9 (F)Agoberera ebiragiro byange,
n’akuuma amateeka gange n’obwesigwa,
oyo ye muntu omutuukirivu
era aliba mulamu,”
bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
10 (G)“Bw’aba n’omwana omulalu, ayiwa omusaayi, oba akola ebifaanana ng’ebyo, 11 newaakubadde nga kitaawe ebyo tabikola:
“N’alya mu masabo agali ku nsozi,
n’ayenda ku mukazi wa muliraanwa we,
12 (H)n’anyigiriza omwavu n’omunaku,
n’okubba n’abba,
n’atasasula kye yeeyama,
n’asinza bakatonda abalala,
n’akola eby’ekivve,
13 (I)n’awola ng’asuubira amagoba, oba n’okutwala ensimbi ezisukka mu ezo ze yawola;
omuntu ng’oyo aliba mulamu? Taliba mulamu. Kubanga akoze ebintu ebyo byonna eby’ekivve, kyaliva attibwa, n’omusaayi gwe guliba ku mutwe gwe ye.
14 (J)“Naye bw’aba n’omuzzukulu, alaba ebibi byonna kitaawe by’akola, n’atakola bya ngeri eyo;
15 “N’atalya mu masabo agali ku nsozi
newaakubadde okusinza bakatonda abalala ab’ennyumba ya Isirayiri,
n’atayenda na mukazi wa muliraanwa we,
16 (K)atanyigiriza muntu yenna
newaakubadde okusaba amagoba ku bbanja lye yawola,
atabba, naye agabira emmere abayala
n’abali obwereere
n’abambaza.
17 Yeekuuma obutakola kibi,
n’atalya magoba ku bbanja newaakubadde okutwala ensimbi ezisukiridde,
era akuuma amateeka gange n’agoberera n’ebiragiro byange.
Talifa olw’ebibi bya kitaawe, naye aliba mulamu. 18 Naye kitaawe alifa olw’ebibi bye ye kubanga yalyazaamanya, n’anyaga muliraanwa we, n’akola ebitaali birungi mu bantu banne.
19 (L)“Mubuuza nti, ‘Lwaki omwana tabonaabona olw’ebibi bya kitaawe?’ Omwana bw’aba akoze eby’ensonga era ebituufu, ng’agoberedde ebiragiro byange, aliba mulamu. 20 (M)Emmeeme eyonoona ye erifa. Omwana talibonaabona olw’ebibi bya kitaawe, so ne kitaawe talibonaabona olw’ebibi eby’omwana we. Obutuukirivu bw’omuntu omutuukirivu bulibalirwa ye, n’obutali butuukirivu bw’oyo atali mutuukirivu bulibalirwa ye.
21 (N)“Naye omuntu atali mutuukirivu bw’alikyuka n’alekeraawo okukola ebibi byonna, n’akuuma ebiragiro byange byonna n’akola eby’ensonga era ebituufu, aliba mulamu, talifa. 22 (O)Tewaliba kyonoono na kimu ku ebyo bye baakola ebirijjukirwa, naye olw’eby’obutuukirivu bye baliba bakoze, baliba balamu. 23 (P)Mulowooza nga nsanyukira okufa kw’atali mutuukirivu? Bw’ayogera Mukama. Sisinga kusanyuka nnyo bwe ndaba ng’akyuse okuva mu ngeri ze n’aba omulamu?
24 (Q)“Naye omuntu omutuukirivu bw’alekeraawo okukola eby’obutuukirivu, n’akola eby’ekivve bye bimu n’eby’omuntu atali mutuukirivu, aliba mulamu? Tewaliba ne kimu ku ebyo eby’obutuukirivu bye yakola, ebirijjukirwa: Olw’obutaba mwesigwa aliba n’omusango, era n’olw’ebibi bye yakola, alifa.
25 (R)“Mugamba nti, ‘Mukama si mwenkanya.’ Kaakano muwulire mwe ennyumba ya Isirayiri, enkola yange y’etali ya bwenkanya oba mmwe mutali benkanya? 26 Omuntu omutuukirivu bw’aleka okukola ebikolwa bye eby’obutuukirivu n’akola ebibi, mw’alifiira, kubanga ebibi by’akoze bye birimuleetera okufa. 27 (S)Naye bw’alikyuka okuva mu butali butuukirivu bwe bw’akoze, n’akola eby’ensonga era ebituufu, alirokola obulamu bwe. 28 Era bw’alirowooza ku bibi byonna by’akoze, n’akyuka n’alekeraawo okubikola, mazima ddala aliba mulamu, talifa. 29 Naye oluvannyuma ennyumba ya Isirayiri ne mwogera nti, ‘Ekkubo lya Mukama si lya bwenkanya.’ Mmwe ennyumba ya Isirayiri, engeri zange ze zitali za bwenkanya? Engeri zammwe si ze zitali za bwenkanya?
