Ezekiel 34

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	NOVA VULGATA
1 Thus the word of the LORD came to me:	1 Et factum est verbum Do mini ad me dicens:
2 Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, in these words prophesy to them (to the shepherds): Thus says the Lord GOD: Woe to the shepherds of Israel who have been pasturing themselves! Should not shepherds, rather, pasture sheep?	2 “ Fili ho minis, prophetade pastoribus Israel, propheta et dices pastoribus: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Vaepastoribus Israel, qui pascebant semetipsos! Nonne greges pascuntur apastoribus?
3 You have fed off their milk, worn their wool, and slaughtered the fatlings, but the sheep you have not pastured.	3 Lac comedebatis et lana operiebamini et, quod crassum erat,occidebatis, gregem autem non pascebatis;
4 You did not strengthen the weak nor heal the sick nor bind up the injured. You did not bring back the strayed nor seek the lost, but you lorded it over them harshly and brutally.	4 quod infirmum fuit, nonconsolidastis et, quod aegrotum, non sanastis; quod fractum est, non alligastiset, quod eiectum est, non reduxistis et, quod perierat, non quaesistis et superforte imperabatis cum violentia.
5 So they were scattered for lack of a shepherd, and became food for all the wild beasts. My sheep were scattered	5 Et dispersae sunt oves meae, eo quod nonesset pastor; et factae sunt in devorationem omnium bestiarum agri et dispersaesunt.
6 and wandered over all the mountains and high hills; my sheep were scattered over the whole earth, with no one to look after them or to search for them.	6 Erraverunt greges mei in cunctis montibus et in universo colle excelso,et super omnem faciem terrae dispersi sunt greges mei; et non erat quirequireret, non erat qui requireret.
7 Therefore, shepherds, hear the word of the LORD:	7 Propterea, pastores, audite verbum Domini:
8 As I live, says the Lord GOD, because my sheep have been given over to pillage, and because my sheep have become food for every wild beast, for lack of a shepherd; because my shepherds did not look after my sheep, but pastured themselves and did not pasture my sheep;	8 Vivo ego, dicit Dominus Deus, proeo quod factus est grex meus in rapinam et oves meae in devorationem omniumbestiarum agri, eo quod non esset pastor, neque enim quaesierunt pastores meigregem meum, sed pascebant pastores semetipsos et gregem meum non pascebant,
9 because of this, shepherds, hear the word of the LORD:	9 propterea, pastores, audite verbum Domini.
10 Thus says the Lord GOD: I swear I am coming against these shepherds. I will claim my sheep from them and put a stop to their shepherding my sheep so that they may no longer pasture themselves. I will save my sheep, that they may no longer be food for their mouths.	10 Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce egoipse super pastores requiram gregem meum de manu eorum et cessare eos faciam, utultra non pascant gregem nec pascant amplius pastores semetipsos; et liberabogregem meum de ore eorum, et non erit ultra eis in escam.
11 For thus says the Lord GOD: I myself will look after and tend my sheep.	11 Quia haec dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego ipse requiram oves meas et visitaboeas.
12 As a shepherd tends his flock when he finds himself among his scattered sheep, so will I tend my sheep. I will rescue them from every place where they were scattered when it was cloudy and dark.	12 Sicut visitat pastor gregem suum in die, quando fuerit in medio oviumsuarum dissipatarum, sic visitabo oves meas et liberabo eas de omnibus locis, inquibus dispersae fuerant in die nubis et caliginis.
13 I will lead them out from among the peoples and gather them from the foreign lands; I will bring them back to their own country and pasture them upon the mountains of Israel (in the land's ravines and all its inhabited places).	13 Et educam eas de populiset congregabo eas de terris et inducam eas in terram suam et pascam eas inmontibus Israel, in rivis et in cunctis sedibus terrae.
14 In good pastures will I pasture them, and on the mountain heights of Israel shall be their grazing ground. There they shall lie down on good grazing ground, and in rich pastures shall they be pastured on the mountains of Israel.	14 In pascuis uberrimispascam eas, et in montibus excelsis Israel erunt pascua earum; ibi requiescentin herbis virentibus et in pascuis pinguibus pascentur super montes Israel.
15 I myself will pasture my sheep; I myself will give them rest, says the Lord GOD.	15 Ego pascam oves meas et ego eas accubare faciam, dicit Dominus Deus.
