Elberfelder Bibel (ELB)Deutsch
Die Seele, welche sündigt, die soll sterben. Ein Sohn soll nicht die Ungerechtigkeit des Vaters mittragen, und ein Vater nicht die Ungerechtigkeit des Sohnes mittragen; die Gerechtigkeit des Gerechten soll auf ihm sein, und die Gesetzlosigkeit des Gesetzlosen soll auf ihm sein.
Reina-Valera (RV)Español
El alma que pecare, esa morirá: el hijo no llevará por el pecado del padre, ni el padre llevará por el pecado del hijo: la justicia del justo será sobre él, y la impiedad del impío será sobre él.
Bíblia Livre (BL)Português
A alma que pecar, essa morrerá; o filho não será punido pela maldade do pai, nem o pai será punido pela maldade do filho; a justiça do justo será sobre ele, e a perversidade do perverso será sobre ele.
Nova Versão (NVA)Português
Aquele que pecar é o que morrerá. Um filho não carregará a iniquidade do seu pai e o pai não carregará a iniquidade do seu filho. A retidão de quem age retamente, nele mesmo, estará; e a corrupção do mau estará nele mesmo.
📖 Ezekiel 18:20 in Context
18As 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.
19Yet 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.
20The 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.
21But 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.
22All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live.
