Liberación de Israel

27 En ese día el Señor castigará
con su espada terrible, inmensa, poderosa,
a Leviatán, la serpiente enroscada,
a Leviatán, la serpiente tortuosa,
y matará al dragón que está en el mar.

En ese día el Señor dirá:
«Canten al viñedo delicioso.
Yo, el Señor, soy quien lo cuido
y con frecuencia lo riego.
Lo cuido día y noche,
para que no sufra ningún daño.
No estoy enojado con él.
Si tuviera espinos y maleza,
saldría a hacerles la guerra
y los quemaría por completo.
Si quiere que yo lo proteja,
que haga las paces conmigo,
sí, que haga las paces conmigo.»

En el futuro el pueblo de Jacob echará raíces,
Israel retoñará y florecerá,
y llenará el mundo con sus frutos.
Dios no ha castigado a Israel
como castigó a sus opresores,
ni ha dado muerte a Israel
como dio muerte a sus asesinos.
Dios castigó a su pueblo mandándolo al destierro,
lo expulsó con su soplo terrible,
como cuando sopla el viento del este.
Pero perdonará el pecado de Jacob
y bajo esta condición borrará sus faltas:
que haga polvo todos sus altares paganos
como si triturara la piedra de cal,
y que no queden más troncos sagrados
ni altares de incienso en honor de los dioses.

10 La ciudad fortificada quedó en ruinas,
como casa abandonada,
como desierto sin gente.
Es un lugar donde pasta el ganado,
donde come las ramas y se echa a descansar.
11 Las ramas de un árbol se quiebran cuando se secan;
entonces las mujeres las recogen y hacen fuego con ellas.
Es un pueblo sin inteligencia.
Por eso su Creador, el que lo hizo,
no le tendrá compasión ni misericordia.

12 En ese día el Señor actuará
desde el Éufrates hasta el río de Egipto,
como quien trilla las espigas;
pero ustedes, israelitas, serán recogidos uno por uno.
13 En ese día se tocará la gran trompeta,
y los que estaban perdidos en Asiria,
lo mismo que los que estaban desterrados en Egipto,
vendrán a adorar al Señor
en Jerusalén, en el monte santo.

Deliverance of Israel

27 In that day,(A)

the Lord will punish with his sword(B)
    his fierce, great and powerful sword—
Leviathan(C) the gliding serpent,(D)
    Leviathan the coiling serpent;
he will slay the monster(E) of the sea.

In that day(F)

“Sing(G) about a fruitful vineyard:(H)
    I, the Lord, watch over it;
    I water(I) it continually.
I guard(J) it day and night
    so that no one may harm(K) it.
    I am not angry.
If only there were briers and thorns confronting me!
    I would march against them in battle;
    I would set them all on fire.(L)
Or else let them come to me for refuge;(M)
    let them make peace(N) with me,
    yes, let them make peace with me.”

In days to come Jacob will take root,(O)
    Israel will bud and blossom(P)
    and fill all the world with fruit.(Q)

Has the Lord struck her
    as he struck(R) down those who struck her?
Has she been killed
    as those were killed who killed her?
By warfare[a] and exile(S) you contend with her—
    with his fierce blast he drives her out,
    as on a day the east wind(T) blows.
By this, then, will Jacob’s guilt be atoned(U) for,
    and this will be the full fruit of the removal of his sin:(V)
When he makes all the altar stones(W)
    to be like limestone crushed to pieces,
no Asherah poles[b](X) or incense altars(Y)
    will be left standing.
10 The fortified city stands desolate,(Z)
    an abandoned settlement, forsaken(AA) like the wilderness;
there the calves graze,(AB)
    there they lie down;(AC)
    they strip its branches bare.
11 When its twigs are dry, they are broken off(AD)
    and women come and make fires(AE) with them.
For this is a people without understanding;(AF)
    so their Maker has no compassion on them,
    and their Creator(AG) shows them no favor.(AH)

12 In that day the Lord will thresh(AI) from the flowing Euphrates to the Wadi of Egypt,(AJ) and you, Israel, will be gathered(AK) up one by one. 13 And in that day(AL) a great trumpet(AM) will sound. Those who were perishing in Assyria and those who were exiled(AN) in Egypt(AO) will come and worship(AP) the Lord on the holy mountain(AQ) in Jerusalem.

27 In that day the Lord with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.

In that day sing ye unto her, A vineyard of red wine.

I the Lord do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day.

Fury is not in me: who would set the briers and thorns against me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together.

Or let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; and he shall make peace with me.

He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root: Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit.

Hath he smitten him, as he smote those that smote him? or is he slain according to the slaughter of them that are slain by him?

In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with it: he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind.

By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this is all the fruit to take away his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, the groves and images shall not stand up.

10 Yet the defenced city shall be desolate, and the habitation forsaken, and left like a wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof.

11 When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off: the women come, and set them on fire: for it is a people of no understanding: therefore he that made them will not have mercy on them, and he that formed them will shew them no favour.

12 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall beat off from the channel of the river unto the stream of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel.

13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the Lord in the holy mount at Jerusalem.
