Yexesqeel 18
1 Oo haddana Eraygii Rabbiga ayaa ii yimid isagoo leh,
And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
2 Maxaad ula jeeddaan markaad maahmaahdan dalka reer binu Israa'iil ugu maahmaahdaan, idinkoo leh, Aabbayaashu waxay cuneen canab dhanaan, oo carruurta ilkahoodiina way saliilyoodeen?
What mean ye, that ye use this proverb in the country of Israel, saying, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the teeth of the children are set on edge?
3 Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Noloshaydaan ku dhaartaye inaydaan mar dambe maahmaahdan dalka reer binu Israa'iil kaga dhex maahmaahi doonin.
As I live, saith the Lord Eternal, ye shall not have any more to use this proverb in Israel.
4 Bal eega, nafaha oo dhan anigaa iska leh, oo sida nafta aabbuhu ay taydii u tahay ayaa tan wiilkuna ay taydii u tahay, haddaba naftii dembaabtaa way dhiman doontaa.
Behold, all the souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son—mine are they: the soul which sinneth that alone shall die.
5 Laakiinse haddii nin xaq yahay oo uu waxa xaqa ah oo qumman sameeyo,
But if a man be righteous, and execute justice and righteousness;
6 oo uusan buuraha wax ku cunin, ama uusan indhihiisa sanamyada reer binu Israa'iil kor ugu taagin, ama uusan naagta deriskiisa nijaasayn, ama uusan naag xayl qabta u dhowaan,
Upon the mountains he eateth not, and his eyes he lifteth not up to the idols of the house of Israel, and the wife of his neighbor he defileth not, and unto a woman in her separation he cometh not near;
7 oo uusan cidna dulmin, laakiinse uu kii wax ka deyntay rahaamaddiisii u celiyey, oo uusan waxba xoog ku boobin, oo uu cuntadiisiina mid gaajaysan siiyey, oo uu kii qaawanna dhar huwiyey,
And he over-reacheth no man, he restoreth his pledge for a debt, a robbery he doth not commit, his bread he giveth to the hungry, and the naked he covereth with a garment;
8 ama uusan korsaar wax ku bixin, oo uusan ribo cidna ka qaadan, oo uu yahay mid gacantiisa xumaanta dib uga celiya, oo si caddaalad ah ugu garsooray nin iyo nin kale,
Upon interest he giveth not forth, and increase he doth not take, from wrong he withdraweth his hand, true judgment he executeth between man and man;
9 oo uu qaynuunnadayda ku socday, oo uu xukummadayda u xajiyey si uu wax qumman u sameeyo, kaasu waa xaq, oo hubaal wuu noolaan doonaa, ayaa Sayidka Rabbiga ahu leeyahay.
In my statutes he walketh steadfastly, and my ordinances he keepeth to deal truly: he is righteous, he shall surely live, saith the Lord Eternal.
10 Oo ninkaasu hadduu dhalo wiil tuug ah, oo gacankudhiigle ah, amase wax waxyaalahaas la mid ah sameeya,
If he [now] beget a dissolute son that sheddeth blood and doth to [his] brother any one of thee things;
11 oo uusan waxyaalaha waajibka ku ah samayn, laakiinse uu buuraha wax ku cunay, oo uu naagtii deriskiisana nijaaseeyey,
And he is one that doth not any of these [duties]; but eateth even upon the mountains, and defileth the wife of his neighbor;
12 oo uu miskiinka iyo saboolka baahan dulmay, oo uu xoog wax ku boobay, oo uusan cidna rahaamad u celin, oo uu indhihiisana sanamyada kor ugu taagay, oo uu wax karaahiya ah sameeyey,
The poor and needy he over-reacheth, he is guilty of robberies, the pledge he restoreth not, and to the idols he lifteth up his eyes, abominations he committeth:
13 oo uu korsaar wax ku bixiyey, oo uu cid kale ribo ka qaatay, kaasu miyuu noolaanayaa? Isagu noolaan maayo, waayo, waxyaalahaas karaahiyada ah oo dhan ayuu sameeyey, hubaal wuu dhiman doonaa, oo dhiiggiisuna isaguu dul saarnaan doonaa.
