Ezekiel 18
1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tún tọ̀ mí wá wí pé:
2 'What mean ye, that ye use this proverb in the land of Israel, saying: The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge?
“Kín ni ẹ̀yin rò tí ẹ̀yin fi ń pa òwe nípa Israẹli wí pé: “‘Àwọn baba ti jẹ èso àjàrà kíkan, eyín àwọn ọmọ sì kan.’
3 As I live, saith the Lord GOD, ye shall not have occasion any more to use this proverb in Israel.
“Bí mo ti wà láààyè ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí, ẹ̀yin kí yóò pa òwe yìí mọ́ ni Israẹli.
4 Behold, all souls are Mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is Mine; the soul that sinneth, it shall die.
Nítorí pé èmi ló ní gbogbo ọkàn, ọkàn baba tèmi bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ọkàn ọmọ pàápàá jẹ tèmi, ọkàn tó bá ṣẹ̀ ní yóò kú.
5 But if a man be just, and do that which is lawful and right,
“Bí ọkùnrin olódodo kan bá wà, tó ń ṣe ohun tó tọ́, tó sì yẹ
6 and hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, neither hath defiled his neighbour's wife, neither hath come near to a woman in her impurity;
tí kò bá wọn jẹun lórí òkè gíga, tí kò gbójú rẹ̀ sókè sí àwọn òrìṣà ilẹ̀ Israẹli, ti kò sì ba obìnrin aládùúgbò rẹ̀ jẹ́ tàbí kí ó sùn ti obìnrin ni àsìkò èérí rẹ̀.
7 and hath not wronged any, but hath restored his pledge for a debt, hath taken nought by robbery, hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment;
Kò sì ni ẹnikẹ́ni lára, ó sì sanwó fún onígbèsè rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bó ṣe ṣe ìlérí fún un, kò fi ipá jalè ṣùgbọ́n ó fún ẹni tí ebi ń pa ní oúnjẹ, tí ó sì fi ẹ̀wù wọ àwọn tí ó wà ní ìhòhò.
8 he that hath not given forth upon interest, neither hath taken any increase, that hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity, hath executed true justice between man and man,
Ẹni tí kò fi fún ni láti gba ẹ̀dá, tàbí kò gba èlé tó pọ̀jù. Ó yọ ọwọ́ rẹ̀ kúrò nínú ìwà ẹ̀ṣẹ̀, ó sì ń ṣe ìdájọ́ òtítọ́ láàrín ọkùnrin kan àti èkejì rẹ̀.
9 hath walked in My statutes, and hath kept Mine ordinances, to deal truly; he is just, he shall surely live, saith the Lord GOD.
Tí ó ń tẹ̀lé àṣẹ mi, tí ó sì ń pa òfin mi mọ́ lóòtítọ́ àti lódodo. Ó jẹ́ olódodo, yóò yè nítòótọ́, ní Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.
10 If he beget a son that is a robber, a shedder of blood, and that doeth to a brother any of these things,
“Bí ó bá bi ọmọkùnrin, oníwà ipá, tó ń jalè, tó tún ń pànìyàn, tó sì ń ṣe gbogbo àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí sí arákùnrin rẹ̀
11 whereas he himself had not done any of these things, for he hath even eaten upon the mountains, and defiled his neighbour's wife,
(tí kò sì ṣe ọ̀kan nínú gbogbo iṣẹ́ wọ̀n-ọn-nì): “Ó ń jẹun lójúbọ lórí òkè gíga, tí ó sì ba obìnrin aládùúgbò rẹ̀ jẹ́.
12 hath wronged the poor and needy, hath taken by robbery, hath not restored the pledge, and hath lifted up his eyes to the idols, hath committed abomination,
Ó ni àwọn tálákà àti aláìní lára, ó ń fipá jalè, kì í dá padà gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìlérí, o gbójú sókè sí òrìṣà, ó sì ń ṣe ohun ìríra.
