Ang mga Bantay ng Israel
34 Sinabi sa akin ng Panginoon, 2 “Anak ng tao, magsalita ka laban sa mga bantay ng Israel.[a] Sabihin mo sa kanila na ako, ang Panginoong Dios, ay nagsasabi: Nakakaawa ang mga bantay ng Israel. Ang sarili lang ninyo ang inyong inaalagaan! Hindi ba ang mga bantay ang dapat nag-aalaga sa mga tupa? 3 Iniinom ninyo ang gatas nila, ginagawang damit ang mga balahibo nila at kinakatay ninyo ang mga malulusog sa kanila, pero hindi ninyo sila inaalagaan. 4 Hindi ninyo pinalalakas ang mahihina, hindi ninyo ginagamot ang mga may sakit o hinihilot at binebendahan ang mga pilay. Hindi ninyo hinahanap ang naliligaw at nawawala. Sa halip, pinagmalupitan nʼyo pa sila. 5 At dahil walang nagbabantay sa kanila, nangalat sila at nilapa ng mababangis na hayop. 6 Naligaw ang mga tupa ko sa mga bundok at burol. Nangalat sila sa buong mundo at walang naghanap sa kanila.
7 “Kaya kayong mga bantay, pakinggan ninyo ang sasabihin kong ito: 8 Ako, ang Panginoong Dios na buhay, ay sumusumpa na parurusahan ko kayo dahil hindi ninyo binantayan ang aking mga tupa, kaya sinalakay sila at nilapa ng mababangis na hayop. Hindi ninyo sila hinanap, sa halip sarili lang ninyo ang inyong inalagaan. 9 Kaya kayong mga bantay, pakinggan ninyo ang mga sinasabi ko. 10 Ako, ang Panginoong Dios, ay nagsasabi na kalaban ko kayo, at may pananagutan kayo sa nangyari sa aking mga tupa. Hindi ko na ipagkakatiwala sa inyo ang aking mga tupa dahil ang sarili lang ninyo ang inyong inaalagaan. Ililigtas ko ang mga tupa mula sa inyo upang hindi na ninyo sila makain.
11 “Ako, ang Panginoong Dios ay nagsasabing ako mismo ang maghahanap sa aking mga tupa at mag-aalaga sa kanila. 12 Akoʼy magiging tulad ng pastol na naghahanap sa mga tupa niyang nangalat. Ililigtas ko sila saang lugar man sila nangalat noong panahon ng kaguluhang iyon.[b] 13 Titipunin ko sila mula sa ibaʼt ibang bansa at dadalhin sa sarili nilang lupain. Doon ko sila aalagaan sa mga kabundukan ng Israel, sa tabi ng ilog at mga lupang tinitirhan ng tao. 14 Dadalhin ko sila sa sariwang pastulan sa kabundukan ng Israel. Dooʼy manginginain sila habang namamahinga. 15 Ako, ang Panginoong Dios, ang mismong mag-aalaga sa aking mga tupa, at silaʼy aking pagpapahingahin. 16 Hahanapin ko ang mga nawawala at ang mga naliligaw. Gagamutin ko ang mga may sugat at may sakit, palalakasin ko ang mahihina. Pero lilipulin ko ang matataba at malalakas na tupa. Gagawin ko sa kanila kung ano ang nararapat.
17 “Mga mamamayan ng Israel na aking mga tupa, ako, ang Panginoong Dios, ay nagsasabi sa inyo na hahatulan ko kayo. Ibubukod ko ang mabubuti sa masasama, ang mga tupa sa mga kambing. 18 Hindi pa ba kayo nasisiyahan sa magandang pastulan; tinatapak-tapakan pa ninyo ang ibang pastulan? At hindi rin ba kayo nasisiyahan na nakakainom kayo ng malinaw na tubig at pinalabo pa ninyo ang ibang tubig? 19 Manginginain na lang ba ang iba kong mga tupa sa mga pinagtapak-tapakan ninyo? At ang iinumin na lang ba nila ay ang tubig na pinalabo ninyo?
20 “Kaya ako, ang Panginoong Dios ay nagsasabing, ibubukod ko ang matatabang tupa sa mga payat. 21 Sapagkat ginigitgit ninyo at sinusuwag ang mahihina hanggang sa silaʼy lumayo. 22 Ililigtas ko ang aking mga tupa at hindi ko na papayagang apihin silang muli. Ibubukod ko ang mabubuti sa masasama. 23 Bibigyan ko sila ng isang tagapagbantay na mula sa lahi ng lingkod kong si David. Siya ang magbabantay at mag-aalaga sa kanila. 24 Ako, ang Panginoon, ang magiging Dios nila, at ang lahi ng lingkod kong si David ang kanilang magiging tagapamahala. Ako, ang Panginoon, ang nagsasabi nito.
