Ezekiel 18
1 Ang salita ng Panginoon ay dumating uli sa akin, na nagsasabi,
The LORD’s word came to me again, saying,
2 Anong ibig ninyong sabihin na inyong sinasambit ang kawikaang ito tungkol sa lupain ng Israel, na sinasabi, Kinain ng mga magulang ang mga maasim na ubas, at ang mga ngipin ng mga anak ay nagsisipangilo?
“What do you mean, that you use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying, ‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge’?
3 Buhay ako, sabi ng Panginoong Dios, hindi na ninyo sasambitin pa ang kawikaang ito sa Israel.
“As I live,” says the Lord GOD, “you shall not use this proverb any more in Israel.
4 Narito, lahat ng kaluluwa ay akin; kung paano ang kaluluwa ng ama, gayon din ang kaluluwa ng anak ay akin: ang kaluluwa na nagkakasala ay mamamatay.
Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine. The soul who sins, he shall die.
5 Nguni't kung ang isang tao ay maging ganap, at gumawa ng tapat at matuwid,
“But if a man is just, and does that which is lawful and right,
6 At hindi kumain sa mga bundok, o itinaas man ang kaniyang mga mata sa mga diosdiosan ng sangbahayan ni Israel, o nadumhan man ang asawa ng kaniyang kapuwa, o lumapit man sa isang babae na may kapanahunan:
and has not eaten on the mountains, has not lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, has not defiled his neighbor’s wife, has not come near a woman in her impurity,
7 At hindi pumighati sa kanino man, kundi nagsauli ng sangla sa mangungutang sa kaniya, hindi sumamsam ng anoman sa pamamagitan ng pangdadahas nagbigay ng kaniyang tinapay sa gutom, at nagbalot ng kasuutan sa hubad;
and has not wronged any, but has restored to the debtor his pledge, has taken nothing by robbery, has given his bread to the hungry, and has covered the naked with a garment;
8 Siya na hindi nagbigay na may patubo, o kumuha man ng anomang pakinabang, na iniurong ang kaniyang kamay sa kasamaan, gumawa ng tunay na kahatulan sa tao't tao,
he who has not lent to them with interest, has not taken any increase from them, who has withdrawn his hand from iniquity, has executed true justice between man and man,
9 Lumakad ng ayon sa aking mga palatuntunan, at nagingat ng aking mga kahatulan upang gawing may katotohanan; siya'y ganap, siya'y walang pagsalang mabubuhay, sabi ng Panginoong Dios.
has walked in my statutes, and has kept my ordinances, to deal truly; he is just, he shall surely live,” says the Lord GOD.
10 Kung siya'y magkaanak ng isang lalake na tulisan, mangbububo ng dugo, at gumagawa ng alin man sa mga ganitong bagay,
“If he fathers a son who is a robber who sheds blood, and who does any one of these things,
11 At hindi gumagawa ng alin man sa mga katungkulang yaon, kundi kumain nga sa mga bundok, at nadumhan ang asawa ng kaniyang kapuwa,
or who does not do any of those things but has eaten at the mountain shrines and defiled his neighbor’s wife,
12 Pumighati ng dukha at mapagkailangan, sumamsam sa pamamagitan ng pangdadahas, hindi nagsauli ng sangla, at itinaas ang kaniyang mga mata sa mga diosdiosan, gumawa ng kasuklamsuklam.
has wronged the poor and needy, has taken by robbery, has not restored the pledge, and has lifted up his eyes to the idols, has committed abomination,
13 Nagbigay na may patubo, at tumanggap ng pakinabang; mabubuhay nga baga siya? siya'y hindi mabubuhay: kaniyang ginawa ang lahat na kasuklamsuklam na ito: siya'y walang pagsalang mamamatay; ang kaniyang dugo ay sasa kaniya.
has lent with interest, and has taken increase from the poor, shall he then live? He shall not live. He has done all these abominations. He shall surely die. His blood will be on him.
14 Ngayon, narito, kung siya'y magkaanak ng isang lalake, na nakikita ang lahat na kasalanan ng kaniyang ama na ginawa, at natatakot, at hindi gumagawa ng gayon;
“Now, behold, if he fathers a son who sees all his father’s sins which he has done, and fears, and does not do likewise,
15 Na hindi kumain sa mga bundok, o itinaas man ang kaniyang mga mata sa mga diosdiosan ng sangbahayan ni Israel; hindi nadumhan ang asawa ng kaniyang kapuwa,
who has not eaten on the mountains, has not lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, has not defiled his neighbor’s wife,
16 O pumighati man sa kanino man, hindi tumanggap ng anomang sangla, o sumamsam man sa pamamagitan ng pangdadahas, kundi nagbigay ng kaniyang tinapay sa gutom, at nagbalot ng kasuutan sa hubad;
has not wronged any, has not taken anything to pledge, has not taken by robbery, but has given his bread to the hungry, and has covered the naked with a garment;
17 Na iniurong ang kaniyang kamay sa dukha, na hindi tumanggap ng patubo o ng pakinabang man, ginawa ang aking mga kahatulan, lumakad sa aking mga palatuntunan, hindi siya mamamatay, ng dahil sa kasamaan ng kaniyang ama, siya'y walang pagsalang mabubuhay.
who has withdrawn his hand from the poor, who has not received interest or increase, has executed my ordinances, has walked in my statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity of his father. He shall surely live.
18 Tungkol sa kaniyang ama, sapagka't siya'y pumighating may kabagsikan, sumamsam sa kaniyang kapatid sa pamamagitan ng pangdadahas, at gumawa ng hindi mabuti sa gitna ng kaniyang bayan, narito siya'y mamamatay sa kaniyang kasamaan.
