神親自尋找祂的羊

¹¹「主耶和華如此說：看哪，我必親自尋找我的羊，將牠們尋見。For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I Myself will search for My flock and seek them out.

¹²牧人在羊群四散的日子怎樣尋找他的羊，我必照樣尋找我的羊。這些羊在密雲黑暗的日子散到各處，我必從那裡救回牠們來。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.

¹³我必從萬民中領出牠們，從各國內聚集牠們，引導牠們歸回故土，也必在以色列山上─一切溪水旁邊、境內一切可居之處─牧養牠們。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.

¹⁴我必在美好的草場牧養牠們。牠們的圈必在以色列高處的山上，牠們必在佳美之圈中躺臥，也在以色列山肥美的草場吃草。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.

¹⁵主耶和華說：我必親自作我羊的牧人，使牠們得以躺臥。I will tend My flock and make them lie down, declares the Lord GOD.

¹⁶失喪的，我必尋找；被逐的，我必領回；受傷的，我必纏裹；有病的，我必醫治；只是肥的壯的，我必除滅，也要秉公牧養牠們。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.’

在羊與羊中間施行判斷

¹⁷「我的羊群哪，論到你們，主耶和華如此說：我必在羊與羊中間、公綿羊與公山羊中間施行判斷。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.

¹⁸你們這些肥壯的羊，在美好的草場吃草還以為小事嗎？剩下的草，你們竟用蹄踐踏了；你們喝清水，剩下的水，你們竟用蹄攪渾了。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?

¹⁹至於我的羊，只得吃你們所踐踏的，喝你們所攪渾的。Why must My flock feed on what your feet have trampled, and drink what your feet have muddied?’

²⁰「所以，主耶和華如此說：我必在肥羊和瘦羊中間施行判斷。Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says to them: ‘Behold, I Myself will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep.

²¹因為你們用脅用肩擁擠一切瘦弱的，又用角牴觸，以致使牠們四散。Since you shove with flank and shoulder, butting all the weak ones with your horns until you have scattered them abroad,

²²所以，我必拯救我的群羊不再作掠物；我也必在羊和羊中間施行判斷。I will save My flock, and they will no longer be prey. I will judge between one sheep and another.

我的僕人大衛作牧人

²³我必立一牧人照管他們，牧養他們，就是我的僕人大衛。他必牧養他們，作他們的牧人。I will appoint over them one shepherd, My servant David, and he will feed them. He will feed them and be their shepherd.

²⁴我─耶和華必作他們的　神，我的僕人大衛必在他們中間作王。這是耶和華說的。I, the LORD, will be their God, and My servant David will be a prince among them. I, the LORD, have spoken.

平安的約

²⁵「我必與他們立平安的約，使惡獸從境內斷絕，他們就必安居在曠野，躺臥在林中。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.

²⁶我必使他們與我山的四圍成為福源，我也必叫時雨落下，必有福如甘霖而降。I will make them and the places around My hill a blessing. I will send down showers in season—showers of blessing.

²⁷田野的樹必結果，地也必有出產；他們必在故土安然居住。我折斷他們所負的軛，救他們脫離那以他們為奴之人的手；那時，他們就知道我是耶和華。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.

²⁸他們必不再作外邦人的掠物，地上的野獸也不再吞吃他們；卻要安然居住，無人驚嚇。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.

²⁹我必給他們興起有名的植物；他們在境內不再為饑荒所滅，也不再受外邦人的羞辱，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.

³⁰必知道我、耶和華─他們的　神是與他們同在的，並知道他們─以色列家是我的民。這是主耶和華說的。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.

³¹你們作我的羊，我草場上的羊，乃是以色列人，我也是你們的　神。這是主耶和華說的。」‘You are My flock, the sheep of My pasture, My people, and I am your God,’ declares the Lord GOD.”

攻擊西珥山

¹耶和華的話又臨到我說：Moreover, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

²「人子啊，你要面向西珥山發預言，攻擊它，“Son of man, set your face against Mount Seir and prophesy against it,

³對它說，主耶和華如此說：西珥山哪，我與你為敵，必向你伸手攻擊你，使你荒涼，令人驚駭。and declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, I am against you, O Mount Seir. I will stretch out My hand against you and make you a desolate waste.

⁴我必使你的城邑變為荒場，成為淒涼。你就知道我是耶和華。I will turn your cities into ruins, and you will become a desolation. Then you will know that I am the LORD.

⁵因為你永懷仇恨，在以色列人遭災、罪孽到了盡頭的時候，將他們交與刀劍，Because you harbored an ancient hatred and delivered the Israelites over to the sword in the time of their disaster at the final stage of their punishment,

⁶所以主耶和華說：我指著我的永生起誓，我必使你遭遇流血的報應，罪（原文是血；本節同）必追趕你；你既不恨惡殺人流血，所以這罪必追趕你。therefore as surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, I will give you over to bloodshed and it will pursue you. Since you did not hate bloodshed, it will pursue you.

