Ezekiel 34
1 Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
И было ко мне слово Господне:
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!
сын человеческий! изреки пророчество на пастырей Израилевых, изреки пророчество и скажи им, пастырям: так говорит Господь Бог: горе пастырям Израилевым, которые пасли себя самих! не стадо ли должны пасти пастыри?
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.
Вы ели тук и волною одевались, откормленных овец заколали, а стада не пасли.
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.
Слабых не укрепляли, и больной овцы не врачевали, и пораненной не перевязывали, и угнанной не возвращали, и потерянной не искали, а правили ими с насилием и жестокостью.
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.
И рассеялись они без пастыря и, рассеявшись, сделались пищею всякому зверю полевому.
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].
Блуждают овцы Мои по всем горам и по всякому высокому холму, и по всему лицу земли рассеялись овцы Мои, и никто не разведывает о них, и никто не ищет их.
7 Therefore, you [who should be acting like] shepherds, listen to what I, Yahweh the Lord say:
Посему, пастыри, выслушайте слово Господне.
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.
Живу Я! говорит Господь Бог; за то, что овцы Мои оставлены были на расхищение и без пастыря сделались овцы Мои пищею всякого зверя полевого, и пастыри Мои не искали овец Моих, и пасли пастыри самих себя, а овец Моих не пасли, -
9 Therefore, you [who should be like] [MET] shepherds, listen to what I, Yahweh say:
за то, пастыри, выслушайте слово Господне.
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.
Так говорит Господь Бог: вот, Я - на пастырей, и взыщу овец Моих от руки их, и не дам им более пасти овец, и не будут более пастыри пасти самих себя, и исторгну овец Моих из челюстей их, и не будут они пищею их.
11 This is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say to you leaders: I myself will search for my sheep and take care of them.
Ибо так говорит Господь Бог: вот, Я Сам отыщу овец Моих и осмотрю их.
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.
Как пастух поверяет стадо свое в тот день, когда находится среди стада своего рассеянного, так Я пересмотрю овец Моих и высвобожу их из всех мест, в которые они были рассеяны в день облачный и мрачный.
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.
И выведу их из народов, и соберу их из стран, и приведу их в землю их, и буду пасти их на горах Израилевых, при потоках и на всех обитаемых местах земли сей.
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].
Буду пасти их на хорошей пажити, и загон их будет на высоких горах Израилевых; там они будут отдыхать в хорошем загоне и будут пастись на тучной пажити, на горах Израилевых.
15 I myself will take care of my people and enable them to lie down and rest.
Я буду пасти овец Моих и Я буду покоить их, говорит Господь Бог.
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.
Потерявшуюся отыщу и угнанную возвращу, и пораненную перевяжу, и больную укреплю, а разжиревшую и буйную истреблю; буду пасти их по правде.
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.
Вас же, овцы Мои, - так говорит Господь Бог, - вот, Я буду судить между овцою и овцою, между бараном и козлом.
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].
Разве мало вам того, что пасетесь на хорошей пажити, а между тем остальное на пажити вашей топчете ногами вашими, пьете чистую воду, а оставшуюся мутите ногами вашими,
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!
так что овцы Мои должны питаться тем, что потоптано ногами вашими, и пить то, что возмущено ногами вашими?
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.
Посему так говорит им Господь Бог: вот, Я Сам буду судить между овцою тучною и овцою тощею.
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].
Так как вы толкаете боком и плечом, и рогами своими бодаете всех слабых, доколе не вытолкаете их вон, -
22 But I will rescue my people, and they no longer will be (harassed/treated cruelly). I will judge between one person and another.
то Я спасу овец Моих, и они не будут уже расхищаемы, и рассужу между овцою и овцою.
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.
И поставлю над ними одного пастыря, который будет пасти их, раба Моего Давида; он будет пасти их и он будет у них пастырем.
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.
И Я, Господь, буду их Богом, и раб Мой Давид будет князем среди них. Я, Господь, сказал это.
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.
И заключу с ними завет мира и удалю с земли лютых зверей, так что безопасно будут жить в степи и спать в лесах.
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.
Дарую им и окрестностям холма Моего благословение, и дождь буду ниспосылать в свое время; это будут дожди благословения.
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].
И полевое дерево будет давать плод свой, и земля будет давать произведения свои; и будут они безопасны на земле своей, и узнают, что Я Господь, когда сокрушу связи ярма их и освобожу их из руки поработителей их.
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.
Они не будут уже добычею для народов, и полевые звери не будут пожирать их; они будут жить безопасно, и никто не будет устрашать их.
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.
И произведу у них насаждение славное, и не будут уже погибать от голода на земле и терпеть посрамления от народов.
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.
И узнают, что Я, Господь Бог их, с ними, и они, дом Израилев, Мой народ, говорит Господь Бог,
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.’”
и что вы - овцы Мои, овцы паствы Моей; вы человеки, а Я Бог ваш, говорит Господь Бог.
