¹谴责失职的牧者

¹And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,

²“人子啊！你要说预言攻击以色列众牧者；你要对他们说预言：‘主耶和华这样说：以色列众牧者有祸了！他们只顾牧养自己。牧者岂不应当牧养羊群吗？

²`Son of man, prophesy concerning shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and thou hast said unto them: To the shepherds, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Wo [to] the shepherds of Israel, Who have been feeding themselves! The flock do not the shepherds feed?

³你们吃脂油、穿羊毛，宰肥壮的羊，却不牧养羊群。

³The fat ye do eat, and the wool ye put on, The fed one ye slaughter, the flock ye feed not.

⁴瘦弱的，你们没有养壮；患病的，你们没有医治；受伤的，你们没有包扎；被赶散的，你们没有领回；迷失的，你们没有寻找；你们反而用强暴严严地管辖它们。

⁴The weak ye have not strengthened, And the sick one ye have not healed, And the broken ye have not bound up, And the driven away have not brought back, And the lost ye have not sought, And with might ye have ruled them and with rigour.

⁵它们没有牧人，就分散了，作了田野一切走兽的食物。

⁵And they are scattered from want of a shepherd, And are for food to every beast of the field, Yea, they are scattered.

⁶我的羊在众山和各高冈上流离；它们分散在全地上，没有人去寻，也没有人去找。

⁶Go astray do My flock on all the mountains, And on every high hill, And on all the face of the land have My flock been scattered, And there is none inquiring, and none seeking.

⁷“‘因此，你们这些作牧者的，要听耶和华的话：

⁷Therefore, shepherds, hear a word of Jehovah:

⁸我指着我的永生起誓，我的羊因没有牧人，就成了猎物，作了田野一切走兽的食物。我的众牧者不寻找我的羊；他们只顾牧养自己，却不牧养我的羊。这是主耶和华的宣告。

⁸I live — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, If not, because of My flock being for a prey, Yea, My flock is for food to every beast of the field, Because there is no shepherd, And My shepherds have not sought My flock, And the shepherds do feed themselves, And My flock they have not fed.

⁹因此，你们这些作牧者的，要听耶和华的话。

⁹Therefore, O shepherds, hear a word of Jehovah:

¹⁰主耶和华这样说：看哪！我要与众牧者为敌；我必向他们追讨我的羊，使他们不再牧养羊群，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。

¹⁰Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I [am] against the shepherds, And have required My flock from their hand, And caused them to cease from feeding the flock, And no more do the shepherds feed themselves, And I have delivered My flock from their mouth, And they are not to them for food.

¹¹耶和华亲自作以色列的牧者“‘因为主耶和华这样说：看哪！我必亲自寻觅我的羊，把它们找出来。

¹¹For thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I — even I, have required My flock, And I have sought it out.

¹²牧人在他的羊群四散的时候，怎样寻找他的羊，我也必照样寻找我的羊。这些羊在密云幽暗的日子四散到各处，我要把它们从那里救回来。

¹²As a shepherd`s searching of his drove, In the day of his being in the midst of his scattered flock, so I do seek My flock, And have delivered them out of all places, Whither they have been scattered, In a day of cloud and thick darkness.

¹³我必把它们从万族中领出来，从列邦中聚集它们，领它们归回故土。我必在以色列的群山上，在众溪水旁，在国内一切居住的地方，牧养它们。

¹³And brought them out from the peoples, And have gathered them from the lands, And brought them unto their own ground, And have fed them on mountains of Israel, By streams, and by all dwellings of the land.

¹⁴我必在美好的草场上牧养它们，以色列的高山必作牧放它们的地方。在那里它们必躺卧在美好的牧场上，它们必在以色列群山肥美的草场上吃草。

¹⁴With good pasture I do feed them, And on mountains of the high place of Israel is their habitation, There do they lie down in a good habitation, And fat pastures they enjoy on mountains of Israel.

¹⁵我必亲自牧养我的羊，亲自使它们躺卧。这是主耶和华的宣告。

¹⁵I feed My flock, and cause them to lie down, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.

