Ezequiel 34

1Me fue dirigida la palabra de Yahvé, que dijo:

2“Hijo de hombre, profetiza contra los pastores de Israel; profetiza, y di a estos pastores: Así habla Yahvé, el Señor: ¡Ay de los pastores de Israel que se apacientan a sí mismos! ¿No es más bien el deber de los pastores apacentar el rebaño?

3Vosotros coméis su leche y os vestís de su lana; matáis lo gordo, pero no apacentáis el rebaño.

4No fortalecisteis a las ovejas débiles, no curasteis a las enfermas, no vendasteis a las perniquebradas, no condujisteis al redil a las descarriadas, no fuisteis en busca de las perdidas, sino que las dominabais con violencia y crueldad;

5de modo que se dispersaron por falta de pastor; vinieron a ser presa de todas las fieras del campo y se perdieron.

6Mis ovejas andan errantes por todas las montañas y por todas las altas colinas. Por toda la faz de la tierra se dispersaron mis ovejas, y no hay quien las busque ni quien se preocupe de ellas.

7Por eso, oíd, oh pastores, la palabra de Yahvé:

8Por mi vida, dice Yahvé, el Señor, que por cuanto mi grey ha sido depredada, y mis ovejas han sido presa de todas las fieras del campo, por falta de pastor; pues mis pastores no cuidaban de mis ovejas, sino que los pastores se apacentaban a sí mismos y no apacentaban a mi grey,

9por lo tanto, oíd, oh pastores, la palabra de Yahvé.

10Así dice Yahvé, el Señor: Heme aquí contra los pastores; demandaré mis ovejas de su mano y no permitiré que apacienten mi grey; ni tampoco se apacentarán en adelante los pastores a sí mismos; puesto que Yo libraré mis ovejas de su boca, y no les servirán ya de pasto.

11Porque así dice Yahvé, el Señor: He aquí que Yo mismo iré en pos de mis ovejas, y las revistaré.

12Como el pastor revista a su grey al encontrarse con sus ovejas descarriadas, así revistaré Yo mis ovejas y las recogeré de todos los lugares por donde se dispersaron en día de nublado y tinieblas.

13Las sacaré de entre los pueblos, las recogeré de los países, las llevaré a su tierra y las apacentaré sobre los montes de Israel, junto a los arroyos, y en todas las regiones habitadas del país.

14En pastos buenos las apacentaré, y sobre las elevadas montañas de Israel estará su redil; allí tendrán cómoda majada, y en medio de pingües pastos pacerán sobre los montes de Israel.

15Yo mismo pastorearé mis ovejas, y Yo mismo las llevaré a la majada —oráculo de Yahvé, el Señor.

16Buscaré las perdidas, traeré las descarriadas, vendaré las perniquebradas y fortaleceré las enfermas; mas a las gordas y fuertes las destruiré. Las apacentaré con justicia.

17A vosotras, ovejas mías, así dice Yahvé, el Señor: He aquí que Yo juzgaré entre ovejas y ovejas, entre carneros y machos cabríos.

18¿Por ventura no os bastaba comer los pastos buenos, ya que pisoteabais con vuestros pies lo que sobraba de vuestro pasto? ¿Ni os bastaba beber el agua limpia, ya que enturbiabais con vuestros pies la que quedaba?

19De modo que mis ovejas tenían que comer lo que vosotros habíais hollado con vuestros pies, y beber lo que con vuestros pies habíais enturbiado.

20Por tanto, así les dice Yahvé, el Señor: He aquí que Yo mismo juzgaré entre las ovejas gordas y las ovejas flacas.

21Porque atropellabais con el flanco a todas las débiles y las acorneabais con vuestros cuernos hasta echarlas a otros lugares.

22Por eso Yo salvaré mi grey, para que no sirva más de presa; así juzgaré entre oveja y oveja.

23Y suscitaré sobre ellas un solo pastor que las pastoree, mi siervo David; él las apacentará y él será su pastor.

24Yo, Yahvé, seré su Dios, y mi siervo David será príncipe en medio de ellas. Yo, Yahvé, he hablado.

25Haré con ellas una alianza de paz, y exterminaré de la tierra las bestias feroces, y habitarán con seguridad en regiones desiertas y dormirán en los bosques.

26Y haré de ellos y de los alrededores de mi monte una bendición, y enviaré a su tiempo las lluvias, lluvias de bendición.

27Los árboles del campo darán su fruto y la tierra dará sus productos, y vivirán en paz en su tierra; y conocerán que Yo soy Yahvé, cuando rompa las coyundas de su yugo, y los salve del poder de los que los tratan como esclavos.

