Ezekyèl 18

1 Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:

And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.

2 -Poukisa y'ap plede repete pwovèb sa a nan peyi Izrayèl la? Y'ap di: Papa ak manman manje rezen vèt, men se dan pitit yo ki gasi.

What? [is] to you you [are] speaking a proverb the proverb this on [the] land of Israel saying parents they eat sour grape[s] and [the] teeth of the children they are blunt.

3 Se poutèt sa, jan nou konnen mwen vivan vre a, se mwen menm Seyè a, Bondye sèl Mèt la, ki di sa: Nou p'ap janm repete pwovèb sa a ankò nan peyi Izrayèl la.

[by] [the] life Of me [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh if it will belong to you again to speak a proverb the proverb this in Israel.

4 Lavi tout moun, papa, manman kou pitit, se pou mwen yo ye. Moun ki fè peche a, se li menm k'ap mouri.

Here! all lives [belong] to me they as [the] life of the parent and as [the] life of the child [belong] to me they the soul which sins it it will die.

5 Ann pran ka yon moun k'ap mache dwat devan Bondye, ki fè sa li dwe fè, ki pa nan patipri.

And anyone for he will be righteous and he will do justice and righteousness.

6 Li pa moute nan mòn pou l' al bay zidòl manje, ni li pa fè sèvis pou vye zidòl moun pèp Izrayèl yo ap sèvi. Li pa al dèyè madanm lòt moun pèp Izrayèl parèy li, li pa kouche ak fanm ki gen lalin li.

To the mountains not he has eaten and eyes his not he has lifted up to [the] idols of [the] house of Israel and [the] wife of neighbor his not he has defiled and to a woman menstruation not he drew near.

7 Li pa pwofite sou pesonn, li pa bay pesonn koutba, li renmèt garanti moun te ba li pou lajan li prete yo. Li bay moun ki grangou yo manje, li bay moun ki toutouni yo rad pou mete sou yo.

And anyone not he oppressed pledge his a debt he returned robbery not he robbed food his to [the] hungry he gave and [the] naked he covered clothing.

8 Li pa bay ponya, li pa pran enterè sou lajan li prete. Li refize mete men l' nan sa ki mal. Lè de moun gen kont, li mete verite a kote li ye.

For interest not he lent and interest not he took from injustice he turned away hand his justice of faithfulness he did between a person and a person.

9 Yon moun konsa mache sou lòd mwen bay, li fè tou sa mwen mande pou moun fè. Li pa janm chache twonpe m'. Se yon moun ki dwat. Se sèten l'ap viv. Se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, ki di sa.

In statutes my he walked and judgments my he has kept by doing faithfulness [is] righteous he certainly he will live [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.

10 Si nonm sa a ta rive fè yon pitit ki soti yon lwijanboje, ki renmen mete san moun deyò, epi k'ap mache fè tou sa

And he will father a son violent [who] sheds blood and he will do alas! any one of these [things].

11 papa l' pa janm fè: l'ap manje nan manje yo ofri bay zidòl sou tèt mòn yo, l'ap kouri dèyè madanm lòt moun pèp Izrayèl parèy li,

And he all these [things] not he did for also to the mountains he has eaten and [the] wife of neighbor his he has defiled.

12 l'ap toupizi pòv malere yo ak moun ki nan malsite, l'ap vòlò, li p'ap renmèt garanti moun te ba li pou lajan li te prete yo, l'ap fè sèvis pou zidòl, l'ap fè vye bagay derespektan,

[the] poor And [the] needy he has oppressed robberies he has robbed a pledge not he returned and to the idols he has lifted up eyes his abomination he has done.

13 l'ap bay ponya, li pran enterè pou lajan li prete, yon nonm konsa pa fèt pou viv. Non, li pa gen dwa viv lè li fin fè tout vye bagay derespektan sa yo. Se sèten l'ap mouri. Se li menm k'ap pote chay tou sa li fè.

For interest he has lent and interest he has taken and will he live? not he will live all the abominations these he has done certainly he will be put to death blood his on him it will be.

14 Annou konsidere koulye a ka dezyèm moun sa a ki ta rive fè yon pitit gason. Pitit la wè tout peche papa l' te fè yo. Li wè yo, men li pa fè tankou l'.

And there! he has fathered a child and he has seen all [the] sins of father his which he did and he saw and not he did like them.

15 Li pa al sou tèt mòn yo ofri manje bay zidòl, li derefize fè sèvis pou vye zidòl moun peyi Izrayèl yo. Li respekte madanm lòt moun pèp Izrayèl parèy li,

On the mountains not he has eaten and eyes his not he has lifted up to [the] idols of [the] house of Israel [the] wife of neighbor his not he has defiled.

16 li pa pwofite sou pesonn, li pa kenbe garanti moun te ba li pou lajan li te prete yo. Li pa vòlò pesonn, li bay moun ki grangou manje, li bay moun ki toutouni rad pou yo mete sou yo.

And anyone not he has oppressed a pledge not he has taken as pledge and robbery not he has robbed food his to [the] hungry he has given and [the] naked he has covered clothing.

17 Li refize fè moun mechanste, li pa bay ponya, li pa pran enterè sou lajan li prete moun. Yon moun konsa mache sou lòd mwen bay, li fè tou sa mwen mande pou moun fè. Li p'ap mouri poutèt peche papa l' te fè yo. Sèten l'ap viv.

From [the] poor he has turned away hand his interest and interest not he has taken judgments my he has done in statutes my he has walked he not he will die for [the] iniquity of father his certainly he will live.

