Jezekiel 18
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
BAWIPA e lawk teh kai koe bout a pha teh,
2 Son of man, what mean you 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?
Isarel ram kong dawkvah hete cingthuilawk a hno awh lahun e hah bangmaw a ngainae, a napanaw ni misur paw kathut e a ca awh teh a canaw e a hâ a kip, tie hah.
3 [As] I live, says the Lord, surely this parable shall no more be spoken in Israel.
Kai ka hring e patetlah Isarel kong dawkvah, hete cingthuilawk hah hno e lah awm mahoeh toe, telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei.
4 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.
Khenhaw! hringnae pueng kaie seng lah doeh ao. Na pa hringnae kaie lah ao e patetlah a capa hringnae hai kaie lah ao. Yonnae ka sak pueng hah a due han.
5 But the man who shall be just, who executes judgment and righteousness,
Hatei, tami lungthin lan pawiteh, kalan e hno, kamsoum e hno hah sak pawiteh,
6 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 near to her that is removed,
Mon dawk hai catnet laipalah, Isarel imthung meikaphawk koe lahai kangvawi laipalah, a imri e a yu hai kamhnawng sin laipalah, kampheng lahun e napui hai hnai laipalah,
7 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;
apie lathueng hai yonnae sak laipalah, laibakung ni a hung e lat laipalah, ayâ e hno thama lah lawm laipalah, von ka hlam e tami rawca ka poe e caici lah kaawm e khohna ka poe,
8 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,
apung ka cat hoeh e, tangka ka cawi hoeh e, yon sak hanelah kâcakuep e hoi, tami hoi tami rahak kalancalah lawk ka ceng e,
9 and has walked in my commandments and kept mine ordinances, to do them; he is righteous, he shall surely live, says the Lord.
kaie phunglawknaw tarawi teh kalancalah sak e lahoi ka lawkcengnae naw tarawi pawiteh, tamikalan lah ao teh, a hring roeroe han telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei.
10 And if he beget a mischievous son, shedding blood and committing sins,
Hatei, ka parawt e capa hah, a khe teh, thi kapalawngkung lah ao teh, hote hno pueng a sak teh,
11 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,
A sak hane law sak laipalah, mon dawkvah a canei teh a imri napui hah a kamhnawng sin teh,
12 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,
ka roedeng ka voutthoup pacekpahlek laihoi, a hnopai thama lah lawpnae, meikaphawk khet lahoi panuettho e saksaknae,
13 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.
apung ka cat, tangka kacawi e, lah awm pawiteh, a hring han na maw. Hring roeroe mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hete panuettho e hno pueng hah a sak. A due roeroe han, a due hane kamcu yonnae a tawn.
14 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,
Khenhaw! a capa hah khe boilah, a na pa ni a sak e yonnae pueng hah a hmu toteh, a taki teh haw patetlah sak van hoeh nahan,
15 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,
mon dawkvah, catnet laipalah, Isarel imthungnaw e meikaphawk hah a hmalah ka khen hoeh e, a imri napui hah kamhnawng sin hoeh e,
16 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,
apie lathueng hai yonnae ka sak hoeh e, hung e hno ka lat hoeh e, apihai ka pacekpahlek hoeh e, von ka hlam e hah ca hane ka poe e, caici lah kaawm e khohna ka poe e,
17 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.
ka roedeng e tami hloutnae ka poe, apung ka cat hoeh ni teh, ka phunglam tarawi pawiteh, a na pa a yonnae kecu dawk dout mahoeh, a hring roeroe han.
18 But if his father grievously afflict, or plunder, he has wrought enmity in the midst of my people, and shall die in his iniquity.
A na pa teh amae hmaunawngha boutbout pacekpahlek pawiteh, a hnopai thama lahoi lawpnae, amae miphunnaw dawk kahawihoehe hno a sak e yonnae kecu dawk a due han.
