Notes on this text (1)
- Same Septuagint text as Brenton, with modernised spelling.
1 Now I will sing to [my] beloved a song of my beloved concerning my vineyard. [My] beloved had a vineyard on a high hill in a fertile place.
1 AHORA cantaré por mi amado el cantar de mi amado á su viña. Tenía mi amado una viña en un recuesto, lugar fértil.
2 And I made a hedge round it, and dug a trench, and planted a choice vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and dug a place for the wine vat in it: and I waited [for it] to bring forth grapes, and it brought forth thorns.
2 Habíala cercado, y despedregádola, y plantádola de vides escogidas: había edificado en medio de ella una torre, y también asentado un lagar en ella: y esperaba que llevase uvas, y llevó uvas silvestres.
3 And now, ye dwellers in Jerusalem, and [every] man of Judah, judge between me and my vineyard.
3 Ahora pues, vecinos de Jerusalem y varones de Judá, juzgad ahora entre mí y mi viña.
4 What shall I do anymore to my vineyard, that I have not done to it? Whereas I expected [it] to bring forth grapes, but it has brought forth thorns.
4 ¿Qué más se había de hacer á mi viña, que yo no haya hecho en ella? ¿Cómo, esperando yo que llevase uvas, ha llevado uvas silvestres?
5 And now I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away its hedge, and it shall be for a spoil; and I will pull down its walls, and it shall be [left] to be trodden down.
5 Os mostraré pues ahora lo que haré yo á mi viña: Quitaréle su vallado, y será para ser consumida; aportillaré su cerca, y será para ser hollada;
6 And I will forsake my vineyard; and it shall not be pruned, nor dug, and thorns shall come up upon it as on barren land; and I will command the clouds to rain no rain upon it.
6 Haré que quede desierta; no será podada ni cavada, y crecerá el cardo y las espinas: y aun á las nubes mandaré que no derramen lluvia sobre ella.
7 For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah [his] beloved plant: I expected [it] to bring forth judgment, and it brought forth iniquity; and not righteousness, but a cry.
7 Ciertamente la viña de Jehová de los ejércitos es la casa de Israel, y los hombres de Judá planta suya deleitosa. Esperaba juicio, y he aquí vileza; justicia, y he aquí clamor.
8 Woe [to them] that join house to house, and add field to field, that they may take away something of their neighbor’s: will ye dwell alone upon the land?
8 ¡Ay de los que juntan casa con casa, y allegan heredad á heredad hasta acabar el término! ¿Habitaréis vosotros solos en medio de la tierra?
9 For these things have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts: for though many houses should be built, many and fair houses shall be desolate, and there shall be no inhabitants in them.
9 [Ha llegado] á mis oídos de parte de Jehová de los ejércitos, que las muchas casas han de quedar asoladas, sin morador las grandes y hermosas.
10 For where ten yoke of oxen plow [the land] shall yield one jarful, and he that sows six homers shall produce three measures.
10 Y diez huebras de viña producirán un zaque, y treinta modios de simiente darán tres modios.
11 Woe [to them] that rise up in the morning, and follow strong drink; who wait [at it till] the evening: for the wine shall inflame them.
11 ¡Ay de los que se levantan de mañana para seguir la embriaguez; que se están hasta la noche, hasta que el vino los enciende!
12 For they drink wine with harp, and psaltery, and drums, and pipes: but they regard not the works of the Lord, and consider not the works of his hands.
12 Y en sus banquetes hay arpas, vihuelas, tamboriles, flautas, y vino; y no miran la obra de Jehová, ni consideran la obra de sus manos.
13 Therefore my people have been taken captive, because they know not the Lord: and there has been a multitude of dead [bodies], because of hunger and of thirst for water.
13 Por tanto mi pueblo fué llevado cautivo, porque no tuvo ciencia: y su gloria pereció de hambre, y su multitud se secó de sed.
14 Therefore hell has enlarged its desire and opened its mouth without ceasing: and her glorious and great, and her rich and her pestilent men shall go down [into it].
14 Por eso ensanchó su interior el sepulcro, y sin medida extendió su boca; y [allá] descenderá la gloria de ellos, y su multitud, y su fausto, y el que en él se holgaba.
15 And the mean man shall be brought low, and the great man shall be disgraced, and the lofty eyes shall be brought low.
15 Y el hombre será humillado, y el varón será abatido, y bajados serán los ojos de los altivos.
16 But the Lord of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and the holy God shall be glorified in righteousness.
16 Mas Jehová de los ejércitos será ensalzado en juicio, y el Dios Santo será santificado con justicia.
17 And they that were spoiled shall be fed as bulls, and lambs shall feed on the waste places of them that are taken away.
17 Y los corderos serán apacentados según su costumbre; y extraños comerán las gruesas desamparadas.
18 Woe [to them] that draw sins to them as with a long rope, and iniquities as with a thong of the heifer’s yoke:
18 ¡Ay de los que traen la iniquidad con cuerdas de vanidad, y el pecado como con coyundas de carreta,
19 who say, Let him speedily hasten what he will do, that we may see [it]: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel come, that we may know [it].
