Ezequiel 18
Lutherbibel Bolsinger (1545)
1Und des HERRN Wort geschah zu mir und sprach:
2Was treibet ihr unter euch im Lande Israel dies Sprichwort und sprechet: Die Vater haben Herlinge gegessen, aber den Kindern sind die Zahne davon stumpf worden?
3So wahr als ich lebe, spricht der Herr HERR, solch Sprichwort soli nicht mehr unter euch gehen in Israel.
4Denn siehe, alle Seelen sind mein; des Vaters Seele ist sowohl mein als des Sohnes Seele. Welche Seele sundiget, die soil sterben.
5Wenn nun einerfromm ist, der recht und wohl tut;
6der auf den Bergen nicht isset; der seine Augen nicht aufhebet zu den Gotzen des Hauses Israel und seines Nachsten Weib nicht befleckt und liegt nicht bei der Frau in ihrer Krankheit;
7der niemand beschadiget; der dem Schuldner sein Pfand wiedergibt; der niemand etwas mit Gewalt nimmt; der dem Hungrigen sein Brot mitteilet und den Nackenden kleidet;
8der nicht wuchert; der niemand ubersetzet; der seine Hand vom Unrechten kehret; der zwischen den Leuten recht urteilet;
9der nach meinen Rechten wandelt und meine Gebote halt, daß er ernstlich danach tue: das ist ein frommer Mann; der soil das Leben haben, spricht der Herr HERR.
10Wenn er aber einen Sohn zeuget, und derselbige wird ein Morder, der Blut vergeulit Oder dieser Stucke eins tut
11und der andern Stucke keins nicht tut, sondern isset auf den Bergen und beflecket seines Nachsten Weib,
12beschadiget die Armen und Elenden, mit Gewalt etwas nimmt, das Pfand nicht wiedergibt, seine Augen zu den Gotzen aufhebet, damit er einen Greuel begehet,
13gibtauf Wucher, ubersetzt: sollte der leben? Er soil nicht leben, sondern weil er solche Greuel alle getan hat, soil er des Todes sterben; sein Blut soil auf ihm sein.
14Wo er aber einen Sohn zeuget, der alle solche Sünde siehet, so sein Vater tut, und sich furchtet und nicht also tut:
15isset nicht auf den Bergen, hebet seine Augen nicht auf zu den Gotzen des Hauses Israel, beflecket nicht seines Nachsten Weib,
16beschadiget niemand, behalt das Pfand nicht, nicht mit Gewalt etwas nimmt, teilet sein Brot mit dem Hungrigen und kleidet den Nackenden;
17der seine Hand vom Unrechten kehret, keinen Wucher noch Ubersatz nimmt, sondern meine Gebote halt und nach meinen Rechten lebet: der soil nicht sterben urn seines Vaters Missetat willen, sondern leben.
18Aber sein Vater, der Gewalt und Unrecht geubet und unter seinem Volk getan hat, das nicht taugt, siehe, derselbige soil sterben urn seiner Missetat willen.
19So sprechet ihr: Warum soil denn ein Sohn nicht tragen seines Vaters Missetat? Darum, daß er recht und wohl getan und alle meine Rechte gehalten und getan hat, soil er leben.
20Denn welche Seele sundiget, die soil sterben. Der Sohn soil nicht tragen die Missetat des Vaters, und der Vater soil nicht tragen die Missetat des Sohnes, sondern des Gerechten Gerechtigkeit soil uber ihm sein, und des Ungerechten Ungerechtigkeit soil fiber ihm sein.
21Wo sich aber der Gottlose bekehret von alien seinen Sünden, die er getan hat, und halt alle meine Rechte und tut recht und wohl, so soil er leben und nicht sterben.
22Es soli alter seiner Ubertretung, so er begangen hat, nicht gedachtwerden, sondern soil leben urn der Gerechtigkeit willen, die er tut.
23Meinest du, daß ich Gefallen habe am Tode des Gottlosen, sprichtder Herr HERR, und nicht vielmehr, daß er sich bekehre von seinem Wesen und lebe?
24Und wo sich der Gerechte kehret von seiner Gerechtigkeit und tut Boses und lebet nach alien Greueln, die ein Gottloser tut, sollte der leben? Ja, aller seiner Gerechtigkeit, die er getan hat, soil nicht gedacht werden, sondern in seiner Ubertretung und Sünden, die er getan hat, soil er sterben.
25Noch sprechet ihr: Der HERR handelt nicht recht. So horet nun, ihr vom Hause Israel: Ist's nicht also, daß ich recht habe und ihr unrecht habt?
26Denn wenn der Gerechte sich kehret von seiner Gerechtigkeit und tut Boses, so muft er sterben; er muft aber urn seiner Bosheit willen, die er getan hat, sterben.
27Wiederum, wenn sich der Gottlose kehret von seiner Ungerechtigkeit, die er getan hat, und tut nun recht und wohl, der wird seine Seele lebendig behalten.
