望爾等勉為天主羊群之良牧、勿用霸道、當用王道。毋惟利是圖、當以善為樂。

Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care, watching over them— not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not pursuing dishonest gain, but eager to serve;

Be shepherds of God’s flock, the believers under your care. Watch over them, though not because you have to. Instead, do it because you want to. That’s what God wants you to do. Don’t do it because you want to get money in dishonest ways. Do it because you really want to serve.

shepherd the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight, not under compulsion, but willingly, as God would have you; not for shameful gain, but eagerly;

Care for the flock that God has entrusted to you. Watch over it willingly, not grudgingly— not for what you will get out of it, but because you are eager to serve God.

Shepherd God’s flock among you, not overseeing out of compulsion but willingly, as God would have you; not out of greed for money but eagerly;

shepherd the flock of God among you, exercising oversight, not under compulsion but voluntarily, according to the will of God; and not with greed but with eagerness;

Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, serving as overseers, not by compulsion but willingly, not for dishonest gain but eagerly;

Tend the flock of God which is among you, exercising the oversight, not of constraint, but willingly, according to the will of God; nor yet for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;

Shepherd God’s flock among you, not overseeing out of compulsion but freely, according to God’s will; not for the money but eagerly;

蓋司牧乃天主之家宰、是宜無懈可擊、毋剛愎自用、毋暴氣動怒。凡嗜酒毆人、貪婪財貨、皆非所宜。

今日吾特向爾聲明、人之淪喪、吾無咎焉；蓋天主玄謨、吾已昭示於爾、曾無畏縮。爾其戰戰兢兢、保身保群；斯群也、即主以其寶血贖得之教會、而聖神之所以立爾為主教、以資督導也。

為副祭者、亦須莊重自愛、弗可一口兩舌、飲酒無度、貪婪不義之財；

望汝提醒眾人、務宜順服官長有司從命如流、奉行百善、

不可沉湎於酒、舉止暴躁；務須溫柔寬裕、與世無爭、不戀財物、

饍畢、耶穌問西門伯鐸祿曰：『若納子西門、汝之愛我、有勝於儕輩者乎？』對曰：『然、主固知我之孺慕也。』主曰：『飼吾羔！』再問曰：『若納子西門、汝果愛我乎？』對曰：『然、主固知我之孺慕也。』主曰：『牧吾羊！』三問曰：『若納子西門、汝果慕我乎？』伯鐸祿因三次見問、不覺愀然曰：『主乎、爾固無所不知、當知吾之慕爾矣。』主曰：『飼吾羊！

二三子毋庸憂疑、已承爾父美意、以國授爾矣。

斯輩貪污成性、巧言如簧、以爾等為營利之具。若而人者、罪案夙定。天網恢恢、固無所逃於天地間也。

爾等其注意、我欲第三次就爾、仍不擬增爾負擔。蓋吾所求者爾也、非爾之所有也。且兒女本無積財與父母之義務、惟父母對於兒女則有此義務耳。吾為爾等靈魂之故、固不惜任何之犧牲、即犧牲本身、亦所甘心。豈吾之愛爾愈厚、而爾之愛我愈薄耶？

世焉有當兵而自備其餉者乎？又焉有經營果園、而不食其果；飼養牛羊、而不飲其乳者乎？

又宜互相檢點、莫使有一人退化、而自絕於天主之聖寵；莫使辛螫之根苗、萌櫱滋蔓、為厲之階、而令眾人受其沾染；

蓋我引以為榮者、不在宣傳福音；蓋宣傳福音、在吾為義不容辭之事、實有所受命耳。若中途而廢、則吾其休矣！若予之傳道為出於自動、則受酬宜也、今既有所受命、則在予為一受託之義務而已。

此輩貪圖不義之財、教人以不經之事、流毒所及、覆人家室；當有以緘其長舌、莫令謬種流傳。

其貨有金銀珠寶、細紵紫絳、錦緞緋布、又有各種香木象牙、珍貴木器、銅器、鐵器、玉器、以及肉桂香料、香膏、乳香、與酒油、麵粉、小麥、牛羊車馬、乃至人之身體靈魂、亦供其營業。

本在牧場。羊群是督。主獨舉之。使為民牧。以治義塞。以正雅谷。勵精圖治。盡其忠慤。納民軌物。實憑經略。

基督為吾人自舍其身、正欲拯贖吾人、脫免一切罪惡、加以洗滌、俾得充其子民、發憤為善云耳。

葆樂曰：『何事痛泣、令我傷心？吾因主名、不第被縛、即舍身於耶路撒冷、亦所欣願。』

吾未嘗貪圖他人之金銀衣服；我與從者所需、悉憑此兩手以供之；此乃爾所應知也。

故為爾等羅馬同人、闡述福音、亦為當務之急。

惟未識爾是否樂意、故不願擅作主張、且欲使爾之為善、出諸本心、而無勉強之意。
