1 A nd the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea,

2 “ Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God to the shepherds: “Woe to the shepherds of Israel who feed themselves! Should not the shepherds feed the flocks?

E te tama a te tangata, poropititia he he mo nga hepara o Iharaira, poropititia, mea atu ki a ratou, ara ki nga hepara, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa mo nga hepara; Aue, te mate mo nga hepara o Iharaira, e whangai nei i a ratou ano! He tek a ianei me whangai te kahui e nga hepara?

3 Y ou eat the fat and clothe yourselves with the wool; you slaughter the fatlings, but you do not feed the flock.

E kainga ana te ngako e koutou, e kakahuria ana e koutou te huruhuru, e patua ana e koutou nga mea momona; ko nga hipi ia, kahore ratou e whangaia e koutou.

4 T he weak you have not strengthened, nor have you healed those who were sick, nor bound up the broken, nor brought back what was driven away, nor sought what was lost; but with force and cruelty you have ruled them.

Kihai i whakakahangia e koutou nga turoro, kihai nga mea mate i rongoatia e koutou, te mea i whati kihai i takaia e koutou, kihai ano i whakahokia mai e koutou te mea i aia atu, kihai i rapua te mea i ngaro; heoi he taikaha, he nanakia, ta koutou whakahaere tikanga ki a ratou.

5 S o they were scattered because there was no shepherd; and they became food for all the beasts of the field when they were scattered.

Na marara noa atu ratou i te kore hepara: riro ana hei kai ma nga kirehe katoa o te parae, a i marara noa atu ratou.

6 M y sheep wandered through all the mountains, and on every high hill; yes, My flock was scattered over the whole face of the earth, and no one was seeking or searching for them. ”

I atiutiu noa atu aku hipi i runga i nga maunga katoa, i runga i nga pukepuke tiketike katoa: i marara noa atu aku hipi i runga i te mata katoa o te whenua, kahore hoki he tangata hei rapu, hei whakataki i a ratou.

7 ‘ Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the Lord:

Mo reira, e nga hepara, whakarongo ki te kupu a Ihowa;

8 “ As I live,” says the Lord God, “surely because My flock became a prey, and My flock became food for every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, nor did My shepherds search for My flock, but the shepherds fed themselves and did not feed My flock”—

E ora ana ahau, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa, na kua waiho nei aku hipi hei taonga parau, kua waiho ano aku hipi hei kai ma nga kirehe katoa o te parae, i te kore hepara, kihai nei hoki aku hepara i rapu i aku hipi, heoi whangaia ana ko ratou ano e nga hepara, kihai i whangai i aku hipi;

9 t herefore, O shepherds, hear the word of the Lord!

Mo reira, e nga hepara, whakarongo ki te kupu a Ihowa;

10 T hus says the Lord God: “Behold, I am against the shepherds, and I will require My flock at their hand; I will cause them to cease feeding the sheep, and the shepherds shall feed themselves no more; for I will deliver My flock from their mouths, that they may no longer be food for them.” God, the True Shepherd

Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Hei hoariri tenei ahau mo nga hepara; a ka rapu utu ahau mo aku hipi i o ratou ringa, ka whakamutua ano e ahau ta ratou whangai hipi; e kore hoki nga hepara e whangai i a ratou ano i muri nei; a ka whakaoran gia e ahau aku hipi i roto i o ratou mangai, kei waiho hei kai ma ratou.

11 ‘ For thus says the Lord God: “Indeed I Myself will search for My sheep and seek them out.

Ko te kupu hoki tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Nana, ka rapu ahau, ahau tonu nei, i aku hipi, ka kimihia marietia.

12 A s a shepherd seeks out his flock on the day he is among his scattered sheep, so will I seek out My sheep and deliver them from all the places where they were scattered on a cloudy and dark day.

Ka rite ki te kimi a te hepara i tana kahui i te ra e tae ai ia ki roto ki ana hipi kua tohatoha noa atu, ka pena ano taku kimi i aku hipi; ka whakaorangia ano ratou e ahau i nga wahi katoa i marara atu ai ratou i te ra tukupu, i te ra pouri.

13 A nd I will bring them out from the peoples and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land; I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, in the valleys and in all the inhabited places of the country.

Ka whakaputaina ano ratou e ahau i roto i nga iwi, ka whakaminea mai i nga whenua, ka kawea hoki ki to ratou oneone; a ka whangaia ratou e ahau ki runga ki nga maunga o Iharaira, ki te taha o nga awa, ki nga wahi katoa o te whenua e nohoia ana.

14 I will feed them in good pasture, and their fold shall be on the high mountains of Israel. There they shall lie down in a good fold and feed in rich pasture on the mountains of Israel.

Ka whangaia ratou e ahau i te wahi tarutaru pai, a hei runga i nga maunga tiketike o Iharaira he puninga mo ratou: ka takoto ratou ki reira ki te puninga pai, ka kai ano ratou i runga i nga maunga o Iharaira i nga wahi momona te tarutaru.

15 I will feed My flock, and I will make them lie down,” says the Lord God.

Ko ahau tonu hei whangai i aku hipi, ko ahau ano hei mea i a ratou kia takoto, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.

16 “ I will seek what was lost and bring back what was driven away, bind up the broken and strengthen what was sick; but I will destroy the fat and the strong, and feed them in judgment.”