16 The lost I will seek out, the strayed I will bring back, the injured I will bind up, the sick I will heal (but the sleek and the strong I will destroy), shepherding them rightly.	16 Quodperierat, requiram et, quod eiectum erat, reducam et, quod confractum fuerat,alligabo et, quod infirmum erat, consolidabo et, quod pingue et forte, custodiamet pascam illas in iudicio.
17 As for you, my sheep, says the Lord GOD, I will judge between one sheep and another, between rams and goats.	17 Vos autem, grex meus, haec dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego iudico inter pecus etpecus, inter arietes et hircos.
18 Was it not enough for you to graze on the best pasture, that you had to trample the rest of your pastures with your feet? Was it not enough for you to drink the clearest water, that you had to foul the remainder with your feet?	18 Nonne satis vobis erat pascuam bonam depasci?Insuper et reliquias pascuarum vestrarum conculcastis pedibus vestris et, cumpurissimam aquam biberetis, reliquam pedibus vestris turbabatis;
19 Thus my sheep had to graze on what your feet had trampled and drink what your feet had fouled.	19 et oves meaehis, quae conculcata pedibus vestris fuerant, pascebantur et, quae pedes vestriturbaverant, haec bibebant.
20 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Now will I judge between the fat and the lean sheep.	20 Propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus ad eos: Ecce ego ipse iudico inter pecuspingue et macilentum;
21 Because you push with side and shoulder, and butt all the weak sheep with your horns until you have driven them out,	21 pro eo quod lateribus et umeris impingebatis etcornibus vestris ventilabatis omnia infirma pecora, donec dispergerentur foras,
22 I will save my sheep so that they may no longer be despoiled, and I will judge between one sheep and another.	22 salvabo gregem meum, et non erit ultra in rapinam, et iudicabo inter pecus etpecus.
23 I will appoint one shepherd over them to pasture them, my servant David; he shall pasture them and be their shepherd.	23 Et suscitabo super eas pastorem unum, qui pascat eas, servum meumDavid; ipse pascet eas et ipse erit eis in pastorem.
24 I, the LORD, will be their God, and my servant David shall be prince among them. I, the LORD, have spoken.	24 Ego autem Dominus eroeis in Deum, et servus meus David princeps in medio eorum. Ego Dominus locutussum.
25 I will make a covenant of peace with them, and rid the country of ravenous beasts, that they may dwell securely in the desert and sleep in the forests.	25 Et faciam cum eis pactum pacis et cessare faciam bestias pessimas deterra, et habitabunt in deserto securi et dormient in saltibus;
26 I will place them about my hill, sending rain in due season, rains that shall be a blessing to them.	26 et ponam eoset, quae sunt in circuitu collis mei, benedictionem et deducam imbrem in temporesuo: pluviae benedictionis erunt.
27 The trees of the field shall bear their fruits, and the land its crops, and they shall dwell securely on their own soil. Thus they shall know that I am the LORD when I break the bonds of their yoke and free them from the power of those who enslaved them.	27 Et dabit lignum agri fructum suum, et terradabit germen suum, et erunt in terra sua absque timore et scient quia egoDominus, cum contrivero vectes iugi eorum et eruero eos de manu imperantiumsibi.
28 They shall no longer be despoiled by the nations or devoured by beasts of the earth, but shall dwell secure, with no one to frighten them.	28 Et non erunt ultra in rapinam gentibus, neque bestiae terrae devorabunteos, sed habitabunt confidenter absque ullo terrore.
29 I will prepare for them peaceful fields for planting; they shall no longer be carried off by famine in the land, or bear the reproaches of the nations.	29 Et suscitabo eis germennominatum, et non erunt ultra imminuti fame in terra neque portabunt ultraopprobrium gentium;
30 Thus they shall know that I, the LORD, am their God, and they are my people, the house of Israel, says the Lord GOD.	30 et scient quia ego Dominus Deus eorum cum eis, et ipsipopulus meus domus Israel, ait Dominus Deus.
31 (You, my sheep, you are the sheep of my pasture, and I am your God, says the Lord GOD.)	31 Vos autem grex meus, grexpascuae meae vos, et ego Dominus Deus vester ”, dicit Dominus Deus.
