1 A nd there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,

وَأتَتْ إلَيَّ كَلِمَةُ اللهِ:

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 the shepherds of Israel, Who have been feeding themselves! The flock do not the shepherds feed?

«يا إنْسانُ، تَنَبَّأْ عَلَى رُعاةِ إسْرائِيلَ. تَنَبَّأْ وَقُلْ للِرُّعاةِ هَذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ: وَيلٌ لِرُعاةِ إسْرائِيلَ الَّذيِنَ يَرْعَوْنَ أنفُسَهُمْ. ألا يَنْبَغِي أنْ يَرْعَى الرُّعاةُ الغَنَمَ؟

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

تَأكُلُونَ الدَّسَمَ وَتَلبَسُونَ الصُّوفَ وَتَذبَحُونَ المُسَمَّنَ، وَلَكِنَّكُمْ لا تَرْعَوْنَ الغَنَمَ.

4 T he 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.

لَمْ تُقَوُّوا الضَّعِيفَ، وَلَمْ تُداوُا المَرِيضَ، وَلَمْ تُضَمِّدُوا الجَريحَ، وَلَمْ تَستَرِدُّوا الضّالَ، وَلَمْ تَبحَثُوا عَنِ الضّائِعِ، بَلْ تَسَلَّطْتُمْ عَلَيها بِقُوَّةٍ وَعُنفٍ.

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

فَتَشَتَّتْ لِأنَّها بِلا راعٍ، وَصارَتْ فَرِيسَةً لِكُلِّ حَيَوانٍ بَرِّيٍّ فِي السُّهُولِ.

6 G o 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.

تَشَتَّتَتْ غَنَمِي وَتاهَتْ عَلَى كُلِّ جَبَلٍ وَعَلَى كُلِّ تَلَّةٍ مُرتَفِعَةٍ. تَشَتَّتَتْ عَلَى كُلِّ وَجهِ الأرْضِ، وَلَمْ يَبحَثْ عَنها أحَدٌ.»

7 T herefore, shepherds, hear a word of Jehovah:

«‹لِذَلِكَ، استَمِعُوا إلَى رِسالَةِ اللهِ أيُّها الرُّعاةُ.

8 I 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.

هَذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ: صارَتْ غَنَمِي فَريسَةً وَطَعاماً لِلحَيَواناتِ البَرِّيَّةِ. فَهِيَ بِلا راعٍ، وَرُعاتِي لَمْ يَبحَثُوا عَنْها. أطَعَمُوا أنفَسَهُمْ وَلَمْ يُطعِمُوا غَنَمي. لِهَذا أُقسِمُ بِذاتِي إنِّي سَأُعاقِبُهُمْ.»

9 T herefore, O shepherds, hear a word of Jehovah:

«وَاستَمِعُوا إلَى رِسالَةِ اللهِ أيُّها الرُّعاةُ:

10 T hus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I 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.

هَذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ: سَأُقاوِمُ الرُّعاةَ، وَسَأطلُبُ غَنَمِي مِنهُمْ! سَأعزِلُهُمْ عَنْ رِعايَةِ غَنَمِي، فَلا يَعُودُونَ رُعاةً فِيما بَعْدُ. وَسَأُنقِذُ غَنَمِي مِنْ أفواهِهِمْ، فَلا تَعُودَ طَعاماً لَهُمْ.»

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

فَهَذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ: «سَأبحَثُ عَنْ غَنَمِي بِنَفسِي وَأجِدُها.

12 A s 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.

كَما يَطلُبُ الرّاعِي قَطِيعَهُ وَهُوَ يَمْشِي وَسَطَ الأغنامِ المُنتَشِرَةِ، هَكَذا سَأتَفَحَّصُهُمْ، وَسَأُنقِذُهُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ الأماكِنِ الَّتِي تَشَتَّتُوا فِيها فِي ذَلِكَ الوَقتِ المُظلِمِ الغائِمِ.

13 A nd 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.

سَأُعِيدُهُمْ مِنْ وَسَطِ الشُّعُوبِ الأُخرَى، وَسَأجمَعُهُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ الأراضِي وَأُعِيدُهُمْ إلَى أرْضِهِمْ. ثُمَّ سَأرعاهُمْ عَلَى جِبالِ إسْرائِيلَ، وَفِي كُلِّ وِديانِها وَجَمِيعِ المَناطِقِ السَّكَنِيَّةِ فِي الأرْضِ.

14 W ith 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.

سَأرعاهُمْ فِي مَراعِيَ خَصبَةٍ، وَسَتَمتَدُّ مَراعِيهُمْ حَتَّى أعلَى جِبالِ إسْرائِيلَ. فَيَرتاحُونَ فِي الحُقُولِ الخَصبَةِ، وَيأكُلُونَ فِي المَراعِي الغَنِيَّةِ فَوقَ جِبالِ إسْرائِيلَ.

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

سَأرعاهُمْ أنا بِنَفسِي وَأُرِيحُهُمْ.» يَقُولُ الرّبُّ الإلَهُ.

