WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Ahora entonaré para el que amo un canto sobre su viña. Mi Amado tiene una viña en una fértil colina.
1 Let me sing for my well beloved a song of my beloved about his vineyard. My beloved had a vineyard on a very fruitful hill.
2 La aró, le quitó todas las piedras y plantó un viñedo con las más escogidas vides. Edificó una torre para el vigilante y en las rocas cavó un lagar. Estuvo en espera de la vendimia, pero las uvas que se produjeron eran silvestres y agrias, y no dulces como él las esperaba.
2 He dug it up, gathered out its stones, planted it with the choicest vine, built a tower in the middle of it, and also cut out a wine press in it. He looked for it to yield grapes, but it yielded wild grapes.
3 Ya han oído el caso, hombres de Jerusalén y de Judá, sean ustedes los jueces.
3 “Now, inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, please judge between me and my vineyard.
4 ¿Qué más podría haber hecho yo? ¿Por qué en vez de uvas dulces mi viña produjo uvas agrias?
4 What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? Why, when I looked for it to yield grapes, did it yield wild grapes?
5 Derribaré las cercas y dejaré que mi viña sea pisoteada por las vacas y ovejas que en ella pastan.
5 Now I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard. I will take away its hedge, and it will be eaten up. I will break down its wall, and it will be trampled down.
6 No la podaré ni la escardaré sino dejaré que la invadan maleza y espinos. Ordenaré a las nubes que no lluevan más sobre ella.
6 I will lay it a wasteland. It won’t be pruned or hoed, but it will grow briers and thorns. I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain on it.”
7 Les he presentado la historia del pueblo de Dios. Mi pueblo es la viña de la que les he hablado. Israel y Judá son su agradable parcela. Dios esperaba que le produjeran cosecha de justicia, pero halló que sólo cometieron hechos sangrientos. Esperaba que actuaran con rectitud, pero a sus oídos llegaron sólo gritos de opresión.
7 For the vineyard of Yahweh of Armies is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant. He looked for justice, but behold, oppression, for righteousness, but behold, a cry of distress.
8 Ustedes compran propiedades y las acaparan para que otros no tengan donde vivir. Edifican sus casas en medio de extensos terrenos para vivir a sus anchas en la tierra.
8 Woe to those who join house to house, who lay field to field, until there is no room, and you are made to dwell alone in the middle of the land!
9 Pero el Señor Todopoderoso ha decretado para ustedes un espantoso destino; con mis propios oídos lo escuché: «Quedarán desiertas muchas casas hermosas, y su dueños morirán o desaparecerán».
9 In my ears, Yahweh of Armies says: “Surely many houses will be desolate, even great and beautiful, unoccupied.
10 ¡Cinco hectáreas de viñedos producirán sólo veinticuatro litros de jugo! ¡Doscientos cuarenta litros de semilla no darán más que veinticuatro litros de cosecha!
10 For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and a homer of seed shall yield an ephah.”
11 ¡Ay de los que madrugan a embriagarse y siguen el jolgorio hasta altas horas de la noche! ¡Ay de ustedes, borrachos!
11 Woe to those who rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink, who stay late into the night, until wine inflames them!
12 Ustedes llevan buena música a sus grandes fiestas; las orquestas son magníficas. Pero no piensan en el Señor ni de él se preocupan.
12 The harp, lyre, tambourine, and flute, with wine, are at their feasts; but they don’t respect the work of Yahweh, neither have they considered the operation of his hands.
13 Por lo tanto les enviaré desterrados a tierras muy lejanas, pues no saben ni les importa todo lo que por ustedes he hecho. Los hombres de grandeza y respeto entre ustedes morirán de hambre y los del vulgo morirán de sed.
13 Therefore my people go into captivity for lack of knowledge. Their honorable men are famished, and their multitudes are parched with thirst.
14 Ya el infierno se relame esperando a Jerusalén, como si fuera delicioso bocado. Devorados serán los grandes y pequeños de ella, así como sus ebrias multitudes.
