حِزْقِيَال 34

١ 1 وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا:

And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

٢ 2 «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، تَنَبَّأْ عَلَى رُعَاةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، تَنَبَّأْ وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ لِلرُّعَاةِ: وَيْلٌ لِرُعَاةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَرْعَوْنَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ. أَلَا يَرْعَى ٱلرُّعَاةُ ٱلْغَنَمَ؟

Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say to them, Thus saith the Lord GOD to the shepherds; Woe [be] to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the flocks?

٣ 3 تَأْكُلُونَ ٱلشَّحْمَ، وَتَلْبَسُونَ ٱلصُّوفَ وَتَذْبَحُونَ ٱلسَّمِينَ، وَلَا تَرْعَوْنَ ٱلْغَنَمَ.

Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe yourselves with the wool, ye kill them that are fed: [but] ye feed not the flock.

٤ 4 ٱلْمَرِيضُ لَمْ تُقَوُّوهُ، وَٱلْمَجْرُوحُ لَمْ تَعْصِبُوهُ، وَٱلْمَكْسُورُ لَمْ تَجْبُرُوهُ، وَٱلْمَطْرُودُ لَمْ تَسْتَرِدُّوهُ، وَٱلضَّالُّ لَمْ تَطْلُبُوهُ، بَلْ بِشِدَّةٍ وَبِعُنْفٍ تَسَلَّطْتُمْ عَلَيْهِمْ.

The diseased ye have not strengthened, neither have ye healed that which was sick, neither have ye bound up [that which was] broken, neither have ye brought again that which was driven away, neither have ye sought that which was lost; but with force and with cruelty have ye ruled them.

٥ 5 فَتَشَتَّتَتْ بِلَا رَاعٍ وَصَارَتْ مَأْكَلًا لِجَمِيعِ وُحُوشِ ٱلْحَقْلِ، وَتَشَتَّتَتْ.

And they were scattered, because [there is] no shepherd: and they became food to all the beasts of the field, when they were scattered.

٦ 6 ضَلَّتْ غَنَمِي فِي كُلِّ ٱلْجِبَالِ، وَعَلَى كُلِّ تَلٍّ عَالٍ، وَعَلَى كُلِّ وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. تَشَتَّتَتْ غَنَمِي وَلَمْ يَكُنْ مَنْ يَسْأَلُ أَوْ يُفَتِّشُ.

My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill: yes, my flock was scattered upon all the face of the earth, and none did search or seek [for them].

٧ 7 «فَلِذَلِكَ أَيُّهَا ٱلرُّعَاةُ ٱسْمَعُوا كَلَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ:

Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD;

٨ 8 حَيٌّ أَنَا، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ، مِنْ حَيْثُ إِنَّ غَنَمِي صَارَتْ غَنِيمَةً وَصَارَتْ غَنَمِي مَأْكَلًا لِكُلِّ وَحْشِ ٱلْحَقْلِ، إِذْ لَمْ يَكُنْ رَاعٍ وَلَا سَأَلَ رُعَاتِي عَنْ غَنَمِي، وَرَعَى ٱلرُّعَاةُ أَنْفُسَهُمْ وَلَمْ يَرْعَوْا غَنَمِي،

[As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely because my flock became a prey, and my flock became food to every beast of the field, because [there was] no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flock;

٩ 9 فَلِذَلِكَ أَيُّهَا ٱلرُّعَاةُ ٱسْمَعُوا كَلَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ:

Therefore, O ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD;

١٠ 10 هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَأَنَذَا عَلَى ٱلرُّعَاةِ وَأَطْلُبُ غَنَمِي مِنْ يَدِهِمْ، وَأَكُفُّهُمْ عَنْ رَعْيِ ٱلْغَنَمِ، وَلَا يَرْعَى ٱلرُّعَاةُ أَنْفُسَهُمْ بَعْدُ، فَأُخَلِّصُ غَنَمِي مِنْ أَفْوَاهِهِمْ فَلَا تَكُونُ لَهُمْ مَأْكَلًا.

Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I [am] against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be food for them.

