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

¹Oo haddana Eraygii Rabbiga ayaa ii yimid isagoo leh,

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?

²Maxaad ula jeeddaan markaad maahmaahdan dalka reer binu Israa'iil ugu maahmaahdaan, idinkoo leh, Aabbayaashu waxay cuneen canab dhanaan, oo carruurta ilkahoodiina way saliilyoodeen?

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

³Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Noloshaydaan ku dhaartaye inaydaan mar dambe maahmaahdan dalka reer binu Israa'iil kaga dhex maahmaahi doonin.

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.

⁴Bal eega, nafaha oo dhan anigaa iska leh, oo sida nafta aabbuhu ay taydii u tahay ayaa tan wiilkuna ay taydii u tahay, haddaba naftii dembaabtaa way dhiman doontaa.

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

⁵Laakiinse haddii nin xaq yahay oo uu waxa xaqa ah oo qumman sameeyo,

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,

⁶oo uusan buuraha wax ku cunin, ama uusan indhihiisa sanamyada reer binu Israa'iil kor ugu taagin, ama uusan naagta deriskiisa nijaasayn, ama uusan naag xayl qabta u dhowaan,

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;

⁷oo uusan cidna dulmin, laakiinse uu kii wax ka deyntay rahaamaddiisii u celiyey, oo uusan waxba xoog ku boobin, oo uu cuntadiisiina mid gaajaysan siiyey, oo uu kii qaawanna dhar huwiyey,

⁸He that hath not given forth upon usury, neither hath taken any increase, that hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity, hath executed true judgment between man and man,

⁸ama uusan korsaar wax ku bixin, oo uusan ribo cidna ka qaadan, oo uu yahay mid gacantiisa xumaanta dib uga celiya, oo si caddaalad ah ugu garsooray nin iyo nin kale,

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

⁹oo uu qaynuunnadayda ku socday, oo uu xukummadayda u xajiyey si uu wax qumman u sameeyo, kaasu waa xaq, oo hubaal wuu noolaan doonaa, ayaa Sayidka Rabbiga ahu leeyahay.

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

¹⁰Oo ninkaasu hadduu dhalo wiil tuug ah, oo gacankudhiigle ah, amase wax waxyaalahaas la mid ah sameeya,

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

¹¹oo uusan waxyaalaha waajibka ku ah samayn, laakiinse uu buuraha wax ku cunay, oo uu naagtii deriskiisana nijaaseeyey,

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,

¹²oo uu miskiinka iyo saboolka baahan dulmay, oo uu xoog wax ku boobay, oo uusan cidna rahaamad u celin, oo uu indhihiisana sanamyada kor ugu taagay, oo uu wax karaahiya ah sameeyey,

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.

¹³oo uu korsaar wax ku bixiyey, oo uu cid kale ribo ka qaatay, kaasu miyuu noolaanayaa? Isagu noolaan maayo, waayo, waxyaalahaas karaahiyada ah oo dhan ayuu sameeyey, hubaal wuu dhiman doonaa, oo dhiiggiisuna isaguu dul saarnaan doonaa.

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,

¹⁴Haddaba bal eeg, kaasu hadduu dhalo wiil dembigii aabbihiis sameeyey oo dhan arka, oo uu markaas cabsado, oo aan waxaas oo kale samayn,

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,

¹⁵oo uusan buuraha wax ku cunin, ama uusan indhihiisa sanamyada reer binu Israa'iil kor ugu taagin, oo uusan naagta deriskiisa nijaasayn,

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,

¹⁶ama uusan cidnaba dulmin, oo uusan rahaamadda qaadan, oo uusan waxba xoog ku boobin, laakiinse uu cuntadiisa kii gaajaysan siiyey, oo kii qaawanna dhar huwiyey,

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.

¹⁷oo uu gacantiisana masaakiinta dib uga celiyey, oo uusan korsaar amase ribo cidna ka qaadan, oo uu xukummadayda sameeyey, oo uu qaynuunnadayda ku socday, kaasu xumaantii aabbihiis sameeyey aawadeed uma dhiman doono, hubaalse wuu noolaan doonaa.

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.

