以西结书 34
1 耶和华的话临到我说：
A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
2 “人子啊，你要向以色列的牧人发预言，攻击他们，说，主耶和华如此说：祸哉！以色列的牧人只知牧养自己。牧人岂不当牧养群羊吗？
“Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds who lead Israel. Prophesy and tell them that this is what the Lord God says: Disaster is coming to the shepherds of Israel, who only look after themselves, and not the sheep! Shouldn't shepherds make sure their flock is fed?
3 你们吃脂油、穿羊毛、宰肥壮的，却不牧养群羊。
You eat the cream, you use the wool for clothes, and you slaughter the fattened sheep, but you don't feed the flock.
4 瘦弱的，你们没有养壮；有病的，你们没有医治；受伤的，你们没有缠裹；被逐的，你们没有领回；失丧的，你们没有寻找；但用强暴严严地辖制。
You haven't taken care of the weak, healed the sick, bandaged the injured, brought home the strays, or looked for the lost. On the contrary, you ruled them using violence and cruelty.
5 因无牧人，羊就分散；既分散，便作了一切野兽的食物。
They were scattered because they didn't have a shepherd. When they scattered they were preyed on by all the wild animals for food.
6 我的羊在诸山间、在各高冈上流离，在全地上分散，无人去寻，无人去找。
My sheep strayed, going to all the mountains and high hills. They were scattered everywhere, and there was no one to go and look for them.
7 “所以，你们这些牧人要听耶和华的话。
So, you shepherds, listen to what the Lord has to say:
8 主耶和华说：我指着我的永生起誓，我的羊因无牧人就成为掠物，也作了一切野兽的食物。我的牧人不寻找我的羊；这些牧人只知牧养自己，并不牧养我的羊。
As I live, declares the Lord God, because my sheep didn't have a shepherd and were preyed on by all the wild animals for food, and because my shepherds didn't look after my sheep but instead only fed themselves,
9 所以你们这些牧人要听耶和华的话。
so, you shepherds, you listen to what the Lord has to say!
10 主耶和华如此说：我必与牧人为敌，必向他们的手追讨我的羊，使他们不再牧放群羊；牧人也不再牧养自己。我必救我的羊脱离他们的口，不再作他们的食物。”
This is what the Lord God says: Watch out, because I'm condemning the shepherds, and I will take my sheep back and stop them looking after the sheep so they won't be able to feed themselves anymore. I will take away my sheep from them, and I won't let them eat the sheep anymore.
11 “主耶和华如此说：看哪，我必亲自寻找我的羊，将它们寻见。
For this is what the Lord God says: Watch as I myself will go looking for my sheep, searching to find them.
12 牧人在羊群四散的日子怎样寻找他的羊，我必照样寻找我的羊。这些羊在密云黑暗的日子散到各处，我必从那里救回它们来。
Just like a shepherd goes looking for his lost sheep when he is with the flock, so I will look for my sheep. I will rescue them from everywhere they were scattered on a dark and dismal day.
13 我必从万民中领出它们，从各国内聚集它们，引导它们归回故土，也必在以色列山上—一切溪水旁边、境内一切可居之处—牧养它们。
I will take them out from among the other nations. I will gather them from the different countries, and bring them back to their own country. Like a shepherd I will have them feed them on the mountains of Israel, in the valleys and everywhere that people live in the country.
14 我必在美好的草场牧养它们。它们的圈必在以色列高处的山上，它们必在佳美之圈中躺卧，也在以色列山肥美的草场吃草。
I will provide them with good pasture and places to graze in the high mountains of Israel. They will also be able to rest there in the good pasture and in the places to graze in mountains of Israel.
15 主耶和华说：我必亲自作我羊的牧人，使它们得以躺卧。
I myself will look after my sheep and give them a place to rest, declares the Lord God.
16 失丧的，我必寻找；被逐的，我必领回；受伤的，我必缠裹；有病的，我必医治；只是肥的壮的，我必除灭，也要秉公牧养它们。
I will go looking for the lost, bring home the strays, bandage the injured, and strengthen the weak. However, I will destroy those who are fat and strong. Because I do what's right, I will be sure to take care of them.
17 “我的羊群哪，论到你们，主耶和华如此说：我必在羊与羊中间、公绵羊与公山羊中间施行判断。
My flock, this is what the Lord God says to you: Watch, because I will judge between one sheep and the next, between the rams and the goats.
18 你们这些肥壮的羊，在美好的草场吃草还以为小事吗？剩下的草，你们竟用蹄践踏了；你们喝清水，剩下的水，你们竟用蹄搅浑了。
Aren't you satisfied with feeding in good pasture? Do you have to trample down the rest of the pasture with your feet? Aren't you satisfied to drink the clear water? Do you have to muddy the rest of it with your feet?
19 至于我的羊，只得吃你们所践踏的，喝你们所搅浑的。
Why does my flock have to feed on what your feet have trampled down, and drink the water that your feet have muddied?
20 “所以，主耶和华如此说：我必在肥羊和瘦羊中间施行判断。
That's why the Lord God says to them: Watch, because I myself will judge between the fat sheep and the skinny sheep.
21 因为你们用胁用肩拥挤一切瘦弱的，又用角抵触，以致使它们四散。
Since you push others around with your sides and your shoulders, and use your horns to attack all the weak ones until you have chased them away,
22 所以，我必拯救我的群羊不再作掠物；我也必在羊和羊中间施行判断。
I will rescue my flock, and they will no longer be your victims. I will judge between one sheep and the next.
23 我必立一牧人照管他们，牧养他们，就是我的仆人大卫。他必牧养他们，作他们的牧人。
I will put one shepherd in charge of them, my servant David, and he will take care of them. He will take care of them and be their shepherd.
24 我—耶和华必作他们的 神，我的仆人大卫必在他们中间作王。这是耶和华说的。
I the Lord will be their God, and my servant David will be their leader. I the Lord have spoken.
25 “我必与他们立平安的约，使恶兽从境内断绝，他们就必安居在旷野，躺卧在林中。
I will make an agreement of peace with them, and get rid of the wild animals from the country, so that they can live safely in the wilderness and sleep securely in the forest.
26 我必使他们与我山的四围成为福源，我也必叫时雨落下，必有福如甘霖而降。
I will bless them and everywhere around my hill. I will send rain at the right time. They will be showers of blessing.
27 田野的树必结果，地也必有出产；他们必在故土安然居住。我折断他们所负的轭，救他们脱离那以他们为奴之人的手；那时，他们就知道我是耶和华。
The trees in the orchards will produce their fruit; the earth will grow its crops; and my flock will be live in safety in their country. Then they will know that I am the Lord, when I break their yokes of slavery, and set them free from those who made them slaves.
28 他们必不再作外邦人的掠物，地上的野兽也不再吞吃他们；却要安然居住，无人惊吓。
They won't be the victims of other nations anymore, and wild animals won't eat them. They will live in safety, and no one will terrorize them.
29 我必给他们兴起有名的植物；他们在境内不再为饥荒所灭，也不再受外邦人的羞辱，
I will make their fields produce remarkable harvests, and they won't suffer famine in their country again or be mocked by others.
30 必知道我、耶和华—他们的 神是与他们同在的，并知道他们—以色列家是我的民。这是主耶和华说的。
Then they will know that I am with them as the Lord their God, and that the people of Israel belong to me, declares the Lord God.
31 你们作我的羊，我草场上的羊，乃是以色列人，我也是你们的 神。这是主耶和华说的。”
You are my sheep, the sheep that I feed. You are my people, and I am your God, declares the Lord God.”
