Isaiah 5
American Standard Version
5 Let me sing [a]for my wellbeloved a song of my beloved touching his vineyard. My wellbeloved had a vineyard in [b]a very fruitful hill: 2 and he digged it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also hewed out a [c]winepress therein: and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes.
3 And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard. 4 What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes? 5 And now I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be [d]eaten up; I will break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down: 6 and I will lay it waste; it shall not be pruned nor hoed; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it. 7 For the vineyard of Jehovah of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah [e]his pleasant plant: and he looked for justice, but, behold, [f]oppression; for righteousness, but, behold, a cry.
8 Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no room, and ye be made to dwell alone in the midst of the land! 9 In mine ears saith Jehovah of hosts, Of a truth many houses shall be desolate, even great and fair, without inhabitant. 10 For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and a homer of seed shall yield but an ephah. 11 Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that tarry late into the night, till wine inflame them! 12 And the harp and the lute, the tabret and the pipe, and wine, are in their feasts; but they regard not the work of Jehovah, neither have they considered the operation of his hands.
13 Therefore my people are gone into captivity for lack of knowledge; and [g]their honorable men are famished, and their multitude are parched with thirst. 14 Therefore Sheol hath enlarged its desire, and opened its mouth without measure; and their glory, and their multitude, and their [h]pomp, and he that rejoiceth among them, descend into it. 15 And the mean man is bowed down, and the great man is humbled, and the eyes of the lofty are humbled: 16 but Jehovah of hosts is exalted in justice, and God the Holy One is sanctified in righteousness. 17 Then shall the lambs feed as in their pasture, and the waste places of the fat ones shall [i]wanderers eat.
18 Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of falsehood, and sin as it were with a cart rope; 19 that say, Let him make speed, let him hasten his work, that we may see it; and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it! 20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! 21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight! 22 Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink; 23 that justify the wicked for a bribe, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!
24 Therefore as the tongue of fire devoureth the stubble, and as the dry grass sinketh down in the flame, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust; because they have rejected the [j]law of Jehovah of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel. 25 Therefore is the anger of Jehovah kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them; and the mountains tremble, and their dead bodies are as refuse in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
26 And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and will hiss for [k]them from the end of the earth; and, behold, [l]they shall come with speed swiftly. 27 None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the girdle of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken: 28 whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent; their horses’ hoofs shall be accounted as flint, and their wheels as a whirlwind: 29 their roaring shall be like a lioness, they shall roar like young lions; yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and carry it away safe, and there shall be none to deliver. 30 And they shall roar [m]against them in that day like the roaring of the sea: and if one look unto the land, [n]behold, darkness and distress; and the light is darkened in the clouds thereof.

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).

Isaiah 5
King James Version
5 Now will I sing to my wellbeloved a song of my beloved touching his vineyard. My wellbeloved hath a vineyard in a very fruitful hill:
2 And he fenced it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also made a winepress therein: and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes.
3 And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard.
4 What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?
5 And now go to; I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; and break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down:
6 And I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor digged; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.
7 For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for judgment, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold a cry.
8 Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no place, that they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth!
9 In mine ears said the Lord of hosts, Of a truth many houses shall be desolate, even great and fair, without inhabitant.
10 Yea, ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and the seed of an homer shall yield an ephah.
11 Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them!
12 And the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe, and wine, are in their feasts: but they regard not the work of the Lord, neither consider the operation of his hands.
13 Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst.
14 Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.
15 And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled:
16 But the Lord of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness.
17 Then shall the lambs feed after their manner, and the waste places of the fat ones shall strangers eat.
18 Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart rope:
19 That say, Let him make speed, and hasten his work, that we may see it: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it!
20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
22 Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:
23 Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!
24 Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the Lord of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
25 Therefore is the anger of the Lord kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them: and the hills did tremble, and their carcases were torn in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
26 And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and will hiss unto them from the end of the earth: and, behold, they shall come with speed swiftly:
27 None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the girdle of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken:
28 Whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent, their horses' hoofs shall be counted like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind:
29 Their roaring shall be like a lion, they shall roar like young lions: yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and shall carry it away safe, and none shall deliver it.
30 And in that day they shall roar against them like the roaring of the sea: and if one look unto the land, behold darkness and sorrow, and the light is darkened in the heavens thereof.
