Ezekiela 18
1 Niheo amako indraike ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe;
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2 Ino ty tea’ areo ho saontsieñe, ie manoñoñe o razan-drehake zao ty amy tane’ Israeley, manao ty hoe; Nikama valoboke makira o roae’eo vaho mangitsy ty nife’ o amori’eo?
Son of man, what mean ye by this parable among the children of Israel, saying, The fathers have eaten unripe grapes, and the children's teeth have been set on edge?
3 Aa kanao velon-dRaho, hoe t’Iehovà Talè, le tsy hanam-pototse ka nahareo hanoñoñe i razan-drehakey e Israele ao.
[As] I live, saith the Lord, surely this parable shall no more be spoken in Israel.
4 Oniño te kila ahy ze arofo; fonga ahy ty fiain-drae naho ty fiain’anake; ze ondaty manao hakeo ro hihomake.
For all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son, they are mine: the soul that sins, it shall die.
5 Fa naho vantañe t’indaty, manao ty hahiti’e naho ty havañonañe,
But the man who shall be just, who executes judgment and righteousness,
6 tsy mikama an-kaboañe ey, naho tsy miandra fihaino amo samposampon’ anjomba’ Israeleo naho tsy mandeotse ty valin-drañe’e, vaho tsy mitotoke rakemba miambolañe,
who shall not eat upon the mountains, and shall not at all lift up his eyes to the devices of the house of Israel, and shall not defile his neighbor's wife, and shall not draw nigh to her that is removed,
7 tsy mamorekeke ondaty, fe mañavak’ amy mpampisongoy ty nampitsaloha’e, tsy mampikametse, fe mamahañe ty kerè ami’ty mahakama’e vaho manaroñe ty mihalo an-tsikiñe;
and shall not oppress any man, [but] shall return the pledge of the debtor, and shall be guilty of no plunder, shall give his bread to the hungry, and clothe the naked;
8 tsy mampisongo hangala’e ana’e naho tsy mandrambe tombo’e, manintake ty fità’e ami’ty hatsivokarañe, le manao zaka to añivo’ t’indaty naho t’indaty,
and shall not lend his money upon usury, and shall not receive usurious increase, and shall turn back his hand from injustice, shall execute righteous judgment between a man and his neighbor,
9 vaho mañavelo amo fañèkoo naho mitàna o fepèkoo hanao ty hiti’e. Vañon-dre tsi-mete tsy ho veloñe, hoe t’Iehovà Talè.
and has walked in my commandments and kept mine ordinances, to do them; he is righteous, he shall surely live, saith the Lord.
10 Aa ie mahatoly anake ho malaso ndra mpampiori-dio
And if he beget a mischievous son, shedding blood and committing sins,
11 (ndra te tsy manao ndra raik’ amy raha rezay ty rae’e); ie mifanjotse an-kaboañe ey, mamahotse ty valin-drañe’e,
who has not walked in the way of his righteous father, but has even eaten upon the mountains, and has defiled his neighbor's wife,
12 mamorekeke ty rarake naho ty poi’e, mikizo, tsy mañavake songo, miandra amy ze samposampo, mbore manao hativàñe,
and has oppressed the poor and needy, and has committed robbery, and not restored a pledge, and has set his eyes upon idols, has wrought iniquities,
13 mitake ana’e naho mampisongo naho mangala tombo’e, aa vaho ho velon-dre? Toe tsy ho veloñe; hativàñe iaby i nanoe’e rezay; tsy mahay tsy havetrake, vaho ho ama’e ty lio’e.
has lent upon usury, and taken usurious increase; he shall by no means live: he has wrought all these iniquities; he shall surely die; his blood shall be upon him.
14 Aa ie misamak’ anake maharendreke o hene hakeo nanoen-droae’eo, le ndra te oni’e tsy orihe’e,
And if he beget a son, and [the son] see all his father's sins which he has wrought, and fear, and not do according to them,
15 tsy mikama am-bohitsey, tsy miandra amo samposampo’ Israeleo, tsy mandeotse ty valin-drañe’e,
and [if he] has not eaten on the mountains, and has not set his eyes on the devices of the house of Israel, and has not defiled his neighbor's wife,
16 naho tsy mamorekeke ondaty, tsy mitana ty tsinoa’e, tsy mampikametse, te mone fahana’e ty saliko, saroña’e sikiñe ty miboridañe
and has not oppressed a man, and has not retained the pledge, nor committed robbery, has given his bread to the hungry, and has clothed the naked,
17 naho sintone’e ty fità’e tsy hanindry ty rarake, tsy mandrambe ana’e, tsy mampitombo, ie manao ze nandiliako iaby vaho mañavelo amo fañèkoo, le tsy hihomake an-tahin-drae’e, fa toe ho veloñe.
and has turned back his hand from unrighteousness, has not received interest or usurious increase, has wrought righteousness, and walked in mine ordinances; he shall not die for the iniquities of his father, he shall surely live.
18 Ty rae’e ka, ie namorekeke am-pampisoañañe, naho nitavañe an-drahalahi’e, vaho nanao ty tsy havokarañe am’ ondati’eo; oniño t’ie tsy mete tsy hikenkañe ty amo hakeo’eo.
