Ezekiel 34

1 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

1 وَأَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً:

2 “Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel. Prophesy and tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Woe to the shepherds of Israel, who only feed themselves! Should not the shepherds feed their flock?

2 «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، تَنَبَّأْ عَلَى رُعَاةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ لَهُمُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: وَيْلٌ لِرُعَاةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا مُنْهَمِكِينَ فِي رِعَايَةِ أَنْفُسِهِمْ. أَلَيْسَ مِنْ شَأْنِ الرُّعَاةِ رِعَايَةُ الْغَنَمِ؟

3 You eat the fat, wear the wool, and butcher the fattened sheep, but you do not feed the flock.

3 إِنَّمَا أَنْتُمْ تَأْكُلُونَ الشَّحْمَ، وَتَرْتَدُونَ الصُّوفَ، وَتَذْبَحُونَ الْخَرُوفَ السَّمِينَ، وَلا تَرْعَوْنَ الْغَنَمَ.

4 You have not strengthened the weak, healed the sick, bound up the injured, brought back the strays, or searched for the lost. Instead, you have ruled them with violence and cruelty.

4 فَالْمَرِيضُ لَمْ تُقَوُّوهُ، وَالْمَجْرُوحُ لَمْ تَعْصِبُوهُ، وَالْمَكْسُورُ لَمْ تَجْبُرُوهُ، وَالْمَطْرُودُ لَمْ تَسَتَرْجِعُوهُ، وَالضَّالُّ لَمْ تَبْحَثُوا عَنْهُ، بَلْ تَسَلَّطْتُمْ عَلَيْهِمْ بِقَسْوَةٍ وَعُنْفٍ.

5 They were scattered for lack of a shepherd, and when they were scattered they became food for all the wild beasts.

5 فَتَشَتَّتَتِ الرَّعِيَّةُ وَأَضْحَتْ بِلا رَاعٍ، وَصَارَتْ قُوتاً لِجَمِيعِ وُحُوشِ الْبَرِّيَّةِ.

6 My flock went astray on all the mountains and every high hill. They were scattered over the face of all the earth, with no one to search for them or seek them out.’

6 ضَلَّتْ غَنَمِي بَيْنَ الْجِبَالِ وَفَوْقَ كُلِّ أَكَمَةٍ مُرْتَفِعَةٍ. تَبَدَّدَتْ غَنَمِي فِي الْعَرَاءِ وَلَمْ يُوْجَدْ مَنْ يَنْشُدُهَا أَوْ يَلْتَمِسُهَا.

7 Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the LORD:

7 لِذَلِكَ اسْمَعُوا أَيُّهَا الرُّعَاةُ كَلامَ الرَّبِّ:

8 ‘As surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, because My flock lacks a shepherd and has become prey and food for every wild beast, and because My shepherds did not search for My flock but fed themselves instead,

8 حَيٌّ أَنَا يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ، لأَنَّ غَنَمِي بَاتَتْ غَنِيمَةً وَصَارَتْ قُوتاً لِكُلِّ وَحْشِ الْبَرِّيَّةِ، إِذْ لَمْ يَكُنْ هُنَاكَ رَاعٍ وَلا سَأَلَ رُعَاتِي عَنْ غَنَمِي، بَلِ انْهَمَكُوا فِي رِعَايَةِ أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَأَهْمَلُوا غَنَمِي،

9 therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the LORD!’

9 لِذَلِكَ، اسْمَعُوا أَيُّهَا الرُّعَاةُ كَلامَ الرَّبِّ:

10 This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I am against the shepherds, and I will demand from them My flock and remove them from tending the flock, so that they can no longer feed themselves. For I will deliver My flock from their mouths, and it will no longer be food for them.’

10 هَا أَنَا أَنْقَلِبُ عَلَى الرُّعَاةِ وَأُطَالِبُهُمْ بِغَنَمِي، وَأَعْزِلُهُمْ عَنْ رِعَايَتِهَا، فَلا يَرْعَوْنَ حَتَّى أَنْفُسَهُمْ بَعْدُ. وَأُنْقِذُ غَنَمِي مِنْ أَفْوَاهِهِم فَلا تَكُونُ لَهُمْ مَأْكَلاً.

11 For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I Myself will search for My flock and seek them out.

11 لأَنَّ هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: هَا أَنَا أَبْحَثُ عَنْ غَنَمِي وَأَفْتَقِدُهَا.

