Ezekiel 34

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

1 وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا:

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 ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، تَنَبَّأْ عَلَى رُعَاةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، تَنَبَّأْ وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ لِلرُّعَاةِ: وَيْلٌ لِرُعَاةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَرْعَوْنَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ. أَلَا يَرْعَى ٱلرُّعَاةُ ٱلْغَنَمَ؟

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

3 تَأْكُلُونَ ٱلشَّحْمَ، وَتَلْبَسُونَ ٱلصُّوفَ وَتَذْبَحُونَ ٱلسَّمِينَ، وَلَا تَرْعَوْنَ ٱلْغَنَمَ.

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 ٱلْمَرِيضُ لَمْ تُقَوُّوهُ، وَٱلْمَجْرُوحُ لَمْ تَعْصِبُوهُ، وَٱلْمَكْسُورُ لَمْ تَجْبُرُوهُ، وَٱلْمَطْرُودُ لَمْ تَسْتَرِدُّوهُ، وَٱلضَّالُّ لَمْ تَطْلُبُوهُ، بَلْ بِشِدَّةٍ وَبِعُنْفٍ تَسَلَّطْتُمْ عَلَيْهِمْ.

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

5 فَتَشَتَّتَتْ بِلَا رَاعٍ وَصَارَتْ مَأْكَلًا لِجَمِيعِ وُحُوشِ ٱلْحَقْلِ، وَتَشَتَّتَتْ.

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 فِي كُلِّ ٱلْجِبَالِ، وَعَلَى كُلِّ تَلٍّ عَالٍ، وَعَلَى كُلِّ وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. تَشَتَّتَتْ غَنَمِي وَلَمْ يَكُنْ مَنْ يَسْأَلُ أَوْ يُفَتِّشُ.

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

7 «فَلِذَلِكَ أَيُّهَا ٱلرُّعَاةُ ٱسْمَعُوا كَلَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ:

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 ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ، مِنْ حَيْثُ إِنَّ غَنَمِي صَارَتْ غَنِيمَةً وَصَارَتْ غَنَمِي مَأْكَلًا لِكُلِّ وَحْشِ ٱلْحَقْلِ، إِذْ لَمْ يَكُنْ رَاعٍ وَلَا سَأَلَ رُعَاتِي عَنْ غَنَمِي، وَرَعَى ٱلرُّعَاةُ أَنْفُسَهُمْ وَلَمْ يَرْعَوْا غَنَمِي،

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

9 فَلِذَلِكَ أَيُّهَا ٱلرُّعَاةُ ٱسْمَعُوا كَلَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ:

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 هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَأَنَذَا عَلَى ٱلرُّعَاةِ وَأَطْلُبُ غَنَمِي مِنْ يَدِهِمْ، وَأَكُفُّهُمْ عَنْ رَعْيِ ٱلْغَنَمِ، وَلَا يَرْعَى ٱلرُّعَاةُ أَنْفُسَهُمْ بَعْدُ، فَأُخَلِّصُ غَنَمِي مِنْ أَفْوَاهِهِمْ فَلَا تَكُونُ لَهُمْ مَأْكَلًا.

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

11 لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَأَنَذَا أَسْأَلُ 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 كَمَا يَفْتَقِدُ ٱلرَّاعِي قَطِيعَهُ يَوْمَ يَكُونُ فِي وَسْطِ غَنَمِهِ ٱلْمُشَتَّتَةِ، هَكَذَا أَفْتَقِدُ غَنَمِي وَأُخَلِّصُهَا مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلْأَمَاكِنِ ٱلَّتِي تَشَتَّتَتْ إِلَيْهَا فِي يَوْمِ ٱلْغَيْمِ وَٱلضَّبَابِ.

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 وَأُخْرِجُهَا مِنَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ وَأَجْمَعُهَا مِنَ ٱلْأَرَاضِي، وَآتِي بِهَا إِلَى أَرْضِهَا وَأَرْعَاهَا عَلَى جِبَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَفِي ٱلْأَوْدِيَةِ وَفِي جَمِيعِ مَسَاكِنِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

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 أَرْعَاهَا فِي مَرْعًى جَيِّدٍ، وَيَكُونُ مَرَاحُهَا عَلَى جِبَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلْعَالِيَةِ. هُنَالِكَ تَرْبُضُ فِي مَرَاحٍ حَسَنٍ، وَفِي مَرْعًى دَسِمٍ يَرْعَوْنَ عَلَى جِبَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

