我雖對惡人說他必定要死，但他若改邪歸正，行事公正仁義，

再者，我对恶人说：‘你必定死亡！’他若转离他的罪，行正直与合理的事：

我对恶人说：‘你必死亡！’他若转离他的罪恶，行公平公义的事；

我对恶人说：‘你必死亡！’他若转离他的罪恶，行公平公义的事；

我虽对恶人说他必定要死，但他若改邪归正，行事公正仁义，

我虽然对恶人说：‘你必定死亡’，但是他若离开他的罪，行公平和正直的事，

再者，我對惡人說：『你必定死亡！』他若轉離他的罪，行正直與合理的事：

我對惡人說：『你必死亡！』他若轉離他的罪惡，行公平公義的事；

我對惡人說：『你必死亡！』他若轉離他的罪惡，行公平公義的事；

我雖然對惡人說：‘你必定死亡’，但是他若離開他的罪，行公平和正直的事，

再者，我雖對惡人說：「你必定死」，然而他若轉離他的罪，行公平正義的事；

我若謂惡人曰、爾必死、而彼轉離其惡、循法合理、

我言惡人必死、如彼悛改、惟善是行。

我言惡人必死、如彼悔改其罪、為義行善、

And if I say to a wicked person,‘ You will surely die,’ but they then turn away from their sin and do what is just and right—

Suppose I say to a sinful person,‘ You can be sure you will die.’ And then they turn away from their sin. They do what is fair and right.

Again, though I say to the wicked,‘ You shall surely die,’ yet if he turns from his sin and does what is just and right,

And suppose I tell some wicked people that they will surely die, but then they turn from their sins and do what is just and right.

“‘ So when I tell the wicked person,“ You will surely die,” but he repents of his sin and does what is just and right—

But when I say to the wicked,‘ You will certainly die,’ and he turns from his sin and practices justice and righteousness,

Again, when I say to the wicked,‘ You shall surely die,’ if he turns from his sin and does what is lawful and right,

Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right;

“ So when I tell the wicked person,‘ You will surely die,’ but he repents of his sin and does what is just and right—

Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right;

Suppose I say to the wicked,‘ You must certainly die,’ but he turns from his sin and does what is just and right.

Again, when I say to the wicked,“ You will surely die;” if he turns from his sin, and does that which is lawful and right;

倘若惡人離惡行義，他必救回自己的性命。

以色列啊，你被自己的罪惡絆倒了，歸向你的上帝耶和華吧！

願邪惡的人停止作惡，不義的人除掉惡念。願他們歸向耶和華，祂必憐憫他們；願他們歸向我們的上帝，祂必仁慈地赦免他們。

如果我說惡人必定要死，你卻不警告他離開罪惡的行徑，他必因自己的罪而死，我卻要向你追討他喪命的血債。

當我宣佈要剷除、推翻、毀滅哪一邦或哪一國的時候，如果他們悔過自新，我必施憐憫，取消我原本要降給他們的災禍。

世人啊，耶和華已經指示你們何為良善。祂向你們所要的是什麼呢？是要你們行公義，好憐憫，謙卑地與你們的上帝同行。

自掩其罪，必不亨通；痛改前非，必蒙憐憫。

當我說某個惡人必滅亡時，如果你不告誡他，勸告他痛改前非，挽救他的性命，他必死在自己的罪中，而我要追究你的責任。如果你已經告誡他，他還是不肯離開自己的邪惡和罪行，他必死在罪惡之中，而你必免於罪責。

「惡人若肯痛改前非，遵守我的律例，秉公行義，就必活著，不致死亡。

不！我告訴你們，你們若不悔改，同樣也必滅亡。西羅亞樓倒塌時曾壓死了十八個人。你們以為他們比耶路撒冷其他人更有罪嗎？不！我告訴你們，你們若不悔改，同樣也必滅亡。」

聖經上說，『我喜愛憐憫之心，而非祭物』，你們去揣摩這句話的意思吧。我來不是要召義人，乃是要召罪人。」

耶和華說：「以色列啊，如果你回轉歸向我，回轉歸向我，從我眼前除掉可憎的神像，不再離開我；

所以你們要悔改，歸向上帝，祂將除去你們一切的罪惡，

惡人有禍了！他們必大禍臨頭，受到報應。
