LXX	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 και εγενετο λογος κυριου προς με λεγων	1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 υιε ανθρωπου προφητευσον επι τους ποιμενας του ισραηλ προφητευσον και ειπον τοις ποιμεσι ταδε λεγει κυριος κυριος ω ποιμενες ισραηλ μη βοσκουσιν ποιμενες εαυτους ου τα προβατα βοσκουσιν οι ποιμενες	2 “Son of man, prophesy about the shepherds of Israel. Prophesy, and you shall say to the shepherds: Thus says the Lord God: Woe to the shepherds of Israel who feed themselves! Should not the flocks be fed by the shepherds?
3 ιδου το γαλα κατεσθετε και τα ερια περιβαλλεσθε και το παχυ σφαζετε και τα προβατα μου ου βοσκετε	3 You consumed the milk, and you covered yourselves with the wool, and you killed what was fattened. But my flock you did not feed.
4 το ησθενηκος ουκ ενισχυσατε και το κακως εχον ουκ εσωματοποιησατε και το συντετριμμενον ου κατεδησατε και το πλανωμενον ουκ επεστρεψατε και το απολωλος ουκ εζητησατε και το ισχυρον κατειργασασθε μοχθω	4 What was weak, you have not strengthened, and what was sick, you have not healed. What was broken, you have not bound, and what was cast aside, you have not led back again, and what was lost, you have not sought. Instead, you ruled over them with severity and with power.
5 και διεσπαρη τα προβατα μου δια το μη ειναι ποιμενας και εγενηθη εις καταβρωμα πασι τοις θηριοις του αγρου	5 And my sheep were scattered, because there was no shepherd. And they became devoured by all the wild beasts of the field, and they were dispersed.
6 και διεσπαρη μου τα προβατα εν παντι ορει και επι παν βουνον υψηλον και επι προσωπου πασης της γης διεσπαρη και ουκ ην ο εκζητων ουδε ο αποστρεφων	6 My sheep have wandered to every mountain and to every exalted hill. And my flocks have been scattered across the face of the earth. And there was no one who sought them; there was no one, I say, who sought them.
7 δια τουτο ποιμενες ακουσατε λογον κυριου	7 Because of this, O shepherds, listen to the word of the Lord:
8 ζω εγω λεγει κυριος κυριος ει μην αντι του γενεσθαι τα προβατα μου εις προνομην και γενεσθαι τα προβατα μου εις καταβρωμα πασι τοις θηριοις του πεδιου παρα το μη ειναι ποιμενας και ουκ εξεζητησαν οι ποιμενες τα προβατα μου και εβοσκησαν οι ποιμενες εαυτους τα δε προβατα μου ουκ εβοσκησαν	8 As I live, says the Lord God, since my flocks have become a prey, and my sheep have been devoured by all the wild beasts of the field, since there was no shepherd, for my shepherds did not seek my flock, but instead the shepherds fed themselves, and they did not feed my flocks:
9 αντι τουτου ποιμενες	9 because of this, O shepherds, listen to the word of the Lord:
10 ταδε λεγει κυριος κυριος ιδου εγω επι τους ποιμενας και εκζητησω τα προβατα μου εκ των χειρων αυτων και αποστρεψω αυτους του μη ποιμαινειν τα προβατα μου και ου βοσκησουσιν ετι οι ποιμενες αυτα και εξελουμαι τα προβατα μου εκ του στοματος αυτων και ουκ εσονται αυτοις ετι εις καταβρωμα	10 Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I myself will be over the shepherds. I will require my flock at their hand, and I will cause them to cease, so that they no longer refrain from feeding the flock. Neither will the shepherds feed themselves any more. And I will deliver my flock from their mouth; and it will no longer be food for them.
11 διοτι ταδε λεγει κυριος ιδου εγω εκζητησω τα προβατα μου και επισκεψομαι αυτα	11 For thus says the Lord God: Behold, I myself will seek my sheep, and I myself will visit them.
12 ωσπερ ζητει ο ποιμην το ποιμνιον αυτου εν ημερα οταν η γνοφος και νεφελη εν μεσω προβατων διακεχωρισμενων ουτως εκζητησω τα προβατα μου και απελασω αυτα απο παντος τοπου ου διεσπαρησαν εκει εν ημερα νεφελης και γνοφου	12 Just as a shepherd visits his flock, in the day when he will be in the midst of his sheep that were scattered, so will I visit my sheep. And I will deliver them from all the places to which they had been scattered in the day of gloom and darkness.
13 και εξαξω αυτους εκ των εθνων και συναξω αυτους απο των χωρων και εισαξω αυτους εις την γην αυτων και βοσκησω αυτους επι τα ορη ισραηλ και εν ταις φαραγξιν και εν παση κατοικια της γης	13 And I will lead them away from the peoples, and I will gather them from the lands, and I will bring them into their own land. And I will pasture them on the mountains of Israel, by the rivers, and in all the settlements of the land.
14 εν νομη αγαθη βοσκησω αυτους και εν τω ορει τω υψηλω ισραηλ εσονται αι μανδραι αυτων εκει κοιμηθησονται και εκει αναπαυσονται εν τρυφη αγαθη και εν νομη πιονι βοσκηθησονται επι των ορεων ισραηλ	14 I will feed them in very fertile pastures, and their pastures will be on the lofty mountains of Israel. There they will rest on the green grass, and they will be fed in the fat pastures, on the mountains of Israel.