¹⁶迷失的，我必寻找；被赶散的，我必领回；受伤的，我必包扎；患病的，我必养壮；肥壮的，我却要除灭。我也必按着公正牧养它们。

¹⁶The lost I seek, and the driven away bring back, And the broken I bind up, and the sick I strengthen, And the fat and the strong I destroy, I feed it with judgment.

¹⁷惩罚恶羊“‘我的羊啊！论到你们，主耶和华这样说：我要在羊与羊之间，在公绵羊与公山羊之间，施行审判。

¹⁷And you, My flock, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am judging between sheep and sheep, Between rams and he-goats.

¹⁸你们在美好的草场上吃草，还不知足吗？剩下的草，你们竟用脚践踏；你们喝了清水，剩下的你们竟用脚搅浊。

¹⁸Is it a little thing for you — the good pasture ye enjoy, And the remnant of your pasture ye tread down with your feet, And a depth of waters ye do drink, And the remainder with your feet ye trample,

¹⁹我的羊，就只能吃你们用脚践踏过的，喝你们用脚搅浊了的。

¹⁹And My flock the trodden thing of your feet consumeth, And the trampled thing of your feet drinketh?

²⁰“‘因此，主耶和华对它们这样说：看哪！我必亲自在肥羊与瘦羊之间施行审判。

²⁰Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah to them: Lo, I — even I, have judged between fat sheep and lean sheep.

²¹因为你们用腰用肩拥挤所有瘦弱的，又用角抵触它们，直到把它们驱散到外面，

²¹Because with side and with shoulder ye thrust away, And with your horns push all the diseased, Till ye have scattered them to the out-place,

²²所以我必拯救我的羊，使它们不再作猎物。我要在羊与羊之间施行审判。

²²And I have given safety to My flock, And they are not any more for prey, And I have judged between sheep and sheep.

²³弥赛亚的预言“‘我必立一个牧人，就是我的仆人大卫，看管它们，牧养它们。他必牧养它们，作它们的牧人。

²³And have raised up over them one shepherd, And he hath fed them — my servant David, He doth feed them, and he is their shepherd,

²⁴我耶和华必作它们的　神，我的仆人大卫要在它们中间作领袖。我耶和华已经说了。

²⁴And I, Jehovah, I am their God, And My servant David prince in their midst, I, Jehovah, have spoken.

²⁵“‘我必与它们立平安的约，使恶兽从境内灭绝，它们就可以在旷野安居，在树林中躺卧。

²⁵And I have made for them a covenant of peace, And caused evil beasts to cease out of the land, And they have dwelt in a wilderness confidently, And they have slept in forests.

²⁶我必使他们和我的山四围都蒙福；我必按时降雨，这就是赐福的雨。

²⁶And I have given them, and the suburbs of my hill, a blessing, And caused the shower to come down in its season, Showers of blessing they are.

²⁷田野的树木必结果子，地也必有出产；他们必在自己的土地上安居。我打断他们所负的轭，救他们脱离奴役者的手的时候，他们就知道我是耶和华。

²⁷And given hath the tree of the field its fruit, And the land doth give her increase, And they have been on their land confident, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah, In My breaking the bands of their yoke, And I have delivered them from the hand of those laying service on them.

²⁸他们必不再作列国的猎物，地上的野兽也不再吞吃他们；他们必安然居住，没有人惊吓他们。

²⁸And they are no more a prey to nations, And the beast of the earth devoureth them not, And they have dwelt confidently, And there is none troubling.

²⁹我必给他们兴起一个以种植闻名的地方，使他们在境内不再被饥荒消灭，也不再担当列国的羞辱。

²⁹And I have raised for them a plant for renown, And they are no more consumed by hunger in the land, And they bear no more the shame of the nations.

³⁰那时，他们就知道我耶和华他们的　神与他们同在，并且知道他们以色列家是我的子民。这是主耶和华的宣告。

³⁰And they have known that I, Jehovah, their God, [am] with them, And they — the house of Israel — My people, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.

³¹你们是我的羊，是我草场上的羊；我是你们的　神。这是耶和华的宣告。’”

³¹And ye, My flock, the flock of My pasture, Men ye [are] — I [am] your God, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah!`
