And for his sin that he has sinned,
For them he dies.

FBV But if someone who is living according to what's right stops and does wrong, doing the same offensive things as the wicked, will that person live? Of course not! In fact, all the good things they did previously will be forgotten. That person will die because of their betrayal of me and the sins they've committed.

T4T But if a righteous person stops doing righteous things and starts to commit sins and does the same detestable things that wicked people do, he will certainly not [RHQ] be allowed to remain alive.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

(Occurrence 0) then will he live?

(Some words not found in UHB: and,in/on/at/with,turns law-abiding/just from,righteousness,his and,commits injustice according_to,all the,detestable_things which/who he/it_had_made the,wicked he/it_made/did and,live all/each/any/every righteous_deeds,his which/who he/it_had_made not remembered in/on/at/with,treachery,his which/who guilty and,in/on/at/with,sin,his which/who committed in/on/at/with,them die )

Yahweh asks this rhetorical question to emphasize the negative answer. Alternate translation: “then he will surely not live.”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

(Occurrence 0) All the righteousness that he had done will not be called to mind

The idiom “call to mind” means to remember. If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “I will not remember all the righteousness that he had done” (See also: figs-activepassive)

(Occurrence 0) treason

crime done against a country or against God, by someone who is expected to be loyal

(Occurrence 0) he will die in the sins

Alternate translation: “he will die because of the sins”