⁷我必使西珥山荒涼，令人驚駭，來往經過的人我必剪除。I will make Mount Seir a desolate waste and will cut off from it those who come and go.

⁸我必使西珥山滿有被殺的人。被刀殺的，必倒在你小山和山谷，並一切的溪水中。I will fill its mountains with the slain; those killed by the sword will fall on your hills, in your valleys, and in all your ravines.

⁹我必使你永遠荒涼，使你的城邑無人居住，你的民就知道我是耶和華。I will make you a perpetual desolation, and your cities will not be inhabited. Then you will know that I am the LORD.

以東想佔據這地

¹⁰因為你曾說：『這二國這二邦必歸於我，我必得為業』（其實耶和華仍在那裡），Because you have said, ‘These two nations and countries will be ours, and we will possess them,’ even though the LORD was there,

¹¹所以主耶和華說：我指著我的永生起誓，我必照你的怒氣和你從仇恨中向他們所發的嫉妒待你。我審判你的時候，必將自己顯明在他們中間。therefore as surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, I will treat you according to the anger and jealousy you showed in your hatred against them, and I will make Myself known among them when I judge you.

¹²你也必知道我─耶和華聽見了你的一切毀謗，就是你攻擊以色列山的話，說：『這些山荒涼，是歸我們吞滅的。』Then you will know that I, the LORD, have heard every contemptuous word you uttered against the mountains of Israel when you said, ‘They are desolate; they are given to us to devour!’

¹³你們也用口向我誇大，增添與我反對的話，我都聽見了。You boasted against Me with your mouth and multiplied your words against Me. I heard it Myself!

¹⁴主耶和華如此說：全地歡樂的時候，我必使你荒涼。This is what the Lord GOD says: While the whole earth rejoices, I will make you desolate.

¹⁵你怎樣因以色列家的地業荒涼而喜樂，我必照你所行的待你。西珥山哪，你和以東全地必都荒涼。你們就知道我是耶和華。」As you rejoiced when the inheritance of the house of Israel became desolate, so will I do to you. You will become a desolation, O Mount Seir, and so will all of Edom. Then they will know that I am the LORD.

作妻子的

¹你們作妻子的要順服自己的丈夫；這樣，若有不信從道理的丈夫，他們雖然不聽道，也可以因妻子的品行被感化過來；Wives, in the same way, submit yourselves to your husbands, so that even if they refuse to believe the word, they will be won over without words by the behavior of their wives

²這正是因看見你們有貞潔的品行和敬畏的心。when they see your pure and reverent demeanor.

³你們不要以外面的辮頭髮，戴金飾，穿美衣為妝飾，Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair or gold jewelry or fine clothes,

⁴只要以裡面存著長久溫柔、安靜的心為妝飾；這在　神面前是極寶貴的。but from the inner disposition of your heart, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in God’s sight.

⁵因為古時仰賴　神的聖潔婦人正是以此為妝飾，順服自己的丈夫，For this is how the holy women of the past adorned themselves. They put their hope in God and were submissive to their husbands,

⁶就如撒拉聽從亞伯拉罕，稱他為主。你們若行善，不因恐嚇而害怕，便是撒拉的女兒了。just as Sarah obeyed Abraham and called him lord. And you are her children if you do what is right and refuse to give way to fear.

作丈夫的

⁷你們作丈夫的也要按情理（原文是知識）和妻子同住；因她比你軟弱（比你軟弱：原文作是軟弱的器皿），與你一同承受生命之恩的，所以要敬重她。這樣，便叫你們的禱告沒有阻礙。Husbands, in the same way, treat your wives with consideration as a delicate vessel, and with honor as fellow heirs of the gracious gift of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered.

同心相愛

⁸總而言之，你們都要同心，彼此體恤，相愛如弟兄，存慈憐謙卑的心。Finally, all of you, be like-minded and sympathetic, love as brothers, be tenderhearted and humble.

不以惡報惡

⁹不以惡報惡，以辱罵還辱罵，倒要祝福；因你們是為此蒙召，好叫你們承受福氣。Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.

愛生命的人

¹⁰因為經上說：人若愛生命，願享美福，須要禁止舌頭不出惡言，嘴唇不說詭詐的話；For, “Whoever would love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from deceitful speech.

¹¹也要離惡行善，尋求和睦，一心追趕。He must turn from evil and do good; he must seek peace and pursue it.

¹²因為，主的眼看顧義人；主的耳聽他們的祈禱。惟有行惡的人，主向他們變臉。For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are inclined to their prayer. But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”
