主耶和华说，我指着我的永生起誓，我的羊因无牧人就成为掠物，也作了一切野兽的食物。我的牧人不寻梢我的羊。这些牧人只知牧养自己，并不牧养我的羊。
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;
所以你们这些牧人要听耶和华的话。
Therefore, O ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD;
主耶和华如此说，我必与牧人为敌，必向他们的手追讨我的羊，使他们不再牧放群羊。牧人也不再牧养自己。我必救我的羊脱离他们的口，不再作他们的食物。
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.
我必从万民中领出它们，从各国内聚集它们，引导它们归回故土，也必在以色列山上一切溪水旁边，境内一切可居之处牧养它们。
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.
我必在美好的草场牧养它们。它们的圈必在以色列高处的山上，它们必在佳美之圈中躺卧，也在以色列山肥美的草场吃草。
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.
你们这些肥壮的羊，在美好的草场吃草还以为小事吗。剩下的草，你们竟用蹄践踏了。你们喝清水，剩下的水，你们竟用蹄搅浑了。
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?
因为你们用胁用肩拥挤一切瘦弱的，又用角抵触，以致使它们四散。
Because ye have thrust with side and with shoulder, and pushed all the diseased with your horns, till ye have scattered them abroad;
所以，我必拯救我的群羊不再作掠物。我也必在羊和羊中间施行判断。
Therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between cattle and cattle.
田野的树必结果，地也必有出产。他们必在故土安然居住。我折断他们所负的轭，救他们脱离那以他们为奴之人的手。那时，他们就知道我是耶和华。
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.
他们必不再作外邦人的掠物，地上的野兽也不再吞吃他们。却要安然居住，无人惊吓。
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.
