< Ezekiel 34 >
1 The word of the LORD came to me, saying,
耶和华的话临到我说:
2 "Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and tell them, even to the shepherds, 'Thus says the LORD: "Woe to the shepherds of Israel who feed themselves. Shouldn't the shepherds feed the sheep?
“人子啊,你要向以色列的牧人发预言,攻击他们,说,主耶和华如此说:祸哉!以色列的牧人只知牧养自己。牧人岂不当牧养群羊吗?
3 You eat the fat, and you clothe yourself with the wool, you kill the fatlings; but you do not feed the sheep.
你们吃脂油、穿羊毛、宰肥壮的,却不牧养群羊。
4 You haven't strengthened the diseased, neither have you healed that which was sick, neither have you bound up that which was broken, neither have you brought back that which was driven away, neither have you sought that which was lost; but with force and with rigor you have ruled over them.
瘦弱的,你们没有养壮;有病的,你们没有医治;受伤的,你们没有缠裹;被逐的,你们没有领回;失丧的,你们没有寻找;但用强暴严严地辖制。
5 They were scattered, because there was no shepherd; and they became food to all the animals of the field.
因无牧人,羊就分散;既分散,便作了一切野兽的食物。
6 My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and on every high hill: yes, my sheep were scattered on all the surface of the earth; and there was none who searched or sought."'
我的羊在诸山间、在各高冈上流离,在全地上分散,无人去寻,无人去找。
7 "'"Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the LORD:
“所以,你们这些牧人要听耶和华的话。
8 'As I live,' says the LORD, 'surely because my sheep became a prey, and my sheep became food to all the animals of the field, because there was no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my sheep, but the shepherds fed themselves, and didn't feed my sheep';
主耶和华说:我指着我的永生起誓,我的羊因无牧人就成为掠物,也作了一切野兽的食物。我的牧人不寻找我的羊;这些牧人只知牧养自己,并不牧养我的羊。
9 therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the LORD:
所以你们这些牧人要听耶和华的话。
10 Thus says the LORD: 'Look, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my sheep at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the sheep; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; and I will deliver my sheep from their mouth, that they may not be food for them.'"
主耶和华如此说:我必与牧人为敌,必向他们的手追讨我的羊,使他们不再牧放群羊;牧人也不再牧养自己。我必救我的羊脱离他们的口,不再作他们的食物。”
11 "'For thus says the LORD: "Look, I myself, even I, will search for my sheep, and will seek them out.
“主耶和华如此说:看哪,我必亲自寻找我的羊,将它们寻见。
12 As a shepherd seeks out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered abroad, so will I seek out my sheep; and I will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.
牧人在羊群四散的日子怎样寻找他的羊,我必照样寻找我的羊。这些羊在密云黑暗的日子散到各处,我必从那里救回它们来。
13 I will bring them out from the peoples, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them into their own land; and I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the watercourses, and in all the inhabited places of the country.
我必从万民中领出它们,从各国内聚集它们,引导它们归回故土,也必在以色列山上—一切溪水旁边、境内一切可居之处—牧养它们。
14 I will feed them with good pasture; and on the mountains of the height of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie down in a good fold; and on fat pasture shall they feed on the mountains of Israel.
我必在美好的草场牧养它们。它们的圈必在以色列高处的山上,它们必在佳美之圈中躺卧,也在以色列山肥美的草场吃草。
15 I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I will cause them to lie down," says the LORD.
主耶和华说:我必亲自作我羊的牧人,使它们得以躺卧。
16 "I will seek that which was lost, and will bring back that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but the fat and the strong I will destroy; I will feed them in justice."
失丧的,我必寻找;被逐的,我必领回;受伤的,我必缠裹;有病的,我必医治;只是肥的壮的,我必除灭,也要秉公牧养它们。
17 "'As for you, O my flock, thus says the LORD: "Look, I judge between sheep and sheep, the rams and the male goats.
“我的羊群哪,论到你们,主耶和华如此说:我必在羊与羊中间、公绵羊与公山羊中间施行判断。
18 Does it seem a small thing to you to have fed on the good pasture, but you must tread down with your feet the residue of your pasture? And to have drunk of the clear waters, but you must foul the residue with your feet?
你们这些肥壮的羊,在美好的草场吃草还以为小事吗?剩下的草,你们竟用蹄践踏了;你们喝清水,剩下的水,你们竟用蹄搅浑了。
19 As for my sheep, they eat that which you have trodden with your feet, and they drink that which you have fouled with your feet."
至于我的羊,只得吃你们所践踏的,喝你们所搅浑的。
20 "'Therefore thus says the LORD to them: "Look, I, even I, will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep.
“所以,主耶和华如此说:我必在肥羊和瘦羊中间施行判断。
21 Because you thrust with side and with shoulder, and push all the diseased with your horns, until you have scattered them abroad;
因为你们用胁用肩拥挤一切瘦弱的,又用角抵触,以致使它们四散。
22 therefore I will save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between sheep and sheep.
所以,我必拯救我的群羊不再作掠物;我也必在羊和羊中间施行判断。
23 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.
我必立一牧人照管他们,牧养他们,就是我的仆人大卫。他必牧养他们,作他们的牧人。
24 I, the LORD, will be their God, and my servant David prince among them;" I, the LORD, have spoken it.
我—耶和华必作他们的 神,我的仆人大卫必在他们中间作王。这是耶和华说的。
25 "'I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause evil animals to cease out of the land; and they shall dwell securely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.
“我必与他们立平安的约,使恶兽从境内断绝,他们就必安居在旷野,躺卧在林中。
26 I will make them and the places around my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in its season; there shall be showers of blessing.
我必使他们与我山的四围成为福源,我也必叫时雨落下,必有福如甘霖而降。
27 The tree of the field shall yield its fruit, and the earth shall yield its increase, and they shall be secure in their land; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I have broken the bars of their yoke, and have delivered them out of the hand of those who made slaves of them.
田野的树必结果,地也必有出产;他们必在故土安然居住。我折断他们所负的轭,救他们脱离那以他们为奴之人的手;那时,他们就知道我是耶和华。
28 They shall no more be a prey to the nations, neither shall the animals of the earth devour them; but they shall dwell securely, and none shall make them afraid.
他们必不再作外邦人的掠物,地上的野兽也不再吞吃他们;却要安然居住,无人惊吓。
29 I will raise up to them a plantation for renown, and they shall be no more consumed with famine in the land, neither bear the shame of the nations any more.
我必给他们兴起有名的植物;他们在境内不再为饥荒所灭,也不再受外邦人的羞辱,
30 They shall know that I, the LORD, their God am with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are my people," says the LORD.
必知道我、耶和华—他们的 神是与他们同在的,并知道他们—以色列家是我的民。这是主耶和华说的。
31 "You my sheep, the sheep of my pasture, are men, and I am your God," says the LORD.'"
你们作我的羊,我草场上的羊,乃是以色列人,我也是你们的 神。这是主耶和华说的。”