14 Therefore Sheol has enlarged its desire, and opened its mouth without measure; and their glory, their multitude, their pomp, and he who rejoices among them, descend into it.
15 En aquel día los altivos serán derribados hasta el polvo, los orgullosos serán humillados.
15 So man is brought low, mankind is humbled, and the eyes of the arrogant ones are humbled;
16 Pero el Señor Todopoderoso es exaltado por sobre todo, pues sólo él es santo, justo y bueno.
16 but Yahweh of Armies is exalted in justice, and God the Holy One is sanctified in righteousness.
17 En aquellos días pastarán los rebaños entre las ruinas. Corderos, becerros y cabritos pastarán allí.
17 Then the lambs will graze as in their pasture, and strangers will eat the ruins of the rich.
18 ¡Ay de los que llevan sus pecados a rastras como toro enlazado!
18 Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of falsehood, and wickedness as with cart rope,
19 Hasta se burlan del Santo de Israel y desafían al Señor a que los castigue. «¡Vamos, castíganos, Señor!», dicen. «¡A ver qué puedes hacer!».
19 who say, “Let him make haste, let him hasten his work, that we may see it; let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw near and come, that we may know it!”
20 Dicen que lo bueno es malo y lo malo es bueno, que lo negro es blanco y lo blanco negro, dulce lo amargo y amargo lo dulce.
20 Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
21 ¡Ay de los que se creen muy sabios y astutos!
21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
22 ¡Ay de los valientes de la embriaguez, los que se vanaglorian de cuánto licor resisten!
22 Woe to those who are mighty to drink wine, and champions at mixing strong drink;
23 Aceptan soborno para pervertir la justicia; dejan libre al malvado y encarcelan al inocente.
23 who acquit the guilty for a bribe, but deny justice for the innocent!
24 Por tanto Dios se encargará de ellos y los dará al fuego. Desaparecerán como la paja en las llamas. Las raíces se les pudrirán y las flores se les marchitarán, porque han desechado las leyes de Dios y han menospreciado la Palabra del Santo de Israel.
24 Therefore as the tongue of fire devours the stubble, and as the dry grass sinks down in the flame, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust, because they have rejected the law of Yahweh of Armies, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
25 Por eso está encendida contra su pueblo la ira del Señor, por eso ha extendido su mano para aniquilarlos. Temblarán las colinas y los cadáveres podridos de su pueblo serán echados como basura a las calles. Pero aún así no se aplaca su ira, todavía levanta su mano sobre ellos.
25 Therefore Yahweh’s anger burns against his people, and he has stretched out his hand against them and has struck them. The mountains tremble, and their dead bodies are as refuse in the middle of the streets. For all this, his anger is not turned away, but his hand is still stretched out.
26 El Señor dará señal a las naciones lejanas, silbará a los de los confines de la tierra y acudirán en tropel hacia Jerusalén.
26 He will lift up a banner to the nations from far away, and he will whistle for them from the end of the earth. Behold, they will come speedily and swiftly.
27 Ellos jamás se fatigan, ni tropiezan ni se detienen; llevan sus cintos apretados y calzan fuertes botas; corren sin detenerse a descansar ni a dormir.
27 No one shall be weary nor stumble among them; no one shall slumber nor sleep, neither shall the belt of their waist be untied, nor the strap of their sandals be broken,
28 Tienen agudas flechas, arcos curvados. Los cascos de sus caballos echan chispas y las ruedas de sus carros giran como el viento.
28 whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent. Their horses’ hoofs will be like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind.
29 Rugen como leones y saltan sobre su presa. Se apoderan de mi pueblo y se lo llevan a lejano cautiverio, sin que haya quien los libre.
29 Their roaring will be like a lioness. They will roar like young lions. Yes, they shall roar, and seize their prey and carry it off, and there will be no one to deliver.
30 Gruñen sobre sus víctimas como mar rugiente. Nube de tinieblas y dolor cubre a Israel. Negro es el cielo.
30 They will roar against them in that day like the roaring of the sea. If one looks to the land, behold, darkness and distress. The light is darkened in its clouds.

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.
