Leviathan Slain

27 On that day the Lord with his relentless, large, strong sword will bring judgement on Leviathan,(A) the fleeing serpent – Leviathan, the twisting serpent. He will slay the monster that is in the sea.(B)

The Lord’s Vineyard

On that day
sing about a desirable vineyard:(C)
I am the Lord, who watches over it
to water it regularly.
So that no one disturbs it,
I watch over it night and day.
I am not angry.
If only there were thorns and briars(D) for me to battle,
I would trample them
and burn them to the ground.
Or let it take hold of my strength;
let it make peace with me –
make peace with me.
In days to come, Jacob will take root.(E)
Israel will blossom and bloom(F)
and fill the whole world with fruit.

Did the Lord strike Israel
as he struck the one who struck Israel?(G)
Was Israel killed like those killed by the Lord?
You disputed with Israel
by banishing and driving her away.[a]
He removed her with his severe storm
on the day of the east wind.
Therefore Jacob’s iniquity(H) will be atoned for in this way,
and the result of the removal of his sin will be this:(I)
when he makes all the altar stones
like crushed bits of chalk,
no Asherah poles or incense altars will remain standing.
10 For the fortified city will be desolate,
pastures deserted and abandoned like a wilderness.
Calves will graze there,
and there they will spread out and strip its branches.
11 When its branches dry out, they will be broken off.
Women will come and make fires with them,
for they are not a people with understanding.(J)
Therefore their Maker(K) will not have compassion on them,
and their Creator will not be gracious to them.

12 On that day(L)
the Lord will thresh corn from the River Euphrates
as far as the Wadi of Egypt,(M)
and you Israelites will be gathered one by one.
13 On that day
a great ram’s horn(N) will be blown,
and those lost in the land of Assyria will come,
as well as those dispersed in the land of Egypt;
and they will worship the Lord
at Jerusalem on the holy mountain.

  1. 27:8 Hb obscure

Liberación de Israel

27 Aquel día el Señor castigará[a]
con su espada feroz(A), grande y poderosa,
a Leviatán[b], serpiente huidiza,
a Leviatán[c](B), serpiente tortuosa,
y matará al dragón que vive en el mar(C).

Aquel día se dirá:
Una viña de vino[d](D); de ella cantad.
Yo, el Señor, soy su guardador;
a cada momento la riego(E).
Para que nadie la dañe[e],
la guardo(F) noche y día.
No tengo furor.
Si alguien[f] me da zarzas y espinos(G) en batalla,
los pisotearé, los quemaré completamente[g](H),
a no ser que[h] él confíe en[i] mi protección(I),
que haga la paz conmigo,
que conmigo haga la paz(J).
En los días[j] venideros Jacob echará raíces(K),
Israel florecerá(L) y brotará,
y llenará el mundo entero[k] de fruto(M).

¿Acaso con la herida del que lo hirió fue herido(N),
o como con la matanza de sus muertos fue muerto?
Contendiste con él desterrándolo[l], expulsándolo(O).
Con su soplo violento lo echó en el día del viento solano(P).
Así pues, con esto la iniquidad de Jacob será perdonada[m](Q),
y este será todo el fruto del perdón[n] de su pecado(R):
cuando haga todas las piedras del altar como piedras de cal pulverizadas;
cuando no estén en pie las Aseras[o] y los altares de incienso[p](S).
10 Porque solitaria está la ciudad fortificada(T),
una morada[q] desamparada y abandonada como un desierto;
allí pastará el becerro,
y allí se echará y se alimentará de[r] sus ramas(U).
11 Cuando su ramaje está seco, es quebrado(V),
vienen las mujeres y le prenden fuego.
Porque no es pueblo de discernimiento(W),
por tanto su Hacedor no le tendrá compasión,
y su Creador(X) no tendrá piedad de él(Y).

12 Y sucederá en aquel día que el Señor trillará(Z) desde la corriente del Eufrates[s] hasta el torrente de Egipto(AA), y vosotros seréis recogidos(AB) uno a uno, oh hijos de Israel. 13 Sucederá también en aquel día que se tocará una gran trompeta(AC), y los que perecían en la tierra de Asiria y los desterrados en la tierra de Egipto(AD), vendrán y adorarán al Señor en el monte santo en Jerusalén(AE).

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.
