Ezekiel 34

1 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.

Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

2 O son of humankind prophesy on [the] shepherds of Israel prophesy and you will say to them to the shepherds thus he says - [the] Lord Yahweh woe to! [the] shepherds of Israel who they have been shepherding themselves ¿ not the flock will they shepherd the shepherds.

“Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel. Prophesy and say to them, 'The Lord Yahweh says this to the shepherds: Woe to the shepherds of Israel who are shepherding themselves. Should not shepherds guard the flock?

3 The fat you eat and the wool you clothe yourselves the fat [sheep] you slaughter the flock not you shepherd.

You eat the fatty portions and you dress in wool. You slaughter the fatlings of the flock. You do not shepherd at all.

4 The weak [ones] not you have strengthened and the sick [one] not you have healed and the broken [one] not you have bound up and the strayed [one] not you have brought back and the lost [one] not you have sought and with force you have ruled them and with harshness.

You have not strengthened those who have diseases, nor do you heal the ones who are ill. You do not bind up the ones who are broken, and you do not restore the outcasts or seek the lost. Instead, you rule over them through strength and violence.

5 And they have been scattered because not a shepherd and they have become food for every animal of the field and they have been scattered.

Then they were scattered without a shepherd, and they became food for all the living beasts in the fields, after they were scattered.

6 They wander flock my on all the mountains and on every hill high and over all [the] surface of the earth they have been scattered flock my and there not [is one who] searches and there not [is one who] seeks.

My flock strays on all of the mountains and on every high hill, and it is dispersed over the entire surface of the earth. Yet no one is searching for them.

7 Therefore O shepherds hear [the] word of Yahweh.

Therefore, shepherds, hear the word of Yahweh:

8 [by] [the] life Of me [the] utterance of - [the] Lord Yahweh if not because has become flock my - prey and they have become flock my food for every animal of the field from not shepherd and not they have searched for shepherds my flock my and they have shepherded the shepherds themselves and flock my not they have shepherded.

As I live—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—because my flock has become plunder and food for all the beasts in the fields, because there was no shepherd and none of my shepherds sought my flock, but the shepherds guarded themselves and did not shepherd my flock.

9 Therefore O shepherds hear [the] word of Yahweh.

Therefore, shepherds, hear the word of Yahweh:

10 Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh here I [am] against the shepherds and I will seek flock my from hand their and I will cause to cease them from shepherding a flock and not they will shepherd again the shepherds themselves and I will deliver flock my from mouth their and not they will become for them food.

The Lord Yahweh says this: Behold! I am against the shepherds, and I will require my flock from their hand. Then I will dismiss them from shepherding the flock; neither will the shepherds any longer shepherd themselves since I will take away my flock from their mouths, so that my flock will no longer be food for them.

11 For thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh here [am] I I and I will search for flock my and I will seek them.

For the Lord Yahweh says this: Behold! I myself will seek out my flock and I will look after them,

12 Like [the] seeking of a shepherd flock his on [the] day is he in among flock his separated so I will seek flock my and I will deliver them from all the places where they were scattered there on a day of cloud and thick darkness.

like a shepherd seeking his flock on the day he is within the midst of his scattered flock. Thus I will seek my flock, and I will rescue them from all the places where they were scattered on the day of clouds and darkness.

13 And I will bring out them from the peoples and I will gather them from the lands and I will bring them to own land their and I will shepherd them to [the] mountains of Israel in the ravines and in all [the] habitable places of the land.

Then I will bring them out from among the peoples; I will gather them from the lands and bring them to their land. I will put them in pastures on the mountainsides of Israel, by the streams, and in every settlement in the land.

14 In pasture good I will shepherd them and on [the] mountains of [the] height of Israel it will be pastureland their there they will lie down in pastureland good and pasture rich they will graze to [the] mountains of Israel.

I will put them in good pastures; the high mountains of Israel will be their grazing places. They will lie down there in good places for grazing, in abundant pastures, and they will graze on the mountains of Israel.

