Ezekiel 34

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς μὲ, λέγων,

Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say to the shepherds, Thus saith the Lord God; O shepherds of Israel, do shepherds feed themselves? do not the shepherds feed the sheep?

υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, προφήτευσον ἐπὶ τοὺς ποιμένας τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ, προφήτευσον, καὶ εἰπὸν τοῖς ποιμέσι, Τάδε λέγει Κύριος Κύριος, ὦ ποιμένες Ἰσραὴλ, μὴ βόσκουσι ποιμένες ἑαυτούς; οὐ τὰ πρόβατα βόσκουσιν οἱ ποιμένες;

Behold, ye feed on the milk, and clothe yourselves with the wool, and slay the fat: but ye feed not my sheep.

Ἰδοὺ τὸ γάλα κατέσθετε, καὶ τὰ ἔρια περιβάλλεσθε, καὶ τὸ παχὺ σφάζετε, καὶ τὰ πρόβατά μου οὐ βόσκετε.

The weak one ye have not strengthened, and the sick ye have not cherished, and the bruised ye have not bound up, and the stray one ye have not turned back, and the lost ye have not sought; and the strong ye have wearied with labour.

Τὸ ἠσθενηκὸς οὐκ ἐνισχύσατε, καὶ τὸ κακῶς ἔχον οὐκ ἐσωματοποιήσατε, καὶ τὸ συντετριμμένον οὐ κατεδήσατε, καὶ τὸ πλανώμενον οὐκ ἀπεστρέψατε, καὶ τὸ ἀπολωλὸς οὐκ ἐζητήσατε, καὶ τὸ ἰσχυρὸν κατειργάσασθε μόχθῳ.

And my sheep were scattered, because there were no shepherds: and they became meat to all the wild beasts of the field.

Καὶ διεσπάρη τὰ πρόβατά μου, διὰ τὸ μὴ εἶναι ποιμένας, καὶ ἐγενήθη εἰς κατάβρωμα πᾶσι τοῖς θηρίοις τοῦ ἀγροῦ.

And my sheep were scattered on every mountain, and on every high hill: yea, they were scattered on the face of the earth, and there was none to seek them out, nor to bring them back.

Καὶ διεσπάρη τὰ πρόβατά μου ἐν παντὶ ὄρει, καὶ ἐπὶ πᾶν βουνὸν ὑψηλὸν, καὶ ἐπὶ προσώπου τῆς γῆς διεσπάρη, καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὁ ἐκζητῶν οὐδὲ ὁ ἀποστρέφων.

Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the Lord.

Διατοῦτο ποιμένες ἀκούσατε λόγον Κυρίου.

As I live, saith the Lord God, surely because my sheep became a prey, and my sheep became meat to all the wild beasts of the field, because there were no shepherds, and the shepherds sought not out my sheep, and the shepherds fed themselves, but fed not my sheep.

Ζῶ ἐγὼ, λέγει Κύριος Κύριος, εἰ μὴν ἀντὶ τοῦ γενέσθαι τὰ πρόβατά μου εἰς προνομὴν, καὶ γενέσθαι τὰ πρόβατά μου εἰς κατάβρωμα πᾶσι τοῖς θηρίοις τοῦ πεδίου, παρὰ τὸ μὴ εἶναι ποιμένας, καὶ οὐκ ἐξεζήτησαν οἱ ποιμένες τὰ πρόβατά μου, καὶ ἐβόσκησαν οἱ ποιμένες ἑαυτοὺς, τὰ δὲ πρόβατά μου οὐκ ἐβόσκησαν·

For this cause, O shepherds,

Ἀντὶ τούτου ποιμένες,

thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my sheep at their hands, and will turn them back that they shall not feed my sheep, and the shepherds shall no longer feed them; and I will deliver my sheep out of their mouth, and they shall no longer be meat for them.

τάδε λέγει Κύριος Κύριος, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπὶ τοὺς ποιμένας, καὶ ἐκζητήσω τὰ πρόβατά μου ἐκ τῶν χειρῶν αὐτῶν, καὶ ἀποστρέψω αὐτοὺς τοῦ μὴ ποιμαίνειν τὰ πρόβατά μου, καὶ οὐ βοσκήσουσιν ἔτι οἱ ποιμένες αὐτά· καὶ ἐξελοῦμαι τὰ πρόβατά μου ἐκ τοῦ στόματος αὐτῶν, καὶ οὐκ ἔσονται αὐτοῖς ἔτι εἰς κατάβρωμα.

For thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I will seek out my sheep, and will visit them.

