Ezekiel 34
1 A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
耶和華的話臨到我說：
2 “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?
「人子啊，你要向以色列的牧人發預言，攻擊他們，說，主耶和華如此說：禍哉！以色列的牧人只知牧養自己。牧人豈不當牧養群羊嗎？
3 You eat the cream, you use the wool for clothes, and you slaughter the fattened sheep, but you don't feed the flock.
你們吃脂油、穿羊毛、宰肥壯的，卻不牧養群羊。
4 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.
瘦弱的，你們沒有養壯；有病的，你們沒有醫治；受傷的，你們沒有纏裹；被逐的，你們沒有領回；失喪的，你們沒有尋找；但用強暴嚴嚴地轄制。
5 They were scattered because they didn't have a shepherd. When they scattered they were preyed on by all the wild animals for food.
因無牧人，羊就分散；既分散，便作了一切野獸的食物。
6 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.
我的羊在諸山間、在各高岡上流離，在全地上分散，無人去尋，無人去找。
7 So, you shepherds, listen to what the Lord has to say:
「所以，你們這些牧人要聽耶和華的話。
8 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,
主耶和華說：我指着我的永生起誓，我的羊因無牧人就成為掠物，也作了一切野獸的食物。我的牧人不尋找我的羊；這些牧人只知牧養自己，並不牧養我的羊。
9 so, you shepherds, you listen to what the Lord has to say!
所以你們這些牧人要聽耶和華的話。
10 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.
主耶和華如此說：我必與牧人為敵，必向他們的手追討我的羊，使他們不再牧放群羊；牧人也不再牧養自己。我必救我的羊脫離他們的口，不再作他們的食物。」
11 For this is what the Lord God says: Watch as I myself will go looking for my sheep, searching to find them.
「主耶和華如此說：看哪，我必親自尋找我的羊，將牠們尋見。
12 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.
牧人在羊群四散的日子怎樣尋找他的羊，我必照樣尋找我的羊。這些羊在密雲黑暗的日子散到各處，我必從那裏救回牠們來。
13 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.
我必從萬民中領出牠們，從各國內聚集牠們，引導牠們歸回故土，也必在以色列山上－一切溪水旁邊、境內一切可居之處－牧養牠們。
14 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.
我必在美好的草場牧養牠們。牠們的圈必在以色列高處的山上，牠們必在佳美之圈中躺臥，也在以色列山肥美的草場吃草。
15 I myself will look after my sheep and give them a place to rest, declares the Lord God.
主耶和華說：我必親自作我羊的牧人，使牠們得以躺臥。
16 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.
失喪的，我必尋找；被逐的，我必領回；受傷的，我必纏裹；有病的，我必醫治；只是肥的壯的，我必除滅，也要秉公牧養牠們。
17 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.
「我的羊群哪，論到你們，主耶和華如此說：我必在羊與羊中間、公綿羊與公山羊中間施行判斷。
18 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?
你們這些肥壯的羊，在美好的草場吃草還以為小事嗎？剩下的草，你們竟用蹄踐踏了；你們喝清水，剩下的水，你們竟用蹄攪渾了。
19 Why does my flock have to feed on what your feet have trampled down, and drink the water that your feet have muddied?
至於我的羊，只得吃你們所踐踏的，喝你們所攪渾的。
20 That's why the Lord God says to them: Watch, because I myself will judge between the fat sheep and the skinny sheep.
「所以，主耶和華如此說：我必在肥羊和瘦羊中間施行判斷。
21 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,
因為你們用脅用肩擁擠一切瘦弱的，又用角牴觸，以致使牠們四散。
22 I will rescue my flock, and they will no longer be your victims. I will judge between one sheep and the next.
所以，我必拯救我的群羊不再作掠物；我也必在羊和羊中間施行判斷。
23 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.
我必立一牧人照管他們，牧養他們，就是我的僕人大衛。他必牧養他們，作他們的牧人。
24 I the Lord will be their God, and my servant David will be their leader. I the Lord have spoken.
我－耶和華必作他們的上帝，我的僕人大衛必在他們中間作王。這是耶和華說的。
25 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.
「我必與他們立平安的約，使惡獸從境內斷絕，他們就必安居在曠野，躺臥在林中。
26 I will bless them and everywhere around my hill. I will send rain at the right time. They will be showers of blessing.
我必使他們與我山的四圍成為福源，我也必叫時雨落下，必有福如甘霖而降。
27 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.
田野的樹必結果，地也必有出產；他們必在故土安然居住。我折斷他們所負的軛，救他們脫離那以他們為奴之人的手；那時，他們就知道我是耶和華。
28 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.
他們必不再作外邦人的掠物，地上的野獸也不再吞吃他們；卻要安然居住，無人驚嚇。
29 I will make their fields produce remarkable harvests, and they won't suffer famine in their country again or be mocked by others.
我必給他們興起有名的植物；他們在境內不再為饑荒所滅，也不再受外邦人的羞辱，
30 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.
必知道我、耶和華－他們的上帝是與他們同在的，並知道他們－以色列家是我的民。這是主耶和華說的。
31 You are my sheep, the sheep that I feed. You are my people, and I am your God, declares the Lord God.”
你們作我的羊，我草場上的羊，乃是以色列人，我也是你們的上帝。這是主耶和華說的。」