But if his father grievously afflict, or plunder, he has wrought enmity in the midst of my people, and shall die in his iniquity.
19 Aa naho manao ty hoe nahareo, Aa vaho akore te tsy vavè’ i ana’ey ty tahin-drae’e? Amy te niaiña’ i anakey o lilio, naho ty havañonañe, naho nivontitire’e iaby o fañèkoo, vaho nanoe’e, le toe ho veloñe.
But ye will say, Why has not the son borne the iniquity of the father? Because the son has wrought judgment and mercy, has kept all my statues, and done them, he shall surely live.
20 T’indaty manao hakeo ty hihomake. Tsy hivave ty tahin-drae’e ty ana’e, vaho tsy hivave ty hakeon’ ana’e ty rae; fa ty havañona’ i vantañey ro aze, naho ty haratia’ i lo-tserekey ro aze.
But the soul that sins shall die: and the son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, nor shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the iniquity of the transgressor shall be upon him.
21 Aa naho iambohoa’ i raty tserekey o hakeo nanoe’eo naho mifahatse amo hene fañèkoo vaho mañavelo an-kamarentane naho an-kahiti’e, toe ho velon-dre fa tsy hivetrake.
And if the transgressor turn away from all his iniquities which he has committed, and keep all my commandments, and do justice and mercy, he shall surely live, and shall by no means die.
22 Tsy ho volilieñe ama’e o fiolàñe iaby nanoe’eo; o havañonañe anoe’eo ro hiveloma’e.
None of his trespasses which he has committed shall be remembers: in his righteousness which he has done he shall live.
23 Paiako hao ty fihomaha’ o lo-tserekeo? hoe t’Iehovà Talè, Tsy hàmake te apo’e o sata’eo, soa te ho veloñe?
Shall I at all desire death of the sinner, saith the Lord, as I [desire] that he should turn from [his] evil way, and live?
24 Fa naho mienga i havantaña’ey ty vantañe naho manao hakeo, vaho fonga anoe’e ty sata tiva’ o tsivokatseo, ho veloñe hao? Toe tsy ho volilieñe ama’e ze hene havantañañe nanoe’e, fa i fiolàñe nandilara’ey naho o tahiñe nanoe’eo ty hivetraha’e.
But when the righteous man turns away from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, according to all the transgressions which the transgressor has wrought, none of his righteousness which he has wrought shall be at all remembered: in his trespass wherein he has trespassed, and in his sins wherein he has sinned, in them shall he die.
25 Aa naho anoa’ areo ty hoe: Tsy mira ty lala’ i Talè. Mijanjiña arè ry anjomba’ Israele: Ty lalako hao ro tsy mira? kera ty anahareo ro mengoke.
Yet ye have said, The way of the Lord is not straight. Hear now, all the house of Israel; will not my way be straight? Is your way straight?
26 Naho apo’ ty vantañe ty havantaña’e vaho manao hakeo, le hihomake re; o tahiñe nanoe’eo ty hivetraha’e.
When the righteous turns away from his righteousness and commits a trespass, and dies in the trespass he has committed, he shall [even] die in it.
27 Ie ka, naho aforintse’ i tsivokatsey o tsy havokarañe nanoe’eo, vaho mañavelo ami’ty fahiti’e naho ty havantañañe le hirombak’aiñe.
And when the wicked man turns away from his wickedness that he has committed, and shall do judgment and justice, he has kept his soul,
28 Kanao nioni’e naho fonga nado’e o fiolàñe nanoe’eo, le toe ho veloñe; tsy hihomake.
and has turned away from all his ungodliness which he has committed: he shall surely live, he shall not die.
29 Aa ie henaneo, naho hanao ty hoe ty anjomba’ Israele, tsy vantañe ty lala’ i Talè; Ry Anjomba’ Israele, tsy mahity hao o lalakoo? Toe ty lala’ areo ro tsy vantañe.
Yet the house of Israel say, The way of the Lord is not right. Is not my way right, O house of Israel? is not your way wrong?
30 Aa le ho zakaeko nahareo ry anjomba’ Israele, songa ty amo sata’eo, hoe t’Iehovà Talè. Misolohoa vaho iambohò o fiolà’ areoo, tsy mone hampiantoe’ o tahi’ areoo.
I will judge you, O house of Israel, saith the Lord, each one according to his way: be converted, and turn from all your ungodliness, and it shall not become to you the punishment of iniquity.
31 Ahifiho tsy ho ama’ areo ze fonga fiolàñe niolà’ areo, naho itseneo troke vao, vaho arofo vao; fa ino ty hivetraha’ areo, ry anjomba’ Israele?
Cast away from yourselves all your ungodliness wherein ye have sinned against me; and make to yourselves a new heart and a new spirit: for why should ye die, O house of Israel?
32 Toe tsy mahafale ahy ty fihomaha’ i mikoromakey, hoe t’Iehovà Talè; aa le mimpolia soa te ho veloñe.
For I desire not the death of him that dies, saith the Lord.
