Ezequiel 34

1 La Palabra de Yavé vino a mí:

And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

2 Hijo de hombre, profetiza contra los pastores de Israel. Profetiza y dí a esos pastores: ʼAdonay Yavé dice: ¡Ay de los pastores de Israel que se apacientan a sí mismos! ¿No deben los pastores apacentar las ovejas?

Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy; and say unto them, unto the shepherds, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Woe to the shepherds of Israel that feed themselves! Should not the shepherds feed the flock?

3 Comen la sustancia, se visten con la lana y matan lo cebado, pero no apacientan el rebaño.

Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool; ye kill them that are fattened: [but] ye feed not the flock.

4 No fortalecieron a las débiles, ni curaron a la enferma, ni vendaron a la perniquebrada, ni devolvieron a la descarriada al redil, ni buscaron a la perdida, sino se enseñorearon de ellas con dureza y rigor.

The weak have ye not strengthened, nor have ye healed the sick, and ye have not bound up [what was] broken, neither have ye brought again that which was driven away, neither have ye sought for that which was lost; but with harshness and with rigour have ye ruled over them.

5 Ellas andan errantes por falta de pastor, son presa de todas las fieras del campo y se dispersaron.

And they were scattered because there was no shepherd; and they became meat to all the beasts of the field, and were scattered.

6 Mis ovejas andan errantes por todas las montañas y sobre toda colina alta. Mis ovejas fueron esparcidas por toda la superficie de la tierra, y no hubo quien las buscara ni quien preguntara por ellas.

My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill, and my sheep have been scattered upon all the face of the earth, and there was none that searched, or that sought for them.

7 Por tanto oh pastores, oigan la Palabra de ʼAdonay Yavé:

Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of Jehovah:

8 Vivo Yo, dice ʼAdonay Yavé, ya que mis pastores no cuidaron mi rebaño, éste se convirtió en objeto de presa y mis ovejas en comida de todas las fieras del campo por falta de pastor. Los pastores se apacientan ellos mismos y no apacientan mis ovejas.

[As] I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, verily because my sheep have been a prey, and my sheep have been meat to every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, and my shepherds searched not for my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flock,

9 Oigan, oh pastores, la Palabra de Yavé.

— therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of Jehovah.

10 ʼAdonay Yavé dice: Ciertamente Yo estoy contra los pastores. Demandaré de su mano mis ovejas, y dejarán de apacentarlas. Los pastores ya no se apacentarán ellos mismos, pues Yo libraré mis ovejas de sus bocas para que ya no les sirvan de comida.

Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my sheep at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock: that the shepherds may feed themselves no more; and I will deliver my sheep from their mouth, that they may not be food for them.

11 Porque ʼAdonay Yavé dice: En verdad, Yo mismo buscaré a mis ovejas y las reconoceré.

For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold I, [even] I, will both search for my sheep, and tend them.

12 Como el pastor reconoce su rebaño el día cuando está en medio de sus ovejas esparcidas, así reconoceré mis ovejas y las libraré de todos los lugares en los cuales fueron esparcidas en día nublado y oscuro.

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

13 Las sacaré de entre los pueblos. Las reuniré de las naciones y las traeré a su propia tierra. Las apacentaré en las montañas de Israel, en los valles y en todos los lugares habitados de la tierra.

And I will bring them out from the peoples, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land; and I will feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the water-courses, and in all the habitable places of the country.

14 Las apacentaré en buenos prados, y en las altas montañas de Israel estará su redil. Allí dormirán en buen redil. Serán apacentadas en rico prado sobre las montañas de Israel.

I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie down in a good fold, and in a fat pasture they shall feed upon the mountains of Israel.

15 Yo apacentaré mi rebaño y lo llevaré a descansar, dice ʼAdonay Yavé.

I will myself feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord Jehovah.

16 Yo buscaré a la perdida, devolveré a la descarriada, vendaré a la perniquebrada y fortaleceré a la débil. Pero destruiré la gorda y la fuerte. Las apacentaré con justicia.

I will seek the lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up the 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 ti, rebaño mío, ʼAdonay Yavé dice: Ciertamente Yo juzgo entre oveja y oveja, entre carneros y machos cabríos.

And as for you, my flock, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I judge between sheep and sheep, between the rams and the he-goats.

18 ¿Es poca cosa para ustedes que se alimenten de buen prado para que también pisoteen el resto de su pasto? ¿O que beban el agua clara y enturbien con sus pies el resto?

Is it too small a thing unto you to have eaten up the good pastures, but ye must tread down with your feet the rest of your pastures; and to have drunk of the settled waters, but ye must foul the rest with your feet?

19 ¿Y que tengan mis ovejas que comer lo pisoteado y beber lo enturbiado con sus pies?

And my sheep have to eat that which ye have trodden with your feet, and to drink that which ye have fouled with your feet.

20 Por tanto ʼAdonay Yavé dice: Miren, Yo mismo juzgaré entre la oveja gorda y la oveja flaca.

Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah unto them: Behold, [it is] I, and I will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep.

21 Porque con el costado y el hombro empujan y con sus cuernos atacan a todas las débiles hasta cuando las echan fuera y las dispersan.

Because ye thrust with side and with shoulder, and push all the weak ones with your horns, till ye have scattered them abroad,

22 Por tanto Yo libraré a mi rebaño. Ya no serán una presa. Juzgaré entre una oveja y otra.

— I will save my flock, that they may no more be a prey; and I will judge between sheep and sheep.

23 Levantaré sobre ellas a un pastor: a mi esclavo 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, Yavé, les seré ʼElohim, y mi esclavo David será jefe entre ellas. Yo, Yavé, hablé.

And I Jehovah will be their God, and my servant David a prince in their midst: I Jehovah have spoken [it].

25 Estableceré con ellas un Pacto de paz. Eliminaré las fieras de la tierra. Vivirán seguras en el desierto y dormirán en los bosques.

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

26 Haré que ellas y los lugares alrededor de mi colina sean una bendición, y enviaré las lluvias en su tiempo. Serán 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 its season: there shall be showers of blessing.

27 El árbol del campo y la tierra darán sus frutos. Estarán sobre la tierra con seguridad. Sabrán que Yo soy Yavé cuando rompa las correas de su yugo y las libre de mano de aquellos que se servían de ellas.

And the tree of the field shall yield its fruit, and the earth shall yield its increase; and they shall be in safety in their land, and shall know that I [am] Jehovah, when I have broken the bands of their yoke and delivered them out of the hand of those that kept them in servitude.

28 No volverán a ser despojo de las naciones, ni las fieras de la tierra las devorarán, sino habitarán con seguridad. No habrá quien las aterrorice.

And they shall no more be a prey to the nations, neither shall the beast of the earth devour them; but they shall dwell in safety, and none shall make them afraid.

29 Yo levantaré para ellas una vegetación renombrada. Ya no serán consumidas por el hambre en la tierra, ni llevarán la afrenta 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 ignominy of the nations any more.

30 Sabrán que Yo, Yavé su ʼElohim, estoy con ellas, y que ellos, la Casa de Israel, son mi pueblo, dice ʼAdonay Yavé.

And they shall know that I Jehovah their God [am] with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are my people, saith the Lord Jehovah.

31 Y ustedes, ovejas mías, ovejas de mi prado, son hombres, y Yo soy su ʼElohim, dice ʼAdonay Yavé.

And ye, my flock, the flock of my pasture, are men: I [am] your God, saith the Lord Jehovah.
