Then he led out his people like sheep and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.

他却领出自己的民如羊，在旷野引他们如羊群。

他却领出自己的子民如羊，在旷野引导他们如羊群。

他却领出自己的子民如羊，在旷野引导他们如羊群。

祂领出自己的子民，好像领出羊群，引领他们经过旷野，

他却把自己的子民领出来好像领羊群，在旷野引导他们像引导群畜一样。

他领出自己的子民如同领出羊群，在旷野引领他们如同引领畜群。

他卻領出自己的民如羊，在曠野引他們如羊羣。

他卻領出自己的子民如羊，在曠野引導他們如羊羣。

他卻領出自己的子民如羊，在曠野引導他們如羊羣。

祂領出自己的子民，好像領出羊群，引領他們經過曠野，

他卻把自己的子民領出來好像領羊群，在曠野引導他們像引導群畜一樣。

他卻領出了自己的人民、如羊一般，引導了他們如羊羣於曠野。

他領出自己的子民如同領出羊群，在曠野引領他們如同引領畜群。

引出其民如羊、導之於野、如羣羊兮、

導厥選民、譬彼群羊、經行曠野兮、

導引己民如導群羊、在曠野引之如引群畜、

惟於吾族。寵命獨降。牧之如羊。曠野之中。

But he brought his people out like a flock; he led them like sheep through the wilderness.

But he brought his people out like a flock. He led them like sheep through the desert.

But he led his own people like a flock of sheep, guiding them safely through the wilderness.

He led his people out like sheep and guided them like a flock in the wilderness.

But He led His own people out like sheep, And guided them in the wilderness like a flock;

But He made His own people go forth like sheep, And guided them in the wilderness like a flock;

But he led forth his own people like sheep, And guided them in the wilderness like a flock.

He led His people out like sheep and guided them like a flock in the wilderness.

But made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.

Yet he brought out his people like sheep; he led them through the wilderness like a flock.

But he led out his own people like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.

You led your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

By a pillar of cloud you led them in the day, and by a pillar of fire in the night to light for them the way in which they should go.

Then he remembered the days of old, of Moses and his people. Where is he who brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock? Where is he who put in the midst of them his Holy Spirit,who caused his glorious arm to go at the right hand of Moses, who divided the waters before them to make for himself an everlasting name,who led them through the depths? Like a horse in the desert, they did not stumble.Like livestock that go down into the valley, the Spirit of the Lord gave them rest. So you led your people, to make for yourself a glorious name.

I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.He who is a hired hand and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them.He flees because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep.I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me,just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd.For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life that I may take it up again.No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from my Father.”There was again a division among the Jews because of these words.Many of them said,“ He has a demon, and is insane; why listen to him?”Others said,“ These are not the words of one who is oppressed by a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?”At that time the Feast of Dedication took place at Jerusalem. It was winter,and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the colonnade of Solomon.So the Jews gathered around him and said to him,“ How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.”Jesus answered them,“ I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father’s name bear witness about me,but you do not believe because you are not among my sheep.My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand.I and the Father are one.”The Jews picked up stones again to stone him.Jesus answered them,“ I have shown you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you going to stone me?”The Jews answered him,“ It is not for a good work that we are going to stone you but for blasphemy, because you, being a man, make yourself God.”Jesus answered them,“ Is it not written in your Law,‘ I said, you are gods’?If he called them gods to whom the word of God came— and Scripture cannot be broken—do you say of him whom the Father consecrated and sent into the world,‘ You are blaspheming,’ because I said,‘ I am the Son of God’?If I am not doing the works of my Father, then do not believe me;but if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.”Again they sought to arrest him, but he escaped from their hands.He went away again across the Jordan to the place where John had been baptizing at first, and there he remained.And many came to him. And they said,“ John did no sign, but everything that John said about this man was true.”And many believed in him there.

“ What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open country, and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it?And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing.And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them,‘ Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost.’

Then he brought out Israel with silver and gold, and there was none among his tribes who stumbled.

“ For thus says the Lord God: Behold, I, I myself will search for my sheep and will seek them out.As a shepherd seeks out his flock when he is among his sheep that have been scattered, so will I seek out my sheep, and I will rescue them from all places where they have been scattered on a day of clouds and thick darkness.And I will bring them out from the peoples and gather them from the countries, and will bring them into their own land. And I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the ravines, and in all the inhabited places of the country.I will feed them with good pasture, and on the mountain heights of Israel shall be their grazing land. There they shall lie down in good grazing land, and on rich pasture they shall feed on the mountains of Israel.I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I myself will make them lie down, declares the Lord God.I will seek the lost, and I will bring back the strayed, and I will bind up the injured, and I will strengthen the weak, and the fat and the strong I will destroy. I will feed them in justice.“ As for you, my flock, thus says the Lord God: Behold, I judge between sheep and sheep, between rams and male goats.Is it not enough for you to feed on the good pasture, that you must tread down with your feet the rest of your pasture; and to drink of clear water, that you must muddy the rest of the water with your feet?And must my sheep eat what you have trodden with your feet, and drink what you have muddied with your feet?“ Therefore, thus says the Lord God to them: Behold, I, I myself will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep.Because you push with side and shoulder, and thrust at all the weak with your horns, till you have scattered them abroad,I will rescue my flock; they shall no longer be a prey. And I will judge between sheep and sheep.And I will set up over them one shepherd, my servant David, and he shall feed them: he shall feed them and be their shepherd.And I, the Lord, will be their God, and my servant David shall be prince among them. I am the Lord; I have spoken.“ I will make with them a covenant of peace and banish wild beasts from the land, so that they may dwell securely in the wilderness and sleep in the woods.And I will make them and the places all around my hill a blessing, and I will send down the showers in their season; they shall be showers of blessing.And the trees of the field shall yield their fruit, and the earth shall yield its increase, and they shall be secure in their land. And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I break the bars of their yoke, and deliver them from the hand of those who enslaved them.They shall no more be a prey to the nations, nor shall the beasts of the land devour them. They shall dwell securely, and none shall make them afraid.And I will provide for them renowned plantations so that they shall no more be consumed with hunger in the land, and no longer suffer the reproach of the nations.And they shall know that I am the Lord their God with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are my people, declares the Lord God.And you are my sheep, human sheep of my pasture, and I am your God, declares the Lord God.”

Therefore thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning the shepherds who care for my people:“ You have scattered my flock and have driven them away, and you have not attended to them. Behold, I will attend to you for your evil deeds, declares the Lord.Then I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all the countries where I have driven them, and I will bring them back to their fold, and they shall be fruitful and multiply.I will set shepherds over them who will care for them, and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall any be missing, declares the Lord.

He will tend his flock like a shepherd; he will gather the lambs in his arms; he will carry them in his bosom, and gently lead those that are with young.

Know that the Lord, he is God! It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

For he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. Today, if you hear his voice,