١١ 11 لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَأَنَذَا أَسْأَلُ عَنْ غَنَمِي وَأَفْتَقِدُهَا.

For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [even] I, will both search for my sheep, and seek them out.

١٢ 12 كَمَا يَفْتَقِدُ ٱلرَّاعِي قَطِيعَهُ يَوْمَ يَكُونُ فِي وَسْطِ غَنَمِهِ ٱلْمُشَتَّتَةِ، هَكَذَا أَفْتَقِدُ غَنَمِي وَأُخَلِّصُهَا مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلْأَمَاكِنِ ٱلَّتِي تَشَتَّتَتْ إِلَيْهَا فِي يَوْمِ ٱلْغَيْمِ وَٱلضَّبَابِ.

As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep [that are] scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.

١٣ 13 وَأُخْرِجُهَا مِنَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ وَأَجْمَعُهَا مِنَ ٱلْأَرَاضِي، وَآتِي بِهَا إِلَى أَرْضِهَا وَأَرْعَاهَا عَلَى جِبَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَفِي ٱلْأَوْدِيَةِ وَفِي جَمِيعِ مَسَاكِنِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhabited places of the country.

١٤ 14 أَرْعَاهَا فِي مَرْعًى جَيِّدٍ، وَيَكُونُ مَرَاحُهَا عَلَى جِبَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلْعَالِيَةِ. هُنَالِكَ تَرْبُضُ فِي مَرَاحٍ حَسَنٍ، وَفِي مَرْعًى دَسِمٍ يَرْعَوْنَ عَلَى جِبَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie in a good fold, and [in] a fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel.

١٥ 15 أَنَا أَرْعَى غَنَمِي وَأُرْبِضُهَا، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord GOD.

١٦ 16 وَأَطْلُبُ ٱلضَّالَّ، وَأَسْتَرِدُّ ٱلْمَطْرُودَ، وَأَجْبِرُ ٱلْكَسِيرَ، وَأَعْصِبُ ٱلْجَرِيحَ، وَأُبِيدُ ٱلسَّمِينَ وَٱلْقَوِيَّ، وَأَرْعَاهَا بِعَدْلٍ.

I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up [that which was] broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but I will destroy the fat and the strong; I will feed them with judgment.

١٧ 17 وَأَنْتُمْ يَا غَنَمِي، فَهَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَأَنَذَا أَحْكُمُ بَيْنَ شَاةٍ وَشَاةٍ، بَيْنَ كِبَاشٍ وَتُيُوسٍ.

And [as for] you, O my flock, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I judge between cattle and cattle, between the rams and the he-goats.

١٨ 18 أَهُوَ صَغِيرٌ عِنْدَكُمْ أَنْ تَرْعَوْا ٱلْمَرْعَى ٱلْجَيِّدَ، وَبَقِيَّةُ مَرَاعِيكُمْ تَدُوسُونَهَا بِأَرْجُلِكُمْ، وَأَنْ تَشْرَبُوا مِنَ ٱلْمِيَاهِ ٱلْعَمِيقَةِ، وَٱلْبَقِيَّةُ تُكَدِّرُونَهَا بِأَقْدَامِكُمْ؟

[Seemeth it] a small thing to you to have eaten up the good pasture, but ye must tread down with your feet the residue of your pastures? and to have drank of the deep waters, but ye must foul the residue with your feet?

١٩ 19 وَغَنَمِي تَرْعَى مِنْ دَوْسِ أَقْدَامِكُمْ، وَتَشْرَبُ مِنْ كَدَرِ أَرْجُلِكُمْ!

And [as for] my flock, they eat that which ye have trodden with your feet; and they drink that which ye have fouled with your feet.

٢٠ 20 «لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ لَهُمْ: هَأَنَذَا أَحْكُمُ بَيْنَ ٱلشَّاةِ ٱلسَّمِينَةِ وَٱلشَّاةِ ٱلْمَهْزُولَةِ.

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD to them; Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat cattle and between the lean cattle.

٢١ 21 لِأَنَّكُمْ بَهَزْتُمْ بِٱلْجَنْبِ وَٱلْكَتِفِ، وَنَطَحْتُمُ ٱلْمَرِيضَةَ بِقُرُونِكُمْ حَتَّى شَتَّتْمُوهَا إِلَى خَارِجٍ.

