Se si volgono
ai servi della Casa di Colui che io non nomino, per chiedere
di essere cancellati, allora fate in modo che essi giungano
all'incontro con gli uomini pastori, pieni di rabbia e risentimento.
La loro animosità verbale attirerà altri e la notizia girerà fulminea

It all depends whether the author is referring to spiritual sheperds or something more literal or prosaic.

shepherd-men
This way you could have both words included, the first "shepherd" being the second's adjective ("men"), which seems what the author suggests in Italian.

Obviously shepherds are shepherds without further explanation but if in Italian the author wrote "uomini pastori" there must be a reason (it certainly sounds more poetic), so putting both words together, in my opinion, gives a better idea.