As for his father, because he cruelly oppressed, robbed his brother, and did that which is not good among his people, behold, he will die in his iniquity.
19 Gayon ma'y sinasabi ninyo, Bakit hindi dinadala ng anak ang kasamaan ng ama? Pagka ginawa ng anak ang tapat at matuwid, at nag-ingat ng lahat na aking palatuntunan, at isinagawa, siya'y walang pagsalang mabubuhay.
“Yet you say, ‘Why does not the son bear the iniquity of the father?’ When the son has done that which is lawful and right, and has kept all my statutes, and has done them, he will surely live.
20 Ang kaluluwa na nagkakasala, mamamatay: ang anak ay hindi magdadanas ng kasamaan ng ama, o magdadanas man ang ama ng kasamaan ng anak; ang katuwiran ng matuwid ay sasa kaniya, at ang kasamaan ng masama ay sasa kaniya.
The soul who sins, he shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be on him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be on him.
21 Nguni't kung ang masama ay humiwalay sa kaniyang lahat na kasalanan na kaniyang nagawa, at ingatan ang lahat na aking mga palatuntunan, at gumawa ng tapat at matuwid, siya'y walang pagsalang mabubuhay, siya'y hindi mamamatay.
“But if the wicked turns from all his sins that he has committed, and keeps all my statutes, and does that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live. He shall not die.
22 Wala sa kaniyang mga pagsalangsang na nagawa niya na aalalahanin laban sa kaniya: sa kaniyang katuwiran na kaniyang ginawa ay mabubuhay siya.
None of his transgressions that he has committed will be remembered against him. In his righteousness that he has done, he shall live.
23 Mayroon baga akong anomang kasayahan sa kamatayan ng masama? sabi ng Panginoong Dios: at hindi baga mabuti na siya'y humiwalay sa kaniyang lakad, at mabuhay?
Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked?” says the Lord GOD, “and not rather that he should return from his way, and live?
24 Nguni't pagka ang matuwid ay humiwalay sa kaniyang katuwiran, at gumagawa ng kasamaan, at gumagawa ng ayon sa lahat na kasuklamsuklam na ginagawa ng masamang tao, mabubuhay baga siya? Walang aalalahanin sa kaniyang mga matuwid na gawa na kaniyang ginawa: sa kaniyang pagsalangsang na kaniyang isinalangsang, at sa kaniyang kasalanan na kaniyang ipinagkasala, sa mga yaon mamamatay siya.
“But when the righteous turns away from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, and does according to all the abominations that the wicked man does, should he live? None of his righteous deeds that he has done will be remembered. In his trespass that he has trespassed, and in his sin that he has sinned, in them he shall die.
25 Gayon ma'y inyong sinasabi, Ang daan ng Panginoon ay hindi matuwid. Pakinggan mo ngayon, Oh sangbahayan ni Israel, Hindi baga ang aking daan ay matuwid? hindi baga ang iyong mga lakad ang di matuwid?
“Yet you say, ‘The way of the Lord is not equal.’ Hear now, house of Israel: Is my way not equal? Are not your ways unequal?
26 Pagka ang matuwid ay humihiwalay sa kaniyang katuwiran, at gumagawa ng kasamaan, at kinamamatayan; sa kasamaan na kaniyang nagawa ay mamamatay siya.
When the righteous man turns away from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, and dies in it, then he dies in his iniquity that he has done.
27 Muli, pagka ang masama ay humihiwalay sa kaniyang kasamaan na kaniyang nagawa, at gumawa ng tapat at matuwid, kaniyang ililigtas na buhay ang kaniyang kaluluwa.
Again, when the wicked man turns away from his wickedness that he has committed, and does that which is lawful and right, he will save his soul alive.
28 Sapagka't siya'y nagmunimuni, at humiwalay sa lahat niyang pagsalangsang na kaniyang nagawa, siya'y walang pagsalang mabubuhay, siya'y hindi mamamatay.
Because he considers, and turns away from all his transgressions that he has committed, he shall surely live. He shall not die.
29 Gayon ma'y sabi ng sangbahayan ni Israel, Ang daan ng Panginoon ay hindi matuwid. Oh sangbahayan ni Israel, hindi baga ang aking mga daan ay matuwid? hindi baga ang iyong mga lakad ay ang di matuwid?
Yet the house of Israel says, ‘The way of the Lord is not fair.’ House of Israel, are not my ways fair? Are not your ways unfair?
30 Kaya't hahatulan ko kayo, Oh sangbahayan ni Israel, bawa't isa'y ayon sa kaniyang mga lakad, sabi ng Panginoong Dios. Kayo'y mangagbalik-loob, at magsihiwalay kayo sa lahat ninyong pagsalangsang; sa gayo'y ang kasamaan ay hindi magiging inyong kapahamakan.
“Therefore I will judge you, house of Israel, everyone according to his ways,” says the Lord GOD. “Return, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions, so iniquity will not be your ruin.
31 Inyong iwaksi ang lahat ninyong pagsalangsang, na inyong isinalangsang: at kayo'y magbagong loob at magbagong diwa: sapagka't bakit kayo mamamatay, Oh angkan ni Israel?
Cast away from you all your transgressions in which you have transgressed; and make yourself a new heart and a new spirit. For why will you die, house of Israel?
32 Sapagka't wala akong kasayahan sa kamatayan niya na namamatay, sabi ng Panginoong Dios: kaya't magsipagbalik-loob kayo, at kayo'y mangabuhay.
For I have no pleasure in the death of him who dies,” says the Lord GOD. “Therefore turn yourselves, and live!
