Ezekiel 18
King James Version
18 The word of the Lord came unto me again, saying,
2 What mean ye, that ye 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 As I live, saith the Lord God, ye shall not have occasion any more to use this proverb in Israel.
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.
5 But if a man be just, and do that which is lawful and right,
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 menstruous woman,
7 And hath not oppressed any, but hath restored to the debtor his pledge, hath spoiled none by violence, hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment;
8 He that hath not given forth upon usury, neither hath taken any increase, that hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity, hath executed true judgment between man and man,
9 Hath walked in my statutes, and hath kept my judgments, to deal truly; he is just, he shall surely live, saith the Lord God.
10 If he beget a son that is a robber, a shedder of blood, and that doeth the like to any one of these things,
11 And that doeth not any of those duties, but even hath eaten upon the mountains, and defiled his neighbour's wife,
12 Hath oppressed the poor and needy, hath spoiled by violence, hath not restored the pledge, and hath lifted up his eyes to the idols, hath committed abomination,
13 Hath given forth upon usury, and hath taken increase: shall he then live? he shall not live: he hath done all these abominations; he shall surely die; his blood shall be upon him.
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,
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,
16 Neither hath oppressed any, hath not withholden the pledge, neither hath spoiled by violence, but hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment,
17 That hath taken off his hand from the poor, that hath not received usury nor increase, hath executed my judgments, hath walked in my statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity of his father, he shall surely live.
18 As for his father, because he cruelly oppressed, spoiled his brother by violence, and did that which is not good among his people, lo, even he shall die in his iniquity.
19 Yet say ye, Why? doth not the son bear the iniquity of the father? 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.
20 The soul that sinneth, it 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 upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
21 But if the wicked will 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.
22 All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live.
23 Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord God: and not that he should return from his ways, and live?
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? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die.
25 Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear now, O house of Israel; Is not my way equal? are not your ways unequal?
26 When a righteous man turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and dieth in them; for his iniquity that he hath done shall he die.
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.
28 Because he considereth, and turneth away from all his transgressions that he hath committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
29 Yet saith the house of Israel, The way of the Lord is not equal. O house of Israel, are not my ways equal? are not your ways unequal?
30 Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord God. Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.
31 Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
32 For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord God: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.

Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Mamamatay ang Nagkasala
18 Sinabi sa akin ng Panginoon, 2 “Ano ang ibig ninyong sabihin sa kasabihang ito sa Israel, ‘Ang mga magulang ay kumain ng maasim na ubas at ang asim nitoʼy matitikman pati ng kanilang mga anak?’
3 “Ako, ang Panginoong Dios na buhay, ay sumusumpang hindi nʼyo na babanggitin ang kasabihang ito sa Israel. 4 Makinig kayo! Akin ang lahat ng may buhay, maging ang buhay ng mga magulang o buhay ng mga anak. Ang taong nagkasala ang siyang mamamatay. 5 Halimbawa, may isang taong matuwid na ginagawa kung ano ang tama. 6 Hindi siya sumasamba sa mga dios-diosan ng Israel o kumakain ng mga inihandog sa mga dios-diosang ito sa mga sambahan sa mga bundok. Hindi siya sumisiping sa asawa ng iba o sa babaeng may buwanang dalaw. 7 Hindi siya nang-aapi at ibinabalik niya ang mga isinangla ng mga nangungutang sa kanya. Hindi siya nagnanakaw, pinapakain niya ang mga nagugutom at binibigyan ng damit ang mga walang damit. 8 Hindi siya nagpapatubo kapag nagpapahiram ng pera. Hindi rin siya gumagawa ng masama at wala siyang kinakampihan sa kanyang paghatol. 9 Sinusunod niyang mabuti ang mga utos koʼt mga tuntunin. Ang taong ganito ay matuwid at patuloy na mabubuhay. Ako, ang Panginoong Dios, ang nagsasabi nito.
10 “Pero kung may anak siyang lalaki na malupit at mamamatay-tao, o gumagawa ng sumusunod na masasamang gawain 11 na hindi ginawa ng kanyang ama: Kumakain siya ng mga pagkaing inihandog sa mga dios-diosan sa mga sambahan sa bundok at sumisiping sa asawa ng iba. 12 Nang-aapi ng mahihirap at nangangailangan. Nagnanakaw at hindi isinasauli ang isinangla ng mga nangutang sa kanya. Sumasamba sa mga dios-diosan, gumagawa ng mga kasuklam-suklam na bagay, 13 at nagpapatubo sa mga may utang sa kanya. Maliligtas kaya siya? Hindi! Mamamatay siya dahil sa mga ginawa niyang kasuklam-suklam at walang ibang dapat sisihin sa kamatayan niya kundi siya.
