حِزْقِيَال 34

١ 1 وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا:

And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,

٢ 2 «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، تَنَبَّأْ عَلَى رُعَاةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، تَنَبَّأْ وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ لِلرُّعَاةِ: وَيْلٌ لِرُعَاةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَرْعَوْنَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ. أَلَا يَرْعَى ٱلرُّعَاةُ ٱلْغَنَمَ؟

Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel. Prophesy, and say to them, even to the shepherds, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: Woe to the shepherds of Israel who feed themselves! Should not the shepherds feed the sheep?

٣ 3 تَأْكُلُونَ ٱلشَّحْمَ، وَتَلْبَسُونَ ٱلصُّوفَ وَتَذْبَحُونَ ٱلسَّمِينَ، وَلَا تَرْعَوْنَ ٱلْغَنَمَ.

Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe yourselves with the wool. Ye kill the fatlings, but ye do not feed the sheep.

٤ 4 ٱلْمَرِيضُ لَمْ تُقَوُّوهُ، وَٱلْمَجْرُوحُ لَمْ تَعْصِبُوهُ، وَٱلْمَكْسُورُ لَمْ تَجْبُرُوهُ، وَٱلْمَطْرُودُ لَمْ تَسْتَرِدُّوهُ، وَٱلضَّالُّ لَمْ تَطْلُبُوهُ، بَلْ بِشِدَّةٍ وَبِعُنْفٍ تَسَلَّطْتُمْ عَلَيْهِمْ.

Ye have not strengthened the diseased, nor have ye healed that which was sick, nor have ye bound up that which was broken, nor have ye brought back that which was driven away, nor have ye sought that which was lost, but ye have ruled over them with force and with rigor.

٥ 5 فَتَشَتَّتَتْ بِلَا رَاعٍ وَصَارَتْ مَأْكَلًا لِجَمِيعِ وُحُوشِ ٱلْحَقْلِ، وَتَشَتَّتَتْ.

And they were scattered because there was no shepherd. And they became food to all the beasts of the field, and were scattered.

٦ 6 ضَلَّتْ غَنَمِي فِي كُلِّ ٱلْجِبَالِ، وَعَلَى كُلِّ تَلٍّ عَالٍ، وَعَلَى كُلِّ وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. تَشَتَّتَتْ غَنَمِي وَلَمْ يَكُنْ مَنْ يَسْأَلُ أَوْ يُفَتِّشُ.

My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill. Yea, my sheep were scattered upon all the face of the earth, and there was none who searched or sought.

٧ 7 «فَلِذَلِكَ أَيُّهَا ٱلرُّعَاةُ ٱسْمَعُوا كَلَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ:

Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of Jehovah:

٨ 8 حَيٌّ أَنَا، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ، مِنْ حَيْثُ إِنَّ غَنَمِي صَارَتْ غَنِيمَةً وَصَارَتْ غَنَمِي مَأْكَلًا لِكُلِّ وَحْشِ ٱلْحَقْلِ، إِذْ لَمْ يَكُنْ رَاعٍ وَلَا سَأَلَ رُعَاتِي عَنْ غَنَمِي، وَرَعَى ٱلرُّعَاةُ أَنْفُسَهُمْ وَلَمْ يَرْعَوْا غَنَمِي،

As I live, says the lord Jehovah, surely inasmuch as my sheep became a prey, and my sheep became food to all the beasts of the field, because there was no shepherd, nor did my shepherds search for my sheep, but the shepherds fed themselves, and did not feed my sheep,

٩ 9 فَلِذَلِكَ أَيُّهَا ٱلرُّعَاةُ ٱسْمَعُوا كَلَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ:

therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of Jehovah.

١٠ 10 هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَأَنَذَا عَلَى ٱلرُّعَاةِ وَأَطْلُبُ غَنَمِي مِنْ يَدِهِمْ، وَأَكُفُّهُمْ عَنْ رَعْيِ ٱلْغَنَمِ، وَلَا يَرْعَى ٱلرُّعَاةُ أَنْفُسَهُمْ بَعْدُ، فَأُخَلِّصُ غَنَمِي مِنْ أَفْوَاهِهِمْ فَلَا تَكُونُ لَهُمْ مَأْكَلًا.

Thus says the lord Jehovah: Behold, 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.