Upon interest he giveth forth, and increase he taketh: and he should live? he shall not live; all these abominations hath he done, he shall surely die; his blood shall be upon him.
14 Haddaba bal eeg, kaasu hadduu dhalo wiil dembigii aabbihiis sameeyey oo dhan arka, oo uu markaas cabsado, oo aan waxaas oo kale samayn,
And behold, if he beget a son, who seeth all the sins of his father which he hath done, and he considereth, and doth not the like of them;
15 oo uusan buuraha wax ku cunin, ama uusan indhihiisa sanamyada reer binu Israa'iil kor ugu taagin, oo uusan naagta deriskiisa nijaasayn,
Upon the mountains he eateth not, and his eyes he lifteth not up to the idols of the house of Israel, the wife of his neighbor he defileth not;
16 ama uusan cidnaba dulmin, oo uusan rahaamadda qaadan, oo uusan waxba xoog ku boobin, laakiinse uu cuntadiisa kii gaajaysan siiyey, oo kii qaawanna dhar huwiyey,
And he over-reacheth no man, a pledge he withholdeth not, and of a robbery he is never guilty, his bread he giveth to the hungry, and the naked he covereth with a garment;
17 oo uu gacantiisana masaakiinta dib uga celiyey, oo uusan korsaar amase ribo cidna ka qaadan, oo uu xukummadayda sameeyey, oo uu qaynuunnadayda ku socday, kaasu xumaantii aabbihiis sameeyey aawadeed uma dhiman doono, hubaalse wuu noolaan doonaa.
From the poor he withdraweth his hand, interest and increase he taketh not: my ordinances he executeth; in my statutes he walketh: —he shall not die for the iniquity of his father, he shall surely live.
18 Laakiinse aabbihiis xumaantiisuu ku dhex dhiman doonaa, maxaa yeelay, isagu si nac weyn ayuu wax u dulmay, oo walaalkiisna xoog buu wax kaga boobay, oo dadkiisana wax aan wanaagsanayn buu ku dhex sameeyey.
His father, because he unjustly withheld [wages], was guilty of robbery on his brother, and did that which is not good in the midst of his people, —and lo, he died through his iniquity.
19 Laakiinse idinku waxaad tidhaahdaan, Wiilku muxuu u qaadan waayaa xumaantii aabbihiis? Wiilku hadduu sameeyo waxa xaqa ah oo qumman, oo uu qaynuunnadayda oo dhan xajiyey, oo uu wada sameeyey, hubaal wuu noolaan doonaa.
Yet say ye, Why doth not the son bear part of the iniquity of the father? when the son hath executed justice and righteousness, all my statutes hath he kept, and hath done them: he shall surely live.
20 Nafta dembaabtaa way dhiman doontaa. Wiilku ma uu qaadan doono xumaanta aabbaha, aabbuhuna ma uu qaadan doono xumaanta wiilka. Ka xaqa ah xaqnimadiisaa dul saarnaan doonta, oo ka sharka lehna sharnimadiisaa dul saarnaan doonta.
The soul that sinneth, she alone shall die; the son shall not help to bear the iniquity of the father and the father shall not help to bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
21 Laakiinse ka sharka lihi hadduu dembiyadiisii uu sameeyey oo dhan ka soo noqdo, oo uu qaynuunnadayda oo dhan wada xajiyo, oo uu waxa xaqa ah oo qumman sameeyo, hubaal kaasu wuu noolaan doonaa, mana dhiman doono.
And the wicked, when he turneth away from all his sins that he hath committed, and keepeth all my statutes, and executeth justice and righteousness, shall surely live, he shall not die.
22 Oo xadgudubyadiisii uu sameeyey oo dhan midna looma soo xusuusan doono. Wuxuu ku noolaan doonaa xaqnimadiisii uu sameeyey.
