Izikeli 18
1 Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno nasmi'ne,
The word of Yahweh came to me again, saying,
2 Zamafahe'moza aka krepi raga nazageno mofavre'zmimofo zamagitera akahune hutama Israeli vahe'motama nehaza fronka nanekemofo agafa'amo'a nankna hu'ne?
“What do you mean, you who use this proverb concerning the land of Israel and say, 'Fathers eat sour grapes, and the children's teeth are made blunt'?
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—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—there will certainly no longer be any occasion for you to use this 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! Every life belong to me—the life of the father as well as the life of the son, they belong to me! The soul who sins is the one who will die!
5 Hagi mago fatgo avu'ava'ma nehania vahe'mo'ma knare huno fatgo avu'ava'ma nehuno,
What can be said about a man who is righteous and who carries out justice and righteousness—
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,
if he does not eat upon the mountains or lift up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, and he does not defile his neighbor's wife, nor approached a woman during her monthly period, is he a righteous man?
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,
What can be said about a man who does not oppress anyone, and he gives back to the debtor what was put up as security for a loan, and he does not commit theft but gives his food to the hungry and he covers the naked with clothes, is he a righteous man?
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,
What can be said about a man who does not charge too much interest for the money he loans, and he does not take too much profit for what he sells? It is said of him that he carries out justice and establishes faithfulness between people.
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.
If that man walks in my statutes and keeps my decrees to act faithfully, then the promise for this righteous man is this: He will surely live!—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.
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,
But suppose that he has a violent son who sheds blood and does any one of these things that were mentioned,
11 nefa'a anara osugahianagi, agra havi anumzamofonte'ma kresramnama vuntesaza ne'zana neneno, ru vahe'mofo a'nene savri nehuno,
(though his father has not done any of these things). He eats upon the mountains and he defiles his neighbor's wife, what can be said about him?
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,
This man oppresses the poor and needy, and he seizes and robs, and he does not return a pledge, and he lifts up his eyes to the idols and commits disgusting actions,
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.
and he lends out money at too high interest and he makes too much profit on what he sells, should that man live? Surely he will not! He will certainly die and his blood will be on him because he has done all these detestable things.
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 behold! Suppose there is a man who bears a son, and his son sees all the sins that his father has committed, and though he sees them, he does not do those things.
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 son does not eat upon the mountains, and he does not lift up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, and he does not defile his neighbor's wife, what can be said about him?
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,
That son does not oppress anyone, or seize a pledge, or take stolen things, but instead gives his food to the hungry and covers up the naked with clothes.
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 son does not oppress anyone or take interest that is too high or make too much profit for a loan, but he carries out my decrees and walks according to my statutes; that son will not die for his father's sin: He will surely 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.
His father, since he oppressed others by extortion and robbed his brother, and did what is not good among his people—behold, he will die in his 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.
But you say, 'Why does the son not bear the iniquity of his father?' Because the son carries out justice and righteousness and keeps all my statutes; he does them. He will surely 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 one who sins, he is the one who will die. A son will not bear his father's iniquity, and a father will not bear his son's iniquity. The righteousness of the one who acts rightly will be on himself, and the wickedness of the wicked will be on himself.
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 turns away from all his sins that he has done, and keeps all my statutes and performs justice and righteousness, then he will certainly live and not die.
22 Hagi magore hu'na mago kumi'agura nagesa ontahigosue. Na'ankure fatgo avu'avaza hugahiankino ofri amne manigahie.
All the transgressions that he has committed will not be called to mind against him. He will live by the righteousness that he practices.
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.
Do I greatly rejoice over the death of the wicked—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—and not in his turning away from his way so that he may 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 righteous person turns away from his righteousness and commits iniquity and practices abominations like all the abominations that the wicked person does, then will he live? All the righteousness that he had done will not be called to mind when he betrays me in his treason. So he will die in the sins that he committed.
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?
But you say, 'The way of the Lord is not fair!' Listen, house of Israel! Are my ways unfair? Is it not your ways that are unfair?
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.
When the righteous man turns away from his righteousness, and commits iniquity and dies because of them, then he will die in the iniquity that he has done.
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.
But when a wicked man turns away from his wickedness that he has done and performs justice and righteousness, then he will preserve his life.
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.
For he has seen and turned away from all the transgressions that he had done. He will surely live, and he will 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.
But the house of Israel says, 'The way of the Lord is not fair!' How is my way not fair, house of Israel? It is your ways that are not fair.
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 I will judge each man among you according to his ways, house of Israel!—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration. Repent and turn away from all your transgressions so that they will not be stumbling blocks of iniquity against you.
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?
Throw away from yourselves all of the transgressions that you have committed; make for yourselves a new heart and a new spirit. Why should you die, 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 have no delight in the death of the one who dies—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—so repent and live!”