28Y no serán más presa de las naciones, ni los devorarán las bestias de la tierra, sino que habitarán con seguridad, y no habrá quien los espante.

29Y les haré brotar una vegetación magnífica; ya no serán más consumidos por el hambre en el país, ni expuestos al oprobio de las naciones.

30Y conocerán que Yo, Yahvé, su Dios, estoy con ellos, y que ellos, la casa de Israel, son mi pueblo —oráculo de Yahvé, el Señor.

31Vosotros, los hombres, sois mis ovejas, las ovejas de mi grey, y Yo soy vuestro Dios, dice Yahvé, el Señor.”

1Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:

2Fili hominis, propheta de pastoribus Israël: propheta, et dices pastoribus: [Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Væ pastoribus Israël, qui pascebant semetipsos ! nonne greges a pastoribus pascuntur?

3Lac comedebatis, et lanis operiebamini, et quod crassum erat occidebatis: gregem autem meum non pascebatis.

4Quod infirmum fuit non consolidastis, et quod ægrotum non sanastis: quod confractum est non alligastis, et quod abjectum est non reduxistis, et quod perierat non quæsistis: sed cum austeritate imperabatis eis, et cum potentia.

5Et dispersæ sunt oves meæ, eo quod non esset pastor: et factæ sunt in devorationem omnium bestiarum agri, et dispersæ sunt.

6Erraverunt greges mei in cunctis montibus, et in universo colle excelso: et super omnem faciem terræ dispersi sunt greges mei, et non erat qui requireret: non erat, inquam, qui requireret.

7Propterea, pastores, audite verbum Domini.

8Vivo ego, dicit Dominus Deus, quia pro eo quod facti sunt greges mei in rapinam, et oves meæ in devorationem omnium bestiarum agri, eo quod non esset pastor: neque enim quæsierunt pastores mei gregem meum, sed pascebant pastores semetipsos, et greges meos non pascebant:

9propterea, pastores, audite verbum Domini.

10Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego ipse super pastores: requiram gregem meum de manu eorum, et cessare faciam eos, ut ultra non pascant gregem, nec pascant amplius pastores semetipsos: et liberabo gregem meum de ore eorum, et non erit ultra eis in escam.]

11[Quia hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego ipse requiram oves meas, et visitabo eas.

12Sicut visitat pastor gregem suum, in die quando fuerit in medio ovium suarum dissipatarum, sic visitabo oves meas, et liberabo eas de omnibus locis in quibus dispersæ fuerant in die nubis et caliginis.

13Et educam eas de populis, et congregabo eas de terris, et inducam eas in terram suam, et pascam eas in montibus Israël, in rivis, et in cunctis sedibus terræ.

14In pascuis uberrimis pascam eas, et in montibus excelsis Israël erunt pascua earum: ibi requiescent in herbis virentibus, et in pascuis pinguibus pascentur super montes Israël.

15Ego pascam oves meas, et ego eas accubare faciam, dicit Dominus Deus.

16Quod perierat requiram, et quod abjectum erat reducam, et quod confractum fuerat alligabo, et quod infirmum fuerat consolidabo, et quod pingue et forte custodiam: et pascam illas in judicio.

17Vos autem, greges mei, hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego judico inter pecus et pecus, arietum et hircorum.

18Nonne satis vobis erat pascua bona depasci? insuper et reliquias pascuarum vestrarum conculcastis pedibus vestris: et cum purissimam aquam biberetis, reliquam pedibus vestris turbabatis:

19et oves meæ his quæ conculcata pedibus vestris fuerant, pascebantur: et quæ pedes vestri turbaverant, hæc bibebant.

20Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus ad vos: Ecce ego ipse judico inter pecus pingue et macilentum:

21pro eo quod lateribus et humeris impingebatis, et cornibus vestris ventilabatis omnia infirma pecora, donec dispergerentur foras,

22salvabo gregem meum, et non erit ultra in rapinam, et judicabo inter pecus et pecus.]

23[Et suscitabo super eas pastorem unum qui pascat eas, servum meum David: ipse pascet eas, et ipse erit eis in pastorem.

24Ego autem Dominus ero eis in Deum, et servus meus David princeps in medio eorum: ego Dominus locutus sum.

25Et faciam cum eis pactum pacis, et cessare faciam bestias pessimas de terra: et qui habitant in deserto, securi dormient in saltibus.

26Et ponam eos in circuitu collis mei benedictionem, et deducam imbrem in tempore suo: pluviæ benedictionis erunt.

