< Ezekiel 34 >
1 And the word of the Lord was maad to me,
上主的話傳給我說:「
2 and he seide, Sone of man, profesie thou of the schepherdis of Israel, profesie thou; and thou schalt seie to the schepherdis, The Lord God seith these thingis, Wo to the schepherdis of Israel, that fedden hym silf; whether flockis ben not fed of schepherdis?
人子,你應說預言攻斥以色列的牧者,向他們講預言說:吾主上主這樣說:禍哉以色列的牧者! 你們只知牧養自己;牧人豈不應該牧養羊群﹖
3 Ye eeten mylk, and weren hilid with wollis, and ye killiden that that was fat; but ye fedden not my floc.
你們吃羊奶,穿羊毛衣,宰肥羊,卻不牧養羊群:
4 Ye maden not sad that that was vnstidfast, and ye maden not hool that that was sijk; ye bounden not that that was brokun, and ye brouyten not ayen that that was cast awei, and ye souyten not that that perischide; but ye comaundiden to hem with sturnenesse, and with power.
瘦弱的,你們不扶養;患病的,你們不醫治;受傷的,你們不包紮;迷路的,你們不領回;遺失的,你們不尋找,反而用強力和殘暴去管治他們。
5 And my scheep weren scaterid, for no sheepherde was; and thei weren maad in to deuouryng of alle beestis of the feeld, and thei weren scaterid.
因為沒有牧人,羊都四散了;羊四散後,便成了一切野獸的食物。
6 My flockis erriden in alle mounteyns, and in ech hiy hil, and my flockis weren scaterid on al the face of erthe, and noon was that souyte.
我的羊在群山峻嶺中迷了路,我的羊四散在全地面上,沒有人去尋,沒有人去找。
7 Therfor, scheepherdis, here ye the word of the Lord;
為此牧者啊,聽上主的話罷!
8 Y lyue, seith the Lord God, for whi for that that my flockis ben maad in to raueyn, and my scheep in to deuouryng of alle beestis of the feeld, for that that no scheepherde was, for the scheepherdis souyten not my floc, but the scheepherdis fedden hem silf, and fedden not my flockis; therfor,
我指著我的生命起誓──吾主上主的斷語──因為我的羊群由於沒有牧者,成了獵物;我的羊群成了一切野獸的食物,因為我的牧者不尋找我的羊,只知牧養自己,而不牧養我的羊:
9 scheepherdis, here ye the word of the Lord,
為此,牧者啊,聽上主的話罷!
10 The Lord God seith these thingis, Lo! Y my silf am ouer scheepherdis; Y schal seke my floc of the hond of hem, and Y schal make hem to ceesse, that thei fede no more my flok, and that the scheepherdis feede no more hem silf. And Y schal delyuere my floc fro the mouth of hem, and it schal no more be in to mete to hem.
吾主上主這樣說:我要攻擊那些牧者,從他們手裏追討我的羊,我不再讓他們牧放羊群;這樣,牧者便不能再牧養自己了;我要從他們口中救出我的羊,不再作他們的食物。
11 For the Lord God seith these thingis, Lo! Y my silf schal seke my scheep, and Y schal visite hem.
因為吾主上主這樣說:看,我要親自去尋找我的羊,我要親自照顧我的羊。
12 As a scheepherde visitith his floc, in the dai whanne he is in the myddis of hise scheep `that ben scaterid, so Y schal visite my scheep; and Y schal delyuere hem fro alle places in whiche thei weren scaterid, in the dai of cloude, and of derknesse.
猶如牧人在羊群失散的那日怎樣尋找他的羊,我也怎樣尋找我的羊;我要把那些曾在陰雲和黑暗之日四散在各地的羊,從那些地方救回來。
13 And Y schal leede hem out of puplis, and Y schal gadere hem fro londis, and Y schal brynge hem in to her lond, and Y schal feede hem in the hillis of Israel, in ryueris, and in alle seetis of erthe.
我要從各民族中將他們領出,從各國將他們聚集起來,領他們回到自己的地域;我要在以色列的群山上,溪水畔,以及本國的一切牧場上牧放他們。
14 Y schal feede hem in moost plenteouse pasturis, and the lesewis of hem schulen be in the hiy hillis of Israel; there thei schulen reste in greene eerbis, and in fatte lesewis thei schulen be fed on the hillis of Israel.
