Parábola de la viña
5 Cantaré ahora a mi amado,
el canto de mi amado acerca de su viña.
Mi bien amado tenía una viña en una fértil colina[a](A).
2 La cavó por todas partes, quitó sus piedras,
y la plantó de vides escogidas[b](B).
Edificó una torre en medio de ella,
y también excavó en ella un lagar[c];
y esperaba que produjera uvas buenas,
pero solo produjo uvas silvestres[d](C).
3 Y ahora, moradores de Jerusalén y hombres de Judá,
juzgad entre mí y mi viña(D).
4 ¿Qué más se puede hacer por mi viña,
que[e] yo no haya hecho en ella(E)?
¿Por qué, cuando esperaba que produjera uvas buenas,
produjo uvas silvestres[f]?
5 Ahora pues, dejad que os diga
lo que yo he de hacer a mi viña:
quitaré su vallado(F) y será consumida;
derribaré su muro(G) y será hollada(H).
6 Y haré que quede desolada(I);
no será podada ni labrada,
y crecerán zarzas y espinos.
También mandaré a las nubes que no derramen[g] lluvia sobre ella(J).
7 Ciertamente, la viña del Señor de los ejércitos es la casa de Israel,
y los hombres de Judá su plantío delicioso(K).
Él esperaba equidad, pero he aquí derramamiento de sangre(L);
justicia, pero he aquí clamor.
Ayes contra los impíos
8 ¡Ay de los que juntáis casa con casa,
y añadís campo a campo
hasta que no queda sitio alguno,
para habitar vosotros solos en medio de la tierra(M)!
9 A mis oídos el Señor de los ejércitos ha jurado:
Ciertamente muchas casas(N) serán desoladas(O),
grandes y hermosas, pero sin moradores.
10 Porque diez yugadas de viña producirán solo un bato[h] de vino(P),
y un homer[i] de semilla producirá solo un efa[j] de grano(Q).
11 ¡Ay de los que se levantan muy de mañana para ir tras la bebida(R),
de los que trasnochan para que el vino los encienda!
12 En sus banquetes hay lira y arpa, pandero y flauta, y vino(S),
y no contemplan las obras del Señor,
ni ven la obra de sus manos(T).
13 Por eso va cautivo mi pueblo por falta de discernimiento(U);
sus notables están muertos de hambre[k](V)
y su multitud reseca de sed.
14 Por tanto el Seol[l] ha ensanchado su garganta[m](W) y ha abierto sin medida su boca;
y a él desciende el esplendor de Jerusalén[n], su multitud, su alboroto y el que se divertía en ella.
15 El hombre común será humillado y el hombre de importancia abatido,
y los ojos de los altivos serán abatidos(X).
16 Pero el Señor de los ejércitos(Y) será exaltado por su juicio(Z),
y el Dios santo se mostrará santo por su justicia(AA).
17 Entonces pacerán los corderos como en su pastizal(AB),
y en los lugares desolados de los ricos[o], forasteros comerán.
18 ¡Ay de los que arrastran la iniquidad con cuerdas de falsedad[p]
y el pecado como con coyundas de carretas(AC)!
19 Los que dicen: Que se dé prisa, que apresure su obra, para que la veamos;
que se acerque y venga el propósito del Santo de Israel,
para que lo sepamos(AD).
20 ¡Ay de los que llaman al mal bien y al bien mal(AE),
que tienen[q] las tinieblas por luz y la luz por tinieblas(AF),
que tienen[r] lo amargo por dulce y lo dulce por amargo!
21 ¡Ay de los sabios a sus propios ojos
e inteligentes ante sí mismos(AG)!
22 ¡Ay de los héroes para beber vino
y valientes para mezclar bebidas(AH),
23 que justifican al impío por soborno(AI)
y quitan al justo su derecho[s](AJ)!
24 Por tanto, como consume el rastrojo la lengua de fuego(AK),
y la hierba seca cae ante la llama,
su raíz(AL) como podredumbre se volverá y su flor como polvo será esparcida[t](AM);
porque desecharon la ley del Señor de los ejércitos,
y despreciaron la palabra del Santo de Israel(AN).
25 Por esta causa se ha encendido la ira del Señor contra su pueblo(AO),
y ha extendido su mano contra ellos y los ha herido;
los montes temblaron(AP) y sus cadáveres yacen[u] como desecho en medio de las calles(AQ).
Con todo esto, no se ha agotado[v] su ira(AR),
y aún está extendida su mano(AS).
26 Alzará estandarte(AT) a la nación lejana[w],
y le silbará(AU) desde los confines de la tierra(AV),
y he aquí, vendrá muy pronto, con rapidez(AW).
27 En ella nadie está cansado ni nadie se tambalea(AX),
ninguno dormita ni duerme;
a ninguno se le ha desatado el cinturón de la cintura(AY),
ni se le ha roto la correa de su sandalia.