27Et dabit lignum agri fructum suum, et terra dabit germen suum, et erunt in terra sua absque timore: et scient quia ego Dominus, cum contrivero catenas jugi eorum, et eruero eos de manu imperantium sibi.

28Et non erunt ultra in rapinam in gentibus, neque bestiæ terræ devorabunt eos: sed habitabunt confidenter absque ullo terrore.

29Et suscitabo eis germen nominatum, et non erunt ultra imminuti fame in terra, neque portabunt ultra opprobrium gentium.

30Et scient quia ego Dominus Deus eorum cum eis, et ipsi populus meus domus Israël, ait Dominus Deus.

31Vos autem, greges mei, greges pascuæ meæ, homines estis: et ego Dominus Deus vester, dicit Dominus Deus.]

1And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

2Son of man, prophesy concerning the shepherds of Israel: prophesy, and say to the shepherds: Thus saith the Lord God: Woe to the shepherds of Israel, that fed themselves: should not the hocks be fed by the shepherds?

3You ate the milk, and you clothed yourselves with the wool, and you killed that which was fat: but my flock you did not feed.

4The weak you have not strengthened, and that which was sick you have not healed, that which was broken you have not bound up, and that which was driven away you have not brought again, neither have you sought that which was lost: but you ruled over them with rigour, and with a high hand.

5And my sheep were scattered, because there was no shepherd: and they became the prey of all the beasts of the field, and were scattered.

6My sheep have wandered in every mountain, and in every high hill: and my flocks mere scattered upon the face of the earth, and there was none that sought them, there was none, I say, that sought them.

7Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the Lord:

8As I live, saith the Lord God, forasmuch as my flocks have been made a spoil, and my sheep are become a prey to all the beasts of the field, because there was no shepherd: for my shepherds did not seek after my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flocks:

9Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the Lord:

10Thus saith the Lord God: Behold I myself come upon the shepherds, I will require my hock at their hand, and I will cause them to cease from feeding the flock any more, neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more: and I will deliver my flock from their mouth, and it shall no more be meat for them.

11For thus saith the Lord God: Behold I myself will seek my sheep, and will visit them.

12As the shepherd visiteth his hock in the day when he shall be in the midst of his sheep that were scattered, so will I visit my sheep, and will deliver them out of all the places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.

13And I will bring them out from the peoples, and will gather them out of the countries, and will bring them to their own land: and I will feed them in the mountains of Israel, by the rivers, and in all the habitations of the land.

14I will feed them in the most fruitful pastures, and their pastures shall be in the high mountains of Israel: there shall they rest on the green grass, and be fed in fat pastures upon the mountains of Israel.

15I will feed my sheep: and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord God.

16I will seek that which was lost: and that which was driven away, I will bring again: and I will bind up that which was broken, and I will strengthen that which was weak, and that which was fat and strong I will preserve: and I will feed them in judgment.

17And as for you, O my flocks, thus saith the Lord God: Behold I judge between cattle and cattle, of rams and of he goats.

18Was it not enough for you to feed upon good pastures? but you must also tread down with your feet the residue of your pastures: and when you drank the dearest water, you troubled the rest with your feet.

19And my sheep were fed with that which you had trodden with your feet: and they drank what your feet had troubled.

20Therefore thus saith the Lord God to you: Behold, I myself will judge between the fat cattle and the lean.

21Because you thrusted with sides and shoulders, and struck all the weak cattle with your horns, till they were scattered abroad:

22I will save my dock, and it shall be no more a spoil, and I will judge between cattle and cattle.

23AND 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.

24And I the Lord will be their God: and my servant David the prince in the midst of them: I the Lord have spoken it.

25And I will make a covenant of peace with them, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they that dwell in the wilderness shall sleep secure in the forests.

26And I will make them a blessing round about my hill: and I will send down the rain in its season, there shall be showers of blessing.

27And the tree of the field shall yield its fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase, and they shall be in their land without fear: and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have broken the bonds of their yoke, and shall have delivered them out of the hand of those that rule over them.

28And they shall be no more for a spoil to the nations, neither shall the beasts of the earth devour them: but they shall dwell securely without any terror.

29And I will raise up for them a bud of renown: and they shall be no more consumed with famine in the land, neither shall they bear any more the reproach of the Gentiles.

30And they shall know that I the Lord their God am with them, and that they are my people the house of Israel: saith the Lord God.

31And you my flocks, the flocks of my pasture are men: and I am the Lord your God, saith the Lord God.
