ΙΕΖΕΚΙΗΛ - Ezechiele - Ezekiel 18

LXX	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 και εγενετο λογος κυριου προς με λεγων	1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: What is the meaning?
2 υιε ανθρωπου τι υμιν η παραβολη αυτη εν τοις υιοις ισραηλ λεγοντες οι πατερες εφαγον ομφακα και οι οδοντες των τεκνων εγομφιασαν	2 That you use among you this parable as a proverb in the land of Israel, saying: The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the teeth of the children are set on edge.
3 ζω εγω λεγει κυριος εαν γενηται ετι λεγομενη η παραβολη αυτη εν τω ισραηλ	3 As I live, saith the Lord God, this parable shall be no more to you a proverb in Israel.
4 οτι πασαι αι ψυχαι εμαι εισιν ον τροπον η ψυχη του πατρος ουτως και η ψυχη του υιου εμαι εισιν η ψυχη η αμαρτανουσα αυτη αποθανειται	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, the same shall die.
5 ο δε ανθρωπος ος εσται δικαιος ο ποιων κριμα και δικαιοσυνην	5 And if a man be just, and do judgment and justice,
6 επι των ορεων ου φαγεται και τους οφθαλμους αυτου ου μη επαρη προς τα ενθυμηματα οικου ισραηλ και την γυναικα του πλησιον αυτου ου μη μιανη και προς γυναικα εν αφεδρω ουσαν ου προσεγγιει	6 And hath not eaten upon the mountains, nor lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel: and hath not defiled his neighbour's wife, nor come near to a menstruous woman:
7 και ανθρωπον ου μη καταδυναστευση ενεχυρασμον οφειλοντος αποδωσει και αρπαγμα ουχ αρπαται τον αρτον αυτου τω πεινωντι δωσει και γυμνον περιβαλει	7 And hath not wronged any man: but hath restored the pledge to the debtor, hath taken nothing away by violence: hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment:
8 και το αργυριον αυτου επι τοκω ου δωσει και πλεονασμον ου λημψεται και εξ αδικιας αποστρεψει την χειρα αυτου κριμα δικαιον ποιησει ανα μεσον ανδρος και ανα μεσον του πλησιον αυτου	8 Hath not lent upon usury, nor taken any increase: hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity, and hath executed true judgment between man and man:
9 και τοις προσταγμασιν μου πεπορευται και τα δικαιωματα μου πεφυλακται του ποιησαι αυτα δικαιος ουτος εστιν ζωη ζησεται λεγει κυριος	9 Hath walked in my commandments, and kept my judgments, to do truth: he is just, he shall surely live, saith the Lord God.
10 και εαν γεννηση υιον λοιμον εκχεοντα αιμα και ποιουντα αμαρτηματα	10 And if he beget a son that is a robber, a shedder of blood, and that hath done some one of these things:
11 εν τη οδω του πατρος αυτου του δικαιου ουκ επορευθη αλλα και επι των ορεων εφαγεν και την γυναικα του πλησιον αυτου εμιανεν	11 Though he doth not all these things, but that eateth upon the mountains, and that defileth his neighbour's wife:
12 και πτωχον και πενητα κατεδυναστευσεν και αρπαγμα ηρπασεν και ενεχυρασμον ουκ απεδωκεν και εις τα ειδωλα εθετο τους οφθαλμους αυτου ανομιαν πεποιηκεν	12 That grieveth the needy and the poor, that taketh away by violence, that restoreth not the pledge, and that lifteth up his eyes to idols, that committeth abomination:
13 μετα τοκου εδωκε και πλεονασμον ελαβεν ουτος ζωη ου ζησεται πασας τας ανομιας ταυτας εποιησεν θανατω θανατωθησεται το αιμα αυτου επ' αυτον εσται	13 That giveth upon usury, and that taketh an increase: shall such a one live? he shall not live. Seeing he hath done all these detestable things, he shall surely die, his blood shall be upon him.
14 εαν δε γεννηση υιον και ιδη πασας τας αμαρτιας του πατρος αυτου ας εποιησεν και φοβηθη και μη ποιηση κατα ταυτας	14 But if he beget a son, who, seeing all his father's sine, which he hath done, is afraid, and shall not do the like to them :
15 επι των ορεων ου βεβρωκεν και τους οφθαλμους αυτου ουκ εθετο εις τα ενθυμηματα οικου ισραηλ και την γυναικα του πλησιον αυτου ουκ εμιανεν	15 That hath not eaten upon the mountains, nor lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, and hath not defiled his neighbour's wife:
16 και ανθρωπον ου κατεδυναστευσεν και ενεχυρασμον ουκ ενεχυρασεν και αρπαγμα ουχ ηρπασεν τον αρτον αυτου τω πεινωντι εδωκεν και γυμνον περιεβαλεν	16 And hath not grieved any man, nor withholden the pledge, nor taken away with violence, but hath given his bread to the hungry, and covered the naked with a garment:
17 και απ' αδικιας απεστρεψε την χειρα αυτου τοκον ουδε πλεονασμον ουκ ελαβεν δικαιοσυνην εποιησεν και εν τοις προσταγμασιν μου επορευθη ου τελευτησει εν αδικιαις πατρος αυτου ζωη ζησεται	17 That hath turned away his hand from injuring the poor, hath not taken usury and increase, but hath executed my judgments, and hath walked in my commandments: this man shall not die for the iniquity of his father, but living he shall live.
