2
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?
Seun van die mens, profeteer teen die herders van Israel, profeteer, en sê tot hulle, So sê die Here GOD tot die herders; Wee die herders van Israel wat hulleself wei! moet die herders nie die kuddes wei nie?
3
Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill them that are fed: [but] ye feed not the flock.
Julle eet die vet, en julle beklee julle met die wol, julle slag die wat gevoed is: maar julle wei nie die kudde nie.
4
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.
Die siekes het julle nie versterk nie, en julle het die wat siek is, nie genees nie, en julle het die wat gebreek is, nie verbind nie, en julle het die wat verdryf is, nie teruggebring nie, en julle het die wat verlore is, nie gesoek nie; maar met geweld en met wreedheid het julle oor hulle geheers.
5
And they were scattered, because [there is] no shepherd: and they became meat to all the beasts of the field, when they were scattered.
En hulle is verstrooi, omdat daar geen herder was nie: en hulle is voedsel geword vir al die diere van die veld, toe hulle verstrooi is.
6
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].
My skape het op al die berge, en op elke hoë heuwel gedwaal: ja, my kudde is oor die hele aangesig van die aarde verstrooi, en niemand het na hulle gesoek of hulle gesoek nie.
7
Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD;
Daarom, julle herders, hoor die woord van die HERE;
8
[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;
So waar as ek lewe, sê die Here GOD, sekerlik omdat my kudde ’n roof geword het, en my kudde voedsel geword het vir elke dier van die veld, omdat daar geen herder was nie, en my herders nie na my kudde gesoek het nie, maar die herders het hulleself geweid, en het my kudde nie geweid nie;
9
Therefore, O ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD;
Daarom, o julle herders, hoor die woord van die HERE;
10
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.
So sê die Here GOD; Kyk, ek is teen die herders; en ek sal my kudde van hulle hand eis, en hulle laat ophou om die kudde te wei; en die herders sal hulleself nie meer wei nie; want ek sal my kudde uit hulle mond verlos, dat hulle nie meer vir hulle tot voedsel mag wees nie.
11
For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, [even] I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out.
Want so sê die Here GOD; Kyk, ek, selfs ek, sal na my skape soek, en hulle soek.
12
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.
Soos ‚'n herder sy kudde soek in die dag dat hy onder sy skape is wat verstrooi is; so sal ek my skape soek, en hulle verlos uit al die plekke waarheen hulle verstrooi is in die bewolkte en donker dag.
13
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.
En ek sal hulle uit die volk uitbring, en hulle uit die lande bymekaarmaak, en hulle na hulle eie land bring, en hulle op die berge van Israel voed by die riviere, en in al die bewoonde plekke van die land.
14
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.
Ek sal hulle in ’n goeie weiveld voed, en hulle kraal sal op die hoë berge van Israel wees: daar sal hulle in ’n goeie kraal lê, en in ’n vet weiveld sal hulle op die berge van Israel wei.
15
I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord GOD.
Ek sal my kudde voed, en ek sal hulle laat lê, sê die Here GOD.
16
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.
Ek sal die wat verlore is, soek, en die wat verdryf is, terugbring, en die wat gebreek is, verbind, en die wat siek is, versterk: maar ek sal die vet en die sterk vernietig; ek sal hulle met oordeel voed.
17
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.
En wat julle betref, o my kudde, so sê die Here GOD; Kyk, ek oordeel tussen vee en vee, tussen die ramme en die bokke.
18
[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 dit ‚'n klein ding vir julle om die goeie weiveld te eet, maar julle moet die oorblyfsel van julle weivelde met julle voete vertrap? en om die diep waters te drink, maar julle moet die oorblyfsel met julle voete vertroebel?
19
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.
En wat my kudde betref, hulle eet dit wat julle met julle voete vertrap het; en hulle drink dit wat julle met julle voete vertroebel het.
20
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD unto them; Behold, I, [even] I, will judge between the fat cattle and between the lean cattle.
Daarom so sê die Here GOD tot hulle; Kyk, ek, selfs ek, sal oordeel tussen die vet vee en tussen die maer vee.
21
Because ye have thrust with side and with shoulder, and pushed all the diseased with your horns, till ye have scattered them abroad;
Omdat julle al die siekes met die sy en met die skouer weggestoot het, en met julle horings gestamp het, totdat julle hulle na buite verstrooi het;
22
Therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between cattle and cattle.
Daarom sal ek my kudde red, en hulle sal nie meer ‚'n roof wees nie; en ek sal oordeel tussen vee en vee.
23
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.
En ek sal een herder oor hulle opwek, en hy sal hulle voed, selfs my dienaar Dawid; hy sal hulle voed, en hy sal hulle herder wees.
24
And I the LORD will be their God, and my servant David a prince among them; I the LORD have spoken [it].
En ek die HERE sal hulle God wees, en my dienaar Dawid ‚'n vors onder hulle; ek die HERE het dit gespreek.
25
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.
En ek sal ‚'n verbond van vrede met hulle maak, en sal die boos diere uit die land laat ophou: en hulle sal veilig in die wildernis woon, en in die woude slaap.
26
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.
En ek sal hulle en die plekke rondom my heuwel ’n seën maak; en ek sal die stortreën in sy seisoen laat neerdaal; daar sal stortreëns van seën wees.
27
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.
En die boom van die veld sal sy vrug gee, en die aarde sal haar toename gee, en hulle sal veilig in hulle land wees, en sal weet dat ek die HERE is, wanneer ek die bande van hulle juk verbreek het, en hulle uit die hand van dié wat hulle diensbaar gemaak het, verlos het.
28
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.
En hulle sal nie meer ‚'n roof vir die heidene wees nie, en die dier van die land sal hulle nie meer verteer nie; maar hulle sal veilig woon, en niemand sal hulle bang maak nie.
29
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.
En ek sal vir hulle ‚'n plant van roem opwek, en hulle sal nie meer verteer word met honger in die land nie, en ook nie meer die skaamte van die heidene dra nie.
30
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.
So sal hulle weet dat ek die HERE hulle God met hulle is, en dat hulle, selfs die huis van Israel, my volk is, sê die Here GOD.
31
And ye my flock, the flock of my pasture, [are] men, [and] I [am] your God, saith the Lord GOD.
En julle my kudde, die kudde van my weiding, is mense, en ek is julle God, sê die Here GOD.