Διότι τάδε λέγει Κύριος Κύριος, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐκζητήσω τὰ πρόβατά μου, καὶ ἐπισκέψομαι αὐτά.

As the shepherd seeks his flock, in the day when there is darkness and cloud, in the midst of the sheep that are separated: so will I seek out my sheep, and will bring them back from every place where they were scattered in the day of cloud and darkness.

Ὥσπερ ζητεῖ ὁ ποιμὴν τὸ ποίμνιον αὐτοῦ ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ὅτʼ ἄν ᾖ γνόφος καὶ νεφέλη ἐν μέσῳ προβάτων διακεχωρισμένων, οὕτως ἐκζητήσω τὰ πρόβατά μου, καὶ ἀπελάσω αὐτὰ ἀπὸ παντὸς τόπου οὗ διεσπάρησαν ἐκεῖ ἐν ἡμέρᾳ νεφέλης καὶ γνόφου.

And I will bring them out from the Gentiles, and will gather them from the countries, and will bring them into their own land, and will feed them upon the mountains of Israel, and in the valleys, and in every inhabited place of the land.

Καὶ ἐξάξω αὐτοὺς ἐκ τῶν ἐθνῶν, καὶ συνάξω αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ τῶν χωρῶν, καὶ εἰσάξω αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν γῆν αὐτῶν, καὶ βοσκήσω αὐτοὺς ἐπὶ τὰ ὄρη Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἐν ταῖς φάραγξι, καὶ ἐν πάσῃ κατοικίᾳ τῆς γῆς,

I will feed them in a good pasture, on a high mountain of Israel: and their folds shall be there, and they shall lie down, and there shall they rest in perfect prosperity, and they shall feed in a fat pasture on the mountains of Israel.

ἐν νομῇ ἀγαθῇ βοσκήσω αὐτοὺς, ἐν τῷ ὄρει τῷ ὑψηλῷ Ἰσραήλ· καὶ ἔσονται αἱ μάνδραι αὐτῶν ἐκεῖ, καὶ κοιμηθήσονται, καὶ ἐκεῖ ἀναπαύσονται ἐν τρυφῇ ἀγαθῇ, καὶ ἐν νομῇ πίονι βοσκηθήσονται ἐπὶ τῶν ὀρέων Ἰσραήλ.

I will feed my sheep, and I will cause them to rest; and they shall know that I am the Lord: thus saith the Lord God.

Ἐγὼ βοσκήσω τὰ πρόβατά μου, καὶ ἐγὼ ἀναπαύσω αὐτὰ, καὶ γνώσονται ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος· τάδε λέγει Κύριος Κύριος.

I will seek that which is lost, and I will recover the stray one, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen the fainting, and will guard the strong, and will feed them with judgment.

Τὸ ἀπολωλὸς ζητήσω, καὶ τὸ πλανώμενον ἀποστρέψω, καὶ τὸ συντετριμμένον καταδήσω, καὶ τὸ ἐκλεῖπον ἐνισχύσω, καὶ τὸ ἰσχυρὸν φυλάξω, καὶ βοσκήσω αὐτὰ μετὰ κρίματος.

And as for you, ye sheep, thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I will distinguish between sheep and sheep, between rams and he-goats.

Καὶ ὑμεῖς πρόβατα, τάδε λέγει Κύριος Κύριος, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ διακρινῶ ἀναμέσον προβάτου καὶ προβάτου, κριῶν καὶ τράγων.

And is it not enough for you that ye fed on the good pasture, that ye trampled with your feet the remnant of your pasture? and that ye drank the standing water, that ye disturbed the residue with your feet?

Καὶ οὐχ ἱκανὸν ὑμῖν, ὅτι τὴν καλὴν νομὴν ἐνέμεσθε, καὶ τὰ κατάλοιπα τῆς νομῆς ὑμῶν κατεπατεῖτε τοῖς ποσὶν ὑμῶν; καὶ τὸ καθεστηκὸς ὕδωρ ἐπίνετε, καὶ τὸ λοιπὸν τοῖς ποσὶν ὑμῶν ἐταράσσετε;

So my sheep fed on that which ye had trampled with your feet; and they drank the water that had been disturbed by your feet.

Καὶ τὰ πρόβατά μου τὰ πατήματα τῶν ποδῶν ὑμῶν ἐνέμοντο, καὶ τὸ τεταραγμένον ὕδωρ ὑπὸ τῶν ποδῶν ὑμῶν ἔπινον.

Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will separate between the strong sheep and the weak sheep.

