¹The word of the LORD came unto me again, saying,

¹A stalo sa slovo Hospodinovo ku mne povediac:

²What 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?

²Čo tým chcete, vy, ktorí hovoríte v zemi Izraelovej také príslovie, že vraj otcovia jedli hroznové nedozrelky, a synom stŕply zuby?

³As I live, saith the Lord GOD, ye shall not have occasion any more to use this proverb in Israel.

³Jako že ja žijem, hovorí Pán Hospodin, že nebudete mať viacej ako používať to príslovie v Izraelovi.

⁴Behold, 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.

⁴Hľa, všetky duše sú moje; jako duša otcova tak i duša synova je moja; duša, ktorá hreší, tá zomrie.

⁵But if a man be just, and do that which is lawful and right,

⁵A keby bol niektorý človek spravedlivý a činil by súd a spravedlivosť,

⁶And 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,

⁶na vrchoch by nejedol ani by nepozdvihnul svojich očí k ukydaným bohom domu Izraelovho a ženy svojho blížneho by nepoškvrnil ani by sa nepriblížil k žene v jej nečistote

⁷And 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;

⁷a nikoho by neutiskoval a vrátil by jeho záloh, vzatý za dlh, cudzieho násilne by nevzal a svojho chleba by dával lačnému a priodieval by nahého rúchom;

⁸He that hath not given forth upon usury, neither hath taken any increase, that hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity, hath executed true judgment between man and man,

⁸na úžeru by nedal ani by nevzal úroku, od neprávosti by odvracal svoju ruku a činil by súd pravdy medzi človekom a človekom;

⁹Hath walked in my statutes, and hath kept my judgments, to deal truly; he is just, he shall surely live, saith the Lord GOD.

⁹keby chodil v mojich ustanoveniach a ostríhal by moje súdy činiac pravdu, spravedlivý ten istotne bude žiť, hovorí Pán Hospodin.

¹⁰If he beget a son that is a robber, a shedder of blood, and that doeth the like to any one of these things,

¹⁰Ale keby splodil syna lotra, ktorý by vylieval krv a vykonal by bratovi niektorú z tých vecí,

¹¹And that doeth not any of those duties, but even hath eaten upon the mountains, and defiled his neighbour's wife,

¹¹a tamtoho by nečinil ničoho, ale ešte by aj jedol na vrchoch a poškvrnil by ženu svojho blížneho;

¹²Hath 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,

¹²biedneho a chudobného by utiskoval a bral by násilne cudzie, zálohu by nevrátil a pozdvihol by svoje oči k ukydaným bohom, ohavnosť vykonal;

¹³Hath 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.

¹³keby dával na úžeru a bral by úrok, či azda bude žiť? Nebude žiť! Vykonal všetky tie ohavnosti; istotne zomrie; jeho krv nech je na ňom!

¹⁴Now, lo, if he beget a son, that seeth all his father's sins which he hath done, and considereth, and doeth not such like,

¹⁴A zase hľa, keby niektorý človek splodil syna, ktorý by videl všetky hriechy svojho otca, ktoré spáchal, a vidiac to nečinil by tak;

¹⁵That 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,

¹⁵na vrchoch by nejedol ani by nepozdvihol svojich očí k ukydaným bohom domu Izraelovho, ženy svojho blížneho by nepoškvrnil

¹⁶Neither 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,

¹⁶a neutiskoval by nikoho, zálohu by nezadržal ani by násilne nevzal cudzieho, svojho chleba by dával lačnému a priodial by nahého rúchom;

¹⁷That 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.

¹⁷od biedneho by odvrátil svoju ruku, nevzal by úžery ani úroku, moje súdy by činil a chodil by v mojich ustanoveniach, ten nezomrie pre neprávosť svojho otca; istotne bude žiť.

¹⁸As 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.

¹⁸Jeho otec, pretože krute utláčal, násilne bral cudzie veci bratove a to, čo nie je dobré, robil prostred svojho ľudu, preto hľa, zomrie pre svoju neprávosť.

¹⁹Yet 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.

¹⁹A keby ste riekli: Prečo nenesie syn neprávosti otcovej? Ale syn činil súd a spravedlivosť, ostríhal všetky moje ustanovenia a činil ich; istotne bude žiť!

²⁰The 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.

²⁰Duša, ktorá hreší, tá zomrie. Syn neponesie neprávosti otcovej, ani otec neponesie neprávosti synovej. Spravedlivosť spravedlivého bude na ňom, a tiež i bezbožnosť bezbožného bude na ňom, na bezbožnom.

²¹But 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.

²¹A keby sa bezbožný odvrátil od všetkých svojich hriechov, ktoré robil, a ostríhal by všetky moje ustanovenia a činil by súd a spravedlivosť, istotne bude žiť; nezomrie.

²²All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live.

²²Niktoré z jeho prestúpení, ktorých sa dopustil, sa mu nespomenú; vo svojej spravedlivosti, ktorú činil, bude žiť!

²³Have 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?

²³Či mám azda záľubu v smrti bezbožného, hovorí Pán Hospodin, či azda nie v tom, aby sa odvrátil od svojich ciest a žil?

²⁴But 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.

²⁴A keby sa odvrátil spravedlivý od svojej spravedlivosti a páchal by neprávosť robiac podľa všetkých ohavností, ktoré robí bezbožný, či azda bude žiť? Niktorá jeho spravedlivosť, ktorú činil, nespomenie sa. Pre svoju vierolomnosť, ktorej sa dopustil, a pre svoj hriech, ktorý spáchal, pre tie veci zomrie.

²⁵Yet 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?

²⁵A hovoríte: Nie je pravá cesta Pánova. Nože počujte, dome Izraelov: Či moja cesta nie je pravá? Či azda nie sú to vaše cesty, ktoré nie sú pravé?

²⁶When 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.

²⁶Keby sa odvrátil spravedlivý od svojej spravedlivosti a páchal by neprávosť a v tom by zomrel, zomrie pre svoju neprávosť, ktorú páchal.

²⁷Again, 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.

²⁷A zase keby sa odvrátil bezbožný od svojej bezbožnosti, ktorú robil, a činil by súd a spravedlivosť, ten zachová svoju dušu pri živote.

²⁸Because he considereth, and turneth away from all his transgressions that he hath committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die.

²⁸A keby videl a odvrátil by sa od všetkých svojich prestúpení, ktorých sa dopúšťal, istotne bude žiť, nezomrie.

²⁹Yet 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?

²⁹A dom Izraelov hovoria: Nie je pravá cesta Pánova. Ale či moje cesty nie sú pravé, dome Izraelov? Či azda nie sú to vaše cesty, ktoré nie sú pravé?

³⁰Therefore 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.

³⁰Preto vás budem súdiť, každého podľa jeho ciest, dome Izraelov, hovorí Pán Hospodin. Navráťte sa a odvráťte sa od všetkých svojich prestúpení, a nebude vám neprávosť na závadu, klesnúť.

³¹Cast 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?

³¹Odvrhnite od seba všetky svoje prestúpenia, ktorými ste prestupovali, a zadovážte si nové srdce a nového ducha! Lebo veď načo máte zomrieť, dome Izraelov?

³²For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.

³²Lebo nemám záľuby v smrti zomierajúceho, hovorí Pán Hospodin. Obráťte sa tedy a žite!