25 “Gagawa ako ng kasunduan sa kanila na magiging mabuti ang kanilang kalagayan. Palalayasin ko ang mababangis na hayop sa lupain nila para makapanirahan sila sa ilang at makatulog sa kagubatan nang ligtas sa panganib. 26 Pagpapalain ko sila at ang mga lugar sa paligid ng aking banal na bundok. Padadalhan ko sila ng ulan sa tamang oras bilang pagpapala sa kanila. 27 Mamumunga ang mga punongkahoy at mga pananim nila, at mamumuhay silang ligtas sa anumang panganib. Malalaman nilang ako ang Panginoon kapag pinalaya ko na sila sa mga umalipin sa kanila. 28 Hindi na sila aabusuhin ng ibang mga bansa at hindi na sila lalapain ng mga mababangis na hayop. Mamumuhay silang ligtas sa panganib at wala nang katatakutan. 29 Bibigyan ko sila ng matabang lupain na magbibigay ng masaganang ani para hindi sila magutom o kutyain ng ibang bansa. 30 At malalaman nila na ako, ang kanilang Panginoong Dios na kasama nila, at silang mga mamamayan ng Israel, ang aking mga mamamayan. Ako, ang Panginoong Dios, ang nagsasabi nito.
31 “Kayo ang mga tupa sa aking pastulan, kayo ang aking mga mamamayan, at ako ang inyong Dios. Ako, ang Panginoong Dios, ang nagsasabi nito.”

The good shepherd
34 The Lord’s word came to me: 2 Human one, prophesy against Israel’s shepherds. Prophesy and say to them, The Lord God proclaims to the shepherds: Doom to Israel’s shepherds who tended themselves! Shouldn’t shepherds tend the flock? 3 You drink the milk, you wear the wool, and you slaughter the fat animals, but you don’t tend the flock. 4 You don’t strengthen the weak, heal the sick, bind up the injured, bring back the strays, or seek out the lost; but instead you use force to rule them with injustice. 5 Without a shepherd, my flock was scattered; and when it was scattered, it became food for all the wild animals. 6 My flock strayed on all the mountains and on every high hill throughout all the earth. My flock was scattered, and there was no one to look for them or find them. 7 So now shepherds, hear the Lord’s word! 8 This is what the Lord God says: As surely as I live, without a shepherd, my flock became prey. My flock became food for all the wild animals. My shepherds didn’t seek out my flock. They tended themselves, but they didn’t tend my flock.
9 So, shepherds, hear the Lord’s word! 10 The Lord God proclaims: I’m against the shepherds! I will hold them accountable for my flock, and I will put an end to their tending the flock. The shepherds will no longer tend them, because I will rescue my flock from their mouths, and they will no longer be their food.
11 The Lord God proclaims: I myself will search for my flock and seek them out. 12 As a shepherd seeks out the flock when some in the flock have been scattered, so will I seek out my flock. I will rescue them from all the places where they were scattered during the time of clouds and thick darkness. 13 I will gather and lead them out from the countries and peoples, and I will bring them to their own fertile land. I will feed them on Israel’s highlands, along the riverbeds, and in all the inhabited places. 14 I will feed them in good pasture, and their sheepfold will be there, on Israel’s lofty highlands. On Israel’s highlands, they will lie down in a secure fold and feed on green pastures. 15 I myself will feed my flock and make them lie down. This is what the Lord God says. 16 I will seek out the lost, bring back the strays, bind up the wounded, and strengthen the weak. But the fat and the strong I will destroy, because I will tend my sheep[a] with justice.
17 As for you, my flock, the Lord God proclaims: I will judge between the rams and the bucks among the sheep and the goats. 18 Is feeding in good pasture or drinking clear water such a trivial thing that you should trample and muddy what is left with your feet? 19 But now my flock must feed on what your feet have trampled and drink water that your feet have muddied.
20 So the Lord God proclaims to them: I will judge between the fat and the lean sheep. 21 You shove with shoulder and flank, and with your horns you ram all the weak sheep until you’ve scattered them outside. 22 But I will rescue my flock so that they will never again be prey. I will even judge between the sheep! 23 I will appoint for them a single shepherd, and he will feed them. My servant David will feed them. He will be their shepherd. 24 I, the Lord, will be their God, and my servant David will be their prince. I, the Lord, have spoken. 25 I will make a covenant of peace for them, and I will banish the wild animals from the land. Then they will safely live in the desert and sleep in the forest. 26 I will give them and those around my hill a blessing by sending the rain in its season. They will be rains of blessing. 27 The trees in the field will bear fruit, and the earth will yield its harvest. They will be safe on their fertile land, and they will know that I am the Lord when I break the bars of their yoke and deliver them from those who enslaved them. 28 The nations will no longer prey on them, and wild animals will no longer devour them. They will live in safety, with no one to trouble them. 29 I will establish for them a place famous for what it grows. No longer will they experience famine in the land, nor will they bear the disgrace of the nations. 30 They will know that I, the Lord their God, am with them, and they, the house of Israel, are my people. This is what the Lord God says. 31 You are my flock, the flock of my pasture. You are human, and I am your God. This is what the Lord God says.

