Ezequiel 34

1 La palabra de Yahvé vino a mí, diciendo:

And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

2 “Hijo de hombre, profetiza contra los pastores de Israel. Profetiza y diles a los pastores: El Señor Yahvé dice: “¡Ay de los pastores de Israel que se apacientan a sí mismos! ¿No deberían los pastores alimentar a las ovejas?

Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD to the shepherds; Woe be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the flocks?

3 Tú te comes la grasa. Te vistes con la lana. Matas a los gordos, pero no alimentas a las ovejas.

You eat the fat, and you clothe you with the wool, you kill them that are fed: but you feed not the flock.

4 No has fortalecido al enfermo. No has curado lo que estaba enfermo. No has atado lo que estaba roto. No has hecho volver a lo que fue expulsado. No has buscado lo que estaba perdido, sino que has gobernado sobre ellos con fuerza y con rigor.

The diseased have you not strengthened, neither have you healed that which was sick, neither have you bound up that which was broken, neither have you brought again that which was driven away, neither have you sought that which was lost; but with force and with cruelty have you ruled them.

5 Fueron dispersados, porque no había pastor. Se convirtieron en alimento de todos los animales del campo, y se dispersaron.

And they were scattered, because there is no shepherd: and they became meat to all the beasts of the field, when they were scattered.

6 Mis ovejas vagaban por todos los montes y por todas las colinas altas. Sí, mis ovejas estaban dispersas por toda la superficie de la tierra. No había nadie que las buscara ni las buscara”.

My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and on every high hill: yes, my flock was scattered on all the face of the earth, and none did search or seek after them.

7 “‘Por lo tanto, pastores, escuchen la palabra de Yahvé:

Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the LORD;

8 “Vivo yo”, dice el Señor Yahvé, “ciertamente porque mis ovejas se convirtieron en presa, y mis ovejas se convirtieron en comida para todos los animales del campo, porque no había pastor, y mis pastores no buscaron a mis ovejas, sino que los pastores se alimentaron a sí mismos, y no alimentaron a mis ovejas,

As I live, says 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;

9 por lo tanto, pastores, escuchen la palabra de Yahvé.”

Therefore, O you shepherds, hear the word of the LORD;

10 El Señor Yahvé dice: “He aquí que yo estoy contra los pastores. Requeriré mis ovejas de su mano, y haré que dejen de apacentarlas. Los pastores no se alimentarán más. Libraré a mis ovejas de su boca, para que no sean alimento para ellos”.

Thus says 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.

11 “‘Porque el Señor Yahvé dice: “He aquí que yo mismo, yo mismo, buscaré a mis ovejas, y las buscaré.

For thus says the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out.

12 Como un pastor busca su rebaño el día que está entre sus ovejas dispersas, así yo buscaré mis ovejas. Las libraré de todos los lugares donde se han dispersado en el día nublado y oscuro.

As a shepherd seeks out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.

13 Las sacaré de los pueblos, las reuniré de las tierras y las llevaré a su propia tierra. Los alimentaré en los montes de Israel, junto a los cursos de agua y en todos los lugares habitados del país.

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 on the mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhabited places of the country.

14 Los alimentaré con buenos pastos, y su redil estará en los montes de la altura de Israel. Allí se acostarán en un buen redil. Se alimentarán con ricos pastos en los montes de Israel.

I will feed them in a good pasture, and on 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 on the mountains of Israel.

15 Yo mismo seré el pastor de mis ovejas, y haré que se acuesten”, dice el Señor Yahvé.

I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, says the Lord GOD.

16 “Buscaré a la que se perdió, haré volver a la que fue expulsada, vendaré a la que estaba rota y fortaleceré a la que estaba enferma; pero destruiré a la gorda y a la fuerte. Los alimentaré con justicia”.

I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but I will destroy the fat and the strong; I will feed them with judgment.

17 “En cuanto a ustedes, oh rebaño mío, el Señor Yahvé dice: ‘He aquí que yo juzgo entre oveja y oveja, los carneros y los machos cabríos.

And as for you, O my flock, thus says the Lord GOD; Behold, I judge between cattle and cattle, between the rams and the he goats.

18 ¿Os parece poca cosa haber comido el buen pasto, pero debéis pisar con vuestros pies el residuo de vuestro pasto? Y haber bebido de las aguas claras, pero debéis ensuciar el residuo con vuestros pies?

Seems it a small thing to you to have eaten up the good pasture, but you must tread down with your feet the residue of your pastures? and to have drunk of the deep waters, but you must foul the residue with your feet?

19 En cuanto a mis ovejas, comen lo que has pisado con tus pies, y beben lo que has ensuciado con tus pies.

And as for my flock, they eat that which you have trodden with your feet; and they drink that which you have fouled with your feet.

20 “Por eso el Señor Yahvé les dice: ‘He aquí que yo, yo mismo, juzgaré entre la oveja gorda y la oveja flaca.

Therefore thus says the Lord GOD to them; Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat cattle and between the lean cattle.

21 Porque empujáis con el costado y con el hombro, y empujáis a todas las enfermas con vuestros cuernos, hasta dispersarlas,

Because you have thrust with side and with shoulder, and pushed all the diseased with your horns, till you have scattered them abroad;

22 por eso salvaré a mi rebaño, y ya no será una presa. Yo juzgaré entre oveja y oveja.

Therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between cattle and cattle.

23 Pondré un solo pastor sobre ellas, y él las apacentará, mi siervo David. Él las apacentará y será su pastor.

And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.

24 Yo, Yahvé, seré su Dios, y mi siervo David príncipe entre ellos. Yo, Yahvé, lo he dicho.

And I the LORD will be their God, and my servant David a prince among them; I the LORD have spoken it.

25 “‘Haré con ellos un pacto de paz, y haré que los animales malignos cesen de la tierra. Habitarán con seguridad en el desierto y dormirán en los bosques.

And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell safely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.

26 Haré que ellos y los lugares alrededor de mi colina sean una bendición. Haré que la lluvia caiga en su tiempo. Habrá lluvias de bendición.

And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing.

27 El árbol del campo dará su fruto, y la tierra dará su cosecha, y estarán seguros en su tierra. Entonces sabrán que yo soy Yahvé, cuando haya roto las barras de su yugo y los haya librado de la mano de quienes los esclavizaron.

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.

28 Ya no serán presa de las naciones, ni los animales de la tierra los devorarán, sino que habitarán con seguridad, y nadie los atemorizará.

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.

29 Les levantaré una plantación de renombre, y ya no serán consumidos por el hambre en la tierra, ni soportarán más la vergüenza de las naciones.

And I will raise up for them a plant of renown, and they shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land, neither bear the shame of the heathen any more.

30 Sabrán que yo, Yahvé, su Dios, estoy con ellos, y que ellos, la casa de Israel, son mi pueblo, dice el Señor Yahvé.

Thus shall they know that I the LORD their God am with them, and that they, even the house of Israel, are my people, says the Lord GOD.

31 Vosotros, mis ovejas, las ovejas de mi prado, sois hombres, y yo soy vuestro Dios’, dice el Señor Yahvé”.

And you my flock, the flock of my pasture, are men, and I am your God, says the Lord GOD.