15 I I will shepherd flock my and I I will make lie down them [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.

I myself will shepherd my flock, and I myself will make them lie down—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—

16 The lost [one] I will seek and the strayed [one] I will bring back and the broken [one] I will bind up and the sick [one] I will make strong and the fat [one] and the strong [one] I will destroy I will shepherd it with justice.

I will seek the lost and restore the outcast. I will bind up the broken sheep and heal the sick sheep but the fat and the strong I will destroy. I will shepherd with justice.

17 And you O flock my thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh here I [am] about to judge between a sheep and a sheep and rams and male goats.

So now you, my flock—this is what the Lord Yahweh says—behold, I will be a judge between sheep and sheep and between rams and male goats.

18 ¿ [too] little For you [is] the pasture good [which] you are grazing and [the] rest of pasture your you are trampling with feet your and clearness of waters [which] you are drinking and those [which] are left with feet your you are fouling!

Is it not enough to feed on the good pasture, that you must trample down with your feet what is left of the pasture; and to drink from clear waters, that you must muddy the rivers with your feet?

19 And flock my [the] trampling place of feet your they will graze and [the] befouled thing of feet your they will drink.

Must my sheep eat what you have trampled with your feet, and drink what you have muddied with your feet?

20 Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh to them here [am] I I and I will judge between a sheep fat and between a sheep lean.

Therefore the Lord Yahweh says this to them: Behold! I myself will judge between the fat sheep and the thin ones,

21 Because with side and with shoulder you push and with horns your you thrust at all the weak [ones] until that you have scattered them to the outside.

for you have pushed them with your sides and shoulders, and you have gored all of the weak ones with your horns until you have scattered them away from the land.

22 And I will save flock my and not they will become again prey and I will judge between a sheep and a sheep.

I will save my flock and they will no longer be plunder, and I will judge between one sheep and another!

23 And I will raise up over them a shepherd one and he will shepherd them servant my David he he will shepherd them and he he will become for them a shepherd.

I will set over them one shepherd, my servant David. He will shepherd them, he will feed them, and he will be their shepherd.

24 And I Yahweh I will become for them God and servant my David [will be] prince in midst of them I Yahweh I have spoken.

For I, Yahweh, will be their God, and my servant David will be a prince among them—I, Yahweh, have declared this.

25 And I will make to them a covenant of peace and I will cause to cease animal[s] wild from the land and they will dwell in the wilderness to security and they will sleep in the forests.

Then I will make a covenant of peace with them and remove the evil wild animals from the land, so that they will live securely in the wilderness and safely sleep in the forests.

26 And I will make them and around hill my a blessing and I will bring down the rain at appropriate time its rains of blessing they will be.

I will also bring blessings on them and on the places around my hill, for I will send out showers in due season. These will be showers of blessing.

27 And it will give [the] tree[s] of the field fruit its and the land it will give produce its and they will be on own land their to security and they will know that I [am] Yahweh when break I [the] bars of yoke their and I will deliver them from [the] hand of those [who] labored by them.

Then the trees of the field will produce their fruit, and the earth will yield its produce. My sheep will be secure in their land; then they will know that I am Yahweh, when I break the bars of their yoke, and when I rescue them from the hand of those who enslaved them.

28 And not they will be again spoil for the nations and [the] animal[s] of the land not it will devour them and they will dwell to security and there not [will be one who] terrifies.

They will no longer be plunder for the nations, and the wild animals on the earth will no longer devour them. For they will live securely, and no one will frighten them.

29 And I will establish for them a planting place for name and not they will be again [those] gathered of famine in the land and not they will bear again [the] insult of the nations.

For I will provide them a land known for its crops; so they will not be victims of famine in the land, and they will not bear the scorn of the nations.

30 And they will know that I Yahweh God their [am] with them and they [are] people my [the] house of Israel [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.

Then they will know that I, Yahweh their God, am with them. They are my people, the house of Israel—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.

31 And you [are] flock my [the] flock of pasture my human[s] you I [am] God your [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.

For you are my sheep, the flock of my pasture, and my people, and I am your God—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.'”