13 hath given forth upon interest, and hath taken increase; shall he then live? he shall not live — he hath done all these abominations; he shall surely be put to death, his blood shall be upon him.
Ó ń fi owó ya ni pẹ̀lú èlé, ó sì tún ń gba èlé tó pọ̀jù. Ǹjẹ́ irú ọkùnrin yìí wa le è yè bí? Òun kì yóò wá láààyè! Nítorí pé òun ti ṣe àwọn ohun ìríra yìí, kíkú ni yóò kú, ẹ̀jẹ̀ rẹ yóò sì wá lórí rẹ̀.
14 Now, lo, if he beget a son, that seeth all his father's sins, which he hath done, and considereth, and doeth not such like,
“Bí ọkùnrin yìí bá bímọ ọkùnrin, tó sì rí gbogbo ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ti baba rẹ ń ṣẹ̀ yìí, tó sì bẹ̀rù, ti kò ṣe irú rẹ̀:
15 that hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, hath not defiled his neighbour's wife,
“Tí kò jẹun lójúbọ lórí òkè gíga tàbí kò gbójú sókè sí àwọn òrìṣà ilé Israẹli, tí kò sì ba obìnrin aládùúgbò rẹ̀ jẹ́
16 neither hath wronged any, hath not taken aught to pledge, neither hath taken by robbery, but hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment,
tí kò sì ni ẹnikẹ́ni lára, tí kò dá ohun ògo dúró tí kò gba èlé tàbí kò fipá jalè ṣùgbọ́n tí ó ń fún ẹni tébi ń pa lóúnjẹ, tó sì fi aṣọ bo àwọn oníhòhò.
17 that hath withdrawn his hand from the poor, that hath not received interest nor increase, hath executed Mine ordinances, hath walked in My statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity of his father, he shall surely live.
Ó ń yọ ọwọ́ rẹ kúrò nínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀, kò sì gba èlé tàbí èlé tó pọ̀jù, tí ó ń pa òfin mi mọ́, tí ó sì ń tẹ̀lé àwọn àṣẹ mi. Kò ní kú fún ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ baba rẹ̀, nítòótọ́ ní yóò yè!
18 As for his father, because he cruelly oppressed, committed robbery on his brother, and did that which is not good among his people, behold, he dieth for his iniquity.
Ṣùgbọ́n baba rẹ̀ ni yóò kú fún ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ara rẹ̀, nítorí pé ó jẹ́ arẹ́nijẹ, ó jalè arákùnrin rẹ, ó ṣe ohun tí kò dára láàrín àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀.
19 Yet say ye: Why doth not the son bear the iniquity of the father with him? When the son hath done that which is lawful and right, and hath kept all My statutes, and hath done them, he shall surely live.
“Síbẹ̀, ẹ tún ń béèrè pé, ‘Kí ló dé ti ọmọ kò fi ní í ru ẹ̀bi baba rẹ̀?’ Níwọ́n ìgbà tí ọmọ ti ṣe ohun tó tọ́, tó sì yẹ, tó sì ti kíyèsi ara láti pa gbogbo àṣẹ mi mọ́, nítòótọ́ ni pé yóò yè.
20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die; the son shall not bear the iniquity of the father with him, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son with him; the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
Ọkàn tí ó bá ṣẹ̀ ní yóò kú. Ọmọ kò ní í ru ẹ̀bi baba rẹ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni baba náà kò ní ru ẹ̀bi ọmọ rẹ̀. Ìwà rere ènìyàn rere yóò wà lórí rẹ̀, ìwà búburú ti ènìyàn búburú náà la ó kà sí i lọ́rùn.
21 But if the wicked turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all My statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
“Ṣùgbọ́n bí ènìyàn búburú bá yípadà kúrò nínú gbogbo ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ̀ tó ti dá, tó sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí í pa àṣẹ mi mọ́, tó sì ń ṣe ohun tó tọ́ àti ohun tó yẹ, nítòótọ́ ni yóò yè, kò sì ní kú.
