YLT
Young's Literal Translation
The
word of the
LORD
came
unto me again
, saying ,
`And
there
is
a
word of Jehovah
unto me, saying :
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
?
`
What --
to
you
, ye --
using
this simile
Concerning the ground
of Israel, saying :
Fathers do
eat
unripe
fruit
, And the sons'
teeth are blunted
?
As
I live ,
saith
the Lord GOD
, ye shall
not
have occasion
any
more to
use this proverb
in Israel.
I live --
an
affirmation
of
the Lord Jehovah
, Ye have no
more the
use of
this simile
in Israel.
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.
Lo
, all the
souls are Mine ,
As the soul of the father, So also the soul of the son --
they
are
Mine ,
The soul that is
sinning
--
it doth
die.
But
if
a man be
just
, and
do
that
which
is lawful
and right
,
And
a man, when
he
is righteous,
And hath
done
judgment
and
righteousness
,
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,
On
the
mountains
he
hath not eaten, And
his
eyes
he
hath not
lifted up Unto
idols of the house of Israel, And
the
wife of
his
neighbour
defiled
not
, And
to a separated
woman cometh
not
near
,
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 ;
A
man
--
he
doth
not oppress
, His
pledge
to the debtor he
doth
return
, Plunder
he
doth
not
take
away
, His bread to the hungry he
doth
give
, And the naked doth
cover
with a garment ,
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withdrawn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 ,
In
usury
he doth
not give
, and
increase taketh
not
, From
perversity
he
turneth
back
his hand, True judgment he
doth
between man and man .
Hath
walked
in my statutes, and hath
kept
my judgments ,
to deal truly ;
he
is just
, he shall
surely live
, saith
the Lord GOD
.
In My statutes he
doth
walk
, And My judgments he
hath
kept
--
to deal truly ,
Righteous
`
is '
he
, he surely liveth
, An
affirmation
of
the Lord Jehovah
.
If
he beget
a son that
is
a
robber
, a shedder of blood, and that
doeth
the
like
to
any
one of these things
,
And
--
he hath
begotten
a son, A burglar
--
a
shedder of blood, And he
hath
made
a
brother
of
one of these,
And that
doeth
not
any
of
those duties
, but
even hath
eaten
upon
the mountains, and defiled
his
neighbour's
wife,
And he
all
those hath
not
done
, For
even on
the mountains he
hath
eaten
, And the
wife of
his
neighbour
he
hath
defiled
,
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 ,
The afflicted
and needy he
hath oppressed
, Plunder
he
hath taken
violently
away,
A
pledge he
doth
not
return
, And unto
the
idols
he
hath lifted up his eyes, Abomination he
hath
done!
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.
In
usury
he
hath given, and increase taken,
And
he liveth:
he doth
not live ,
All these abominations he hath
done,
He
doth
surely die ,
his blood is
on
him.
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,
And
--
lo, he hath
begotten
a son, And
he
seeth all the
sins of
his
father,
That
he hath done, and he
feareth
, And doth
not do
like them
,
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
,
On
the
mountains
he
hath not eaten, And
his
eyes
he
hath not
lifted up Unto
idols of the house of Israel, The
wife
of
his
neighbour
he
hath not defiled,
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,
A
man
--
he
hath not
oppressed, A
pledge
he
hath not bound
, And
plunder
he
hath not
taken
away
, His bread to the hungry he
hath
given
, And the naked he
covered
with a garment,
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.
From
the
afflicted
he
hath turned
back
his hand, Usury and
increase he
hath not
taken,
My judgments he
hath done,
In My statutes he hath
walked,
He
doth
not die for the iniquity of his father, He doth
surely live.
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.
His father --
because he used
oppression
, Did
violently
Plunder
a
brother, And that which `
is '
not good did
in
the
midst
of
his people, And
lo, he is
dying
in his iniquity.
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
.
And
ye have
said
, Wherefore
hath
not the son ,
Borne
of
the iniquity of the father? And
--
the son judgment
and
righteousness
hath done, All My statutes he
hath
kept
, And he
doeth
them, he surely liveth
.
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.
The soul that doth
sin
--
it doth
die. A
son doth
not bear of
the iniquity of the father, And
a
father doth
not
bear of
the iniquity of the son ,
The righteousness of the righteous is
on
him, And the wickedness of the wicked is
on
him.
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.
And
the wicked --
when
he
turneth
back
From all his sins that he hath done
, And he
hath
kept
all My statutes, And hath
done
judgment
and righteousness
, He doth
surely live, he doth
not die.
All his transgressions that he hath committed,
they
shall
not be
mentioned
unto
him :
in his righteousness that he hath done he shall
live
.
All his transgressions that he hath done
Are
not remembered
to
him ,
In his righteousness that he hath done he liveth
.
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
?
Do
I at all desire
the death
of
the
wicked? An
affirmation
of
the Lord Jehovah,
Is
it
not in
his
turning
back
from his way
--
And he
hath
lived
?
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.
And
in
the turning
back
of
the
righteous from his righteousness, And he
hath
done
perversity
, According to all the abominations That the wicked hath
done
, he doth
--
thus
he
liveth,
All his righteousnesses
that he hath done are
not remembered,
For
his trespass that he hath trespassed, And for
his sin that he hath sinned, For
them he doth
die.
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
?
And
ye have
said
, Not
pondered
is
the way of the Lord. Hear, I
pray
you,
O house of Israel ,
My way --
is
it
not
pondered
? Are not your ways unpondered
?
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
.
In
the
turning
back
of
the
righteous from his righteousness, And he
hath
done
perversity
, And he
is
dying
by
them ,
for his perversity
That he hath done he dieth
.
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.
And
in
the turning
back
of
the
wicked From his wickedness that he hath done
, And he
doth
judgment
and righteousness
, He his soul doth
keep
alive.
Because
he considereth,
and turneth away
from all his transgressions that he hath committed
, he shall
surely live, he shall
not die .
And
he seeth
and turneth back,
From all his transgressions that he hath done
, He doth
surely live, he doth
not die ,
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
?
And
the house of Israel have
said
, Not
pondered
is
the way of the Lord ,
My
ways
--
are
they
not pondered?
O house of Israel --
are not your ways unpondered
?
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.
Therefore ,
each
according
to
his
ways
I judge you, O house of Israel ?
An
affirmation
of
the Lord Jehovah
, Turn ye
back,
yea,
turn
yourselves back,
From all your transgressions ,
And
iniquity is
not to
you
for
a
stumbling-block,
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?
Cast from off
you all your transgressions, By
which
ye have transgressed ,
And make to
you a new heart ,
and a new spirit ,
And
why do
ye die, O house of Israel?
For I have no pleasure in the death of him
that
dieth
, saith
the Lord GOD:
wherefore
turn
yourselves
, and live
ye .
For I have no pleasure in the death of the
dying
, An
affirmation
of
the Lord Jehovah
, And turn
ye back
and
live!
