onege, Israeli vahe'mofo kaza osu anumzante'ma mono huontege, ru vahe'mofo a'nene savri nosuno,

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 mago vahera havige hunteno keonke'zama'a eri havia nosuno, amigahue huno'ma eri'nesia zana ete nemino, musufa noseno, amunte omne vahera ne'zana nezamino, kukenagu atupa hu'naza vahera kukena hunezmanteno,

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 zamunte omane vahera zamazeri haviza nosuno, zagoma nofi'ma hu vahera agofetu huno zago agia ahenteno e'norino, kasegeni'ane tra ke'ni'anema kegava huno amage'ma antesuno'a, agra nefa'ma hu'nea kumi avu'avazamofo nona hunora ofrigahianki, tamage huno amne manigahie.

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 Hagi nefa'a frigahie. Na'ankure agra havige huno vahe'mofo zantamina eri savri nehuno, musufa neseno, vahe'amofona knare avu'avara huozmante'neankino, ana kefo avu'va'zama hu'nea zantera frigahie.

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 Hagi mofavre'amo'ma knare huno fatgo avu'ava'ma nehuno, kasege'nine tra ke'ni'anema kegava huno amage'ma nenteno, ofrino amnema manisigeta, amanage huta nantahigegahaze, nahigeno nefa'ma hu'nea kumi'mofo mizama'a nemofo'a e'orie? huta hugahaze.

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 Hagi kumi'ma hania vahe'moke frigahie. Hagi mofavremo'a nefa'ma hu'nenia kumimofo nona'a knazana e'orisigeno, mago ne'mo'a mofavre'amo'ma hu'nesia kumimofo nona'a knazana e'origahie. Hagi fatgo avu'ava'ma nehania vahera agri fatgo avu'avate mizana nemino, kefo avu'ava'ma hania vahera, agri'a kefo avu'ava zante azeri haviza hugahie.

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 Hianagi kefo avu'ava zama nehania vahe'mo'ma kefo avu'ava zama netreno agu'a rukrahe huno tra keni'a amage nenteno, knare avu'ava'ene fatgo avu'ava'enema hanuno'a, ofrigahianki amne manigahie.

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 Hagi magore hu'na mago kumi'agura nagesa ontahigosue. Na'ankure fatgo avu'avaza hugahiankino ofri amne manigahie.

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

23 Miko'zama Kegava Hu'nea Anumzamo'a huno, kefo avu'ava'ma nehia vahe'ma nefrigeta, tamagesama antahi'zana Nagrikura musena nehie huta nehazo? I'o. Nagra musena nosue. Hagi kefo avu'ava zama'a atreno amnema mani'zanku nave'nesie.

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 Hianagi fatgo avu'ama nehania ne'mo'ma atreno'ma kefo avu'ava ome nehuno, kasrino hi'mnage avu'avazama ome haniana, agra manigahio? I'o. Agra omanigahianki frisigeno maka fatgo avu'ava'ma hu'nea zamo'a amnezankna hanige'na, Nagra ana zankura nagesa ontahigahue. Na'ankure kefo avu'ava huno kumi hu'neankino ana kumimofo nona'a omanigahianki frigahie.

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 Hianagi amanage huta hugahaze, Ra Anumzamo'ma hia avu'ava zamo'a fatgo osie huta hugahaze. Hagi Israeli vahe'mota antahiho, Nagri navu'navamo fatgoa hunefi, tamagri tamavu tamava'mo fatgoa hu'ne?

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 Hagi Fatgo avu'ava'ene vahe'mo'ma ana fatgo avu'ava'ama atreno kumi'ma haniana, agra kumi hugahiankino frigahie. Na'ankure fatgo osu avu'azama hania zanku huno agra frigahie.

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 Hagi kefo avu'ava'ma nehania vahe'mo'ma ana kefo avu'ava'ma atreno agu'ama rukrahe huno'ma fatgo avu'ava zama haniana, agra'a agu'vazigahie.

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 Na'ankure agra maka kefo avu'ava'ma hu'nea zana keno antahino nehuno, ana avu'ava zana atreno agu'a rukrahe hu'neankino, tamage huno agra ofrino manigahie.

Because he considereth and turneth away himself from all his iniquities which he hath wrought, he shall surely live, and not die.

29 Hianagi Israeli vahe'mota huta, Ra Anumzamofo avu'avamo'a fatgo osu'ne huta nehaze. Hagi tamage huno Nagri navu'navamo'a fatgoa osu'nefi? I'o. Tamagri tamavu tamava'mo fatgoa osu'ne.

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 E'ina hu'negu Israeli vahera, magoke magoke'mota tamagrama hu'nesaza avu'ava zante ante'na Nagra refko huramantegahue huno Mikozama Kegava Hu'nea Anumzamo'a hu'ne. Hagi aru tamagri kumi avu'ava zamo tamazeri haviza hanigi kefo avu'ava zana atreta tamagu'a rukrahe hiho.

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 Hagi kefo avu'avazama nehaza zana netreta tamagu'a rukrahe huta kasefa tamagu tamagesa enerita kasefa avamu eriho. Hagi Israeli vahe'mota nahanigeta tamagra frigahaze?

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 Na'ankure vahe'ma nefrizage'na Nagra musena nosuanki, tamagu'a rukrahe huta ofri amne maniho hu'na Miko'zama Kegava Hu'noa Anumzamo'na nehue.

For I desire not the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord God, return ye and live.
