Ezequiel 34

1 La palabra de Yahvé vino a mí, diciendo:

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 tell them, even to the shepherds, 'Thus says the LORD: "Woe to the shepherds of Israel who feed themselves. Shouldn't the shepherds feed the sheep?

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 yourself with the wool, you kill the fatlings; but you do not feed the sheep.

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.

You haven't strengthened the diseased, neither have you healed that which was sick, neither have you bound up that which was broken, neither have you brought back that which was driven away, neither have you sought that which was lost; but with force and with rigor you have ruled over them.

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

They were scattered, because there was no shepherd; and they became food to all the animals of the field.

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 sheep were scattered on all the surface of the earth; and there was none who searched or sought."'

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, 'surely because my sheep became a prey, and my sheep became food to all the animals of the field, because there was no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my sheep, but the shepherds fed themselves, and didn't feed my sheep';

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

therefore, 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: 'Look, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my sheep at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the sheep; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; and I will deliver my sheep from their mouth, that they may not be food 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: "Look, I myself, even I, will search for my sheep, and will 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 abroad, so will I seek out my sheep; and I 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.

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 watercourses, 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 with good pasture; and on the mountains of the height of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie down in a good fold; and on 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 myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I will cause them to lie down," says the LORD.

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 will bring back that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but the fat and the strong I will destroy; I will feed them in justice."

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.

"'As for you, O my flock, thus says the LORD: "Look, I judge between sheep and sheep, the rams and the male 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?

Does it seem a small thing to you to have fed on the good pasture, but you must tread down with your feet the residue of your pasture? And to have drunk of the clear 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.

As for my sheep, 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 to them: "Look, I, even I, will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep.

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

Because you thrust with side and with shoulder, and push all the diseased with your horns, until 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 I will save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between sheep and sheep.

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

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.

I, the LORD, will be their God, and my servant David 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.

"'I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause evil animals to cease out of the land; and they shall dwell securely 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.

I will make them and the places around my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in its 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.

The tree of the field shall yield its 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 have broken the bars of their yoke, and have delivered them out of the hand of those who made slaves 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.

They shall no more be a prey to the nations, neither shall the animals of the earth devour them; but they shall dwell securely, 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.

I will raise up to them a plantation for renown, and they shall be no more consumed with famine in the land, neither bear the shame of the nations 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.

They shall know that I, the LORD, their God am with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are my people," says the LORD.

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

"You my sheep, the sheep of my pasture, are men, and I am your God," says the LORD.'"
