Jezekiel 34
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
上主的話傳給我說：「
2 Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say to the shepherds, Thus saith the Lord God; O shepherds of Israel, do shepherds feed themselves? do not the shepherds feed the sheep?
人子，你應說預言攻斥以色列的牧者，向他們講預言說：吾主上主這樣說：禍哉以色列的牧者! 你們只知牧養自己；牧人豈不應該牧養羊群﹖
3 Behold, ye feed on the milk, and clothe yourselves with the wool, and slay the fat: but ye feed not my sheep.
你們吃羊奶，穿羊毛衣，宰肥羊，卻不牧養羊群：
4 The weak one ye have not strengthened, and the sick ye have not cherished, and the bruised ye have not bound up, and the stray one ye have not turned back, and the lost ye have not sought; and the strong ye have wearied with labour.
瘦弱的，你們不扶養；患病的，你們不醫治；受傷的，你們不包紮；迷路的，你們不領回；遺失的，你們不尋找，反而用強力和殘暴去管治他們。
5 And my sheep were scattered, because there were no shepherds: and they became meat to all the wild beasts of the field.
因為沒有牧人，羊都四散了；羊四散後，便成了一切野獸的食物。
6 And my sheep were scattered on every mountain, and on every high hill: yea, they were scattered on the face of the earth, and there was none to seek them out, nor to bring them back.
我的羊在群山峻嶺中迷了路，我的羊四散在全地面上，沒有人去尋，沒有人去找。
7 Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the Lord.
為此牧者啊，聽上主的話罷!
8 [As] I live, saith the Lord God, surely because my sheep became a prey, and my sheep became meat to all the wild beasts of the field, because there were no shepherds, and the shepherds sought not out my sheep, and the shepherds fed themselves, but fed not my sheep.
我指著我的生命起誓──吾主上主的斷語──因為我的羊群由於沒有牧者，成了獵物；我的羊群成了一切野獸的食物，因為我的牧者不尋找我的羊，只知牧養自己，而不牧養我的羊：
9 For this cause, O shepherds,
為此，牧者啊，聽上主的話罷!
10 thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my sheep at their hands, and will turn them back that they shall not feed my sheep, and the shepherds shall no longer feed them; and I will deliver my sheep out of their mouth, and they shall no longer be meat for them.
吾主上主這樣說：我要攻擊那些牧者，從他們手裏追討我的羊，我不再讓他們牧放羊群；這樣，牧者便不能再牧養自己了；我要從他們口中救出我的羊，不再作他們的食物。
11 For thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I will seek out my sheep, and will visit them.
因為吾主上主這樣說：看，我要親自去尋找我的羊，我要親自照顧我的羊。
12 As the shepherd seeks his flock, in the day when there is darkness and cloud, in the midst of the sheep that are separated: so will I seek out my sheep, and will bring them back from every place where they were scattered in the day of cloud and darkness.
猶如牧人在羊群失散的那日怎樣尋找他的羊，我也怎樣尋找我的羊；我要把那些曾在陰雲和黑暗之日四散在各地的羊，從那些地方救回來。
13 And I will bring them out from the Gentiles, and will gather them from the countries, and will bring them into their own land, and will feed them upon the mountains of Israel, and in the valleys, and in every inhabited place of the land.
我要從各民族中將他們領出，從各國將他們聚集起來，領他們回到自己的地域；我要在以色列的群山上，溪水畔，以及本國的一切牧場上牧放他們。
14 I will feed them in a good pasture, on a high mountain of Israel: and their folds shall be there, and they shall lie down, and there shall they rest in perfect prosperity, and they shall feed in a fat pasture on the mountains of Israel.
我要在茂盛的草原上牧放他們，在以色列的高山上有他們的羊棧，在那裏他們要臥在舒適的羊棧裏，在以色列的群山上，在肥美的牧場上吃草。
15 I will feed my sheep, and I will cause them to rest; and they shall know that I am the Lord: thus saith the Lord God.
我要親自牧放我的羊，親自使他們臥下──吾主上主的斷語──
16 I will seek that which is lost, and I will recover the stray one, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen the fainting, and will guard the strong, and will feed them with judgment.