18 Papa l' pou bò pa l' te fè mechanste, li vòlò frè parèy li, li pa janm fè byen pou pesonn. Se li menm k'ap mouri poutèt tou sa li fè ki mal.

Father his for he has extorted extortion he has robbed robbery of a brother and [that] which not [was] good he has done in among people his and there! he will die for iniquity his.

19 N'a mande nan kè nou: Poukisa yon pitit pa peye pou peche papa li te fè a? Men repons la. Se paske pitit la te mache dwat devan Bondye, li fè sa li te dwe fè. Li mache sou lòd mwen bay, li fè tou sa mwen mande pou moun fè, kifè l'ap viv.

And you say why? not has he borne the child in [the] iniquity of the parent and the child justice and righteousness he has done all statutes my he has kept and he has done them certainly he will live.

20 Moun ki fè peche, se yo k'ap mouri. Yon pitit p'ap peye pou peche papa l' te fè, ni yon papa p'ap peye pou peche pitit li fè. Moun ki mache dwat va jwenn rekonpans pou dwat yo te mache dwat la. Mechan an va peye pou mechanste li fè a.

The soul which sins it it will die a child not he will bear - in [the] iniquity of the parent and a parent not he will bear in [the] iniquity of the child [the] righteousness of the righteous [person] on him it will be and [the] wickedness of (the wicked [person] *QK) on him it will be.

21 Si mechan an sispann fè peche li te konn fè yo pou li mache dapre lòd mwen yo, si li fè sa ki dwat ak sa ki byen, li p'ap mouri. Sèten l'ap viv.

And the wicked [person] if he will turn away from all (sins his *QK) which he has done and he will keep all statutes my and he will do justice and righteousness certainly he will live not he will die.

22 Yo p'ap chonje tout peche li te konn fè yo. L'ap viv paske li te fè sa ki dwat.

All transgressions his which he has done not they will be remembered to him for righteousness his which he has done he will live.

23 Eske nou kwè mwen ta renmen wè mechan an mouri? Se Seyè sèl Mèt la ki mande sa. Non! Mwen ta pito wè l' sispann fè sa ki mal pou l' ka viv.

¿ Really do I take pleasure in [the] death of [the] wicked [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh ¿ not when turning back he from ways his and he will live.

24 Men, si yon moun ki mache dwat sispann fè sa ki byen pou li lage kò l' nan fè sa ki mal ak tout lòt vye bagay derespektan mechan yo ap fè a, nan kondisyon sa a èske li ka viv toujou? Non. Yo p'ap chonje tout byen li te konn fè yo. L'ap mouri paske li pa t' kenbe pawòl li, paske li fè sa ki mal.

And when turns away [the] righteous from righteousness his and he will do injustice according to all the abominations which he did the wicked [person] he will do and will he live? all (righteousness his *QK) which he did not they will be remembered for unfaithfulness his which he has acted unfaithfully and for sin his which he has sinned for them he will die.

25 Men, n'a di n'a kè nou: Jan Seyè a ap aji la a pa bon non. Enben, nou menm moun pèp Izrayèl yo, koute. Nou di jan m' aji a pa bon. Nou pa kwè se jan nou menm n'ap aji a ki pa bon pito?

And you say not it is correct [the] way of [the] Lord listen please O house of Israel ¿ way my not is it correct ¿ not ways your not are they correct.

26 Lè yon moun ki t'ap mache dwat sispann fè sa ki byen pou li lage kò l' nan fè sa ki mal, l'ap mouri. Se poutèt sa li fè ki mal la l'ap mouri.

When turns away [the] righteous from righteousness his and he will do injustice and he will die on them for injustice his which he has done he will die.

27 Lè mechan an sispann fè peche li konn fè yo pou li fè sa ki dwat ak sa ki byen, l'ap sove lavi l'.

And when turns away [the] wicked from wickedness his which he has done and he did justice and righteousness he life his he will preserve alive.

28 Li rekonèt sa li t'ap fè a te mal, li sispann fè l'. Sèten li p'ap mouri. Se viv pou li viv.

And he saw (and he turned away *Qk) from all transgressions his which he had done certainly he will live not he will die.

29 Men, moun peyi Izrayèl yo ap plede di: Jan Seyè a ap aji a pa bon. Nou kwè se jan m'ap aji a ki pa bon vre? Eske se pa jan nou menm n'ap aji a ki pa bon pito?

And they say [the] house of Israel not it is correct [the] way of [the] Lord ¿ ways my not are they correct O house of Israel ¿ not ways your not is it correct.

30 Se poutèt sa, men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la ap di moun peyi Izrayèl yo: M'ap jije chak moun dapre sa yo fè. Tounen vin jwenn mwen, sispann fè sa ki mal, pa kite peche nou yo lakòz nou mouri.

Therefore everyone according to ways his I will judge you O house of Israel [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh turn back and turn away from all transgressions your and not it will become for you a stumbling block iniquity.

31 Vire do bay tout vye peche nou te konn fè yo. Chanje kè nou, chanje lide nou. Poukisa atò, nou menm moun pèp Izrayèl yo, pou n'ap chache lanmò konsa?

Throw away from with you all transgressions your which you have transgressed by them and make for yourselves a heart new and a spirit new and why? will you die O house of Israel.

32 Mwen pa ta renmen wè pesonn mouri. Se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, ki di sa. Tounen vin jwenn mwen epi n'a viv.

For not I take pleasure in [the] death of the [one who] dies [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh and turn away and live.