¹⁸Laakiinse aabbihiis xumaantiisuu ku dhex dhiman doonaa, maxaa yeelay, isagu si nac weyn ayuu wax u dulmay, oo walaalkiisna xoog buu wax kaga boobay, oo dadkiisana wax aan wanaagsanayn buu ku dhex sameeyey.

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.

¹⁹Laakiinse idinku waxaad tidhaahdaan, Wiilku muxuu u qaadan waayaa xumaantii aabbihiis? Wiilku hadduu sameeyo waxa xaqa ah oo qumman, oo uu qaynuunnadayda oo dhan xajiyey, oo uu wada sameeyey, hubaal wuu noolaan doonaa.

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.

²⁰Nafta dembaabtaa way dhiman doontaa. Wiilku ma uu qaadan doono xumaanta aabbaha, aabbuhuna ma uu qaadan doono xumaanta wiilka. Ka xaqa ah xaqnimadiisaa dul saarnaan doonta, oo ka sharka lehna sharnimadiisaa dul saarnaan doonta.

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.

²¹Laakiinse ka sharka lihi hadduu dembiyadiisii uu sameeyey oo dhan ka soo noqdo, oo uu qaynuunnadayda oo dhan wada xajiyo, oo uu waxa xaqa ah oo qumman sameeyo, hubaal kaasu wuu noolaan doonaa, mana dhiman doono.

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

²²Oo xadgudubyadiisii uu sameeyey oo dhan midna looma soo xusuusan doono. Wuxuu ku noolaan doonaa xaqnimadiisii uu sameeyey.

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?

²³Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Anigu miyaan innaba sharrowga dhimashadiisa ku farxaa? Sowse kama aan jecli inuu jidkiisa ka soo noqdo oo uu noolaado?

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.

²⁴Laakiinse ka xaqa ahu hadduu xaqnimadiisa ka leexdo, oo uu xumaan sameeyo, oo uu wada sameeyo waxyaalaha karaahiyada ah ee uu sharrowgu sameeyo oo dhan, markaas miyuu sii noolaan doonaa? Waxyaalihii xaqa ahaa ee uu sameeyey oo dhan innaba lama soo xusuusan doono, oo wuxuu ku dhex dhiman doonaa xadgudubkiisii uu xadgudbay, iyo dembigiisii uu dembaabay.

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?

²⁵Laakiinse idinku waxaad tidhaahdaan, Sayidka jidkiisu ma qummana, haddaba reer binu Israa'iilow, bal i maqla. Sow jidkaygu ma qummana? Sow jidadkiinnu ma aha kuwa aan qummanaynu?

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.

²⁶Marka ka xaqa ahu uu xaqnimadiisa ka leexdo, oo uu xumaan sameeyo, oo uu taas ku dhinto, wuxuu ku dhiman doonaa xumaantii uu sameeyey.

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.

²⁷Haddaba sharrowgu markuu sharnimadiisii uu sameeyey ka soo noqdo, oo uu waxa xaqa ah ee qumman sameeyo, markaasuu naftiisa badbaadin doonaa.

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

²⁸Isagu wuu fiirsadaa, oo xadgudubyadiisii uu sameeyey oo dhan wuu ka soo noqdaa, oo sidaas aawadeed hubaal wuu noolaan doonaa, mana dhiman doono.

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?

²⁹Laakiinse reer binu Israa'iil waxay yidhaahdaan, Sayidka jidkiisu ma qummana. Reer binu Israa'iilow, sow jidadkaygu ma qummana? Sow jidadkiinnu ma aha kuwa aan qummanaynu?

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.

³⁰Sidaas daraaddeed Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Reer binu Israa'iilow, anigu midkiin kastaba waxaan u xukumi doonaa siday jidadkiisu ahaayeen. Haddaba soo noqda, oo xadgudubyadiinnii oo dhan ka soo noqda, si ayan xumaantu halligaaddiinnii u noqon.

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?

³¹Xadgudubyadiinnii aad xadgudubteen oo dhan iska xoora, oo waxaad yeelataan qalbi cusub iyo ruux cusub, waayo, reer binu Israa'iilow, bal maxaad u dhimanaysaan?Waayo, Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Anigu innaba kii dhinta dhimashadiisa kuma farxo, haddaba soo noqda oo noolaada.

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

³²Waayo, Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Anigu innaba kii dhinta dhimashadiisa kuma farxo, haddaba soo noqda oo noolaada.