28Denn weil er siehet und bekehret sich von aller seiner Bosheit, die er getan hat, so soil er leben und nicht sterben.
29Noch sprechen die vom Hause Israel: Der HERR handelt nicht recht. Sollt ich unrecht haben? Ihr vom Hause Israel habt unrecht.
30Darum will ich euch richten, ihr vom Hause Israel, einen jeglichen nach seinem Wesen, spricht der Herr HERR. Darum so bekehret euch von aller eurer Ubertretung, auf daß ihr nicht fallen müsset urn der Missetat willen.
31Werfet von euch alle eure Ubertretung, damit ihr ubertreten habt, und machet euch ein neu Herz und neuen Geist. Denn warum willst du also sterben, du Haus Israel?
32Denn ich habe keinen Gefallen am Tode des Sterbenden, spricht der Herr HERR. Darum bekehret euch, so werdet ihr leben!
Reina-Valera 1909
1Y FUÉ á mí palabra de Jehová, diciendo:
2¿Qué pensáis vosotros, vosotros que usáis este refrán sobre la tierra de Israel, diciendo: Los padres comieron el agraz, y los dientes de los hijos tienen la dentera?
3Vivo yo, dice el Señor Jehová, que nunca más tendréis por qué usar este refrán en Israel.
4He aquí que todas las almas son mías; como el alma del padre, así el alma del hijo es mía; el alma que pecare, esa morirá.
5Y el hombre que fuere justo, é hiciere juicio y justicia;
6Que no comiere sobre los montes, ni alzare sus ojos á los ídolos de la casa de Israel, ni violare la mujer de su prójimo, ni llegare á la mujer menstruosa,
7Ni oprimiere á ninguno; al deudor tornare su prenda, no cometiere robo, diere de su pan al hambriento, y cubriere al desnudo con vestido,
8No diere á logro, ni recibiere aumento; de la maldad retrajere su mano, é hiciere juicio de verdad entre hombre y hombre,
9En mis ordenanzas caminare, y guardare mis derechos para hacer verdad, éste es justo: éste vivirá, dice el Señor Jehová.
10Mas si engendrare hijo ladrón, derramador de sangre, ó que haga alguna cosa de éstas,
11Y que no haga las otras; antes comiere sobre los montes, ó violare la mujer de su prójimo,
12Al pobre y menesteroso oprimiere, cometiere robos, no tornare la prenda, ó alzare sus ojos á los ídolos, é hiciere abominación,
13Diere á usura, y recibiere aumento: ¿vivirá éste? No vivirá. Todas estas abominaciones hizo; de cierto morirá; su sangre será sobre él.
14Pero si éste engendrare hijo, el cual viere todos los pecados que su padre hizo, y viéndolos no hiciere según ellos:
15No comiere sobre los montes, ni alzare sus ojos á los ídolos de la casa de Israel; la mujer de su prójimo no violare,
16Ni oprimiere á nadie; la prenda no empeñare, ni cometiere robos; al hambriento diere de su pan, y cubriere de vestido al desnudo;
17Apartare su mano del pobre, usura ni aumento no recibiere; hiciere mis derechos, y anduviere en mis ordenanzas, éste no morirá por la maldad de su padre; de cierto vivirá.
18Su padre, por cuanto hizo agravio, despojó violentamente al hermano, é hizo en medio de su pueblo lo que no es bueno, he aquí que él morirá por su maldad.
19Y si dijereis: ¿Por qué el hijo no llevará por el pecado de su padre? Porque el hijo hizo juicio y justicia, guardó todas mis ordenanzas, y las hizo, de cierto vivirá.
20El alma que pecare, esa morirá: el hijo no llevará por el pecado del padre, ni el padre llevará por el pecado del hijo: la justicia del justo será sobre él, y la impiedad del impío será sobre él.
21Mas el impío, si se apartare de todos sus pecados que hizo, y guardare todas mis ordenanzas, é hiciere juicio y justicia, de cierto vivirá; no morirá.
22Todas sus rebeliones que cometió, no le serán recordadas: en su justicia que hizo vivirá.
23¿Quiero yo la muerte del impío? dice el Señor Jehová. ¿No vivirá, si se apartare de sus caminos?
24Mas si el justo se apartare de su justicia, y cometiere maldad, é hiciere conforme á todas las abominaciones que el impío hizo, ¿vivirá él? Todas las justicias que hizo no vendrán en memoria; por su rebelión con que prevaricó, y por su pecado que cometió, por ello morirá.
25Y si dijereis: No es derecho el camino del Señor: oid ahora, casa de Israel: ¿No es derecho mi camino? ¿no son vuestros caminos torcidos?
26Apartándose el justo de su justicia, y haciendo iniquidad, él morirá por ello: por su iniquidad que hizo, morirá.
27Y apartándose el impío de su impiedad que hizo, y haciendo juicio y justicia, hará vivir su alma.
28Porque miró, y apartóse de todas sus prevaricaciones que hizo, de cierto vivirá, no morirá.
