Ezekiel 34
1 And the word of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
2 Sonne of man, prophesie against the shepherdes of Israel, prophesie and say vnto them, Thus saieth the Lord God vnto the shepherds, Wo be vnto the shepherds of Israel, that feede them selues: should not the shepherds feede the flockes?
Fili hominis propheta de pastoribus Israel: propheta, et dices pastoribus: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Væ pastoribus Israel, qui pascebant semetipsos: nonne greges a pastoribus pascuntur?
3 Yee eate the fat, and yee clothe you with the wooll: yee kill them that are fed, but ye feede not the sheepe.
Lac comedebatis, et lanis operiebamini, et quod crassum erat occidebatis: gregem autem meum non pascebatis.
4 The weake haue ye not strengthened: the sicke haue ye not healed, neither haue ye bounde vp the broken, nor brought againe that which was driuen away, neither haue yee sought that which was lost, but with crueltie, and with rigour haue yee ruled them.
Quod infirmum fuit non consolidastis, et quod ægrotum non sanastis, quod confractum est non alligastis, et quod abiectum est non reduxistis, et quod perierat non quæsistis: sed cum austeritate imperabatis eis, et cum potentia.
5 And they were scattered without a shepherde: and when they were dispersed, they were deuoured of all the beastes of the fielde.
Et dispersæ sunt oves meæ, eo quod non esset pastor: et factæ sunt in devorationem omnium bestiarum agri, et dispersæ sunt.
6 My sheepe wandred through all the mountaines, and vpon euery hie hill: yea, my flocke was scattered through al the earth, and none did seeke or search after them.
Erraverunt greges mei in cunctis montibus, et in universo colle excelso: et super omnem faciem terræ dispersi sunt greges mei, et non erat qui requireret, non erat, inquam, qui requireret.
7 Therefore ye shepherds, heare the woorde of the Lord.
Propterea pastores audite verbum Domini:
8 As I liue, sayeth the Lord God, surely because my flocke was spoyled, and my sheepe were deuoured of all the beasts of the fielde, hauing no shepherde, neither did my shepherdes seeke my sheepe, but the shepherdes fedde them selues, and fedde not my sheepe,
Vivo ego, dicit Dominus Deus: quia pro eo quod facti sunt greges mei in rapinam, et oves meæ in devorationem omnium bestiarum agri, eo quod non esset pastor (neque enim quæsierunt pastores mei gregem meum) sed pascebant pastores semetipsos, et greges meos non pascebant:
9 Therefore, heare ye the word of the Lord, O ye shepherds.
propterea pastores audite verbum Domini:
10 Thus saieth the Lord God, Behold, I come against the shepherds, and will require my sheepe at their hands, and cause them to cease from feeding the sheepe: neither shall the shepherds feede them selues any more: for I wil deliuer my sheepe from their mouthes, and they shall no more deuoure them.
Hæc 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 sayeth the Lord God, Beholde, I will search my sheepe, and seeke them out.
Quia hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego ipse requiram oves meas, et visitabo eas.
12 As a shepherd searcheth out his flocke, when he hath bene among his sheepe that are scattered, so wil I seeke out my sheepe and wil deliuer them out of all places, where they haue beene scattered in the cloudie and darke 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 dispersæ fuerant in die nubis, et caliginis.
13 And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countreis, and will bring them to their owne lande, and feede them vpon the mountaines of Israel, by the riuers, and in all the inhabited places of the countrey.
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 terræ.
14 I will feede them in a good pasture, and vpon the hie mountaines of Israel shall their folde be: there shall they lie in a good folde and in fat pasture shall they feede vpon the mountaines 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 feede my sheepe, and bring them to their rest, sayth the Lord God.
Ego pascam oves meas: et ego eas accubare faciam, dicit Dominus Deus.
16 I will seeke that which was lost, and bring againe that which was driue away, and will binde vp that which was broken, and will strengthen the weake but I wil destroy the fat and the strong, and I will feede them with iudgement.
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 Also you my sheepe, Thus saieth the Lord God, behold, I iudge betweene sheepe, and sheepe, betweene the rammes and the goates.
Vos autem greges mei, hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego iudico inter pecus et pecus, arietum, et hircorum.
18 Seemeth it a small thing vnto you to haue eaten vp the good pasture, but yee must treade downe with your feete the residue of your pasture? and to haue drunke of the deepe waters, but yee must trouble the residue with your feete?
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 sheepe eate that which yee haue troden with your feete, and drinke that which ye haue troubled with your feete.
Et oves meæ his, quæ conculcata pedibus vestris fuerant, pascebantur: et quæ pedes vestri turbaverant, hæc bibebant.
20 Therefore thus sayth the Lord God vnto them, behold, I, euen I wil iudge betweene the fat sheepe and the leane sheepe.
Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus ad vos: Ecce ego ipse iudico inter pecus pingue, et macilentum:
21 Because ye haue thrust with side and with shoulder, and pusht al the weake with your hornes, till ye haue scattered them abroade,
pro eo quod lateribus, et humeris impingebatis, et cornibus vestris ventilabatis omnia infirma pecora, donec dispergerentur foras:
22 Therefore wil I helpe my sheepe, and they shall no more be spoyled, and I wil iudge betweene sheepe and sheepe.
salvabo gregem meum, et non erit ultra in rapinam, et iudicabo inter pecus et pecus.
23 And I wil set vp a shepherd ouer them, and he shall feede them, euen my seruant Dauid, he shall feede them, and he shalbe 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 the Lord will be their God, and my seruant Dauid shalbe the prince amog them. I the Lord haue 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 couenant of peace, and will cause the euil beastes to cease out of the land: and they shall dwel safely in the wildernesse, and sleepe 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 wil set them, as a blessing, euen roud about my mountaine: and I will cause rayne to come downe in due season, and there shalbe raine of blessing.
Et ponam eos in circuitu collis mei benedictionem: et deducam imbrem in tempore suo: pluviæ benedictionis erunt.
27 And the tree of the fielde shall yeeld her fruite, and the earth shall giue her fruite, and they shalbe safe in their land, and shall know that I am the Lord, when I haue broken the cordes of their yoke, and deliuered them out of the hands of those that serued themselues of them.
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 spoyled of the heathen, neither shall the beastes of the land deuoure them, but they shall dwell safely and none shall make them afrayd.
Et non erunt ultra in rapinam in Gentibus, neque bestiæ terræ devorabunt eos: sed habitabunt confidenter absque ullo terrore.
29 And I will rayse vp for them a plant of renoume, and they shalbe no more consumed with hunger in the land, neither beare the reproche of the heathen any more.
Et suscitabo eis germen nominatum: et non erunt ultra imminuti fame in terra, neque portabunt ultra opprobrium Gentium.
30 Thus shall they vnderstande, that I the Lord their God am with them, and that they, euen the house of Israel, are my people, sayth the Lord God.
Et scient quia ego Dominus Deus eorum cum eis, et ipsi populus meus domus Israel: ait Dominus Deus.
31 And yee my sheepe, the sheepe of my pasture are men, and I am your God, saith the Lord God.
Vos autem greges mei, greges pascuæ meæ homines estis: et ego Dominus Deus vester, dicit Dominus Deus.