19 But you 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.
Hateiteh, bangkongmaw a capa ni a na pa a yonnae hah a khang hoeh han, ouk na ti awh. Capa ni kâlawk a tarawi teh lannae a sak teh ka phunglam pueng hoi pâkuem lah tarawi pawiteh, a hring roeroe han.
20 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.
Yonnae ka sak e teh a due han, a na pa ni a na pa yonnae dawk khang mahoeh. A na pa ni hai capa yonnae dawk khang mahoeh. Tami kalan a lannae aphu teh, ama ni ama ni a coe vaiteh, tamikayon a yonnae phu teh a ma a khang han.
21 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.
Hateiteh, tamikayon ni a sak e yonnae pueng a ceitakhai teh, kaie phunglawknaw a pâkuem teh, kâlawk hah tarawi laihoi, lannae sak pawiteh, a hring roeroe han, dout mahoeh.
22 None of his trespasses which he has committed shall be remembers: in his righteousness which he has done he shall live.
Kâtapoenae pâkuem pouh e lah awm mahoeh, a sak tangcoung e a lannae lahoi a hring han.
23 Shall I at all desire death of the sinner, says the Lord, as I [desire] that he should turn from [his] evil way, and live?
Tamikayon a duenae dawkvah, lunghawinae katawnnaw, a lamthungnaw ka kamlang takhai teh, hring laipalah teh, telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei.
24 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.
Hateiteh, tamikalan ni a lannae a kamlang takhai teh, yonnae sak pawiteh, tamikayon ni a sak e patetlah panuettho e hno a sak toteh, a hring han na ou. a sak e lannae hah panue pouh e lah awm hoeh vaiteh, kâlawk tapoenae roeroe dawkvah, yonnae a sak dawk roeroe a due han.
25 Yet you 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?
Hateiteh, Bawipa a sak e pou kâvan hoeh ouk na ti awh. Isarel imthungnaw thai awh haw, ka sak e hah pou kâvan nahoehmaw. Na sak awh e law teh kâvan boihoeh nahoehmaw.
26 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.
Tamikalan ni a lannae kamlang takhai lah, payonnae hah sak pawiteh, haw tueng vah a due han, payonnae a sak e dawk a due han.
27 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,
Hothloilah tamikayon ni a sak tangcoung e yonnae hah, kamlang takhai lah kâlawk tarawinae lahoi lannae hah sak pawiteh, a hringnae a rungngang han.
28 and has turned away from all his ungodliness which he has committed: he shall surely live, he shall not die.
A lung a ang teh ka lawk a eknae a sak tangcoung e pueng a kamlang takhai dawkvah, a hringnae roeroe hah dout mahoeh.
29 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?
Hateiteh Isarel imthung ni, BAWIPA ni a sak e hah kâvan boihoeh ati awh. Oe Isarel imthungnaw, ka tawksaknae be a kâvan nahoehmaw. Nangmae na tawksak e law teh a kâvan boi yaw maw.
30 I will judge you, O house of Israel, says 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.
Hatdawkvah Oe Isarel imthungnaw, tami pueng nangmouh na sak awh e patetlah hoi lawk na ceng awh han telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei. Kamlang awh nateh, kâ na tapoenae pueng kamlang takhai awh. Hottelah pawiteh, na yonnae hah na rawpnae lah awm mahoeh.
31 Cast away from yourselves all your ungodliness wherein you have sinned against me; and make to yourselves a new heart and a new spirit: for why should you die, O house of Israel?
Kâ na tapoenae pueng, kâlawk na ek tangcoung e be tâkhawng awh nateh, lungthin katha hoi muitha katha hoi kamthoup awh. Oe Isarel imthungnaw, bangkongmaw na due awh han.
32 For I desire not the death of him that dies, says the Lord.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, tami a duenae dawkvah, lunghawinae ka tawn boihoeh telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei. Hatdawkvah, kamlang awh nateh hring awh.
