Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: What is the meaning?
1耶和華的話又臨到我說：
2That you use among you this parable as a proverb in the land of Israel, saying: The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the teeth of the children are set on edge.
2「你們在 以色列 地怎麼用這俗語說『父親吃了酸葡萄，兒子的牙酸倒了』呢？」
3As I live, saith the Lord God, this parable shall be no more to you a proverb in Israel.
3主耶和華說：「我指着我的永生起誓，你們在 以色列 中，必不再有用這俗語的 因由 。
4Behold all souls are mine: as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, the same shall die.
4看哪，世人都是屬我的；為父的怎樣屬我，為子的也照樣屬我；犯罪的，他必死亡。
5And if a man be just, and do judgment and justice,
5「人若是公義，且行正直與合理的事：
6And hath not eaten upon the mountains, nor lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel: and hath not defiled his neighbour’s wife, nor come near to a menstruous woman:
6未曾在山上吃過 祭偶像之物 ，未曾仰望 以色列 家的偶像，未曾玷污鄰舍的妻，未曾在婦人的經期內親近她，
7And hath not wronged any man: but hath restored the pledge to the debtor, hath taken nothing away by violence: hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment:
7未曾虧負人，乃將欠債之人的當頭還給他；未曾搶奪人的物件，卻將食物給飢餓的人吃，將衣服給赤身的人穿；
8Hath not lent upon usury, nor taken any increase: hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity, and hath executed true judgment between man and man:
8未曾向借錢的 弟兄 取利，也未曾向借糧的 弟兄 多要，縮手不作罪孽，在兩人之間，按至理判斷；
9Hath walked in my commandments, and kept my judgments, to do truth: he is just, he shall surely live, saith the Lord God.
9遵行我的律例，謹守我的典章，按誠實行事－這人是公義的，必定存活。這是主耶和華說的。
10And if he beget a son that is a robber, a shedder of blood, and that hath done some one of these things:
10「他若生一個兒子，作強盜，是流人血的，不行以上所說之善，反行其中之惡，乃在山上吃過 祭偶像之物 ，並玷污鄰舍的妻，
11Though he doth not all these things, but that eateth upon the mountains, and that defileth his neighbour’s wife:
no verse 11 in this text
12That grieveth the needy and the poor, that taketh away by violence, that restoreth not the pledge, and that lifteth up his eyes to idols, that committeth abomination:
12虧負困苦和窮乏的人，搶奪人的物，未曾將當頭還給人，仰望偶像，並行可憎的事，
13That giveth upon usury, and that taketh an increase: shall such a one live? he shall not live. Seeing he hath done all these detestable things, he shall surely die, his blood shall be upon him.
13向借錢的 弟兄 取利，向借糧的弟兄多要－這人豈能存活呢？他必不能存活。他行這一切可憎的事，必要死亡，他的罪必歸到他身上。
14But if he beget a son, who, seeing all his father’s sins, which he hath done, is afraid, and shall not do the like to them:
14「他若生一個兒子，見父親所犯的一切罪便懼怕，不照樣去做；
15That hath not eaten upon the mountains, nor lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, and hath not defiled his neighbour’s wife:
15未曾在山上吃過 祭偶像之物 ，未曾仰望 以色列 家的偶像，未曾玷污鄰舍的妻，
16And hath not grieved any man, nor withholden the pledge, nor taken away with violence, but hath given his bread to the hungry, and covered the naked with a garment:
16未曾虧負人，未曾取人的當頭，未曾搶奪人的物件，卻將食物給飢餓的人吃，將衣服給赤身的人穿，
17That hath turned away his hand from injuring the poor, hath not taken usury and increase, but hath executed my judgments, and hath walked in my commandments: this man shall not die for the iniquity of his father, but living he shall live.
17縮手不害貧窮人，未曾向借錢的 弟兄 取利，也未曾向借糧的 弟兄 多要；他順從我的典章，遵行我的律例，就不因父親的罪孽死亡，定要存活。
18As for his father, because he oppressed and offered violence to his brother, and wrought evil in the midst of his people, behold he is dead in his own iniquity.
