Ezekiel 34
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Me llegó un mensaje del Señor que decía:
2 Son of man, be a prophet against the keepers of the flock of Israel, and say to them, O keepers of the sheep! this is the word of the Lord: A curse is on the keepers of the flock of Israel who take the food for themselves! is it not right for the keepers to give the food to the sheep?
“Hijo de hombre, profetiza contra los pastores que guían a Israel. Profetiza y diles que esto es lo que dice el Señor Dios: Viene un desastre para los pastores de Israel, que sólo se cuidan a sí mismos y no a las ovejas. ¿No deberían los pastores ocuparse de alimentar a su rebaño?
3 You take the milk and are clothed with the wool, you put the fat beasts to death, but you give the sheep no food.
Ustedes se comen la crema, usan la lana para vestirse y sacrifican las ovejas cebadas, pero no alimentan al rebaño.
4 You have not made the diseased ones strong or made well that which was ill; you have not put bands on the broken or got back that which had been sent away or made search for the wandering ones; and the strong you have been ruling cruelly.
“No cuidas a los débiles, ni curas a los enfermos, ni vendas a los heridos, ni llevas a casa a los descarriados, ni buscas a los perdidos. Por el contrario, los gobernaste con violencia y crueldad.
5 And they were wandering in every direction because there was no keeper: and they became food for all the beasts of the field.
Se dispersaron porque no tenían pastor. Cuando se dispersaron fueron presa de todos los animales salvajes para alimentarse.
6 And my sheep went out of the way, wandering through all the mountains and on every high hill: my sheep went here and there over all the face of the earth; and no one was troubled about them or went in search of them.
Mis ovejas se dispersaron, yendo a todas las montañas y colinas altas. Se dispersaron por todas partes, y no había nadie que fuera a buscarlas.
7 For this cause, O keepers of the flock, give ear to the word of the Lord:
“Así que, pastores, escuchen lo que el Señor tiene que decir:
8 By my life, says the Lord, truly, because my sheep have been taken away, and my sheep became food for all the beasts of the field, because there was no keeper, and my keepers did not go in search of the sheep, but the keepers took food for themselves and gave my sheep no food;
Vivo yo, declara el Señor Dios, porque mis ovejas no tenían pastor y eran presa de todos los animales salvajes para alimentarse, y porque mis pastores no cuidaban de mis ovejas sino que sólo se alimentaban a sí mismos,
9 For this reason, O you keepers of the flock, give ear to the word of the Lord;
así que, pastores, escuchen lo que el Señor tiene que decir.
10 This is what the Lord has said: See I am against the keepers of the flock, and I will make search and see what they have done with my sheep, and will let them be keepers of my sheep no longer; and the keepers will no longer get food for themselves; I will take my sheep out of their mouths so that they may not be food for them.
“Esto es lo que dice el Señor: Cuidado, porque estoy condenando a los pastores, y les quitaré mis ovejas y dejaré de cuidarlas para que no puedan alimentarse más. Les quitaré mis ovejas, y no les dejaré comer más las ovejas.
11 For this is what the Lord has said: Truly, I, even I, will go searching and looking for my sheep.
“Porque esto es lo que dice el Señor Dios: Mira que yo mismo iré en busca de mis ovejas, buscando para encontrarlas.
12 As the keeper goes looking for his flock when he is among his wandering sheep, so I will go looking for my sheep, and will get them safely out of all the places where they have been sent wandering in the day of clouds and black night.
Así como un pastor va en busca de su oveja perdida cuando está con el rebaño, así yo buscaré a mis ovejas. “Las rescataré de todos los lugares en los que se dispersaron en un día oscuro y lúgubre.
13 And I will take them out from among the peoples, and get them together from the countries, and will take them into their land; and I will give them food on the mountains of Israel by the water-streams and wherever men are living in the country.
Las sacaré de entre las demás naciones. Las reuniré de los distintos países y las devolveré a su tierra. Como un pastor, haré que los alimenten en los montes de Israel, en los valles y en todos los lugares donde haya gente en el país.
14 I will give them good grass-land for their food, and their safe place will be the mountains of the high place of Israel: there they will take their rest in a good place, and on fat grass-land they will take their food on the mountains of Israel.
Les proporcionaré buenos pastos y lugares para pacer en las altas montañas de Israel. También podrán descansar allí en los buenos pastos y en los lugares para pastar en las montañas de Israel.
15 I myself will give food to my flock, and I will give them rest, says the Lord.
“Yo mismo cuidaré de mis ovejas y les daré un lugar de descanso, declara el Señor Dios.
