YLT
Young's Literal Translation
And the
word of the
LORD
came
unto me, saying,
And there
is
a
word of Jehovah
unto me, saying,
Son of man, prophesy against
the
shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say
unto them, Thus saith
the Lord GOD
unto
the
shepherds;
Woe
be
to the shepherds of Israel that
do
feed
themselves! should
not the shepherds feed the
flocks
?
`
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?
Ye
eat
the fat, and ye
clothe
you
with
the wool ,
ye kill
them
that
are
fed :
but
ye feed
not
the flock.
The fat ye
do
eat
, and the wool ye put
on,
The
fed one
ye slaughter,
the flock ye
feed
not
.
The diseased
have
ye not strengthened, neither
have
ye healed that
which
was
sick
, neither
have
ye bound up that
which
was
broken
, neither
have
ye
brought
again
that
which
was
driven away ,
neither
have ye sought that
which
was
lost;
but
with
force
and with cruelty
have
ye ruled them.
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
.
And they were
scattered ,
because
there
is
no
shepherd :
and they
became
meat
to all
the
beasts
of the field, when
they were
scattered.
And they are
scattered from
want
of
a
shepherd ,
And are
for
food
to every
beast
of the field, Yea,
they are
scattered.
My sheep
wandered
through
all the mountains, and upon
every high hill :
yea
, my
flock
was
scattered
upon
all the face of the earth
, and none did
search
or
seek
after
them
.
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, ye
shepherds, hear the
word of the
LORD;
Therefore, shepherds, hear a
word of Jehovah:
As
I live ,
saith
the Lord GOD
, surely
because my flock became
a prey, and
my flock became
meat
to every beast of the field, because there was
no shepherd, neither
did
my shepherds search
for
my flock, but
the shepherds fed
themselves, and fed
not
my flock ;
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, O ye
shepherds, hear the
word of the
LORD;
Therefore, O shepherds, hear a
word of Jehovah:
Thus saith
the Lord GOD;
Behold
, I am against the shepherds ;
and I
will
require
my flock at
their hand, and cause
them to cease from feeding the flock ;
neither
shall
the shepherds feed themselves any
more;
for
I will
deliver
my flock from their mouth, that
they may
not be
meat
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 thus saith
the Lord GOD;
Behold
, I ,
even I, will
both
search
my sheep
, 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
seeketh
out
his flock
in the day that
he
is
among
his sheep
that
are
scattered ;
so will
I seek out
my sheep
, and will
deliver
them out of all places where
they have been scattered in the
cloudy
and
dark
day.
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
.
And I
will
bring
them out from the people
, and gather
them from the countries
, and will
bring
them to
their own land
, and feed
them upon
the
mountains of Israel by the
rivers
, and in
all the
inhabited
places
of the country
.
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
a
good
pasture
, and upon
the high mountains
of Israel shall
their fold
be:
there shall
they lie in a good fold
, and in
a
fat pasture
shall
they feed
upon
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
feed my flock, and I
will
cause them to lie down, saith
the Lord GOD
.
I feed My flock, and cause them to lie down, An
affirmation
of
the Lord Jehovah
.
I will
seek that
which
was
lost
, and bring
again
that
which
was
driven away, and will
bind up that
which
was
broken
, and will
strengthen
that
which
was
sick :
but
I will
destroy
the fat and the strong ;
I will
feed them
with judgment.
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.
And as
for
you, O
my flock, thus saith
the Lord GOD;
Behold
, I judge
between cattle
and cattle
, between the
rams and the
he goats.
And you, My flock, thus said
the Lord Jehovah:
Lo
, I am
judging
between sheep
and sheep
, Between rams and he -
goats.
Seemeth
it a small
thing unto
you to
have
eaten
up
the good pasture, but
ye must
tread down with your feet the
residue
of
your
pastures?
and to
have
drunk
of the
deep
waters ,
but
ye must
foul
the residue
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,
And as
for
my flock ,
they
eat
that
which
ye
have
trodden with
your feet ;
and they
drink
that
which
ye
have
fouled
with
your feet .
And My flock the
trodden thing
of
your feet consumeth,
And the
trampled
thing
of
your feet drinketh?
Therefore thus saith
the Lord GOD
unto
them ;
Behold
, I ,
even I, will
judge
between the
fat cattle
and between
the
lean cattle
.
Therefore ,
thus said
the Lord Jehovah
to
them :
Lo
, I --
even I, have
judged
between fat sheep
and lean sheep
.
Because ye
have
thrust
with side and with shoulder, and pushed
all
the
diseased
with your horns, till ye 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,
Therefore
will
I save
my flock, and they shall
no
more be
a
prey ;
and I will
judge
between cattle
and cattle
.
And
I have
given
safety
to
My flock, And they are
not
any
more for
prey ,
And I have
judged
between sheep
and sheep
.
And I
will
set
up one
shepherd
over them, and he shall
feed
them ,
even
my servant David ;
he shall
feed them, and he shall
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 ,
And I the
LORD
will
be
their God, and my servant David a
prince among
them;
I the
LORD
have spoken it
.
And I ,
Jehovah,
I
am
their God, And My servant David prince in
their
midst,
I ,
Jehovah,
have spoken.
And I will
make
with
them a covenant of peace, and will
cause
the
evil beasts to cease out of the land :
and they shall
dwell
safely
in the
wilderness, and sleep
in the
woods
.
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
.
And I will
make
them and the places
round
about
my hill a blessing ;
and I
will
cause
the shower to come down in his
season ;
there
shall
be
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
.
And the tree of the field shall
yield
her
fruit, and the earth
shall
yield
her increase, and they shall
be
safe
in
their land, and shall
know
that I am the
LORD
, when
I
have
broken
the bands of their yoke, and delivered them out
of
the hand of those that
served
themselves
of
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.
And they shall
no more be
a prey to the
heathen
, neither
shall
the beast of the land
devour
them ;
but
they shall
dwell
safely
, and none shall
make
them
afraid
.
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 plant of
renown, and they shall
be
no more consumed with
hunger in the land, neither
bear the shame of the heathen
any
more
.
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
.
Thus
shall
they know
that I the
LORD
their God am with them, and that
they ,
even
the house of Israel ,
are
my people, saith
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
.
And ye my flock, the flock of my pasture, are
men ,
and
I am your God, saith
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!'
