Ezekiel 34
1 Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
耶和华的话临到我说：
2 “You human, prophesy about [leaders] of Israel. [They should be taking care of my people like] [MET] shepherds [take care of their sheep]. Say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: Terrible things will happen to you leaders [MET] of Israel who only take care of yourselves! You should certainly [RHQ] take care of [your people like] [MET] a shepherd takes care of his flock of 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 [It is as though] you eat the curds, you slaughter the very good animals and wear clothes made from their wool. But you do not take care of the flock.
你们吃脂油、穿羊毛、宰肥壮的，却不牧养群羊。
4 You have not enabled those who are weak to become strong. You have not healed those who were sick. You have not bandaged those who were wounded/injured. You have not brought back those who went astray. You have not searched for those who became lost. You have ruled your people harshly and cruelly.
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 So they were scattered, because you did not [take care of them like] [MET] a shepherd [takes care of his sheep]. And when they were scattered, [it was as though] wild animals attacked and [killed them and ate] their flesh.
因无牧人，羊就分散；既分散，便作了一切野兽的食物。
6 My people wandered like sheep all over the high hills and mountains. They were scattered all over the earth, and no one searched for them [DOU].
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 [who should be acting like] shepherds, listen to what I, Yahweh the Lord say:
“所以，你们这些牧人要听耶和华的话。
8 As surely as I am alive, my people [are like a flock of sheep that has] no shepherd, and as a result [it is as though] wild animals have attacked my people and eaten them. You did not search for them; instead, you only wanted to provide food for yourselves.
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 [who should be like] [MET] shepherds, listen to what I, Yahweh say:
所以你们这些牧人要听耶和华的话。
10 I am opposed to [you leaders who should be like] [MET] shepherds for my people. I will remove you from taking care of my people, with the result that you will no longer feed yourselves [instead of feeding them]. I will rescue my people from you, with the result that you will longer be able to [butcher them and] eat 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 This is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say to you leaders: I myself will search for my sheep and take care of them.
“主耶和华如此说：看哪，我必亲自寻找我的羊，将它们寻见。
12 Like a shepherd finds his scattered sheep, I will rescue my people from all the places to which they have been scattered, at a time when things were very gloomy and they experienced disasters.
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 back from many countries and gather them together again in their own land. [Because my people are like sheep] [MET], [it is as though] I will enable them to find good pastureland on the hills of Israel, and in the ravines, and in the villages of Israel.
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 [It is as though] I will allow them to graze in good pastures on the mountaintops. They will lie down in good (grazing areas/grassy fields) there [DOU].
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 take care of my people and enable them to lie down and rest.
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 search for those who are lost and bring back the ones who have strayed away. I will bandage those who have been injured and strengthen those who are weak. But I will get rid of those who are fat and powerful. I will act fairly toward [the people who are like] [MET] my sheep. That is what I, Yahweh, promise.
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 And as for you who are like [MET] my sheep, this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: I will judge between each of you; and I will separate [those that are peaceful like] sheep from [those that are always trying to dominate others like] 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 It is bad that [RHQ] some of you keep the best pastures for yourselves. It is even worse that [RHQ] you trample the good grass with your feet. You yourselves drink the clear water [RHQ]. But with your feet you cause the other water to become muddy [RHQ].
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 [It is as though] you [RHQ] are forcing my flock to eat the grass that you have trampled and to drink the water that you have caused to become muddy!
至于我的羊，只得吃你们所践踏的，喝你们所搅浑的。
20 Therefore, this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say to you: I myself will judge between [those of you who are like] [MET] the fat sheep and [those of you who are like] the thin 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 [who are like] strong sheep, [it is as though] with your shoulders and buttocks you have shoved away [those who are like] thin sheep, and you have butted them with your horns, until you have chased them all away [from the good pastureland].
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 But I will rescue my people, and they no longer will be (harassed/treated cruelly). I will judge between one person and another.
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 And I will appoint one leader [MET] for them, [someone who will be like] King David, who served me [very well]. That leader will take care of them and be like 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, Yahweh, will be their God, and [the one who is like] [MET] King David will be their king. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said 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 a peace agreement with the people of Israel. In this agreement I will promise to get rid of all the wild animals in Israel, in order that my people may live safely, even in the desert and in the forests.
“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 bless them, and I will bless the places close to my sacred hill. I will bless them by sending them rain showers at the right season; they will be showers to bless them.
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 fruit trees will produce fruit and the ground will produce crops. And my people will live safely in their land. When I rescue them from people who caused them to be slaves [MET, DOU], they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
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 [Soldiers from] other nations will no longer take away their valuable possessions, and wild animals will no longer attack them. They will live safely, and no one will cause them to be 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 cause their land to be famous/well-known for its good crops. There will no longer be famines in the land, and people in other nations will no longer ridicule them.
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 Then they will know that I, Yahweh their God, am helping them, and they will know that they, the Israeli people, are my people.
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 [It will be as though] [MET] my people are my sheep whom I will take care of, and I will be their God. That is what I, Yahweh the Lord, declare.’”
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。”
