Ezequiel 34
1 La Palabra de Yavé vino a mí:
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 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 Comen la sustancia, se visten con la lana y matan lo cebado, pero no apacientan el rebaño.
You eat the fat, and you clothe yourself with the wool, you kill the fatlings; but you do not feed the 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.
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 Ellas andan errantes por falta de pastor, son presa de todas las fieras 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 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 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 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, '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 Oigan, oh pastores, la Palabra de Yavé.
therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the LORD:
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: '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 ʼAdonay Yavé dice: En verdad, Yo mismo buscaré a mis ovejas y las reconoceré.
"'For thus says the LORD: "Look, I myself, even I, will search for my sheep, and will seek them 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 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 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.
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 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 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 apacentaré mi rebaño y lo llevaré a descansar, dice ʼAdonay Yavé.
I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I will cause them to lie down," says the LORD.
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 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 ti, rebaño mío, ʼAdonay Yavé dice: Ciertamente Yo juzgo entre oveja y oveja, entre carneros y 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 ¿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?
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 ¿Y que tengan mis ovejas que comer lo pisoteado y beber lo enturbiado con sus 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 tanto ʼAdonay Yavé dice: Miren, 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 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 with side and with shoulder, and push all the diseased with your horns, until you have scattered them abroad;
22 Por tanto Yo libraré a mi rebaño. Ya no serán una presa. Juzgaré entre una oveja y otra.
therefore I will save my flock, and they shall 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.
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.
I, the LORD, will be their God, and my servant David prince among 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.
"'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 ellas y los lugares alrededor de mi colina sean una bendición, y enviaré las lluvias en su tiempo. Serán 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 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.
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 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.
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 Yo levantaré para ellas una vegetación renombrada. Ya no serán consumidas por el hambre en la tierra, ni llevarán la afrenta 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, Yavé su ʼElohim, estoy con ellas, y que ellos, la Casa de Israel, son mi pueblo, dice ʼAdonay Yavé.
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 Y ustedes, ovejas mías, ovejas de mi prado, son hombres, y Yo soy su ʼElohim, dice ʼAdonay Yavé.
"You my sheep, the sheep of my pasture, are men, and I am your God," says the LORD.'"