14 “Kung ang masamang taong ito ay may anak na lalaki at nakita niya ang lahat ng masamang ginawa ng kanyang ama pero hindi niya ito ginaya, 15 hindi siya sumamba sa mga dios-diosan ng Israel o kumain ng mga pagkaing inihandog sa mga dios-diosang ito sa mga sambahan sa bundok, hindi siya sumisiping sa hindi niya asawa, 16 hindi siya nang-aapi at hindi niya inaangkin ang mga garantiya ng mga umutang sa kanya, hindi siya nagnanakaw, pinapakain niya ang mga nagugutom at binibigyan ng damit ang mga walang damit, 17 hindi siya gumagawa ng masama at hindi nagpapatubo sa may utang sa kanya, tinutupad niya ang mga utos koʼt mga tuntunin, ang taong itoʼy hindi mamamatay dahil sa kasalanan ng kanyang ama. Patuloy siyang mabubuhay. 18 Pero ang kanyang ama ay mamamatay dahil mukha siyang pera, magnanakaw at gumagawa ng masama sa kanyang mga kababayan.
19 “Pero maaaring itanong ninyo kung bakit hindi dapat parusahan ang anak dahil sa kasalanan ng kanyang ama. Kung ang anak ay matuwid, gumagawa ng tama at sinusunod ang mga tuntunin ko, patuloy siyang mabubuhay. 20 Ang taong nagkasala ang siyang dapat mamatay. Hindi dapat parusahan ang anak dahil sa kasalanan ng kanyang ama at ang ama naman ay hindi dapat parusahan dahil sa kasalanan ng kanyang anak. Ang taong matuwid ay gagantimpalaan sa ginawa niyang kabutihan at ang taong masama ay parurusahan dahil sa ginawa niyang kasamaan.
21 “Ngunit kung ang taong masama ay magsisi sa lahat ng kasalanan niya at sumunod sa aking mga tuntunin at gumawa ng matuwid at tama, hindi siya mamamatay kundi patuloy na mabubuhay. 22 Hindi na siya mananagot sa lahat ng nagawa niyang kasalanan at dahil sa ginawa niyang matuwid, patuloy siyang mabubuhay. 23 Ako, ang Panginoong Dios ay hindi natutuwa kapag namamatay ang masama. Masaya ako kapag nagsisi siya at patuloy na mabuhay.
24 “Pero kung ang taong matuwid ay tumigil sa paggawa ng matuwid, nagpakasama at gumawa pa ng kasuklam-suklam gaya ng ginagawa ng mga taong masama, patuloy pa rin kaya siyang mabubuhay? Siyempre hindi! Kalilimutan na ang mga ginawa niyang matuwid. At dahil sa pagtataksil niya sa akin at sa mga ginawa niyang kasalanan, mamamatay siya.
25 “Pero baka naman sabihin ninyo, ‘Hindi tama ang ginagawa ng Panginoon.’ Makinig kayo, kayong mga mamamayan ng Israel! Ang ginagawa ko ba ang hindi tama o ang ginagawa ninyo ang hindi tama? 26 Kapag ang taong matuwid ay tumigil sa paggawa ng matuwid at magpakasama, mamamatay siya dahil sa kanyang kasalanan. 27 Pero kung ang taong masama ay tumigil sa paggawa ng masama at gumawa ng matuwid at tama, maililigtas niya ang buhay niya. 28 Dahil inamin niya ang kasalanan niya at pinagsisihan ito, hindi siya mamamatay at patuloy na mabubuhay. 29 Ngunit baka sabihin ninyo mamamayan ng Israel, ‘Hindi tama ang ginagawa ng Panginoon!’ Mga mamamayan ng Israel, ang mga ginagawa ko ba ang hindi tama o ang ginagawa ninyo?”
30 “Kaya sinasabi ko sa inyo, mga mamamayan ng Israel, ako, ang Panginoong Dios, ako ang hahatol sa bawat isa sa inyo ayon sa inyong mga ginawa. Kaya, magsisi na kayo! Talikuran na ninyo ang lahat ng inyong kasalanan para hindi kayo mapahamak. 31 Mga mamamayan ng Israel, bakit gusto ninyong mamatay? Tumigil na kayo sa paggawa ng kasalanan at baguhin na ang inyong pamumuhay. 32 Hindi ako natutuwa kapag may namamatay. Kaya magsisi na kayo para kayoʼy mabuhay! Ako, ang Panginoong Dios, ang nagsasabi nito.”

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)
