Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?

So sprich zu ihnen: So wahr als ich lebe, spricht der Herr, HERR, ich habe keinen Gefallen am Tode des Gottlosen, sondern daß sich der Gottlose bekehre von seinem Wesen und lebe. So bekehret euch doch nun von eurem bösen Wesen. Warum wollt ihr sterben, ihr vom Hause Israel?
Diles: Vivo yo, dice el Señor Jehová, que no quiero la muerte del impío, sino que se torne el impío de su camino, y que viva. Volveos, volveos de vuestros caminos: ¿y por qué moriréis, oh casa de Israel?
Diles: Tan cierto como que vivo yo, declara el Señor Jehová, no me complazco en la muerte del malvado, sino en que el malvado se aparte de su camino y viva. ¡Apártense, apártense de sus malos caminos! ¿Por qué han de morir, casa de Israel?
Dis-leur: je suis vivant! dit le Seigneur, l'Eternel, ce que je désire, ce n'est pas que le méchant meure, c'est qu'il change de conduite et qu'il vive. Revenez, revenez de votre mauvaise voie; et pourquoi mourriez-vous, maison d'Israël?
Di’ loro: Come io vivo, dice il Signore Iddio, io non prendo diletto nella morte dell’empio: anzi prendo diletto che l’empio si converta dalla sua via, e che viva; convertitevi, convertitevi dalle vostre vie malvage: e perchè morreste voi, o casa d’Israele?
Dize-lhes: Vivo eu, diz o Senhor DEUS, que não tenho prazer na morte do ímpio, mas em que o ímpio se converta do seu caminho, e viva. Convertei-vos, convertei-vos dos vossos maus caminhos; pois, por que razão morrereis, ó casa de Israel?
你要對他們說,主耶和華說:我指著我的永生起誓,我斷不喜悅惡人死亡,惟喜悅惡人轉離他所行的道而存活。 以色列 家啊,你們回轉,回轉離開惡道吧!何必死亡呢?