١١ 11 لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَأَنَذَا أَسْأَلُ عَنْ غَنَمِي وَأَفْتَقِدُهَا.

For thus says the lord Jehovah: Behold, I myself, even I, will search for my sheep, and will seek them out.

١٢ 12 كَمَا يَفْتَقِدُ ٱلرَّاعِي قَطِيعَهُ يَوْمَ يَكُونُ فِي وَسْطِ غَنَمِهِ ٱلْمُشَتَّتَةِ، هَكَذَا أَفْتَقِدُ غَنَمِي وَأُخَلِّصُهَا مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلْأَمَاكِنِ ٱلَّتِي تَشَتَّتَتْ إِلَيْهَا فِي يَوْمِ ٱلْغَيْمِ وَٱلضَّبَابِ.

As a shepherd seeks out his flock, in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered abroad, so I will seek out my sheep, and I will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.

١٣ 13 وَأُخْرِجُهَا مِنَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ وَأَجْمَعُهَا مِنَ ٱلْأَرَاضِي، وَآتِي بِهَا إِلَى أَرْضِهَا وَأَرْعَاهَا عَلَى جِبَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَفِي ٱلْأَوْدِيَةِ وَفِي جَمِيعِ مَسَاكِنِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

And 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 upon the mountains of Israel, by the watercourses, and in all the inhabited places of the country.

١٤ 14 أَرْعَاهَا فِي مَرْعًى جَيِّدٍ، وَيَكُونُ مَرَاحُهَا عَلَى جِبَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلْعَالِيَةِ. هُنَالِكَ تَرْبُضُ فِي مَرَاحٍ حَسَنٍ، وَفِي مَرْعًى دَسِمٍ يَرْعَوْنَ عَلَى جِبَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

I will feed them with good pasture, and their fold shall be upon the mountains of the height of Israel. There they shall lie down in a good fold, and on fat pasture they shall feed upon the mountains of Israel.

١٥ 15 أَنَا أَرْعَى غَنَمِي وَأُرْبِضُهَا، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I will cause them to lie down, says the lord Jehovah.

١٦ 16 وَأَطْلُبُ ٱلضَّالَّ، وَأَسْتَرِدُّ ٱلْمَطْرُودَ، وَأَجْبِرُ ٱلْكَسِيرَ، وَأَعْصِبُ ٱلْجَرِيحَ، وَأُبِيدُ ٱلسَّمِينَ وَٱلْقَوِيَّ، وَأَرْعَاهَا بِعَدْلٍ.

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 I will destroy the fat and the strong. I will feed them in justice.

١٧ 17 وَأَنْتُمْ يَا غَنَمِي، فَهَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَأَنَذَا أَحْكُمُ بَيْنَ شَاةٍ وَشَاةٍ، بَيْنَ كِبَاشٍ وَتُيُوسٍ.

And as for you, O my flock, thus says the lord Jehovah: Behold, I judge between sheep and sheep, the rams and the he-goats.

١٨ 18 أَهُوَ صَغِيرٌ عِنْدَكُمْ أَنْ تَرْعَوْا ٱلْمَرْعَى ٱلْجَيِّدَ، وَبَقِيَّةُ مَرَاعِيكُمْ تَدُوسُونَهَا بِأَرْجُلِكُمْ، وَأَنْ تَشْرَبُوا مِنَ ٱلْمِيَاهِ ٱلْعَمِيقَةِ، وَٱلْبَقِيَّةُ تُكَدِّرُونَهَا بِأَقْدَامِكُمْ؟

Does it seem a small thing to you to have fed upon the good pasture, but ye must tread down with your feet the residue of your pasture, and to have drunk of the clear waters, but ye must foul the residue with your feet?

١٩ 19 وَغَنَمِي تَرْعَى مِنْ دَوْسِ أَقْدَامِكُمْ، وَتَشْرَبُ مِنْ كَدَرِ أَرْجُلِكُمْ!

And as for my sheep, they eat that which ye have trodden with your feet, and they drink that which ye have fouled with your feet.

٢٠ 20 «لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ لَهُمْ: هَأَنَذَا أَحْكُمُ بَيْنَ ٱلشَّاةِ ٱلسَّمِينَةِ وَٱلشَّاةِ ٱلْمَهْزُولَةِ.

Therefore thus says the lord Jehovah to them: Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep.

