Ezequiel 34

1 La Palabra de Yavé vino a mí:

And there is a word of YHWH 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 concerning shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and you have said to them, Thus said Lord YHWH to the shepherds: Woe [to] the shepherds of Israel, Who have been feeding themselves! Do the shepherds not feed the flock?

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

You eat the fat, and you put on the wool, You slaughter the fed one, You do not feed 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.

You have not strengthened the weak, And you have not healed the sick one, And you have not bound up the broken, And have not brought back the driven away, And you have not sought the lost, And you have ruled them with might and with rigor.

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

And they are scattered from want of a shepherd, And are for food to every beast of the field, Indeed, they are 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 flock goes astray on all the mountains, And on every high hill, And My flock has been scattered on [the] whole face of the earth, And there is none inquiring, and none seeking.

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

Therefore, shepherds, hear a word of YHWH:

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—a declaration of Lord YHWH, If not, because of My flock being for a prey, Indeed, My flock is for food to every beast of the field, Because there is no shepherd, And My shepherds have not sought My flock, And the shepherds feed themselves, And they have not fed My flock.

9 Oigan, oh pastores, la Palabra de Yavé.

Therefore, O shepherds, hear a word of YHWH!

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 said Lord YHWH: Behold, I [am] against the shepherds, And have required My flock from their hand, And caused them to cease from feeding the flock, And the shepherds feed themselves no more, And I have delivered My flock from their mouth, And they are not for food to them.

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

For thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I—even I, have required My flock, And I have sought it out.

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’s searching of his drove, In the day of his being in the midst of his scattered flock, so I seek My flock, And have delivered them out of all places, To where they have been scattered, In a day of cloud and thick 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 have brought them out from the peoples, And have gathered them from the lands, And brought them to their own ground, And have fed them on mountains of Israel, By streams, and by all dwellings 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 feed them with good pasture, And their habitation is on mountains of the high place of Israel, There they lie down in a good habitation, And they enjoy fat pastures on mountains of Israel.

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

I feed My flock, and cause them to lie down, A declaration of Lord YHWH.

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 seek the lost, and bring back the driven away, And I bind up the broken, and I strengthen the sick, And I destroy the fat and the strong, I feed it 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 you, My flock, thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I am judging between sheep and sheep, Between rams and male 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 a little thing for you—[that] you enjoy the good pasture, And tread down the remnant of your pasture with your feet, And drink a depth of waters, And trample the remainder with your feet,

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

And My flock consumes the trodden thing of your feet, And drinks the trampled thing of your feet?

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

Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH to them: Behold, I—even I, have judged between fat sheep and 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 you thrust away with side and with shoulder, And push all the diseased with your horns, Until you have scattered them to the out-place,

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

Therefore I have given safety to My flock, And they are not for prey anymore, And I have judged between sheep and sheep.

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

And have raised up one shepherd over them, And he has fed them—My servant David, He feeds them, and he is their shepherd,

24 Yo, Yavé, les seré ʼElohim, y mi esclavo David será jefe entre ellas. Yo, Yavé, hablé.

And I, YHWH, I am their God, And My servant David [is] prince in their midst, I, YHWH, have spoken.

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 have made a covenant of peace with them, And caused evil beasts to cease out of the land, And they have dwelt confidently in a wilderness, And they have slept in 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 have given them, and the outskirts of My hill, a blessing, And caused the shower to come down in its season, They are 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 has given its fruit, And the land gives her increase, And they have been confident on their land, And they have known that I [am] YHWH, In My breaking the bands of their yoke, And I have delivered them from the hand of those laying service on 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 are no longer a prey to nations, And the beast of the earth does not devour them, And they have dwelt confidently, And there is none troubling.

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 have raised a plantation of renown for them, And they are no longer consumed by hunger in the land, And they no longer bear the shame 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 have known that I, YHWH, their God, [am] with them, And they—the house of Israel—My people, A declaration of Lord YHWH.

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

And you, My flock, the flock of My pasture, You [are] men [and] I [am] your God, A declaration of Lord YHWH!”