Maku e rapu te mea i ngaro, maku ano e whakahoki mai te mea i aia atu, maku e takai te mea i whati, maku ano e whakakaha te mea turoro: na, ko te mea momona, ko te mea kaha, ka ngaro i ahau; ka whangaia ratou e ahau i runga i te whakawa.

17 ‘ And as for you, O My flock, thus says the Lord God: “Behold, I shall judge between sheep and sheep, between rams and goats.

Na, ko koutou, e aku hipi, ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Nana, ka whakaritea e ahau te whakawa a tetahi hipi ki tetahi hipi, a nga hipi toa ano ratou ko nga koati toa.

18 I s it too little for you to have eaten up the good pasture, that you must tread down with your feet the residue of your pasture—and to have drunk of the clear waters, that you must foul the residue with your feet?

He mea iti ianei ki a koutou ta koutou kai i nga wahi tarutaru pai, i takahia ai e koutou te toenga o ta koutou kai ki o koutou waewae? ta koutou inu hoki i nga wai purata, a whakapokea ake e koutou te toenga ki o koutou waewae?

19 A nd as for My flock, they eat what you have trampled with your feet, and they drink what you have fouled with your feet.”

Na, ko aku hipi, ka kai ratou i nga takahanga a o koutou waewae, ka inu hoki i ta o koutou waewae i whakapoke ai.

20 ‘ Therefore thus says the Lord God to them: “Behold, I Myself will judge between the fat and the lean sheep.

Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, ki a ratou; Nana, maku, maku tonu nei e whakarite te whakawa a te hipi momona raua ko te hipi hiroki.

21 B ecause you have pushed with side and shoulder, butted all the weak ones with your horns, and scattered them abroad,

No te mea kua tute koutou ki o koutou kaokao, ki o koutou peke, a kua akina e koutou nga mea mate ki o koutou hoana, a marara ake ratou i a koutou ki waho noa atu;

22 t herefore I will save My flock, and they shall no longer be a prey; and I will judge between sheep and sheep.

Na reira ka whakaora ahau i aku hipi; e kore ano ratou e waiho i muri nei hei pahuatanga; ka whakaritea ano e ahau te whakawa a tetahi hipi ki tetahi hipi.

23 I will establish one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them—My servant David. He shall feed them and be their shepherd.

A ka whakaritea e ahau kotahi te hepara mo ratou, mana ratou e whangai, ara taku pononga a Rawiri; mana ratou e whangai, a ko ia hei hepara mo ratou.

24 A nd I, the Lord, will be their God, and My servant David a prince among them; I, the Lord, have spoken.

Ko ahau, ko Ihowa, hei Atua mo ratou, a ko taku pononga, ko Rawiri, hei rangatira i roto i a ratou; naku, na Ihowa, te kupu.

25 “ I will make a covenant of peace with them, and cause wild beasts to cease from the land; and they will dwell safely in the wilderness and sleep in the woods.

Ka whakaritea ano e ahau he kawenata mo te rongo mau ki a ratou, ka whakamutua hoki te noho o nga kirehe kikino ki te whenua; a ka noho ratou ki te koraha, te ai he wehi, ka moe ano ki nga ngahere.

26 I will make them and the places all around My hill a blessing; and I will cause showers to come down in their season; there shall be showers of blessing.

A ka meinga ratou e ahau, me nga wahi ano i toku pukepuke a karapoi noa, hei manaakitanga; a ka meinga e ahau te ua kia heke iho i te wa i tika ai; a ka uaina iho nga manaaki.

27 T hen the trees of the field shall yield their fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase. They shall be safe in their land; and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have broken the bands of their yoke and delivered them from the hand of those who enslaved them.

Na ka hua nga hua o te rakau o te parae, ka tukua mai ano ona mau e te whenua, ka noho humarie hoki ratou ki to ratou whenua; ka mohio ano ratou ko Ihowa ahau, ina motu i ahau nga here o to ratou ioka, a ka riro ratou i ahau i roto i te ringa o o ratou kaiwhakamahi.

28 A nd they shall no longer be a prey for the nations, nor shall beasts of the land devour them; but they shall dwell safely, and no one shall make them afraid.

A, e kore ratou e waiho i muri nei hei pahuatanga ma nga iwi, e kore hoki e kainga e te kirehe o te whenua; engari ka noho humarie ratou, te ai he kaiwhakawehi.

29 I will raise up for them a garden of renown, and they shall no longer be consumed with hunger in the land, nor bear the shame of the Gentiles anymore.

A ka ara i ahau he mahuri whai ingoa ma ratou, e kore hoki ratou e riro i te hemokai i runga i te whenua, e kore ano e mau ki a ratou te numinumi i nga tauiwi a muri ake nei.

30 T hus they shall know that I, the Lord their God, am with them, and they, the house of Israel, are My people,” says the Lord God.’

Na, ka mohio ratou ko ahau, ko Ihowa, ko to ratou Atua, kei a ratou, a ko ratou, ko te whare o Iharaira, he iwi naku, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.

31 “ You are My flock, the flock of My pasture; you are men, and I am your God,” says the Lord God.

Na, ko koutou, ko aku hipi, ko nga hipi e whangaia ana e ahau, he tangata koutou, ko ahau hoki to koutou Atua, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.