The Lord Will Be Israel’s Shepherd
34 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 “Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel; prophesy and say to them: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Woe to you shepherds of Israel who only take care of yourselves! Should not shepherds take care of the flock?(A) 3 You eat the curds, clothe yourselves with the wool and slaughter the choice animals, but you do not take care of the flock.(B) 4 You have not strengthened the weak or healed(C) the sick or bound up(D) the injured. You have not brought back the strays or searched for the lost. You have ruled them harshly and brutally.(E) 5 So they were scattered because there was no shepherd,(F) and when they were scattered they became food for all the wild animals.(G) 6 My sheep wandered over all the mountains and on every high hill.(H) They were scattered(I) over the whole earth, and no one searched or looked for them.(J)
7 “‘Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the Lord: 8 As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, because my flock lacks a shepherd and so has been plundered(K) and has become food for all the wild animals,(L) and because my shepherds did not search for my flock but cared for themselves rather than for my flock,(M) 9 therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the Lord: 10 This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am against(N) the shepherds and will hold them accountable for my flock. I will remove them from tending the flock so that the shepherds can no longer feed themselves. I will rescue(O) my flock from their mouths, and it will no longer be food for them.(P)
11 “‘For this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I myself will search for my sheep(Q) and look after them. 12 As a shepherd(R) looks after his scattered flock when he is with them, so will I look after my sheep. I will rescue them from all the places where they were scattered on a day of clouds and darkness.(S) 13 I will bring them out from the nations and gather(T) them from the countries, and I will bring them into their own land.(U) I will pasture them on the mountains of Israel, in the ravines and in all the settlements in the land.(V) 14 I will tend them in a good pasture, and the mountain heights of Israel(W) will be their grazing land. There they will lie down in good grazing land, and there they will feed in a rich pasture(X) on the mountains of Israel.(Y) 15 I myself will tend my sheep and have them lie down,(Z) declares the Sovereign Lord.(AA) 16 I will search for the lost and bring back the strays. I will bind up(AB) the injured and strengthen the weak,(AC) but the sleek and the strong I will destroy.(AD) I will shepherd the flock with justice.(AE)
17 “‘As for you, my flock, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will judge between one sheep and another, and between rams and goats.(AF) 18 Is it not enough(AG) for you to feed on the good pasture? Must you also trample the rest of your pasture with your feet?(AH) Is it not enough for you to drink clear water? Must you also muddy the rest with your feet? 19 Must my flock feed on what you have trampled and drink what you have muddied with your feet?
20 “‘Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says to them: See, I myself will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep.(AI) 21 Because you shove with flank and shoulder, butting all the weak sheep with your horns(AJ) until you have driven them away, 22 I will save my flock, and they will no longer be plundered. I will judge between one sheep and another.(AK) 23 I will place over them one shepherd, my servant David, and he will tend(AL) them; he will tend them and be their shepherd.(AM) 24 I the Lord will be their God,(AN) and my servant David(AO) will be prince among them.(AP) I the Lord have spoken.(AQ)
25 “‘I will make a covenant(AR) of peace(AS) with them and rid the land of savage beasts(AT) so that they may live in the wilderness and sleep in the forests in safety.(AU) 26 I will make them and the places surrounding my hill a blessing.[a](AV) I will send down showers in season;(AW) there will be showers of blessing.(AX) 27 The trees will yield their fruit(AY) and the ground will yield its crops;(AZ) the people will be secure(BA) in their land. They will know that I am the Lord, when I break the bars of their yoke(BB) and rescue them from the hands of those who enslaved them.(BC) 28 They will no longer be plundered by the nations, nor will wild animals devour them. They will live in safety,(BD) and no one will make them afraid.(BE) 29 I will provide for them a land renowned(BF) for its crops, and they will no longer be victims of famine(BG) in the land or bear the scorn(BH) of the nations.(BI) 30 Then they will know that I, the Lord their God, am with them and that they, the Israelites, are my people, declares the Sovereign Lord.(BJ) 31 You are my sheep,(BK) the sheep of my pasture,(BL) and I am your God, declares the Sovereign Lord.’”