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

15 أَنَا أَرْعَى غَنَمِي وَأُرْبِضُهَا، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

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 ٱلضَّالَّ، وَأَسْتَرِدُّ ٱلْمَطْرُودَ، وَأَجْبِرُ ٱلْكَسِيرَ، وَأَعْصِبُ ٱلْجَرِيحَ، وَأُبِيدُ ٱلسَّمِينَ وَٱلْقَوِيَّ، 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 وَأَنْتُمْ يَا غَنَمِي، فَهَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَأَنَذَا أَحْكُمُ بَيْنَ شَاةٍ وَشَاةٍ، بَيْنَ 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 أَهُوَ صَغِيرٌ عِنْدَكُمْ أَنْ تَرْعَوْا ٱلْمَرْعَى ٱلْجَيِّدَ، وَبَقِيَّةُ مَرَاعِيكُمْ تَدُوسُونَهَا بِأَرْجُلِكُمْ، وَأَنْ تَشْرَبُوا مِنَ ٱلْمِيَاهِ ٱلْعَمِيقَةِ، وَٱلْبَقِيَّةُ تُكَدِّرُونَهَا بِأَقْدَامِكُمْ؟

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

19 وَغَنَمِي تَرْعَى مِنْ دَوْسِ أَقْدَامِكُمْ، وَتَشْرَبُ مِنْ كَدَرِ أَرْجُلِكُمْ!

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 هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ لَهُمْ: هَأَنَذَا أَحْكُمُ بَيْنَ ٱلشَّاةِ ٱلسَّمِينَةِ وَٱلشَّاةِ ٱلْمَهْزُولَةِ.

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

21 لِأَنَّكُمْ بَهَزْتُمْ بِٱلْجَنْبِ وَٱلْكَتِفِ، وَنَطَحْتُمُ ٱلْمَرِيضَةَ بِقُرُونِكُمْ حَتَّى شَتَّتْمُوهَا إِلَى خَارِجٍ.

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

22 فَأُخَلِّصُ غَنَمِي فَلَا تَكُونُ مِنْ بَعْدُ غَنِيمَةً، وَأَحْكُمُ 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 وَأُقِيمُ عَلَيْهَا رَاعِيًا وَاحِدًا فَيَرْعَاهَا عَبْدِي دَاوُدُ، هُوَ يَرْعَاهَا وَهُوَ يَكُونُ لَهَا رَاعِيًا.

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 ٱلرَّبُّ أَكُونُ لَهُمْ إِلَهًا، وَعَبْدِي دَاوُدُ رَئِيسًا فِي وَسْطِهِمْ. أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ 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 وَأَقْطَعُ مَعَهُمْ عَهْدَ سَلَامٍ، وَأَنْزِعُ ٱلْوُحُوشَ ٱلرَّدِيئَةَ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَيَسْكُنُونَ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ مُطْمَئِنِّينَ وَيَنَامُونَ فِي ٱلْوُعُورِ.

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 وَمَا حَوْلَ أَكَمَتِي بَرَكَةً، وَأُنْزِلُ عَلَيْهِمِ ٱلْمَطَرَ فِي وَقْتِهِ 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 وَتُعْطِي شَجَرَةُ ٱلْحَقْلِ ثَمَرَتَهَا، وَتُعْطِي ٱلْأَرْضُ غَلَّتَهَا، وَيَكُونُونَ آمِنِينَ فِي أَرْضِهِمْ، وَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ عِنْدَ تَكْسِيرِي رُبُطَ نِيرِهِمْ، وَإِذَا أَنْقَذْتُهُمْ مِنْ يَدِ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱسْتَعْبَدُوهُمْ.

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 فَلَا يَكُونُونَ بَعْدُ غَنِيمَةً لِلْأُمَمِ، وَلَا يَأْكُلُهُمْ وَحْشُ ٱلْأَرْضِ، بَلْ يَسْكُنُونَ آمِنِينَ وَلَا مُخِيفٌ.

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 غَرْسًا لِصِيتٍ فَلَا يَكُونُونَ بَعْدُ مَفْنِيِّي ٱلْجُوعِ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَلَا يَحْمِلُونَ بَعْدُ تَعْيِيرَ ٱلْأُمَمِ.

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 فَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُهُمْ مَعَهُمْ، وَهُمْ شَعْبِي بَيْتُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

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

31 وَأَنْتُمْ يَا غَنَمِي، غَنَمُ مَرْعَايَ، أُنَاسٌ أَنْتُمْ. أَنَا إِلَهُكُمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ».