16 T he 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.

«سَأبحَثُ عَنِ الضّائِعِ وَالضّالِ، وَسَأُعِيدُ التّائِهَ، وَأعصِبُ المَكسُورَ وَالمَجرُوحَ، وَأُقَوٍّيَ المَرِيضَ، وَسَأحرُسُ المُسَمَّنَ. سَأرعاهُمْ بِعَدلٍ وَإنصافٍ.»

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

هَذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ: «وَأنتُمْ يا غَنَمِي، سَأحكُمُ بَينَ كُلِّ واحِدٍ فِيكُمْ، بَينَ الكِباشِ وَالتُّيُوسِ.

18 I s 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,

ألا يَكفِيكُمْ أنَّكُمْ تَرعُونَ فِي المَرعَى الجَيِّدِ؟ فَلِماذا تَدُوسُونَ باقِي مَراعِيَّ بِأرجُلِكُمْ؟ تَشرَبُونَ الماءَ، فلِماذا تُعَكِّرُونَ الماءَ بَعدَما تَشرَبُونَ؟

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

رَعَى غَنَمِي الأرْضَ الَّتِي دُستُمُوها بِأرجُلِكُمْ، وَيَشرَبُونَ مِنْ بِرْكَةِ الماءِ الَّتِي عَكَّرتُمُوها بِأقدامِكُمْ.»

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

لِهَذا، هَذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ: «أنا نَفسِي سَأقضِي بَينَ الخِرافِ السَّمِينَةِ وَالخِرافِ النَّحِيلَةِ.

21 B ecause 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,

فَأنتُمْ تَضرِبُونَ بِالجَنبِ وَالكَتِفِ الخِرافَ الضَّعِيفَةَ، وَتَنطَحُونَ الضِّعافَ بِقرُونِكُمْ حَتَّى شَتَّتُّمُوها فِي كُلِّ اتِّجاهٍ.

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

وَلَكِنِّي سَأُنقِذُ غَنَمِي، فَلَنْ تَعُودَ غَنِيمَةً أوْ فَرِيسَةً فِيما بَعْدُ، وَسَأقضِي بَينَ الخِرافِ.

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

وَسَأُعَيِّنُ لَها راعياً واحِداً مِنْ نَسلِ عَبدِي داوُدَ فَيَرعاها.

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

وَسَأكُونُ أنا اللهَ إلَهاً لَها، وَيَكُونُ قَائِدُها مِنْ نَسلِ عَبدِي دَاودَ. أنا اللهَ تَكَلَّمْتُ.»

25 A nd 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.

«ثُمَّ سَأقطَعُ عَهدَ سَلامٍ مَعَ شَعبِي، وَسَأُزِيلُ الحَيَواناتِ الشَّرِسَةَ مِنَ الأرْضِ، لِيسكُنُوا فِي البَرِّيَّةِ بِأمانٍ، وَيَنامُوا فِي الغاباتِ بِسَلامٍ.

26 A nd 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.

وَسَأجعَلُ شَعبِي بَرَكَةً حَولَ جَبَلِي، وَسَأُرسِلُ الأمطارَ فِي أوقاتِها. سَتَكُونُ الأمطارُ بَرَكَةً لا لَعنَةً.

27 A nd 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 Jehovah, In My breaking the bands of their yoke, And I have delivered them from the hand of those laying service on them.

حِينَئِذٍ، تُثمِرُ أشجارُ الحَقلِ، وَتُعطِي الأرْضُ غَلَّتَها. حِينَئِذٍ، يَعِيشُونَ عَلَى أرْضِهِمْ بِأمانٍ وَبِلا خَوفٍ. وَيَعَلَمُونَ أنِّي أنا اللهُ ، حِينَ أُكَسِّرُ النِّيرَ عنهُمْ وَأُخَلِّصُهُمْ مِنَ الَّذِينَ استَعبَدُوهُمْ.

28 A nd 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.

لَنْ يَعُودُوا فَرِيسَةً وَلا غَنِيمَةً لِلأُمَمِ، وَلَنْ تَفتَرِسَهُمُ الحَيَواناتُ البَرِّيَّةُ. سَيَسْكُنُونَ بِأمانٍ، وَلنْ يُخِيفَهُمْ شَيءٌ.

29 A nd 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.

وَسَأُقِيمُ لَهُمْ أرْضاً خَصبَةً، فَلا يَجُوعُونَ. وَلَنْ يَسمَعُوا تَعيِيراتِ الأُمَمِ فِيما بَعدُ.

30 A nd they have known that I, Jehovah, their God, with them, And they -- the house of Israel -- My people, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.

حِينَئِذٍ، سَيَعرِفُونَ أنِّي أنا إلَهَهُمْ مَعَهُمْ، وَبِأنَّهُمْ إسْرائِيلُ شَعبِي.» يَقُولُ الرّبُّ الإلَهُ.

31 A nd ye, My flock, the flock of My pasture, Men ye -- I your God, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah!'

«وَأنتُمْ غَنَمِي فِي مَرعايَ، أنتُمْ شَعبِي، وَأنا إلَهُكُمْ.» يَقُولُ الرّبُّ الإلَهُ.
