Ezequiel 34

1 La Palabra de Yavé vino a mí:

And the word of the Lord came to 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 to the shepherds, Thus says the Lord God; O shepherds of Israel, do shepherds feed themselves? do not the shepherds feed the sheep?

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

Behold, you feed on the milk, and clothe yourselves with the wool, and kill the fat: but you feed not my sheep.

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 one you have not strengthened, and the sick you have not cherished, and the bruised you have not bound up, and the stray one you have not turned back, and the lost you have not sought; and the strong you have wearied with labor.

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

And my sheep were scattered, because there were no shepherds: and they became meat to all the wild beasts of the field.

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.

And my sheep were scattered on every mountain, and on every high hill: yes, they were scattered on the face of the earth, and there was none to seek them out, nor to bring them back.

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

Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the Lord.

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, says the Lord God, surely because my sheep became a prey, and my sheep became meat to all the wild beasts of the field, because there were no shepherds, and the shepherds sought not out my sheep, and the shepherds fed themselves, but fed not my sheep.

9 Oigan, oh pastores, la Palabra de Yavé.

For this cause, O shepherds,

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 says the Lord God, Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my sheep at their hands, and will turn them back that they shall not feed my sheep, and the shepherds shall no longer feed them; and I will deliver my sheep out of their mouth, and they shall no longer be meat for them.

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

For thus says the Lord God, Behold, I will seek out my sheep, and will visit 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 the shepherd seeks his flock, in the day when there is darkness and cloud, in the midst of the sheep that are separated: so will I seek out my sheep, and will bring them back from every place where they were scattered in the day of cloud and darkness.

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 Gentiles, and will gather them from the countries, and will bring them into their own land, and will feed them upon the mountains of Israel, and in the valleys, and in every inhabited place of the land.

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, on a high mountain of Israel: and their folds shall be there, and they shall lie down, and there shall they rest in perfect prosperity, and they shall feed in a fat pasture on the mountains of Israel.

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

I will feed my sheep, and I will cause them to rest; and they shall know that I am the Lord: thus says the Lord God.

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 that which is lost, and I will recover the stray one, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen the fainting, and will guard the strong, and 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, you sheep, thus says the Lord God, Behold, I will distinguish between sheep and sheep, [between] rams and 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?

And [is it] not enough for you that you fed on the good pasture, that you trampled with your feet the remnant of your pasture? and [that] you drank the standing water, [that] you disturbed the residue with your feet?

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

So my sheep fed on that which you had trampled with your feet; and they drank the water that had been disturbed by your feet.

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

Therefore thus says the Lord God; Behold, I will separate between the strong sheep and the weak 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.

You did thrust with your sides and shoulders, and pushed with your horns, and you cruelly treated all the sick.

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

Therefore I will save my sheep, and they shall not be any more for a prey; and will judge between ram and ram.

23 Levantaré sobre ellas a un pastor: a mi esclavo David. Él las apacentará y será su pastor.

And I will raise up one shepherd over them, and he shall tend them, [even] my servant David, 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 the Lord will be to them a God, and David a prince in the midst of them; I the Lord 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 David a covenant of peace and I will utterly destroy evil beasts from off the land; and they shall dwell in the wilderness, and sleep in the forests.

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 settle them round about my mountain; and I will give you the rain, the rain 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 trees that are in the field shall yield their fruit, and the earth shall yield her strength, and they shall dwell in the confidence of peace on their land, and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have broken their yoke; and I will deliver them out of the hand of those that enslaved them.

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 spoil to the nations, and the wild beasts of the land shall no more at all devour them; and they shall dwell safely, and there shall be none to 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 peace, and they shall no more perish with hunger upon the land, and they shall no more bear the reproach of the nations.

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 am the Lord their God, and they my people. O house of Israel, says the Lord God,

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

you are my sheep, even the sheep of my flock, and I am the Lord your God, says the Lord God.