28 Sus flechas[x] están afiladas y todos sus arcos entesados(AZ);
los cascos de sus caballos son[y] como pedernal y las[z] ruedas de sus carros como torbellino(BA).
29 Su rugido es como de leona, ruge como leoncillos(BB);
gruñe y atrapa la presa(BC),
y se la lleva sin que nadie la libre(BD).
30 En aquel día gruñirá sobre ella como el bramido del mar(BE).
Si se mira hacia la tierra, he aquí, hay tinieblas y angustia;
aun la luz es oscurecida por sus nubes(BF).

Song of the Vineyard
5 I will sing about the one I love,
a song about my loved one’s vineyard:(A)
The one I love had a vineyard
on a very fertile hill.
2 He broke up the soil, cleared it of stones,
and planted it with the finest vines.(B)
He built a tower in the middle of it
and even dug out a winepress there.
He expected(C) it to yield good grapes,
but it yielded worthless grapes.(D)
3 So now, residents of Jerusalem
and men of Judah,
please judge between me
and my vineyard.
4 What more could I have done for my vineyard
than I did?(E)
Why, when I expected a yield of good grapes,
did it yield worthless grapes?
5 Now I will tell you
what I am about to do to my vineyard:
I will remove its hedge,(F)
and it will be consumed;
I will tear down its wall,(G)
and it will be trampled.
6 I will make it a wasteland.(H)
It will not be pruned or weeded;
thorns and briers will grow up.(I)
I will also give orders to the clouds
that rain should not fall on it.
7 For the vineyard of the Lord of Armies
is the house of Israel,(J)
and the men[a] of Judah,
the plant he delighted in.
He expected justice
but saw injustice;
he expected righteousness
but heard cries of despair.
Judah’s Sins Denounced
8 Woe to those who add house to house(K)
and join field to field
until there is no more room
and you alone are left in the land.
9 I heard the Lord of Armies say:
Indeed, many houses(L) will become desolate,
grand and lovely ones without inhabitants.
10 For a ten-acre[b] vineyard will yield
only six gallons of wine,[c]
and ten bushels[d] of seed will yield
only one bushel of grain.[e]
11 Woe to those who rise early in the morning
in pursuit of beer,(M)
who linger into the evening,
inflamed by wine.
12 At their feasts they have lyre, harp,
tambourine, flute, and wine.
They do not perceive the Lord’s actions,(N)
and they do not see the work of his hands.(O)
13 Therefore my people will go into exile
because they lack knowledge;(P)
her[f] dignitaries are starving,
and her masses are parched with thirst.
14 Therefore Sheol enlarges its throat
and opens wide its enormous jaws,(Q)
and down go Zion’s dignitaries, her masses,
her crowds, and those who celebrate in her!
15 Humanity is brought low, each person is humbled,
and haughty eyes are humbled.(R)
16 But the Lord of Armies is exalted by his justice,(S)
and the holy God(T) demonstrates his holiness through his righteousness.(U)
17 Lambs will graze
as if in[g] their own pastures,(V)
and resident aliens[h] will eat
among the ruins of the rich.
18 Woe to those who drag iniquity
with cords of deceit(W)
and pull sin along with cart ropes,
19 to those who say,
“Let him hurry up and do his work quickly
so that we can see it!
Let the plan(X) of the Holy One of Israel(Y) take place
so that we can know it!”
20 Woe to those who call evil good
and good evil,(Z)
who substitute darkness for light
and light for darkness,
who substitute bitter for sweet
and sweet for bitter.
21 Woe to those who consider themselves wise
and judge themselves clever.[i](AA)
22 Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine,
who are champions at pouring beer,(AB)
23 who acquit the guilty for a bribe(AC)
and deprive the innocent of justice.
24 Therefore, as a tongue of fire consumes straw
and as dry grass shrivels in the flame,
so their roots will become like something rotten
and their blossoms will blow away like dust,
for they have rejected(AD)
the instruction of the Lord of Armies,
and they have despised
the word of the Holy One of Israel.(AE)
25 Therefore the Lord’s anger burned(AF) against his people.
He raised his hand against them and struck them;
the mountains quaked,(AG)
and their corpses were like garbage in the streets.
In all this, his anger has not turned away,
and his hand is still raised to strike.(AH)
26 He raises a signal flag for the distant nations(AI)
and whistles(AJ) for them from the ends of the earth.
Look—how quickly and swiftly they come!
27 None of them grows weary or stumbles;(AK)
no one slumbers or sleeps.
No belt is loose
and no sandal strap broken.
28 Their arrows are sharpened,
and all their bows strung.
Their horses’ hooves are like flint;
their chariot wheels are like a whirlwind.
29 Their roaring is like a lion’s;(AL)
they roar like young lions;(AM)
they growl and seize their prey
and carry it off,
and no one can rescue it.