22 None of his transgressions that he hath committed shall be remembered against him; for his righteousness that he hath done he shall live.
A kò sì ní rántí gbogbo ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ tó ti dá tẹ́lẹ̀ láti kà á sí lọ́rùn nítorí tí ìwà òdodo rẹ tó fihàn, yóò yè.
23 Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD; and not rather that he should return from his ways, and live?
Ǹjẹ́ èmi ha ni inú dídùn si ikú ènìyàn búburú bí í? Ní Olúwa Olódùmarè wí pé, dípò èyí inú mi kò ha ni i dùn nígbà tó ba yípadà kúrò ni àwọn ọ̀nà búburú rẹ̀ kí ó sì yè?
24 But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? None of his righteous deeds that he hath done shall be remembered; for his trespass that he trespassed, and for his sin that he hath sinned, for them shall he die.
“Ṣùgbọ́n bí ènìyàn rere bá yípadà kúrò ni ọ̀nà òdodo rẹ̀ tó sì ń dẹ́ṣẹ̀, tí ó sì tún ń ṣe àwọn ohun ìríra tí ènìyàn búburú ń ṣe, yóò wa yè bí? A kì yóò rántí ọ̀kankan nínú ìwà rere rẹ̀ mọ́, nítorí ó ti jẹ̀bi ìwà àrékérekè àti ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ tó dá, yóò sì kú.
25 Yet ye say: The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear now, O house of Israel: Is it My way that is not equal? is it not your ways that are unequal?
“Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, ẹ̀yin tún wí pé, ‘Ọ̀nà Olúwa kò gún.’ Gbọ́ nísinsin yìí, ìwọ ilé Israẹli. Ọ̀nà mi ni kò ha gún? Kì í wa ṣé pé ọ̀nà tiyín gan an ni kò gún?
26 When the righteous man turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, he shall die therefor; for his iniquity that he hath done shall he die.
Bí olódodo ba yípadà kúrò nínú olódodo rẹ̀, tó sì dẹ́ṣẹ̀, yóò ku fún ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ̀, yóò kú nítorí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ tó ti dá.
27 Again, when the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive.
Ṣùgbọ́n bi ènìyàn búburú bá yípadà kúrò nínú ìwà búburú tó ti ṣe, tó sì ṣe ohun tó tọ́ àti ohun tó yẹ, yóò gba ẹ̀mí rẹ̀ là.
28 Because he considereth, and turneth away from all his transgressions that he hath committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
Nítorí pé ó ronú lórí gbogbo ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ tó ti dá, ó sì yípadà kúrò nínú wọn, nítòótọ́ ni yóò yè; kì yóò sí kú.
29 Yet saith the house of Israel: The way of the Lord is not equal. O house of Israel, is it My ways that are not equal? is it not your ways that are unequal?
Síbẹ̀, ilé Israẹli wí pé, ‘Ọ̀nà Olúwa kò gún.’ Ọ̀nà mi kò ha tọ́ bí ilé Israẹli? Kì í wa ṣe pè ọ̀nà tiyín gan an ni ko gún?
30 Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord GOD. Return ye, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so shall they not be a stumblingblock of iniquity unto you.
“Nítorí náà, ilé Israẹli, èmi yóò da yín lẹ́jọ́, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀nà ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan yín bá ṣe rí ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí. Ẹ yípadà! Kí ẹ si yí kúrò nínú gbogbo ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ yín, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìrékọjá kì yóò jẹ́ ọ̀nà ìṣubú yín.
31 Cast away from you all your transgressions, wherein ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
Ẹ kọ̀ gbogbo ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ti ẹ ti dá sílẹ̀, kí ẹ sì gba ọkàn àti ẹ̀mí tuntun. Nítorí kí ló fi máa kú, ilé Israẹli?
32 For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD; wherefore turn yourselves, and live.
Nítorí pé inú mi kò dùn sí ikú ẹnikẹ́ni ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí. Nítorí náà, ẹ yípadà kí ẹ sì yè!