16 I will go in search of that which had gone wandering from the way, and will get back that which had been sent in flight, and will put bands on that which was broken, and give strength to that which was ill: but the fat and the strong I will give up to destruction; I will give them for their food the punishment which is theirs by right.
Iré en busca de las perdidas, traeré a casa a las descarriadas, vendaré a las heridas y fortaleceré a las débiles. Sin embargo, destruiré a los que son gordos y fuertes. Porque hago lo correcto, me aseguraré de cuidarlos.
17 And as for you, O my flock, says the Lord, truly, I will be judge between sheep and sheep, the he-sheep and the he-goats.
“Rebaño mío, esto es lo que el Señor Dios les dice: Estén vigilantes, porque yo juzgaré entre una oveja y otra, entre los corderos y las cabras.
18 Does it seem a small thing to you to have taken your food on good grass-land while the rest of your grass-land is stamped down under your feet? and that after drinking from clear waters you make the rest of the waters dirty with your feet?
¿Acaso no se conformaron con tener alimento en buenos pastos sino que tienen que pisotear lo que queda? ¿Acaso no les basta con beber agua limpia, sino que tienen que ensuciar lo que queda con sus pies?
19 And as for my sheep, their food is the grass which has been stamped on by your feet, and their drink the water which has been made dirty by your feet.
¿Por qué mi rebaño tiene que alimentarse de lo que sus pies han pisoteado, y beber el agua que sus pies han enturbiado?
20 For this reason the Lord has said to them, Truly, I, even I, will be judge between the fat sheep and the thin sheep.
“Por eso el Señor Dios les dice: Vigilen, porque yo mismo juzgaré entre las ovejas gordas y las flacas.
21 Because you have been pushing with side and leg, pushing the diseased with your horns till they were sent away in every direction;
Así como ustedes empujan a las demás con sus costados y sus hombros, y usan sus cuernos para atacar a las débiles hasta ahuyentarlas,
22 I will make my flock safe, and they will no longer be taken away, and I will be judge between sheep and sheep.
yo rescataré a mi rebaño, y ya no serán sus víctimas. Yo juzgaré entre una oveja y otra.
23 And I will put over them one keeper, and he will give them food, even my servant David; he will give them food and be their keeper.
Pondré a un solo pastor a cargo de ellas, mi siervo David, y él las cuidará. Él las cuidará y será su pastor.
24 And I the Lord will be their God and my servant David their ruler; I the Lord have said it.
Yo, el Señor, seré su Dios, y mi siervo David será su jefe. Yo, el Señor, he hablado.
25 And I will make with them an agreement of peace, and will put an end to evil beasts through all the land: and they will be living safely in the waste land, sleeping in the woods.
“Haré un acuerdo de paz con ellos y eliminaré los animales salvajes del país, para que puedan vivir seguros en el desierto y dormir seguros en el bosque.
26 And I will give the rain at the right time, and I will make the shower come down at the right time; there will be showers of blessing.
Los bendeciré a ellos y a todos los alrededores de mi colina. Enviaré la lluvia en el momento oportuno. Serán lluvias de bendición.
27 And the tree of the field will give its fruit and the earth will give its increase, and they will be safe in their land; and they will be certain that I am the Lord, when I have had their yoke broken and have given them salvation from the hands of those who made them servants.
Los árboles de los huertos producirán sus frutos, la tierra cultivará sus cosechas y mi rebaño vivirá seguro en su país. Entonces sabrán que yo soy el Señor, cuando rompa sus yugos de esclavitud y los libere de quienes los hicieron esclavos.
28 And their goods will no longer be taken by the nations, and they will not again be food for the beasts of the earth; but they will be living safely and no one will be a cause of fear to them.
“Ya no serán víctimas de otras naciones, y los animales salvajes no los comerán. Vivirán con seguridad, y nadie los aterrorizará.
29 And I will give them planting-places of peace, and they will no longer be wasted from need of food or put to shame by the nations.
“Haré que sus campos produzcan cosechas extraordinarias, y no volverán a sufrir hambre en su país ni serán objeto de burla por parte de otros.
30 And they will be certain that I the Lord their God am with them, and that they, the children of Israel, are my people, says the Lord.
Entonces sabrán que yo estoy con ellos como el Señor su Dios, y que el pueblo de Israel me pertenece, declara el Señor Dios.
31 And you are my sheep, the sheep of my grass-lands, and I am your God, says the Lord.
“Ustedes son mis ovejas, las ovejas que yo apaciento. Ustedes son mi pueblo, y yo soy su Dios, declara el Señor Dios”.