29Si aun dijere la casa de Israel: No es derecho el camino del Señor: ¿No son derechos mis caminos, casa de Israel? Cierto, vuestros caminos no son derechos.
30Por tanto, yo os juzgaré á cada uno según sus caminos, oh casa de Israel, dice el Señor Jehová. Convertíos, y volveos de todas vuestras iniquidades; y no os será la iniquidad causa de ruina.
31Echad de vosotros todas vuestras iniquidades con que habéis prevaricado, y haceos corazón nuevo y espíritu nuevo. ¿Y por qué moriréis, casa de Israel?
32Que no quiero la muerte del que muere, dice el Señor Jehová; convertíos pues, y viviréis.
King James Version
1The word of the LORD came unto me again, saying,
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?
3As I live, saith the Lord GOD, ye shall not have occasion any more to use this proverb in Israel.
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.
5But if a man be just, and do that which is lawful and right,
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,
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;
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,
9Hath walked in my statutes, and hath kept my judgments, to deal truly; he is just, he shall surely live, saith the Lord GOD.
10If he beget a son that is a robber, a shedder of blood, and that doeth the like to any one of these things,
11And that doeth not any of those duties, but even hath eaten upon the mountains, and defiled his neighbour’s wife,
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,
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.
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,
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,
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
22All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
28Because he considereth, and turneth away from all his transgressions that he hath committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
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?
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.
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?
32For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.
World English Bible
1The LORD’s word came to me again, saying,
2“What do you mean, that you 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,” says the Lord GOD, “you shall not use this proverb any more in Israel.
4Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine. The soul who sins, he shall die.
5“But if a man is just, and does that which is lawful and right,
6and has not eaten on the mountains, hasn’t lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, hasn’t defiled his neighbor’s wife, hasn’t come near a woman in her impurity,
7and has not wronged any, but has restored to the debtor his pledge, has taken nothing by robbery, has given his bread to the hungry, and has covered the naked with a garment;
8he who hasn’t lent to them with interest, hasn’t taken any increase from them, who has withdrawn his hand from iniquity, has executed true justice between man and man,
9has walked in my statutes, and has kept my ordinances, to deal truly; he is just, he shall surely live,” says the Lord GOD.
10“If he fathers a son who is a robber who sheds blood, and who does any one of these things,
11or who does not do any of those things but has eaten at the mountain shrines and defiled his neighbor’s wife,
12has wronged the poor and needy, has taken by robbery, has not restored the pledge, and has lifted up his eyes to the idols, has committed abomination,
13has lent with interest, and has taken increase from the poor, shall he then live? He shall not live. He has done all these abominations. He shall surely die. His blood will be on him.
14“Now, behold, if he fathers a son who sees all his father’s sins which he has done, and fears, and doesn’t do likewise,
15who hasn’t eaten on the mountains, hasn’t lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, hasn’t defiled his neighbor’s wife,
16hasn’t wronged any, hasn’t taken anything to pledge, hasn’t taken by robbery, but has given his bread to the hungry, and has covered the naked with a garment;
17who has withdrawn his hand from the poor, who hasn’t received interest or increase, has executed my ordinances, has walked in my statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity of his father. He shall surely live.
18As for his father, because he cruelly oppressed, robbed his brother, and did that which is not good among his people, behold, he will die in his iniquity.
19“Yet you say, ‘Why doesn’t the son bear the iniquity of the father?’ When the son has done that which is lawful and right, and has kept all my statutes, and has done them, he will surely live.
20The soul who sins, he 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 on him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be on him.
21“But if the wicked turns from all his sins that he has committed, and keeps all my statutes, and does that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live. He shall not die.
22None of his transgressions that he has committed will be remembered against him. In his righteousness that he has done, he shall live.
23Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked?” says the Lord GOD, “and not rather that he should return from his way, and live?
24“But when the righteous turns away from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, and does according to all the abominations that the wicked man does, should he live? None of his righteous deeds that he has done will be remembered. In his trespass that he has trespassed, and in his sin that he has sinned, in them he shall die.
25“Yet you say, ‘The way of the Lord is not equal.’ Hear now, house of Israel: Is my way not equal? Aren’t your ways unequal?
26When the righteous man turns away from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, and dies in it, then he dies in his iniquity that he has done.
27Again, when the wicked man turns away from his wickedness that he has committed, and does that which is lawful and right, he will save his soul alive.
28Because he considers, and turns away from all his transgressions that he has committed, he shall surely live. He shall not die.
29Yet the house of Israel says, ‘The way of the Lord is not fair.’ House of Israel, aren’t my ways fair? Aren’t your ways unfair?
30“Therefore I will judge you, house of Israel, everyone according to his ways,” says the Lord GOD. “Return, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions, so iniquity will not be your ruin.
31Cast away from you all your transgressions in which you have transgressed; and make yourself a new heart and a new spirit. For why will you die, house of Israel?
32For I have no pleasure in the death of him who dies,” says the Lord GOD. “Therefore turn yourselves, and live!
