< Ezekiel 34 >

1 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
耶和華的話臨到我說:
2 “Son of man, prophesy concerning shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and you have said to them, Thus said Lord YHWH to the shepherds: Woe [to] the shepherds of Israel, Who have been feeding themselves! Do the shepherds not feed the flock?
「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 fat, and you put on the wool, You slaughter the fed one, You do not feed the flock.
你們吃脂油、穿羊毛、宰肥壯的,卻不牧養群羊。
4 You have not strengthened the weak, And you have not healed the sick one, And you have not bound up the broken, And have not brought back the driven away, And you have not sought the lost, And you have ruled them with might and with rigor.
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 And they are scattered from want of a shepherd, And are for food to every beast of the field, Indeed, they are scattered.
因無牧人,羊就分散;既分散,便作了一切野獸的食物。
6 My flock goes astray on all the mountains, And on every high hill, And My flock has been scattered on [the] whole face of the earth, And there is none inquiring, and none seeking.
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 Therefore, shepherds, hear a word of YHWH:
「所以,你們這些牧人要聽耶和華的話。
8 [As] I live—a declaration of Lord YHWH, If not, because of My flock being for a prey, Indeed, My flock is for food to every beast of the field, Because there is no shepherd, And My shepherds have not sought My flock, And the shepherds feed themselves, And they have not fed My flock.
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 Therefore, O shepherds, hear a word of YHWH!
所以你們這些牧人要聽耶和華的話。
10 Thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I [am] against the shepherds, And have required My flock from their hand, And caused them to cease from feeding the flock, And the shepherds feed themselves no more, And I have delivered My flock from their mouth, And they are not for food to them.
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 thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I—even I, have required My flock, And I have sought it out.
「主耶和華如此說:看哪,我必親自尋找我的羊,將牠們尋見。
12 As a shepherd’s searching of his drove, In the day of his being in the midst of his scattered flock, so I seek My flock, And have delivered them out of all places, To where they have been scattered, In a day of cloud and thick darkness.
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 And I have brought them out from the peoples, And have gathered them from the lands, And brought them to their own ground, And have fed them on mountains of Israel, By streams, and by all dwellings of the land.
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 feed them with good pasture, And their habitation is on mountains of the high place of Israel, There they lie down in a good habitation, And they enjoy fat pastures on 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 feed My flock, and cause them to lie down, A declaration of Lord YHWH.
主耶和華說:我必親自作我羊的牧人,使牠們得以躺臥。
16 I seek the lost, and bring back the driven away, And I bind up the broken, and I strengthen the sick, And I destroy the fat and the strong, I feed it with judgment.
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 And you, My flock, thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I am judging between sheep and sheep, Between rams and male 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 Is it a little thing for you—[that] you enjoy the good pasture, And tread down the remnant of your pasture with your feet, And drink a depth of waters, And trample the remainder 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 And My flock consumes the trodden thing of your feet, And drinks the trampled thing of your feet?
至於我的羊,只得吃你們所踐踏的,喝你們所攪渾的。
20 Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH to them: Behold, I—even I, have judged between fat sheep and lean 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 Because you thrust away with side and with shoulder, And push all the diseased with your horns, Until you have scattered them to the out-place,
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 Therefore I have given safety to My flock, And they are not for prey anymore, And I have judged between sheep and sheep.
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 And have raised up one shepherd over them, And he has fed them—My servant David, He feeds them, and he is 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 And I, YHWH, I am their God, And My servant David [is] prince in their midst, I, YHWH, 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 And I have made a covenant of peace with them, And caused evil beasts to cease out of the land, And they have dwelt confidently in a wilderness, And they have slept in forests.
「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 And I have given them, and the outskirts of My hill, a blessing, And caused the shower to come down in its season, They are 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 And the tree of the field has given its fruit, And the land gives her increase, And they have been confident on their land, And they have known that I [am] YHWH, In My breaking the bands of their yoke, And I have delivered them from the hand of those laying service on them.
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 And they are no longer a prey to nations, And the beast of the earth does not devour them, And they have dwelt confidently, And there is none troubling.
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 And I have raised a plantation of renown for them, And they are no longer consumed by hunger in the land, And they no longer bear the shame of the nations.
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 And they have known that I, YHWH, their God, [am] with them, And they—the house of Israel—My people, A declaration of Lord YHWH.
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 And you, My flock, the flock of My pasture, You [are] men [and] I [am] your God, A declaration of Lord YHWH!”
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。」
