- The word of Yahweh came to me again, saying,
- 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?
- As I live, says the Lord Yahweh, you shall not have [occasion] any more to use this proverb in Israel.
- Behold, 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.
- But if a man is just, and does that which is lawful and right,
- and has not eaten on the mountains, neither has lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, neither has defiled his neighbor's wife, neither has come near to a woman in her impurity,
- and 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;
- he who has not given forth on interest, neither has taken any increase, who has withdrawn his hand from iniquity, has executed true justice between man and man,
- has walked in my statutes, and has kept my ordinances, to deal truly; he is just, he shall surely live, says the Lord Yahweh.
- If he fathers a son who is a robber, a shedder of blood, and who does any one of these things,
- and who does not any of those [duties], but even has eaten on the mountains, and defiled his neighbor's wife,
- has 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,
- has given forth on interest, and has taken increase; shall he then live? he shall not live: he has done all these abominations; he shall surely die; his blood shall be on him.
- Now, behold, if he fathers a son, who sees all his father's sins, which he has done, and fears, and does not such like;
- who has not eaten on the mountains, neither has lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, has not defiled his neighbor's wife,
- neither has wronged any, has not taken anything to pledge, neither has taken by robbery, but has given his bread to the hungry, and has covered the naked with a garment;
- who has withdrawn his hand from the poor, who has not received interest nor increase, has executed my ordinances, has walked in my statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity of his father, he shall surely live.
- As for his father, because he cruelly oppressed, robbed his brother, and did that which is not good among his people, behold, he shall die in his iniquity.
- 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 shall surely live.
- The 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.
- But if the wicked turn from all his sins that he has committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
- None of his transgressions that he has committed shall be remembered against him: in his righteousness that he has done he shall live.
- Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked? says the Lord Yahweh; and not rather that he should return from his way, and live?
- But when the righteous turns away from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, and does according to all the abominations that the wicked man does, shall he live? None of his righteous deeds that he has done shall be remembered: in his trespass that he has trespassed, and in his sin that he has sinned, in them shall he die.
- 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?
- When the righteous man turns away from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, and dies therein; in his iniquity that he has done shall he die.
- Again, when the wicked man turns away from his wickedness that he has committed, and does that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive.
- Because he considers, and turns away from all his transgressions that he has committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
- Yet says the house of Israel, The way of the Lord is not equal. house of Israel, are not my ways equal? Aren't your ways unequal?