Because ye have thrust with side and with shoulder, and pushed all the diseased with your horns, till ye have scattered them abroad;

٢٢ 22 فَأُخَلِّصُ غَنَمِي فَلَا تَكُونُ مِنْ بَعْدُ غَنِيمَةً، وَأَحْكُمُ بَيْنَ شَاةٍ وَشَاةٍ.

Therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between cattle and cattle.

٢٣ 23 وَأُقِيمُ عَلَيْهَا رَاعِيًا وَاحِدًا فَيَرْعَاهَا عَبْدِي دَاوُدُ، هُوَ يَرْعَاهَا وَهُوَ يَكُونُ لَهَا رَاعِيًا.

And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, [even] my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.

٢٤ 24 وَأَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ أَكُونُ لَهُمْ إِلَهًا، وَعَبْدِي دَاوُدُ رَئِيسًا فِي وَسْطِهِمْ. أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ تَكَلَّمْتُ.

And I the LORD will be their God, and my servant David a prince among them; I the LORD have spoken [it].

٢٥ 25 وَأَقْطَعُ مَعَهُمْ عَهْدَ سَلَامٍ، وَأَنْزِعُ ٱلْوُحُوشَ ٱلرَّدِيئَةَ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَيَسْكُنُونَ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ مُطْمَئِنِّينَ وَيَنَامُونَ فِي ٱلْوُعُورِ.

And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell safely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.

٢٦ 26 وَأَجْعَلُهُمْ وَمَا حَوْلَ أَكَمَتِي بَرَكَةً، وَأُنْزِلُ عَلَيْهِمِ ٱلْمَطَرَ فِي وَقْتِهِ فَتَكُونُ أَمْطَارَ بَرَكَةٍ.

And I will make them and the places around my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in its season; there shall be showers of blessing.

٢٧ 27 وَتُعْطِي شَجَرَةُ ٱلْحَقْلِ ثَمَرَتَهَا، وَتُعْطِي ٱلْأَرْضُ غَلَّتَهَا، وَيَكُونُونَ آمِنِينَ فِي أَرْضِهِمْ، وَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ عِنْدَ تَكْسِيرِي رُبُطَ نِيرِهِمْ، وَإِذَا أَنْقَذْتُهُمْ مِنْ يَدِ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱسْتَعْبَدُوهُمْ.

And the tree of the field shall yield her fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase, and they shall be safe in their land, and shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I have broken the bands of their yoke, and delivered them out of the hand of those that subjected them to service.

٢٨ 28 فَلَا يَكُونُونَ بَعْدُ غَنِيمَةً لِلْأُمَمِ، وَلَا يَأْكُلُهُمْ وَحْشُ ٱلْأَرْضِ، بَلْ يَسْكُنُونَ آمِنِينَ وَلَا مُخِيفٌ.

And they shall no more be a prey to the heathen, neither shall the beast of the land devour them; but they shall dwell safely, and none shall make [them] afraid.

٢٩ 29 وَأُقِيمُ لَهُمْ غَرْسًا لِصِيتٍ فَلَا يَكُونُونَ بَعْدُ مَفْنِيِّي ٱلْجُوعِ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَلَا يَحْمِلُونَ بَعْدُ تَعْيِيرَ ٱلْأُمَمِ.

And I will raise up for them a plant of renown, and they shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land, neither bear the shame of the heathen any more.

٣٠ 30 فَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُهُمْ مَعَهُمْ، وَهُمْ شَعْبِي بَيْتُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

Thus shall they know that I the LORD their God [am] with them, and [that] they, [even] the house of Israel, [are] my people, saith the Lord GOD.

٣١ 31 وَأَنْتُمْ يَا غَنَمِي، غَنَمُ مَرْعَايَ، أُنَاسٌ أَنْتُمْ. أَنَا إِلَهُكُمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ».

And ye my flock, the flock of my pasture, [are] men, [and] I [am] your God, saith the Lord GOD.