12 As a shepherd looks for his scattered sheep when he is among the flock, so I will look for My flock. I will rescue them from all the places to which they were scattered on a day of clouds and darkness.

12 وَكَمَا يَتَفَقَّدُ الرَّاعِي قَطِيعَهُ فِي الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي يَكُونُ فِيهِ بَيْنَ غَنَمِهِ الْمُشَتَّتَةِ، هَكَذَا أَتَفَقَّدُ قَطِيعِي وَأُخَلِّصُهُ مِنْ كُلِّ الأَمَاكِنِ الَّتِي تَفَرَّقَ إِلَيْهَا فِي يَوْمٍ غَائِمٍ كَئِيبٍ.

13 I will bring them out from the peoples, gather them from the countries, and bring them into their own land. I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, in the ravines, and in all the settlements of the land.

13 وَأُخْرِجُهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ الشُّعُوبِ وَأَجْمَعُهُ مِنَ الْبُلْدَانِ، وَأَرُدُّهُ إِلَى أَرْضِهِ، حَيْثُ أَرْعَاهُ عَلَى جِبَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَفِي الأَوْدِيَةِ وَفِي جَمِيعِ أَمَاكِنِ الأَرْضِ الآهِلَةِ.

14 I will feed them in good pasture, and the lofty mountains of Israel will be their grazing land. There they will lie down in a good grazing land; they will feed in rich pasture on the mountains of Israel.

14 وَأَرْعَاهُ فِي مُرُوجٍ خَصِيبَةٍ، وَتَكُونُ جِبَالُ إِسْرَائِيلَ الشَّاهِقَةُ مَرَاعِيَ رَائِعَةً يُرْبِضُونَ فِي مَرَاحِهَا الطَّيِّبِ، وَيَرْعَوْنَ فِي مَرَاعٍ خَصِيبَةٍ عَلَى جِبَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

15 I will tend My flock and make them lie down, declares the Lord GOD.

15 أَنَا أَرْعَى غَنَمِي وَأُرْبِضُهَا يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ،

16 I will seek the lost, bring back the strays, bind up the broken, and strengthen the weak; but the sleek and strong I will destroy. I will shepherd them with justice.’

16 وَأَطْلُبُ الضَّالَّ وَأَسْتَرْجِعُ الْمَطْرُودَ وَأَجْبُرُ الْكَسِيرَ وَأَعْصِبُ الْجَرِيحَ وَأَسْتَأْصِلُ السَّمِينَ وَالْقَوِيَّ، وَأَرْعَاهَا بِعَدْلٍ.

17 This is what the Lord GOD says to you, My flock: ‘I will judge between one sheep and another, between the rams and the goats.

17 أَمَّا أَنْتُمْ يَا غَنَمِي فَهَا أَنَا أَقْضِي بَيْنَ شَاةٍ وَشَاةٍ، وَبَيْنَ كِبَاشٍ وَتُيُوسٍ.

18 Is it not enough for you to feed on the good pasture? Must you also trample the rest of the pasture with your feet? Is it not enough for you to drink the clear waters? Must you also muddy the rest with your feet?

18 أَتَحْسُبُونَ أَنَّهُ أَمْرٌ تَافِهٌ أَنْ تَرْعَوْا فِي الْمَرْعَى الْخَصِيبِ وَتَدُوسُوا بِأَرْجُلِكُمْ بَقِيَّةَ الْمَرَاعِي؟ وَأَنْ تَشْرَبُوا مِنَ الْمِيَاهِ الصَّافِيَةِ وَتُعَكِّرُوا بَقِيَّتَهَا بِأَقْدَامِكُمْ؟

19 Why must My flock feed on what your feet have trampled, and drink what your feet have muddied?’

19 فَيَتَحَتَّمَ عَلَى غَنَمِي أَنْ تَرْعَى مَا دَاسَتْهُ أَقْدَامُكُمْ وَتَشْرَبَ مَا كَدَّرَتْهُ أَرْجُلُكُمْ.

20 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says to them: ‘Behold, I Myself will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep.