- Therefore I will judge you, house of Israel, everyone according to his ways, says the Lord Yahweh. Return, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.
- Cast 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?
- For I have no pleasure in the death of him who dies, says the Lord Yahweh: therefore turn yourselves, and live.

- ויהי דבר־יהוה אלי לאמר׃
- מה־לכם אתם משלים את־המשל הזה על־אדמת ישראל לאמר אבות יאכלו בסר ושני הבנים תקהינה׃
- חי־אני נאם אדני יהוה אם־יהיה לכם עוד משל המשל הזה בישראל׃
- הן כל־הנפשות לי הנה כנפש האב וכנפש הבן לי־הנה הנפש החטאת היא תמות׃ ס
- ואיש כי־יהיה צדיק ועשה משפט וצדקה׃
- אל־ההרים לא אכל ועיניו לא נשא אל־גלולי בית ישראל ואת־אשת רעהו לא טמא ואל־אשה נדה לא יקרב׃
- ואיש לא יונה חבלתו חוב ישיב גזלה לא יגזל לחמו לרעב יתן ועירם יכסה־בגד׃
- בנשך לא־יתן ותרבית לא יקח מעול ישיב ידו משפט אמת יעשה בין איש לאיש׃
- בחקותי יהלך ומשפטי שמר לעשות אמת צדיק הוא חיה יחיה נאם אדני יהוה׃
- והוליד בן־פריץ שפך דם ועשה אח מאחד מאלה׃
- והוא את־כל־אלה לא עשה כי גם אל־ההרים אכל ואת־אשת רעהו טמא׃
- עני ואביון הונה גזלות גזל חבל לא ישיב ואל־הגלולים נשא עיניו תועבה עשה׃
- בנשך נתן ותרבית לקח וחי לא יחיה את כל־התועבות האלה עשה מות יומת דמיו בו יהיה׃
- והנה הוליד בן וירא את־כל־חטאת אביו אשר עשה ויראה ולא יעשה כהן׃
- על־ההרים לא אכל ועיניו לא נשא אל־גלולי בית ישראל את־אשת רעהו לא טמא׃
- ואיש לא הונה חבל לא חבל וגזלה לא גזל לחמו לרעב נתן וערום כסה־בגד׃
- מעני השיב ידו נשך ותרבית לא לקח משפטי עשה בחקותי הלך הוא לא ימות בעון אביו חיה יחיה׃
- אביו כי־עשק עשק גזל גזל אח ואשר לא־טוב עשה בתוך עמיו והנה־מת בעונו׃
- ואמרתם מדע לא־נשא הבן בעון האב והבן משפט וצדקה עשה את כל־חקותי שמר ויעשה אתם חיה יחיה׃
- הנפש החטאת היא תמות בן לא־ישא בעון האב ואב לא ישא בעון הבן צדקת הצדיק עליו תהיה ורשעת עליו תהיה׃ ס
- והרשע כי ישוב מכל־ אשר עשה ושמר את־כל־חקותי ועשה משפט וצדקה חיה יחיה לא ימות׃
- כל־פשעיו אשר עשה לא יזכרו לו בצדקתו אשר־עשה יחיה׃
- החפץ אחפץ מות רשע נאם אדני יהוה הלוא בשובו מדרכיו וחיה׃ ס
- ובשוב צדיק מצדקתו ועשה עול ככל התועבות אשר־עשה הרשע יעשה וחי כל־ אשר־עשה לא תזכרנה במעלו אשר־מעל ובחטאתו אשר־חטא בם ימות׃
- ואמרתם לא יתכן דרך אדני שמעו־נא בית ישראל הדרכי לא יתכן הלא דרכיכם לא יתכנו׃
- בשוב־צדיק מצדקתו ועשה עול ומת עליהם בעולו אשר־עשה ימות׃ ס
- ובשוב רשע מרשעתו אשר עשה ויעש משפט וצדקה הוא את־נפשו יחיה׃
- ויראה מכל־פשעיו אשר עשה חיו יחיה לא ימות׃
- ואמרו בית ישראל לא יתכן דרך אדני הדרכי לא יתכנו בית ישראל הלא דרכיכם לא יתכן׃
- לכן איש כדרכיו אשפט אתכם בית ישראל נאם אדני יהוה שובו והשיבו מכל־פשעיכם ולא־יהיה לכם למכשול עון׃
- השליכו מעליכם את־כל־פשעיכם אשר פשעתם בם ועשו לכם לב חדש ורוח חדשה ולמה תמתו בית ישראל׃
- כי לא אחפץ במות המת נאם אדני יהוה והשיבו וחיו׃ ף

| Ezekiel 18 Text (Latin)

- Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens :
- Quid est quod inter vos parabolam vertitis in proverbium istud in terra Israël, dicentes : Patres comederunt uvam acerbam, et dentes filiorum obstupescunt ?
- Vivo ego, dicit Dominus Deus, si erit ultra vobis parabola hæc in proverbium in Israël.
- Ecce omnes animæ meæ sunt : ut anima patris, ita et anima filii mea est : anima quæ peccaverit, ipsa morietur.
- Et vir si fuerit justus, et fecerit judicium et justitiam,
- in montibus non comederit, et oculos suos non levaverit ad idola domus Israël : et uxorem proximi sui non violaverit, et ad mulierem menstruatam non accesserit :
- et hominem non contristaverit, pignus debitori reddiderit, per vim nihil rapuerit : panem suum esurienti dederit, et nudum operuerit vestimento,
- ad usuram non commodaverit, et amplius non acceperit : ab iniquitate averterit manum suam, et judicium verum fecerit inter virum et virum :
- in præceptis meis ambulaverit, et judicia mea custodierit, ut faciat veritatem : hic justus est : vita vivet, ait Dominus Deus.