All his transgressions which he hath committed shall not be remembered unto him: through his righteousness which he hath done shall he live.
23 Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Anigu miyaan innaba sharrowga dhimashadiisa ku farxaa? Sowse kama aan jecli inuu jidkiisa ka soo noqdo oo uu noolaado?
Have I then the least pleasure in the death of the wicked? saith the Lord Eternal: and not in his turning away from his ways, that he may live?
24 Laakiinse ka xaqa ahu hadduu xaqnimadiisa ka leexdo, oo uu xumaan sameeyo, oo uu wada sameeyo waxyaalaha karaahiyada ah ee uu sharrowgu sameeyo oo dhan, markaas miyuu sii noolaan doonaa? Waxyaalihii xaqa ahaa ee uu sameeyey oo dhan innaba lama soo xusuusan doono, oo wuxuu ku dhex dhiman doonaa xadgudubkiisii uu xadgudbay, iyo dembigiisii uu dembaabay.
But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth wrong, and doth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? all his righteousness that he hath done shall not he remembered: through his trespass which he hath committed, and through his sin that he hath done, —through them shall he die.
25 Laakiinse idinku waxaad tidhaahdaan, Sayidka jidkiisu ma qummana, haddaba reer binu Israa'iilow, bal i maqla. Sow jidkaygu ma qummana? Sow jidadkiinnu ma aha kuwa aan qummanaynu?
Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equitable: hear now, O house of Israel, Is not my way equitable? is it not your ways which are not equitable?
26 Marka ka xaqa ahu uu xaqnimadiisa ka leexdo, oo uu xumaan sameeyo, oo uu taas ku dhinto, wuxuu ku dhiman doonaa xumaantii uu sameeyey.
When a righteous man turneth away from his righteousness, and doth wrong, and dieth therefore: through his wrong which he hath done must he die.
27 Haddaba sharrowgu markuu sharnimadiisii uu sameeyey ka soo noqdo, oo uu waxa xaqa ah ee qumman sameeyo, markaasuu naftiisa badbaadin doonaa.
Again, when the wicked turneth away from his wickedness which he hath committed, and executeth justice and righteousness: he shall indeed preserve his soul alive.
28 Isagu wuu fiirsadaa, oo xadgudubyadiisii uu sameeyey oo dhan wuu ka soo noqdaa, oo sidaas aawadeed hubaal wuu noolaan doonaa, mana dhiman doono.
Because he hath considered, and turned away from all his transgressions which he had committed: he shall surely live, he shall not die.
29 Laakiinse reer binu Israa'iil waxay yidhaahdaan, Sayidka jidkiisu ma qummana. Reer binu Israa'iilow, sow jidadkaygu ma qummana? Sow jidadkiinnu ma aha kuwa aan qummanaynu?
Yet say the house of Israel, The way of the Lord is not equitable: are not my ways equitable, O house of Israel? is it not your ways which are not equitable?
30 Sidaas daraaddeed Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Reer binu Israa'iilow, anigu midkiin kastaba waxaan u xukumi doonaa siday jidadkiisu ahaayeen. Haddaba soo noqda, oo xadgudubyadiinnii oo dhan ka soo noqda, si ayan xumaantu halligaaddiinnii u noqon.
Therefore will I judge you, every one according to his ways, O house of Israel, saith the Lord Eternal: return ye, and cause others to return from all your transgressions, that iniquity may not become your stumbling-block.
31 Xadgudubyadiinnii aad xadgudubteen oo dhan iska xoora, oo waxaad yeelataan qalbi cusub iyo ruux cusub, waayo, reer binu Israa'iilow, bal maxaad u dhimanaysaan?
Cast away from yourselves all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make yourselves a new heart and a new spirit; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
32 Waayo, Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Anigu innaba kii dhinta dhimashadiisa kuma farxo, haddaba soo noqda oo noolaada.
For I have no pleasure in the death of him that deserveth to die, saith the Lord Eternal: therefore convert yourselves, and live.