20 لِذَلِكَ هَا أَنَا أَقْضِي بَيْنَ الشَّاةِ السَّمِينَةِ وَالشَّاةِ الْهَزِيلَةِ،

21 Since you shove with flank and shoulder, butting all the weak ones with your horns until you have scattered them abroad,

21 لأَنَّكُمْ دَفَعْتُمْ بِالْجَنْبِ وَالْكَتِفِ الشَّاةَ الْمَرِيضَةَ وَنَطَحْتُمُوهَا بِقُرُونِكُمْ حَتَّى شَتَّتُّمُوهَا إِلَى خَارِجٍ.

22 I will save My flock, and they will no longer be prey. I will judge between one sheep and another.

22 وَلَكِنِّي أُنْقِذُ غَنَمِي فَلا تَكُونُ مِنْ بَعْدُ غَنِيمَةً، وَأَقْضِي بَيْنَ شَاةٍ وَشَاةٍ،

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

23 وَأَنْصِبُ عَلَيْهَا رَاعِياً وَاحِداً عَبْدِي دَاوُدَ يَرْعَاهَا بِنَفْسِهِ وَيَكُونُ لَهَا رَاعِياً أَمِيناً.

24 I, the LORD, will be their God, and My servant David will be a prince among them. I, the LORD, have spoken.

24 وَأَنَا الرَّبُّ أَكُونُ لَهُمْ إِلَهاً، وَعَبْدِي دَاُودُ يَكُونُ لَهُمْ رَئِيساً. أَنَا الرَّبُّ تَكَلَّمْتُ.

25 I will make with them a covenant of peace and rid the land of wild animals, so that they may dwell securely in the wilderness and sleep in the forest.

25 وَأُبْرِمُ مَعَهُمْ مِيثَاقَ سَلامٍ، وَأَقْضِي عَلَى الْوُحُوشِ الضَّارِيَةِ فِي الأَرْضِ فَيُقِيمُونَ فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ آمِنِينَ، وَيَنَامُونَ فِي الْغَابَاتِ مُطْمَئِنِّينَ.

26 I will make them and the places around My hill a blessing. I will send down showers in season—showers of blessing.

26 وَأَجْعَلُهُمْ مَعَ مَا يُحِيطُ بِأَكَمَتِي بَرَكَةً، وَأَسْكُبُ عَلَيْهِمِ الْمَطَرَ فِي أَوَانِهِ، فَتَكُونُ أَمْطَارَ بَرَكَةٍ.

27 The trees of the field will give their fruit, and the land will yield its produce; My flock 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 delivered them from the hands that enslaved them.

27 وَتُثْمِرُ شَجَرَةُ الْحَقْلِ، وَتُنْتِجُ الأَرْضُ غَلَّتَهَا، وَيَكُونُونَ آمِنِينَ فِي دِيَارِهِمْ، وَيُدْرِكُونَ عِنْدَمَا أُحَطِّمُ نِيرَهُمْ وَأُنْقِذُهُمْ مِنْ قَبْضَةِ مُسْتَعْبِدِيهِمْ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ.

28 They will no longer be prey for the nations, and the beasts of the earth will not consume them. They will dwell securely, and no one will frighten them.

28 فَلا يَكُونُونَ بَعْدُ غَنِيمَةً لِلأُمَمِ، وَلا يَفْتَرِسُهُمْ وَحْشُ الأَرْضِ، بَلْ يَسْكُنُونَ آمِنِينَ لَا يُفْزِعُهُمْ أَحَدٌ.

29 And I will raise up for them a garden of renown, and they will no longer be victims of famine in the land or bear the scorn of the nations.

29 وَأُقِيمُ لَهُمْ مَغْرَساً ذَائِعَ الصِّيتِ، فَلا يَكُونُونَ بَعْدُ ضَحَايَا مَجَاعَةٍ فِي الأَرْضِ، وَلا يَتَحَمَّلُونَ بَعْدُ مَشَقَّةَ تَعْيِيرِ الأُمَمِ،

30 Then they will know that I, the LORD their God, am with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are My people,’ declares the Lord GOD.

30 فَيُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُهُمْ مَعَهُمْ، وَأَنَّهُمْ شَعْبِي بَيْتُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ.

31 ‘You are My flock, the sheep of My pasture, My people, and I am your God,’ declares the Lord GOD.”

31 وَأَنْتُمْ يَا قَطِيعِي غَنَمَ مَرْعَايَ، أَنْتُمْ بَشَرٌ وَأَنَا إِلَهُكُمْ يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ».