Διατοῦτο τάδε λέγει Κύριος Κύριος, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ διακρινῶ ἀναμέσον προβάτου ἰσχυροῦ καὶ ἀναμέσον προβάτου ἀσθενοῦς·

Ye did thrust with your sides and shoulders, and pushed with your horns, and ye cruelly treated all the sick.

Ἐπὶ ταῖς πλευραῖς καὶ τοῖς ὤμοις ὑμῶν διωθεῖσθε, καὶ τοῖς κέρασιν ὑμῶν ἐκερατίζετε, καὶ πᾶν τὸ ἐκλεῖπον ἐξεθλίβετε.

Therefore I will save my sheep, and they shall not be any more for a prey; and will judge between ram and ram.

Καὶ σώσω τὰ πρόβατά μου, καὶ οὐ μὴ ὦσιν ἔτι εἰς προνομὴν, καὶ κρινῶ ἀναμέσον κριοῦ πρὸς κριόν.

And I will raise up one shepherd over them, and he shall tend them, even my servant David, and he shall be their shepherd;

Καὶ ἀναστήσω ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς ποιμένα ἕνα, καὶ ποιμανεῖ αὐτοὺς, τὸν δοῦλόν μου Δαυὶδ, καὶ ἔσται αὐτῶν ποιμὴν,

and I the Lord will be to them a God, and David a prince in the midst of them; I the Lord have spoken it.

καὶ ἐγὼ Κύριος ἔσομαι αὐτοῖς εἰς Θεὸν, καὶ Δαυὶδ ἄρχων ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν· ἐγὼ Κύριος ἐλάλησα.

And I will make with David a covenant of peace, and I will utterly destroy evil beasts from off the land; and they shall dwell in the wilderness, and sleep in the forests.

Καὶ διαθήσομαι τῷ Δαυὶδ διαθήκην εἰρήνης, καὶ ἀφανιῶ θηρία πονηρὰ ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς, καὶ κατοικήσουσιν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, καὶ ὑπνώσουσιν ἐν τοῖς δρυμοῖς.

And I will settle them round about my mountain; and I will give you the rain, the rain of blessing.

Καὶ δώσω αὐτοὺς περικύκλῳ τοῦ ὄρους μου· καὶ δώσω τὸν ὑετὸν ὑμῖν, ὑετὸν εὐλογίας.

And the trees that are in the field shall yield their fruit, and the earth shall yield her strength, and they shall dwell in the confidence of peace on their land, and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have broken their yoke; and I will deliver them out of the hand of those that enslaved them.

Καὶ τὰ ξύλα τὰ ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ δώσει τὸν καρπὸν αὐτῶν, καὶ ἡ γῆ δώσει τὴν ἰσχὺν αὐτῆς, καὶ κατοικήσουσιν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς αὐτῶν ἐν ἐλπίδι εἰρήνης, καὶ γνώσονται ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος, ἐν τῷ συντρίψαι με τὸν ζυγὸν αὐτῶν· καὶ ἐξελοῦμαι αὐτοὺς ἐκ χειρὸς τῶν καταδουλωσαμένων αὐτοὺς,

And they shall no more be a spoil to the nations, and the wild beasts of the land shall no more at all devour them; and they shall dwell safely, and there shall be none to make them afraid.

καὶ οὐκ ἔσονται ἔτι ἐν προνομῇ τοῖς ἔθνεσι, καὶ τὰ θηρία τῆς γῆς οὐκέτι μὴ φάγωσιν αὐτούς· καὶ κατοικήσουσιν ἐν ἐλπίδι, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὁ ἐκφοβῶν αὐτούς.

And I will raise up for them a plant of peace, and they shall no more perish with hunger upon the land, and they shall no more bear the reproach of the nations.

Καὶ ἀναστήσω αὐτοῖς φυτὸν εἰρήνης, καὶ οὐκέτι ἔσονται ἀπολλύμενοι λιμῷ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, καὶ ὀνειδισμὸν ἐθνῶν οὐ μὴ ἐνέγκωσιν ἔτι.

And they shall know that I am the Lord their God, and they my people. O house of Israel, saith the Lord God,

Καὶ γνώσονται ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς αὐτῶν, καὶ αὐτοὶ λαός μου. Οἶκος Ἰσραὴλ, λέγει Κύριος Κύριος,

ye are my sheep, even the sheep of my flock, and I am the Lord your God, saith the Lord God.

πρόβατά μου καὶ πρόβατα ποιμνίου μου ἐστὲ, καὶ ἐγὼ Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ὑμῶν, λέγει Κύριος Κύριος.
