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.
Ou menm, nonm o! Men sa w'a di moun ou yo: Yon moun te mèt bon kou l' bon, li te mèt mache dwat kou l' mache dwat, jou li fè sa ki mal, li gen pou l' peye sa. Jou mechan an va sispann fè sa ki mal, yo p'ap pini l' pou sa li te konn fè a. Konsa tou, lè yon moun ki t'ap mache dwat pran fè sa ki mal, yo p'ap gade sou jan l' te konn mache dwat la pou yo pa fè l' peye sa l' fè a.
