Ezekiel 34
1 The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
上主的話傳給我說：「
2 “Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel. Prophesy, and tell them, even the shepherds, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Woe to the shepherds of Israel who feed themselves! Shouldn’t the shepherds feed the sheep?
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 You eat the fat. You clothe yourself with the wool. You kill the fatlings, but you don’t feed the sheep.
你們吃羊奶，穿羊毛衣，宰肥羊，卻不牧養羊群：
4 You haven’t strengthened the diseased. You haven’t healed that which was sick. You haven’t bound up that which was broken. You haven’t brought back that which was driven away. You haven’t sought that which was lost, but you have ruled over them with force and with rigor.
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 They were scattered, because there was no shepherd. They became food to all the animals of the field, and were scattered.
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 sheep wandered through all the mountains and on every high hill. Yes, my sheep were scattered on all the surface of the earth. There was no one who searched or sought.”
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 “‘Therefore, you shepherds, hear the LORD’s word:
為此牧者啊，聽上主的話罷!
8 “As I live,” says the Lord GOD, “surely because my sheep became a prey, and my sheep became food to all the animals of the field, because there was no shepherd, and my shepherds didn’t search for my sheep, but the shepherds fed themselves, and didn’t feed my sheep,
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 therefore, you shepherds, hear the LORD’s word!”
為此，牧者啊，聽上主的話罷!
10 The Lord GOD says: “Behold, I am against the shepherds. I will require my sheep at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the sheep. The shepherds won’t feed themselves any more. I will deliver my sheep from their mouth, that they may not be food for them.”
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 says: “Behold, I myself, even I, will search for my sheep, and will seek them out.
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 shepherd seeks out his flock in the day that he is amongst his sheep that are scattered abroad, so I will seek out my sheep. I will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.
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 I will bring them out from the peoples, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them into their own land. I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the watercourses, and in all the inhabited places of the country.
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 I will feed them with good pasture, and their fold will be on the mountains of the height of Israel. There they will lie down in a good fold. They will feed on rich pasture on the mountains 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 I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I will cause them to lie down,” says 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 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.”’
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 “As for you, O my flock, the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I judge between sheep and sheep, the rams and the male goats.
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 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 must you foul the residue with your 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 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.’
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 “Therefore the Lord GOD says to them: ‘Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep.
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 Because you thrust with side and with shoulder, and push all the diseased with your horns, until you have scattered them abroad,
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 therefore I will save my flock, and they will no more be a prey. I will judge between sheep and sheep.
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 I will set up one shepherd over them, and he will feed them, even my servant David. He will feed them, and he will be their shepherd.
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 I, the LORD, will be their God, and my servant David prince amongst them. I, the LORD, have spoken it.
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 “‘I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause evil animals to cease out of the land. They will dwell securely in the wilderness and sleep in the woods.
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 I will make them and the places around my hill a blessing. I will cause the shower to come down in its season. There will be showers of blessing.
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 The tree of the field will yield its fruit, and the earth will yield its increase, and they will be secure in their land. Then they will 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.
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 They will no more be a prey to the nations, neither will the animals of the earth devour them; but they will dwell securely, and no one will make them afraid.
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 I will raise up to them a plantation for renown, and they will no more be consumed with famine in the land, and not bear the shame of the nations any more.
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 They will know that I, the LORD, their God am with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are my people, says 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 You my sheep, the sheep of my pasture, are men, and I am your God,’ says 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。」