18至於他父親；因為欺人太甚，搶奪弟兄，在本國的民中行不善，他必因自己的罪孽死亡。
19And you say: Why hath not the son borne the iniquity of his father? Verily, because the son hath wrought judgment and justice, hath kept all my commandments, and done them, living, he shall live.
19「你們還說：『兒子為何不擔當父親的罪孽呢？』兒子行正直與合理的事，謹守遵行我的一切律例，他必定存活。
20The soul that sinneth, the same shall die: the son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, and the father shall not bear the iniquity of the son: the justice of the just shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
20惟有犯罪的，他必死亡。兒子必不擔當父親的罪孽，父親也不擔當兒子的罪孽。義人的善果必歸自己，惡人的惡報也必歸自己。
21But if the wicked do penance for all his sins which he hath committed, and keep all my commandments, and do judgment, and justice, living he shall live, and shall not die.
21「惡人若回頭離開所做的一切罪惡，謹守我一切的律例，行正直與合理的事，他必定存活，不致死亡。
22I will not remember all his iniquities that he hath done: in his justice which he hath wrought, he shall live.
22他所犯的一切罪過都不被記念，因所行的義，他必存活。
23Is it my will that a sinner should die, saith the Lord God, and not that he should be converted from his ways, and live?
23主耶和華說：惡人死亡，豈是我喜悅的嗎？不是喜悅他回頭離開所行的道存活嗎？
24But if the just man turn himself away from his justice, and do iniquity according to all the abominations which the wicked man useth to work, shall he live? all his justices which he hath done, shall not be remembered: in the prevarication, by which he hath prevaricated, and in his sin, which he hath committed, in them he shall die.
24義人若轉離義行而作罪孽，照着惡人所行一切可憎的事而行，他豈能存活嗎？他所行的一切義都不被記念；他必因所犯的罪、所行的惡死亡。
25And you have said: The way of the Lord is not right. Hear ye, therefore, O house of Israel: Is it my way that is not right, and are not rather your ways perverse?
25「你們還說：『主的道不公平！』 以色列 家啊，你們當聽，我的道豈不公平嗎？你們的道豈不是不公平嗎？
26For when the just turneth himself away from his justice, and committeth iniquity, he shall die therein: in the injustice that he hath wrought he shall die.
26義人若轉離義行而作罪孽死亡，他是因所作的罪孽死亡。
27And when the wicked turneth himself away from his wickedness, which he hath wrought, and doeth judgment, and justice: he shall save his soul alive.
27再者，惡人若回頭離開所行的惡，行正直與合理的事，他必將性命救活了。
28Because he considereth and turneth away himself from all his iniquities which he hath wrought, he shall surely live, and not die.
28因為他思量，回頭離開所犯的一切罪過，必定存活，不致死亡。
29And the children of Israel say: The way of the Lord is not right. Are not my ways right, O house of Israel, and are not rather your ways perverse?
29以色列 家還說：『主的道不公平！』 以色列 家啊，我的道豈不公平嗎？你們的道豈不是不公平嗎？」
30Therefore will I judge every man according to his ways, O house of Israel, saith the Lord God. Be converted, and do penance for all your iniquities: and iniquity shall not be your ruin.
30所以主耶和華說：「 以色列 家啊，我必按你們各人所行的審判你們。你們當回頭離開所犯的一切罪過。這樣，罪孽必不使你們敗亡。
31Cast away from you all your transgressions, by which you have transgressed, and make to yourselves a new heart, and a new spirit: and why will you die, O house of Israel?
31你們要將所犯的一切罪過盡行拋棄，自做一個新心和新靈。 以色列 家啊，你們何必死亡呢？
32For I desire not the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord God, return ye and live.
32主耶和華說：我不喜悅那死人之死，所以你們當回頭而存活。」
