YLT
Young's Literal Translation
Then
the
word of the
LORD
came
to
me, saying,
And
there
is
a
word of Jehovah
unto
me, saying,
“
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
?
`
Son of man, prophesy concerning
shepherds of Israel ,
prophesy ,
and thou
hast
said
unto
them :
To
the shepherds,
thus
said
the
Lord Jehovah
: Wo
`
to '
the shepherds of Israel, Who have
been
feeding
themselves! The
flock
do
not the shepherds feed?
You
eat
the fat, wear
the wool, and
butcher
the fattened
sheep
, but
you
do
not
feed
the flock.
The fat ye
do
eat
, and
the wool ye
put
on
, The fed
one
ye
slaughter
, the flock ye
feed
not
.
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
.
The
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
.
They were
scattered for
lack
of a shepherd, and when
they
were
scattered
they
became
food
for all
the wild
beasts
.
And
they are
scattered from
want
of a shepherd, And are
for food
to
every
beast
of
the field,
Yea,
they
are
scattered
.
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
. ’
Go
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
.
Therefore, you
shepherds, hear the
word of the
LORD
:
Therefore, shepherds, hear a
word of Jehovah
:
‘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
,
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.
therefore, you
shepherds, hear the
word of the
LORD!’
Therefore, O
shepherds, hear a
word of Jehovah:
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. ’
Thus
said
the Lord Jehovah
: Lo
, I `
am '
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
.
For this
is
what
the Lord GOD
says
: ‘Behold
, I Myself
will
search
for
My flock and seek
them
out.
For thus
said
the Lord Jehovah
: Lo
, I --
even
I,
have
required
My flock ,
And I
have
sought
it
out.
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.
As 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.
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.
And
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.
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.
With
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.
I will
tend
My flock and make
them lie down, declares
the Lord GOD
.
I feed
My flock ,
and cause
them to
lie down, An
affirmation
of
the Lord Jehovah
.
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
. ’
The 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
.
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.
And
you, My flock ,
thus
said
the
Lord
Jehovah
: Lo,
I am
judging
between sheep and sheep
, Between rams and he-
goats.
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 ?
Is 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,
Why
must
My flock feed
on
what
your feet have
trampled
, and drink
what
your feet have
muddied
? ’
And
My flock the
trodden
thing
of
your feet consumeth
, And the
trampled
thing
of
your feet drinketh
?
Therefore this
is
what
the Lord GOD
says
to them: ‘Behold
, I Myself
will
judge
between the
fat sheep and the
lean sheep.
Therefore ,
thus
said
the Lord Jehovah
to them: Lo
, I --
even
I,
have
judged
between fat sheep and lean sheep.
Since
you
shove
with flank
and shoulder, butting
all
the
weak
ones
with your horns until
you
have scattered them abroad
,
Because
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
,
I will
save
My flock, and they will
no
longer
be
prey .
I will
judge
between one
sheep and another
.
And
I have
given
safety
to
My flock, And they are
not
any
more
for
prey ,
And
I have
judged
between sheep and sheep
.
I
will
appoint
over them one shepherd, My servant David, and
he will
feed
them.
He
will
feed them and be
their shepherd .
And
have
raised
up
over them one shepherd, And
he
hath
fed
them
--
my servant David, He doth
feed them ,
and he
is
their shepherd ,
I, the
LORD
, will
be
their God, and My servant David will
be
a
prince among
them.
I, the
LORD
, have spoken.
And
I, Jehovah
, I
am
their God, And My servant David prince in
their
midst,
I, Jehovah
, have spoken.
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
.
And
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
.
I will
make
them and the places
around
My hill a blessing .
I
will
send
down showers
in season —
showers of blessing.
And
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
.
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.
And
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 `
am '
Jehovah
, In
My
breaking
the bands
of their yoke ,
And I
have
delivered them from the hand
of
those
laying
service
on
them.
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
.
And
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
.
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.
And 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.
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
.
And
they have
known
that I, Jehovah,
their God, `
am '
with them, And they --
the house of Israel --
My people, An
affirmation
of
the Lord Jehovah
.
‘You
are
My flock, the sheep
of My pasture, My
people,
and
I am your God, ’
declares
the Lord GOD.”
And
ye,
My flock, the flock
of My pasture, Men
ye
`are'
--
I `
am '
your God, An
affirmation
of
the Lord Jehovah!'
