人子、當告民云、如善人陷罪、不因前善而獲救、惡人悛改、不因舊惡而殞亡、

人子啊，你要对本国的子民说：义人的义，在犯罪之日不能救他；至于恶人的恶，在他转离恶行之日也不能使他倾倒；义人在犯罪之日也不能因他的义存活。

人子啊，你要对本国的百姓说：义人的义，在他犯罪之日不能救他；至于恶人的恶，在他转离恶行之日不会使他倾倒；义人在他犯罪之日不能因自己的义存活。

人子啊，你要对本国的百姓说：义人的义，在他犯罪之日不能救他；至于恶人的恶，在他转离恶行之日不会使他倾倒；义人在他犯罪之日不能因自己的义存活。

人子啊，你要对你的同胞说，‘当义人犯罪时，他以往的义救不了他；当恶人悔改时，他以往的恶不会使他灭没。义人若犯罪，他以往的义不能使他存活。’

人子啊！你要对你本国的人说：‘义人的义在他犯罪的日子，不能救他；恶人的恶在他离开恶行的日子，也不会绊倒他；义人在他犯罪的日子，也不能因他的义存活。’

人子啊，你要對本國的人民說：義人的義，在犯罪之日不能救他；至於惡人的惡，在他轉離惡行之日也不能使他傾倒；義人在犯罪之日也不能因他的義存活。

人子啊，你要對你的同胞說，『當義人犯罪時，他以往的義救不了他；當惡人悔改時，他以往的惡不會使他滅沒。義人若犯罪，他以往的義不能使他存活。』

人子啊！你要對你本國的人說：‘義人的義在他犯罪的日子，不能救他；惡人的惡在他離開惡行的日子，也不會絆倒他；義人在他犯罪的日子，也不能因他的義存活。’

人子啊，你要對你本國的子民說：義人犯法時，他的義也不能援救他；惡人回轉時，他的惡也不能使他因而跌倒；義人犯罪時，他也不能因他的義而活着。

人子歟、謂爾民族曰、義人干罪之日、其義不能救之、惡人去惡之日、其惡不能隕之、義人干罪之日、不能藉其義而得生、

惟爾人子歟、當告爾民曰、善人若有時犯罪、其前善不能救之、惡人若悔改其惡、其前惡不能害之、善人獲罪之日、不能恃其前善以得生、

“ Therefore, son of man, say to your people,‘ If someone who is righteous disobeys, that person’s former righteousness will count for nothing. And if someone who is wicked repents, that person’s former wickedness will not bring condemnation. The righteous person who sins will not be allowed to live even though they were formerly righteous.’

“ Son of man, speak to your people. Tell them,‘ Suppose a godly person does not obey the Lord. Then the right things that person has done in the past count for nothing. Suppose a sinful person turns away from doing wrong things. Then the wrong things that person has done in the past won’t bring them judgment. A godly person who sins won’t be allowed to live. That’s true even though they used to do right things.’

“ And you, son of man, say to your people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him when he transgresses, and as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall by it when he turns from his wickedness, and the righteous shall not be able to live by his righteousness when he sins.

“ Son of man, give your people this message: The righteous behavior of righteous people will not save them if they turn to sin, nor will the wicked behavior of wicked people destroy them if they repent and turn from their sins.

“ Now, son of man, say to your people,‘ The righteousness of the righteous person will not save him on the day of his transgression; neither will the wickedness of the wicked person cause him to stumble on the day he turns from his wickedness. The righteous person won’t be able to survive by his righteousness on the day he sins.

And you, son of man, say to your fellow citizens,‘ The righteousness of a righteous one will not save him on the day of his offense, and as for the wickedness of a wicked one, he will not stumble because of it on the day when he turns from his wickedness; whereas a righteous one will not be able to live by his righteousness on the day when he commits sin.’

“ Therefore you, O son of man, say to the children of your people:‘ The righteousness of the righteous man shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression; as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall because of it in the day that he turns from his wickedness; nor shall the righteous be able to live because of his righteousness in the day that he sins.’

And thou, son of man, say unto the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression; and as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turneth from his wickedness; neither shall he that is righteous be able to live thereby in the day that he sinneth.

“ Now, son of man, say to your people: The righteousness of the righteous person will not save him on the day of his transgression; neither will the wickedness of the wicked person cause him to stumble on the day he turns from his wickedness. The righteous person won’t be able to survive by his righteousness on the day he sins.

Therefore, thou son of man, say unto the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression: as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turneth from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able to live for his[ righteousness] in the day that he sinneth.

“ And you, son of man, say to your people,‘ The righteousness of the righteous will not deliver him if he rebels. As for the wicked, his wickedness will not make him stumble if he turns from it. The righteous will not be able to live by his righteousness if he sins.’

“ You, son of man, tell the children of your people,‘ The righteousness of the righteous will not deliver him in the day of his disobedience. And as for the wickedness of the wicked, he will not fall by it in the day that he turns from his wickedness; neither will he who is righteous be able to live by it in the day that he sins.

善人去善作惡、則因其所為、置諸死地、惡人悛改素行、孳孳為義、則可得生、

時我選民、卑以自牧、祈禱求我、免厥罪愆、則我在天必聞其祈、赦其愆尤、使封疆無害。

蓋上帝使耶穌流血、為挽回之祭、凡信之者、得蒙赦宥、上帝寛容、往世之罪以免、鞫人之義以彰、

我書達小子、使爾不陷罪、人若陷罪、則於父前、有保惠師、義人耶穌基督、

如善人去善就惡、行諸不義、我所痛疾者、豈得保生乎、其所行之善、不復追憶、既犯罪作惡、必使之亡。爾言我耶和華所行、不尚正直、以色列族宜聽我言、我所行者、惟秉大公、爾所為者、尚存偏頗。善人去善作惡、則必因其所為、置諸死地。如惡人悛改素行、孳孳為義、則可得生、因其思慮、悛改厥惡、則保其生、不就死地。以色列族常言、我耶和華所為、不尚正直、爾以色列族乎、我所行者、惟秉至公、爾所為者、不能無私。我耶和華必鞫以色列族、視人所為、降以刑罰、故當悛改、免陷於罪、以致滅亡。以色列族乎、當革爾惡行、新爾心神、奚為自取其死。人死於罪、我所不悅、故當悛改、保爾生命、我耶和華已言之矣。

如惡人悛改素行、守我禮儀、孳孳為義、則可保生、不就死地、

人子、當告民曰、如我於邦國、降以鋒刃之災、則民簡境內一人、置為戍卒、

一心一意、歸向乎爾、望爾所錫列祖之故土、及爾所簡之邑垣、與我所建之殿、為籲名之所、祈求於爾、則爾在天、居於明宮、俯聞厥祈、俾其得救。爾民犯罪於爾、爾其赦宥、使虜之者施其矜憫、

如義人棄善作惡、我任其陷罪、至於死亡、彼所為之善不復繫念、死於罪戾、爾既不示之、我亦必罰爾。如爾示義人、使不犯罪、聽爾訓悔、彼可得生、爾亦無咎、

人有二子、謂其長者曰、子、今日往葡萄園工作、對以不可、後悔而往、命其次子亦如之、對曰、主、諾、既而不果往、爾意何如、二者、孰遵父旨乎、曰、長子、耶穌曰、我誠告爾、稅吏娼妓、先爾入上帝國矣、