15 εγω βοσκησω τα προβατα μου και εγω αναπαυσω αυτα και γνωσονται οτι εγω ειμι κυριος ταδε λεγει κυριος κυριος	15 I will feed my sheep, and I will cause them to lie down, says the Lord God.
16 το απολωλος ζητησω και το πλανωμενον επιστρεψω και το συντετριμμενον καταδησω και το εκλειπον ενισχυσω και το ισχυρον φυλαξω και βοσκησω αυτα μετα κριματος	16 I will seek what had been lost. And I will lead back again what had been cast aside. And I will bind up what had been broken. And I will strengthen what had been infirm. And I will preserve what was fat and strong. And I will feed them on judgment.
17 και υμεις προβατα ταδε λεγει κυριος κυριος ιδου εγω διακρινω ανα μεσον προβατου και προβατου κριων και τραγων	17 But as for you, O my flocks, thus says the Lord God: Behold, I judge between cattle and cattle, among rams and among he-goats.
18 και ουχ ικανον υμιν οτι την καλην νομην ενεμεσθε και τα καταλοιπα της νομης υμων κατεπατειτε τοις ποσιν υμων και το καθεστηκος υδωρ επινετε και το λοιπον τοις ποσιν υμων εταρασσετε	18 Was it not enough for you to feed upon good pastures? For you even trample with your feet upon the remainder of your pastures. And when you drank the purist water, you disturbed the remainder with your feet.
19 και τα προβατα μου τα πατηματα των ποδων υμων ενεμοντο και το τεταραγμενον υδωρ υπο των ποδων υμων επινον	19 And my sheep were pastured from what you had trampled with your feet, and they drank from what your feet had disturbed.
20 δια τουτο ταδε λεγει κυριος κυριος ιδου εγω διακρινω ανα μεσον προβατου ισχυρου και ανα μεσον προβατου ασθενους	20 Because of this, thus says the Lord God to you: Behold, I myself am judging between the fat cattle and the lean.
21 επι ταις πλευραις και τοις ωμοις υμων διωθεισθε και τοις κερασιν υμων εκερατιζετε και παν το εκλειπον εξεθλιβετε	21 For you have pushed with your sides and shoulders, and you have threatened all the weak cattle with your horns, until they were scattered abroad.
22 και σωσω τα προβατα μου και ου μη ωσιν ετι εις προνομην και κρινω ανα μεσον κριου προς κριον	22 I will save my flock, and it will be no longer be a prey, and I will judge between cattle and cattle.
23 και αναστησω επ' αυτους ποιμενα ενα και ποιμανει αυτους τον δουλον μου δαυιδ και εσται αυτων ποιμην	23 And I will raise up over them ONE SHEPHERD, who will feed them, my servant David. He himself will feed them, and he will be their shepherd.
24 και εγω κυριος εσομαι αυτοις εις θεον και δαυιδ εν μεσω αυτων αρχων εγω κυριος ελαλησα	24 And I, the Lord, will be their God. And my servant David will be the leader in their midst. I, the Lord, have spoken.
25 και διαθησομαι τω δαυιδ διαθηκην ειρηνης και αφανιω θηρια πονηρα απο της γης και κατοικησουσιν εν τη ερημω και υπνωσουσιν εν τοις δρυμοις	25 And I will make a covenant of peace with them. And I will cause the very harmful beasts to cease from the land. And those who are living in the desert will sleep securely in the forests.
26 και δωσω αυτους περικυκλω του ορους μου και δωσω τον υετον υμιν υετον ευλογιας	26 And I will make them a blessing all around my hill. And I will send the rain in due time; there will be showers of blessing.
27 και τα ξυλα τα εν τω πεδιω δωσει τον καρπον αυτων και η γη δωσει την ισχυν αυτης και κατοικησουσιν επι της γης αυτων εν ελπιδι ειρηνης και γνωσονται οτι εγω ειμι κυριος εν τω συντριψαι με τον ζυγον αυτων και εξελουμαι αυτους εκ χειρος των καταδουλωσαμενων αυτους	27 And the tree of the field will yield its fruit, and the land will yield its crop. And they will be in their own land without fear. And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I will have crushed the chains of their yoke, and when I will have rescued them from the hand of those who rule over them.
28 και ουκ εσονται ετι εν προνομη τοις εθνεσιν και τα θηρια της γης ουκετι μη φαγωσιν αυτους και κατοικησουσιν εν ελπιδι και ουκ εσται ο εκφοβων αυτους	28 And they will no longer be a prey to the Gentiles, nor will the wild beasts of the earth devour them. Instead, they will live in confidence without any terror.
29 και αναστησω αυτοις φυτον ειρηνης και ουκετι εσονται απολλυμενοι λιμω επι της γης και ου μη ενεγκωσιν ετι ονειδισμον εθνων	29 And I will raise up for them a renown branch. And they will be no longer be diminished by famine in the land, nor will they carry any longer the reproach of the Gentiles.
30 και γνωσονται οτι εγω ειμι κυριος ο θεος αυτων και αυτοι λαος μου οικος ισραηλ λεγει κυριος	30 And they shall know that I, the Lord their God, am with them, and that they are my people, the house of Israel, says the Lord God.
31 προβατα μου και προβατα ποιμνιου μου εστε και εγω κυριος ο θεος υμων λεγει κυριος κυριος	31 For you are my flocks; the flocks of my pasture are men. And I am the Lord your God, says the Lord God.”
