< Ezekiel 34 >

1 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
2 Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy; and say unto them, unto the shepherds, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Woe to the shepherds of Israel that feed themselves! Should not the shepherds feed the flock?
Fili hominis propheta de pastoribus Israel: propheta, et dices pastoribus: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Vae pastoribus Israel, qui pascebant semetipsos: nonne greges a pastoribus pascuntur?
3 Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool; ye kill them that are fattened: [but] ye feed not the flock.
Lac comedebatis, et lanis operiebamini, et quod crassum erat occidebatis: gregem autem meum non pascebatis.
4 The weak have ye not strengthened, nor have ye healed the sick, and ye have not bound up [what was] broken, neither have ye brought again that which was driven away, neither have ye sought for that which was lost; but with harshness and with rigour have ye ruled over them.
Quod infirmum fuit non consolidastis, et quod aegrotum non sanastis, quod confractum est non alligastis, et quod abiectum est non reduxistis, et quod perierat non quaesistis: sed cum austeritate imperabatis eis, et cum potentia.
5 And they were scattered because there was no shepherd; and they became meat to all the beasts of the field, and were scattered.
Et dispersae sunt oves meae, eo quod non esset pastor: et factae sunt in devorationem omnium bestiarum agri, et dispersae sunt.
6 My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill, and my sheep have been scattered upon all the face of the earth, and there was none that searched, or that sought for them.
Erraverunt greges mei in cunctis montibus, et in universo colle excelso: et super omnem faciem terrae dispersi sunt greges mei, et non erat qui requireret, non erat, inquam, qui requireret.
7 Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of Jehovah:
Propterea pastores audite verbum Domini:
8 [As] I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, verily because my sheep have been a prey, and my sheep have been meat to every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, and my shepherds searched not for my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flock,
Vivo ego, dicit Dominus Deus: quia pro eo quod facti sunt greges mei in rapinam, et oves meae in devorationem omnium bestiarum agri, eo quod non esset pastor (neque enim quaesierunt pastores mei gregem meum: ) sed pascebant pastores semetipsos, et greges meos non pascebant:
9 — therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of Jehovah.
propterea pastores audite verbum Domini:
10 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my sheep at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock: that the shepherds may feed themselves no more; and I will deliver my sheep from their mouth, that they may not be food for them.
Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego ipse super pastores requiram gregem meum de manu eorum, et cessare faciam eos ut ultra non pascant gregem, nec pascant amplius pastores semetipsos: et liberabo gregem meum de ore eorum: et non erit ultra eis in escam.
11 For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold I, [even] I, will both search for my sheep, and tend them.
Quia haec dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego ipse requiram oves meas, et visitabo eas.
12 As a shepherd tendeth his flock in the day that he is among his scattered sheep, so will I tend my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places whither they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.
Sicut visitat pastor gregem suum in die, quando fuerit in medio ovium suarum dissipatarum: sic visitabo oves meas, et liberabo eas de omnibus locis, in quibus dispersae fuerant in die nubis, et caliginis.
13 And I will bring them out from the peoples, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land; and I will feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the water-courses, and in all the habitable places of the country.
Et educam eas de populis, et congregabo eas de terris, et inducam eas in terram suam: et pascam eas in montibus Israel, in rivis, et in cunctis sedibus terrae.
14 I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie down in a good fold, and in a fat pasture they shall feed upon the mountains of Israel.
In pascuis uberrimis pascam eas, et in montibus excelsis Israel erunt pascua earum: ibi requiescent in herbis virentibus, et in pascuis pinguibus pascentur super montes Israel.
15 I will myself feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord Jehovah.
Ego pascam oves meas: et ego eas accubare faciam, dicit Dominus Deus.
16 I will seek the lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up the broken, and will strengthen that which was sick; but I will destroy the fat and the strong: I will feed them with judgment.
Quod perierat requiram, et quod abiectum erat reducam, et quod confractum fuerat alligabo, et quod infirmum fuerat consolidabo, et quod pingue et forte custodiam: et pascam illas in iudicio.
17 And as for you, my flock, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I judge between sheep and sheep, between the rams and the he-goats.
Vos autem greges mei, haec dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego iudico inter pecus et pecus, arietum, et hircorum.
18 Is it too small a thing unto you to have eaten up the good pastures, but ye must tread down with your feet the rest of your pastures; and to have drunk of the settled waters, but ye must foul the rest with your feet?
Nonne satis vobis erat pascua bona depasci? insuper et reliquias pascuarum vestrarum conculcastis pedibus vestris: et cum purissimam aquam biberetis, reliquam pedibus vestris turbabatis.
19 And my sheep have to eat that which ye have trodden with your feet, and to drink that which ye have fouled with your feet.
Et oves meae his, quae conculcata pedibus vestris fuerant, pascebantur: et quae pedes vestri turbaverant, haec bibebant.
20 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah unto them: Behold, [it is] I, and I will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep.
Propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus ad vos: Ecce ego ipse iudico inter pecus pingue, et macilentum:
21 Because ye thrust with side and with shoulder, and push all the weak ones with your horns, till ye have scattered them abroad,
pro eo quod lateribus, et humeris impingebatis, et cornibus vestris ventilabatis omnia infirma pecora, donec dispergerentur foras:
22 — I will save my flock, that they may no more be a prey; and I will judge between sheep and sheep.
salvabo gregem meum, et non erit ultra in rapinam, et iudicabo inter pecus et pecus.
23 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.
ET SUSCITABO SUPER EAS PASTOREM UNUM, qui pascat eas, servum meum David: ipse pascet eas, et ipse erit eis in pastorem.
24 And I Jehovah will be their God, and my servant David a prince in their midst: I Jehovah have spoken [it].
Ego autem Dominus ero eis in Deum: et servus meus David princeps in medio eorum: ego Dominus locutus sum.
25 And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause evil beasts to cease out of the land; and they shall dwell in safety in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.
Et faciam cum eis pactum pacis, et cessare faciam bestias pessimas de terra: et qui habitant in deserto, securi dormient in saltibus.
26 And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in its season: there shall be showers of blessing.
Et ponam eos in circuitu collis mei benedictionem: et deducam imbrem in tempore suo: et pluviae benedictionis erunt.
27 And the tree of the field shall yield its fruit, and the earth shall yield its increase; and they shall be in safety in their land, and shall know that I [am] Jehovah, when I have broken the bands of their yoke and delivered them out of the hand of those that kept them in servitude.
Et dabit lignum agri fructum suum, et terra dabit germen suum, et erunt in terra sua absque timore: et scient quia ego Dominus, cum contrivero catenas iugi eorum, et eruero eos de manu imperantium sibi.
28 And they shall no more be a prey to the nations, neither shall the beast of the earth devour them; but they shall dwell in safety, and none shall make them afraid.
Et non erunt ultra in rapinam in Gentibus, neque bestiae terrae devorabunt eos: sed habitabunt confidenter absque ullo terrore.
29 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 ignominy of the nations any more.
Et suscitabo eis germen nominatum: et non erunt ultra imminuti fame in terra, neque portabunt ultra opprobrium Gentium.
30 And they shall know that I Jehovah their God [am] with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are my people, saith the Lord Jehovah.
Et scient quia ego Dominus Deus eorum cum eis, et ipsi populus meus domus Israel: ait Dominus Deus.
31 And ye, my flock, the flock of my pasture, are men: I [am] your God, saith the Lord Jehovah.
Vos autem greges mei, greges pascuae meae homines estis: et ego Dominus Deus vester, dicit Dominus Deus.