失落的我要尋找；迷路的，我要領回；受傷的，我要包紮；病弱的，我要療養；肥胖和強壯的，我要看守；我要按正義牧放他們。
17 And [as for] you, ye sheep, thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I will distinguish between sheep and sheep, [between] rams and he-goats.
我的羊群啊! 關於你們，吾主上主這樣說：看，我要在羊與羊，綿羊與山羊之間，施行審判。
18 And [is it] not enough for you that ye fed on the good pasture, that ye trampled with your feet the remnant of your pasture? and [that] ye drank the standing water, [that] ye disturbed the residue with your feet?
你們在茂盛的草場上吃飽後，就用蹄子把吃剩的踐踏；喝足了清水，就用蹄子把剩下的弄髒，你們還以為是件小事嗎﹖
19 So my sheep fed on that which ye had trampled with your feet; and they drank the water that had been disturbed by your feet.
我的羊群就該吃你們蹄子踏過的草，喝你們蹄子弄髒的水﹖
20 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will separate between the strong sheep and the weak sheep.
為此，吾主上主向他們這樣說：看我要，親自在肥羊與瘦羊之間施行審判，
21 Ye did thrust with your sides and shoulders, and pushed with your horns, and ye cruelly treated all the sick.
因為你們用臀部，和肩膀排擠，用角牴撞一切病弱的，直到把他們趕到外面；
22 Therefore I will save my sheep, and they shall not be any more for a prey; and will judge between ram and ram.
因此我要拯救我的羊，使之不再作獵物；我要在羊與羊之間施行審判。
23 And I will raise up one shepherd over them, and he shall tend them, [even] my servant David, and he shall be their shepherd;
我要為他們興起一個牧人，那即是我的僕人達味，他要牧放他們，作他們的牧人。
24 and I the Lord will be to them a God, and David a prince in the midst of them; I the Lord have spoken it.
我，上主要作他們的天主，我的僕人達味在他們中作領袖：這是我上主說的。
25 And I will make with David a covenant of peace and I will utterly destroy evil beasts from off the land; and they shall dwell in the wilderness, and sleep in the forests.
我要同他們訂立平安盟約，使猛獸由那地上滅絕，他們便可在曠野中安居，在森林裏安眠。
26 And I will settle them round about my mountain; and I will give you the rain, the rain of blessing.
我要祝福他們和我山丘的四周，按時降雨，那是滿帶幸福的雨；
27 And the trees that are in the field shall yield their fruit, and the earth shall yield her strength, and they shall dwell in the confidence of peace on their land, and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have broken their yoke; and I will deliver them out of the hand of those that enslaved them.
因此田間的樹木要結果，地要有出產；他們將安居在本鄉。當我打斷他們所負的軛，由奴役他們者的手中救出他們時，他們必承認我是上主。
28 And they shall no more be a spoil to the nations, and the wild beasts of the land shall no more at all devour them; and they shall dwell safely, and there shall be none to make them afraid.
他們不再作異民的獵物，地裏的野獸也不吞噬他們，他們反而要安居樂業，不再受人恐嚇。
29 And I will raise up for them a plant of peace, and they shall no more perish with hunger upon the land, and they shall no more bear the reproach of the nations.
我要使植物為他們而茂盛，他們在這地上不再為飢荒所消滅，也不再受異民的羞辱：
30 And they shall know that I am the Lord their God, and they my people. O house of Israel, saith the Lord God,
如此，他們必承認我上主是他們的天主，且與他們同在，而他們──以色列家族，是我的百姓──吾主上主的斷語──
31 ye are my sheep, even the sheep of my flock, and I am the Lord your God, saith the Lord God.
你們作我的羊群，是我牧場上的羊群；我是你們的天主──吾主上主的斷語。」