30 (T)“Kyendiva mbasalira omusango, mmwe ennyumba ya Isirayiri, buli muntu ng’ebikolwa byammwe bwe biri, bw’ayogera Mukama. Mwenenye, muleke ebikolwa ebitali bya butuukirivu, oba nga ssi weewaawo ebibi byammwe biribaleetera okuzikirira. 31 (U)Mweggyeeko ebikolwa byonna ebitali bya butuukirivu, bye mukoze, mufune omutima omuggya n’omwoyo omuggya. Kiki ekibaleetera okufa, mmwe ennyumba ya Isirayiri? 32 (V)Sisanyukira kufa kwa muntu yenna, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda. Mwenenye mube balamu.”

Ezekiel 18
New International Version
The One Who Sins Will Die
18 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 “What do you people mean by quoting this proverb about the land of Israel:
“‘The parents eat sour grapes,
and the children’s teeth are set on edge’?(A)
3 “As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, you will no longer quote this proverb(B) in Israel. 4 For everyone belongs to me, the parent as well as the child—both alike belong to me. The one who sins(C) is the one who will die.(D)
5 “Suppose there is a righteous man
who does what is just and right.
6 He does not eat at the mountain(E) shrines
or look to the idols(F) of Israel.
He does not defile his neighbor’s wife
or have sexual relations with a woman during her period.(G)
7 He does not oppress(H) anyone,
but returns what he took in pledge(I) for a loan.
He does not commit robbery(J)
but gives his food to the hungry(K)
and provides clothing for the naked.(L)
8 He does not lend to them at interest
or take a profit from them.(M)
He withholds his hand from doing wrong
and judges fairly(N) between two parties.
9 He follows my decrees(O)
and faithfully keeps my laws.
That man is righteous;(P)
he will surely live,(Q)
declares the Sovereign Lord.
10 “Suppose he has a violent son, who sheds blood(R) or does any of these other things[a] 11 (though the father has done none of them):
“He eats at the mountain shrines.(S)
He defiles his neighbor’s wife.
12 He oppresses the poor(T) and needy.
He commits robbery.
He does not return what he took in pledge.(U)
He looks to the idols.
He does detestable things.(V)
13 He lends at interest and takes a profit.(W)
Will such a man live? He will not! Because he has done all these detestable things, he is to be put to death; his blood will be on his own head.(X)
14 “But suppose this son has a son who sees all the sins his father commits, and though he sees them, he does not do such things:(Y)
15 “He does not eat at the mountain shrines(Z)
or look to the idols(AA) of Israel.
He does not defile his neighbor’s wife.
16 He does not oppress anyone
or require a pledge for a loan.
He does not commit robbery
but gives his food to the hungry(AB)
and provides clothing for the naked.(AC)
17 He withholds his hand from mistreating the poor
and takes no interest or profit from them.
He keeps my laws(AD) and follows my decrees.
He will not die for his father’s sin; he will surely live. 18 But his father will die for his own sin, because he practiced extortion, robbed his brother and did what was wrong among his people.
19 “Yet you ask, ‘Why does the son not share the guilt of his father?’ Since the son has done what is just and right and has been careful to keep all my decrees, he will surely live.(AE) 20 The one who sins is the one who will die.(AF) The child will not share the guilt of the parent, nor will the parent share the guilt of the child. The righteousness of the righteous will be credited to them, and the wickedness of the wicked will be charged against them.(AG)
21 “But if(AH) a wicked person turns away from all the sins they have committed and keeps all my decrees(AI) and does what is just and right, that person will surely live; they will not die.(AJ) 22 None of the offenses they have committed will be remembered against them. Because of the righteous things they have done, they will live.(AK) 23 Do I take any pleasure in the death of the wicked? declares the Sovereign Lord. Rather, am I not pleased(AL) when they turn from their ways and live?(AM)
24 “But if a righteous person turns(AN) from their righteousness and commits sin and does the same detestable things the wicked person does, will they live? None of the righteous things that person has done will be remembered. Because of the unfaithfulness(AO) they are guilty of and because of the sins they have committed, they will die.(AP)
25 “Yet you say, ‘The way of the Lord is not just.’(AQ) Hear, you Israelites: Is my way unjust?(AR) Is it not your ways that are unjust? 26 If a righteous person turns from their righteousness and commits sin, they will die for it; because of the sin they have committed they will die. 27 But if a wicked person turns away from the wickedness they have committed and does what is just and right, they will save their life.(AS) 28 Because they consider all the offenses they have committed and turn away from them, that person will surely live; they will not die.(AT) 29 Yet the Israelites say, ‘The way of the Lord is not just.’ Are my ways unjust, people of Israel? Is it not your ways that are unjust?
30 “Therefore, you Israelites, I will judge each of you according to your own ways, declares the Sovereign Lord. Repent!(AU) Turn away from all your offenses; then sin will not be your downfall.(AV) 31 Rid(AW) yourselves of all the offenses you have committed, and get a new heart(AX) and a new spirit. Why(AY) will you die, people of Israel?(AZ) 32 For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Sovereign Lord. Repent(BA) and live!(BB)