18 ο δε πατηρ αυτου εαν θλιψει θλιψη και αρπαση αρπαγμα εναντια εποιησεν εν μεσω του λαου μου και αποθανειται εν τη αδικια αυτου	18 As for his father, because he oppressed and offered violence to his brother, and wrought evil in the midst of his people, behold he is dead in his own iniquity.
19 και ερειτε τι οτι ουκ ελαβεν την αδικιαν ο υιος του πατρος αυτου οτι ο υιος δικαιοσυνην και ελεος εποιησεν παντα τα νομιμα μου συνετηρησεν και εποιησεν αυτα ζωη ζησεται	19 And you say: Why hath not the son borne the iniquity of his father? Verily, because the son hath wrought judgment and justice, hath kept all my commandments, and done them, living, he shall live.
20 η δε ψυχη η αμαρτανουσα αποθανειται ο δε υιος ου λημψεται την αδικιαν του πατρος αυτου ουδε ο πατηρ λημψεται την αδικιαν του υιου αυτου δικαιοσυνη δικαιου επ' αυτον εσται και ανομια ανομου επ' αυτον εσται	20 The soul that sinneth, the same shall die: the son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, and the father shall not bear the iniquity of the son: the justice of the just shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
21 και ο ανομος εαν αποστρεψη εκ πασων των ανομιων αυτου ων εποιησεν και φυλαξηται πασας τας εντολας μου και ποιηση δικαιοσυνην και ελεος ζωη ζησεται ου μη αποθανη	21 But if the wicked do penance for all his sins which he hath committed, and keep all my commandments, and do judgment, and justice, living he shall live, and shall not die.
22 παντα τα παραπτωματα αυτου οσα εποιησεν ου μνησθησεται εν τη δικαιοσυνη αυτου η εποιησεν ζησεται	22 I will not remember all his iniquities that he hath done: in his justice which he hath wrought, he shall live.
23 μη θελησει θελησω τον θανατον του ανομου λεγει κυριος ως το αποστρεψαι αυτον εκ της οδου της πονηρας και ζην αυτον	23 Is it my will that a sinner should die, saith the Lord God, and not that he should be converted from his ways, and live?
24 εν δε τω αποστρεψαι δικαιον εκ της δικαιοσυνης αυτου και ποιηση αδικιαν κατα πασας τας ανομιας ας εποιησεν ο ανομος πασαι αι δικαιοσυναι αυτου ας εποιησεν ου μη μνησθωσιν εν τω παραπτωματι αυτου ω παρεπεσεν και εν ταις αμαρτιαις αυτου αις ημαρτεν εν αυταις αποθανειται	24 But if the just man turn himself away from his justice, and do iniquity according to all the abominations which the wicked man useth to work, shall he live? all his justices which he hath done, shall not be remembered: in the prevarication, by which he hath prevaricated, and in his sin, which he hath committed, in them he shall die.
25 και ειπατε ου κατευθυνει η οδος κυριου ακουσατε δη πας οικος ισραηλ μη η οδος μου ου κατευθυνει ουχι η οδος υμων ου κατευθυνει	25 And you have said: The way of the Lord is not right. Hear ye, therefore, O house of Israel: Is it my way that is not right, and are not rather your ways perverse?
26 εν τω αποστρεψαι τον δικαιον εκ της δικαιοσυνης αυτου και ποιηση παραπτωμα και αποθανη εν τω παραπτωματι ω εποιησεν εν αυτω αποθανειται	26 For when the just turneth himself away from his justice, and committeth iniquity, he shall die therein: in the injustice that he hath wrought he shall die.
27 και εν τω αποστρεψαι ανομον απο της ανομιας αυτου ης εποιησεν και ποιηση κριμα και δικαιοσυνην ουτος την ψυχην αυτου εφυλαξεν	27 And when the wicked turneth himself away from his wickedness, which he hath wrought, and doeth judgment, and justice: he shall save his soul alive.
28 και απεστρεψεν εκ πασων των ασεβειων αυτου ων εποιησεν ζωη ζησεται ου μη αποθανη	28 Because he considereth and turneth away himself from all his iniquities which he hath wrought, he shall surely live, and not die.
29 και λεγουσιν ο οικος του ισραηλ ου κατορθοι η οδος κυριου μη η οδος μου ου κατορθοι οικος ισραηλ ουχι η οδος υμων ου κατορθοι	29 And the children of Israel say: The way of the Lord is not right. Are not my ways right, O house of Israel, and are not rather your ways perverse?
30 εκαστον κατα την οδον αυτου κρινω υμας οικος ισραηλ λεγει κυριος επιστραφητε και αποστρεψατε εκ πασων των ασεβειων υμων και ουκ εσονται υμιν εις κολασιν αδικιας	30 Therefore will I judge every man according to his ways, O house of Israel, saith the Lord God. Be converted, and do penance for all your iniquities: and iniquity shall not be your ruin.
31 απορριψατε απο εαυτων πασας τας ασεβειας υμων ας ησεβησατε εις εμε και ποιησατε εαυτοις καρδιαν καινην και πνευμα καινον και ινα τι αποθνησκετε οικος ισραηλ	31 Cast away from you all your transgressions, by which you have transgressed, and make to yourselves a new heart, and a new spirit: and why will you die, O house of Israel?
32 διοτι ου θελω τον θανατον του αποθνησκοντος λεγει κυριος	32 For I desire not the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord God, return ye and live.