٢١ 21 لِأَنَّكُمْ بَهَزْتُمْ بِٱلْجَنْبِ وَٱلْكَتِفِ، وَنَطَحْتُمُ ٱلْمَرِيضَةَ بِقُرُونِكُمْ حَتَّى شَتَّتْمُوهَا إِلَى خَارِجٍ.

Because ye thrust with side and with shoulder, and push all the diseased with your horns, till ye have scattered them abroad,

٢٢ 22 فَأُخَلِّصُ غَنَمِي فَلَا تَكُونُ مِنْ بَعْدُ غَنِيمَةً، وَأَحْكُمُ بَيْنَ شَاةٍ وَشَاةٍ.

therefore I will save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey. And I will judge between sheep and sheep.

٢٣ 23 وَأُقِيمُ عَلَيْهَا رَاعِيًا وَاحِدًا فَيَرْعَاهَا عَبْدِي دَاوُدُ، هُوَ يَرْعَاهَا وَهُوَ يَكُونُ لَهَا رَاعِيًا.

And 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.

٢٤ 24 وَأَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ أَكُونُ لَهُمْ إِلَهًا، وَعَبْدِي دَاوُدُ رَئِيسًا فِي وَسْطِهِمْ. أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ تَكَلَّمْتُ.

And I, Jehovah, will be their God, and my servant David ruler among them. I, Jehovah, have spoken it.

٢٥ 25 وَأَقْطَعُ مَعَهُمْ عَهْدَ سَلَامٍ، وَأَنْزِعُ ٱلْوُحُوشَ ٱلرَّدِيئَةَ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَيَسْكُنُونَ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ مُطْمَئِنِّينَ وَيَنَامُونَ فِي ٱلْوُعُورِ.

And I will make a covenant of peace with them, and will cause evil beasts to cease out of the land, and they shall dwell securely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.

٢٦ 26 وَأَجْعَلُهُمْ وَمَا حَوْلَ أَكَمَتِي بَرَكَةً، وَأُنْزِلُ عَلَيْهِمِ ٱلْمَطَرَ فِي وَقْتِهِ فَتَكُونُ أَمْطَارَ بَرَكَةٍ.

And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing, and I will cause the shower to come down in its season; there shall be showers of blessing.

٢٧ 27 وَتُعْطِي شَجَرَةُ ٱلْحَقْلِ ثَمَرَتَهَا، وَتُعْطِي ٱلْأَرْضُ غَلَّتَهَا، وَيَكُونُونَ آمِنِينَ فِي أَرْضِهِمْ، وَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ عِنْدَ تَكْسِيرِي رُبُطَ نِيرِهِمْ، وَإِذَا أَنْقَذْتُهُمْ مِنْ يَدِ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱسْتَعْبَدُوهُمْ.

And 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 Jehovah when I have broken the bars of their yoke, and have delivered them out of the hand of those who made bondmen of them.

٢٨ 28 فَلَا يَكُونُونَ بَعْدُ غَنِيمَةً لِلْأُمَمِ، وَلَا يَأْكُلُهُمْ وَحْشُ ٱلْأَرْضِ، بَلْ يَسْكُنُونَ آمِنِينَ وَلَا مُخِيفٌ.

And they shall no more be a prey to the nations, nor shall the beasts of the earth devour them, but they shall dwell securely, and none shall make them afraid.

٢٩ 29 وَأُقِيمُ لَهُمْ غَرْسًا لِصِيتٍ فَلَا يَكُونُونَ بَعْدُ مَفْنِيِّي ٱلْجُوعِ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَلَا يَحْمِلُونَ بَعْدُ تَعْيِيرَ ٱلْأُمَمِ.

And I will raise up to them a plantation for renown, and they shall no more be consumed with famine in the land, nor bear the shame of the nations any more.

٣٠ 30 فَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُهُمْ مَعَهُمْ، وَهُمْ شَعْبِي بَيْتُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

And they shall know that I, Jehovah, their God am with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are my people, says the lord Jehovah.

٣١ 31 وَأَنْتُمْ يَا غَنَمِي، غَنَمُ مَرْعَايَ، أُنَاسٌ أَنْتُمْ. أَنَا إِلَهُكُمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ».

And ye my sheep, the sheep of my pasture, are men, and I am your God, says the lord Jehovah.