30 On that day they will roar over it,
like the roaring of the sea.
When one looks at the land,
there will be darkness and distress;
light will be obscured by clouds.[j]

The Song of the Vineyard
5 I will sing for the one I love
a song about his vineyard:(A)
My loved one had a vineyard
on a fertile hillside.
2 He dug it up and cleared it of stones
and planted it with the choicest vines.(B)
He built a watchtower(C) in it
and cut out a winepress(D) as well.
Then he looked for a crop of good grapes,
but it yielded only bad fruit.(E)
3 “Now you dwellers in Jerusalem and people of Judah,
judge between me and my vineyard.(F)
4 What more could have been done for my vineyard
than I have done for it?(G)
When I looked for good grapes,
why did it yield only bad?(H)
5 Now I will tell you
what I am going to do to my vineyard:
I will take away its hedge,
and it will be destroyed;(I)
I will break down its wall,(J)
and it will be trampled.(K)
6 I will make it a wasteland,(L)
neither pruned nor cultivated,
and briers and thorns(M) will grow there.
I will command the clouds
not to rain(N) on it.”
7 The vineyard(O) of the Lord Almighty
is the nation of Israel,
and the people of Judah
are the vines he delighted in.
And he looked for justice,(P) but saw bloodshed;
for righteousness,(Q) but heard cries of distress.(R)
Woes and Judgments
8 Woe(S) to you who add house to house
and join field to field(T)
till no space is left
and you live alone in the land.
9 The Lord Almighty(U) has declared in my hearing:(V)
“Surely the great houses will become desolate,(W)
the fine mansions left without occupants.
10 A ten-acre vineyard will produce only a bath[a] of wine;
a homer[b] of seed will yield only an ephah[c] of grain.”(X)
11 Woe(Y) to those who rise early in the morning
to run after their drinks,
who stay up late at night
till they are inflamed with wine.(Z)
12 They have harps and lyres at their banquets,
pipes(AA) and timbrels(AB) and wine,
but they have no regard(AC) for the deeds of the Lord,
no respect for the work of his hands.(AD)
13 Therefore my people will go into exile(AE)
for lack of understanding;(AF)
those of high rank(AG) will die of hunger
and the common people will be parched with thirst.(AH)
14 Therefore Death(AI) expands its jaws,
opening wide its mouth;(AJ)
into it will descend their nobles and masses
with all their brawlers and revelers.(AK)
15 So people will be brought low(AL)
and everyone humbled,(AM)
the eyes of the arrogant(AN) humbled.
16 But the Lord Almighty will be exalted(AO) by his justice,(AP)
and the holy God will be proved holy(AQ) by his righteous acts.
17 Then sheep will graze as in their own pasture;(AR)
lambs will feed[d] among the ruins of the rich.
18 Woe(AS) to those who draw sin along with cords(AT) of deceit,
and wickedness(AU) as with cart ropes,
19 to those who say, “Let God hurry;
let him hasten(AV) his work
so we may see it.
The plan of the Holy One(AW) of Israel—
let it approach, let it come into view,
so we may know it.”(AX)
20 Woe(AY) to those who call evil good(AZ)
and good evil,(BA)
who put darkness for light
and light for darkness,(BB)
who put bitter for sweet
and sweet for bitter.(BC)
21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes(BD)
and clever in their own sight.
22 Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine(BE)
and champions at mixing drinks,(BF)
23 who acquit the guilty for a bribe,(BG)
but deny justice(BH) to the innocent.(BI)
24 Therefore, as tongues of fire(BJ) lick up straw(BK)
and as dry grass sinks down in the flames,
so their roots will decay(BL)
and their flowers blow away like dust;(BM)
for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty
and spurned the word(BN) of the Holy One(BO) of Israel.
25 Therefore the Lord’s anger(BP) burns against his people;
his hand is raised and he strikes them down.
The mountains shake,(BQ)
and the dead bodies(BR) are like refuse(BS) in the streets.(BT)
26 He lifts up a banner(BW) for the distant nations,
he whistles(BX) for those at the ends of the earth.(BY)
Here they come,
swiftly and speedily!
27 Not one of them grows tired(BZ) or stumbles,
not one slumbers or sleeps;
not a belt(CA) is loosened at the waist,(CB)
not a sandal strap is broken.(CC)
28 Their arrows are sharp,(CD)
all their bows(CE) are strung;
their horses’ hooves(CF) seem like flint,
their chariot wheels like a whirlwind.(CG)
29 Their roar is like that of the lion,(CH)
they roar like young lions;
they growl as they seize(CI) their prey
and carry it off with no one to rescue.(CJ)
30 In that day(CK) they will roar over it
like the roaring of the sea.(CL)
And if one looks at the land,
there is only darkness(CM) and distress;(CN)
even the sun will be darkened(CO) by clouds.
