Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
1Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς μὲ, λέγων,
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?
2υἱὲ 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;
3You eat the fat, wear the wool, and butcher the fattened sheep, but you do not feed the flock.
3Ἰδοὺ τὸ γάλα κατέσθετε, καὶ τὰ ἔρια περιβάλλεσθε, καὶ τὸ παχὺ σφάζετε, καὶ τὰ πρόβατά μου οὐ βόσκετε.
4You 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.
4Τὸ 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.
5They were scattered for lack of a shepherd, and when they were scattered they became food for all the wild beasts.
5Καὶ διεσπάρη τὰ πρόβατά μου, διὰ τὸ μὴ εἶναι ποιμένας, καὶ ἐγενήθη εἰς κατάβρωμα πᾶσι τοῖς θηρίοις τοῦ ἀγροῦ.
6My 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.’
6Καὶ 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.
7Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the LORD:
7Διατοῦτο ποιμένες ἀκούσατε λόγον Κυρίου.
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,
8Ζῶ 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·
9therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the LORD!’
9Ἀντὶ τούτου ποιμένες,
10This 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.’
10τάδε 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.
11For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I Myself will search for My flock and seek them out.
11Διότι τάδε λέγει Κύριος Κύριος, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐκζητήσω τὰ πρόβατά μου, καὶ ἐπισκέψομαι αὐτά.
12As 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.
12Ὥσπερ 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.
13I 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.
13Καὶ 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,
14I 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.
14ἐν 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.
15I will tend My flock and make them lie down, declares the Lord GOD.
15Ἐγὼ βοσκήσω τὰ πρόβατά μου, καὶ ἐγὼ ἀναπαύσω αὐτὰ, καὶ γνώσονται ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος· τάδε λέγει Κύριος Κύριος.
16I 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.’
16Τὸ ἀπολωλὸς ζητήσω, καὶ τὸ πλανώμενον ἀποστρέψω, καὶ τὸ συντετριμμένον καταδήσω, καὶ τὸ ἐκλεῖπον ἐνισχύσω, καὶ τὸ ἰσχυρὸν φυλάξω, καὶ βοσκήσω αὐτὰ μετὰ κρίματος.
17This is what the Lord GOD says to you, My flock: ‘I will judge between one sheep and another, between the rams and the goats.
17Καὶ ὑμεῖς πρόβατα, τάδε λέγει Κύριος Κύριος, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ διακρινῶ ἀναμέσον προβάτου καὶ προβάτου, κριῶν καὶ τράγων.
18Is 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?
18Καὶ 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;
19Why must My flock feed on what your feet have trampled, and drink what your feet have muddied?’
19Καὶ τὰ πρόβατά μου τὰ πατήματα τῶν ποδῶν ὑμῶν ἐνέμοντο, καὶ τὸ τεταραγμένον ὕδωρ ὑπὸ τῶν ποδῶν ὑμῶν ἔπινον.
20Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says to them: ‘Behold, I Myself will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep.
20Διατοῦτο τάδε λέγει Κύριος Κύριος, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ διακρινῶ ἀναμέσον προβάτου ἰσχυροῦ καὶ ἀναμέσον προβάτου ἀσθενοῦς·
21Since you shove with flank and shoulder, butting all the weak ones with your horns until you have scattered them abroad,
21Ἐπὶ ταῖς πλευραῖς καὶ τοῖς ὤμοις ὑμῶν διωθεῖσθε, καὶ τοῖς κέρασιν ὑμῶν ἐκερατίζετε, καὶ πᾶν τὸ ἐκλεῖπον ἐξεθλίβετε.
22I will save My flock, and they will no longer be prey. I will judge between one sheep and another.
22Καὶ σώσω τὰ πρόβατά μου, καὶ οὐ μὴ ὦσιν ἔτι εἰς προνομὴν, καὶ κρινῶ ἀναμέσον κριοῦ πρὸς κριόν.
23I will appoint over them one shepherd, My servant David, and he will feed them. He will feed them and be their shepherd.
23Καὶ ἀναστήσω ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς ποιμένα ἕνα, καὶ ποιμανεῖ αὐτοὺς, τὸν δοῦλόν μου Δαυὶδ, καὶ ἔσται αὐτῶν ποιμὴν,
24I, the LORD, will be their God, and My servant David will be a prince among them. I, the LORD, have spoken.
24καὶ ἐγὼ Κύριος ἔσομαι αὐτοῖς εἰς Θεὸν, καὶ Δαυὶδ ἄρχων ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν· ἐγὼ Κύριος ἐλάλησα.
25I 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.
25Καὶ διαθήσομαι τῷ Δαυὶδ διαθήκην εἰρήνης, καὶ ἀφανιῶ θηρία πονηρὰ ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς, καὶ κατοικήσουσιν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, καὶ ὑπνώσουσιν ἐν τοῖς δρυμοῖς.
26I will make them and the places around My hill a blessing. I will send down showers in season—showers of blessing.
26Καὶ δώσω αὐτοὺς περικύκλῳ τοῦ ὄρους μου· καὶ δώσω τὸν ὑετὸν ὑμῖν, ὑετὸν εὐλογίας.
27The 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.
27Καὶ 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,
28They 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.
28καὶ 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.
29And 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.
29Καὶ ἀναστήσω αὐτοῖς φυτὸν εἰρήνης, καὶ οὐκέτι ἔσονται ἀπολλύμενοι λιμῷ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, καὶ ὀνειδισμὸν ἐθνῶν οὐ μὴ ἐνέγκωσιν ἔτι.
30Then 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.
30Καὶ γνώσονται ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς αὐτῶν, καὶ αὐτοὶ λαός μου. Οἶκος Ἰσραὴλ, λέγει Κύριος Κύριος,
31‘You are My flock, the sheep of My pasture, My people, and I am your God,’ declares the Lord GOD.”
31πρόβατά μου καὶ πρόβατα ποιμνίου μου ἐστὲ, καὶ ἐγὼ Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ὑμῶν, λέγει Κύριος Κύριος.