- Quod si genuerit filium latronem, effundentem sanguinem, et fecerit unum de istis :
- et hæc quidem omnia non facientem, sed in montibus comedentem, et uxorem proximi sui polluentem :
- egenum et pauperem contristantem, rapientem rapinas, pignus non reddentem, et ad idola levantem oculos suos, abominationem facientem :
- ad usuram dantem, et amplius accipientem : numquid vivet ? Non vivet : cum universa hæc detestanda fecerit, morte morietur ; sanguis ejus in ipso erit.
- Quod si genuerit filium, qui videns omnia peccata patris sui quæ fecit, timuerit, et non fecerit simile eis :
- super montes non comederit, et oculos suos non levaverit ad idola domus Israël, et uxorem proximi sui non violaverit :
- et virum non contristaverit, pignus non retinuerit, et rapinam non rapuerit, panem suum esurienti dederit, et nudum operuerit vestimento :
- a pauperis injuria averterit manum suam, usuram et superabundantiam non acceperit, judicia mea fecerit, in præceptis meis ambulaverit : hic non morietur in iniquitate patris sui, sed vita vivet.
- Pater ejus, quia calumniatus est, et vim fecit fratri, et malum operatus est in medio populi sui, ecce mortuus est in iniquitate sua.
- Et dicitis : Quare non portavit filius iniquitatem patris ? Videlicet quia filius judicium et justitiam operatus est, omnia præcepta mea custodivit, et fecit illa, vivet vita.
- Anima quæ peccaverit, ipsa morietur : filius non portabit iniquitatem patris, et pater non portabit iniquitatem filii : justitia justi super eum erit, et impietas impii erit super eum.
- Si autem impius egerit pœnitentiam ab omnibus peccatis suis, quæ operatus est, et custodierit omnia præcepta mea, et fecerit judicium et justitiam, vita viet, et non morietur :
- omnium iniquitatum ejus, quas operatus est, non recordabor : in justitia sua, quam operatus est, vivet.
- Numquid voluntatis meæ est mors impii, dicit Dominus Deus, et non ut convertatur a viis suis, et vivat ?
- Si autem averterit se justus a justitia sua, et fecerit iniquitatem secundum omnes abominationes quas operari solet impius, numquid vivet ? Omnes justitiæ ejus, quas fecerat, non recordabuntur : in prævaricatione qua prævaricatus est, et in peccato quo quod peccavit, in ipsis morietur.
- Et dixistis : Non est æqua via Domini ! Audite ergo, domus Israël : numquid via mea non est æqua ? et non magis viæ vestræ pravæ sunt ?
- Cum enim averterit se justus a justitia sua, et fecerit iniquitatem, morietur in eis : in injustitia quam operatus est morietur.
- Et cum averterit se impius ab impietate sua quam operatus est, et fecerit judicium et justitiam, ipse animam suam vivificabit :
- considerans enim, et avertens se ab omnibus iniquitatibus suis quas operatus est, vita vivet, et non morietur.
- Et dicunt filii Israël : Non est æqua via Domini ! Numquid viæ meæ non sunt æquæ, domus Israël, et non magis viæ vestræ pravæ ?
- Idcirco unumquemque juxta vias suas judicabo, domus Israël, ait Dominus Deus. Convertimini, et agite pœnitentiam ab omnibus iniquitatibus vestris, et non erit vobis in ruinam iniquitas.
- Projicite a vobis omnes prævaricationes vestras in quibus prævaricati estis, et facite vobis cor novum, et spiritum novum : et quare moriemini, domus Israël ?
- Quia nolo mortem morientis, dicit Dominus Deus : revertimini, et vivite.

- The word of the LORD came unto me again, 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?
- As I live, saith the Lord GOD, ye shall not have occasion any more to use this proverb 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.
- But if a man be just, and do that which is lawful and right,
- 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,
- 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;
- 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,
- Hath walked in my statutes, and hath kept my judgments, to deal truly; he is just, he shall surely live, saith the Lord GOD.
- 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 that doeth not any of those duties, but even hath eaten upon the mountains, and defiled his neighbour's wife,
- 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,
- 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.
- 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,
- 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,
- 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,
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live.
- 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?
- 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.
- 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?
- 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.
- 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.
- Because he considereth, and turneth away from all his transgressions that he hath committed, he shall surely live, he shall 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?
- 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.
- 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?
- For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.