我要在茂盛的草原上牧放他們,在以色列的高山上有他們的羊棧,在那裏他們要臥在舒適的羊棧裏,在以色列的群山上,在肥美的牧場上吃草。
15 Y schal fede my scheep, and Y schal make hem to ligge, seith the Lord God.
我要親自牧放我的羊,親自使他們臥下──吾主上主的斷語──
16 I schal seke that that perischide, and Y schal brynge ayen that that was cast awei; and Y schal bynde that that was brokun, and Y schal make sad that that was sijk; and Y schal kepe that that was fat and strong; and Y schal feede hem in doom;
失落的我要尋找;迷路的,我要領回;受傷的,我要包紮;病弱的,我要療養;肥胖和強壯的,我要看守;我要按正義牧放他們。
17 forsothe ye ben my flockis. The Lord God seith these thingis, Lo! Y deme bitwixe beeste and beeste, and a wethir and a buc of geet.
我的羊群啊! 關於你們,吾主上主這樣說:看,我要在羊與羊,綿羊與山羊之間,施行審判。
18 Whether it was not enowy to you to deuoure good pasturis? Ferthermore and ye defouliden with youre feet the remenauntis of youre lesewis, and whanne ye drunken clereste watir, ye disturbliden the residue with youre feet.
你們在茂盛的草場上吃飽後,就用蹄子把吃剩的踐踏;喝足了清水,就用蹄子把剩下的弄髒,你們還以為是件小事嗎﹖
19 And my scheep weren fed with tho thingis that weren defoulid with youre feet; and thei drunken these thingis, that youre feet hadden troblid.
我的羊群就該吃你們蹄子踏過的草,喝你們蹄子弄髒的水﹖
20 Therfor the Lord God seith these thingis to you, Lo! Y my silf deme bitwixe a fat beeste and a leene beeste.
為此,吾主上主向他們這樣說:看我要,親自在肥羊與瘦羊之間施行審判,
21 For that that ye hurliden with sidis, and schuldris, and wyndewiden with youre hornes alle sike beestis, til tho weren scaterid withoutforth, I schal saue my floc,
因為你們用臀部,和肩膀排擠,用角牴撞一切病弱的,直到把他們趕到外面;
22 and it schal no more be in to raueyn. And Y schal deme bitwixe beeste and beeste;
因此我要拯救我的羊,使之不再作獵物;我要在羊與羊之間施行審判。
23 and Y schal reise on tho o sheepherde, my seruaunt Dauid, that schal fede tho; he schal fede tho, and he schal be `in to a sheepherde to hem.
我要為他們興起一個牧人,那即是我的僕人達味,他要牧放他們,作他們的牧人。
24 Forsothe Y the Lord schal be in to God to hem, and my seruaunt Dauid schal be prince in the myddis of hem; Y the Lord spak.
我,上主要作他們的天主,我的僕人達味在他們中作領袖:這是我上主說的。
25 And Y schal make with hem a couenaunt of pees, and Y schal make worste beestis to ceesse fro erthe; and thei that dwellen in desert, schulen slepe sikur in forestis.
我要同他們訂立平安盟約,使猛獸由那地上滅絕,他們便可在曠野中安居,在森林裏安眠。
26 And Y schal sette hem blessyng in the cumpas of my litle hil, and Y schal lede doun reyn in his tyme. And reynes of blessyng schulen be,
我要祝福他們和我山丘的四周,按時降雨,那是滿帶幸福的雨;
27 and the tre of the feeld schal yyue his fruyt, and the erthe schal yyue his seed. And thei schulen be in her lond with out drede; and thei schulen wite, that Y am the Lord, whanne Y schal al to-breke the chaynes of her yok, and schal delyuere hem fro the hond of hem that comaunden to hem.
因此田間的樹木要結果,地要有出產;他們將安居在本鄉。當我打斷他們所負的軛,由奴役他們者的手中救出他們時,他們必承認我是上主。
28 And thei schulen no more be in to raueyn in to hethene men, nether the beestis of erthe schulen deuoure hem, but thei schulen dwelle tristili with outen ony drede.
他們不再作異民的獵物,地裏的野獸也不吞噬他們,他們反而要安居樂業,不再受人恐嚇。
29 And Y schal reise to hem a iust buriownyng named; and thei schulen no more be maad lesse for hunger in erthe, and thei schulen no more bere the schenschipis of hethene men.
我要使植物為他們而茂盛,他們在這地上不再為飢荒所消滅,也不再受異民的羞辱:
30 And thei schulen wite, that Y am her Lord God with hem, and thei ben my puple, the hous of Israel, seith the Lord God.
如此,他們必承認我上主是他們的天主,且與他們同在,而他們──以色列家族,是我的百姓──吾主上主的斷語──
31 Forsothe ye my flockis ben men, the flockis of my lesewe; and Y am youre Lord God, seith the Lord God.
你們作我的羊群,是我牧場上的羊群;我是你們的天主──吾主上主的斷語。」