19 Los cuales dicen: Venga ya, apresúrese su obra, y veamos: acérquese, y venga el consejo del Santo de Israel, para que lo sepamos!
20 Woe [to them] that call evil good, and good evil; who make darkness light, and light darkness; who make bitter sweet, and sweet bitter.
20 ¡Ay de los que á lo malo dicen bueno, y á lo bueno malo; que hacen de la luz tinieblas, y de las tinieblas luz; que ponen lo amargo por dulce, y lo dulce por amargo!
21 Woe [to them] that are wise in their own conceit, and knowing in their own sight.
21 ¡Ay de los sabios en sus ojos, y de los que son prudentes delante de sí mismos!
22 Woe to the strong [ones] of you that drink wine, and the mighty [ones] that mingle strong drink:
22 ¡Ay de los que son valientes para beber vino, y hombres fuertes para mezclar bebida;
23 who justify the ungodly for rewards, and take away the righteousness of the righteous.
23 Los que dan por justo al impío por cohechos, y al justo quitan su justicia!
24 Therefore as stubble shall be burned by a coal of fire, and shall be consumed by a violent flame, their root shall be as chaff, and their flower shall go up as dust: for they rejected the law of the Lord of hosts, and insulted the word of the Holy One of Israel.
24 Por tanto, como la lengua del fuego consume las aristas, y la llama devora la paja, así será su raíz como pudrimiento, y su flor se desvanecerá como polvo: porque desecharon la ley de Jehová de los ejércitos, y abominaron la palabra del Santo de Israel.
25 Therefore the Lord of hosts was greatly angered against his people, and he reached forth his hand upon them, and smote them: and the mountains were troubled, and their carcasses were as dung in the midst of the way: yet for all this his anger has not been turned away, but his hand is yet raised.
25 Por esta causa se encendió el furor de Jehová contra su pueblo, y extendió contra él su mano, é hirióle; y se estremecieron los montes, y sus cadáveres fueron arrojados en medio de las calles. Con todo esto no ha cesado su furor, antes está su mano todavía extendida.
26 Therefore shall he lift up a signal to the nations that are afar, and shall hiss for them from the end of the earth; and, behold, they are coming very quickly.
26 Y alzará pendón á gentes de lejos, y silbará al [que está] en el cabo de la tierra; y he aquí que vendrá pronto y velozmente.
27 They shall not hunger nor be weary, neither shall they slumber nor sleep; neither shall they loose their girdles from their loins, neither shall their shoe latchets be broken.
27 No habrá entre ellos cansado, ni que vacile; ninguno se dormirá ni le tomará sueño; á ninguno se le desatará el cinto de los lomos, ni se le romperá la correa de sus zapatos.
28 Whose arrows are sharp, and their bows bent; their horses’ hoofs are counted as solid rock: their chariot wheels are as a storm.
28 Sus saetas amoladas, y todos sus arcos entesados; las uñas de sus caballos parecerán como de pedernal, y las ruedas [de sus carros] como torbellino.
29 They rage as lions, and draw nigh as a lion’s whelps: and he shall seize, and roar as a wild beast, and he shall cast [them] forth, and there shall be none to deliver them.
29 Su bramido como de león; rugirá á manera de leoncillos, rechinará los dientes, y arrebatará la presa; la apañara, y nadie [se la] quitará.
30 And he shall roar on account of them in that day, as the sound of the swelling sea; and they shall look to the land, and, behold, [there shall be] thick darkness in their perplexity.
30 Y bramará sobre él en aquel día como bramido de la mar: entonces mirará hacia la tierra, y he aquí tinieblas de tribulación, y en sus cielos se oscurecerá la luz.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… against those who confessed Christ, and that those who slandered Him, and said that it was well to preserve the ancient customs, should be miserable, hear what was briefly said by Isaiah; it is this: "Woe unto them that call sweet bitter, and bitter sweet." Chapter L — His humiliation predicted But that, having become man for our sakes, He …
… the evil, and sends rain upon the just and unjust." And the righteous suffer persecution, are afflicted, and are slain, while sinners are possessed of abundance, and "drink with the sound of the harp and psaltery, but do not regard the works of the Lord." But, according to the language [used by the prophet], they ought to be combined, and …
… he, "whether in pretence or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice." For it is Christ Himself who planted the vine of which the prophet says, "The vine of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel;" and He drinks of its wine, whether we thus understand that cup of which He …

For it is no longer "a flying sickle," nor "the taking down of a hedge," nor "the treading under foot of the vineyard;" but an axe exceeding sharp, and what is worse, it is even at the doors.

… Esaias aforetime bewail you, saying, My well-beloved had a vineyard in a hill in a fruitful place; and (not to recite the whole) I waited, he says, that it should bring forth grapes; I thirsted that it should give wine; but it brought forth thorns; for thou seest the crown, wherewith I am adorned.
