1 Cantaré en Nombre de mi Amado un canto de amor con respecto a su viña. Tuvo mi Amado una viña en una colina fértil.
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 cavó, despedregó y plantó una preciada cepa. Construyó una torre en su centro y cavó en ella un lagar. Esperó que diera uvas, pero dio uvas silvestres.
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 Y ahora, oh habitantes de Jerusalén y varones de Judá, juzguen entre Mí y mi viña.
3 “Now, inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, please judge between me and my vineyard.
4 ¿Qué más se podía hacer a mi viña que Yo no hice en ella? ¿Por qué cuando esperaba que diera uvas dio uvas silvestres?
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 Les mostraré, pues, lo que haré con mi viña. Le quitaré su cerco de tierra apisonada para que sirva de pasto. Derribaré su cerca para que sea pisoteada.
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 La dejaré desolada. No será podada ni labrada. Le crecerán las zarzas y los espinos. Mandaré a las nubes que no lluevan 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 Ciertamente la viña de Yavé de las huestes es la Casa de Israel, y los hombres de Judá su planta deliciosa. [Yavé] esperaba equidad, pero ve derramamiento de sangre. [Esperaba] justicia, pero oye un clamor de aflicción.
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 ¡Ay de los que juntan casa con casa y unen campo con campo, hasta ocuparlo todo y viven ustedes solos en medio de 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 Yavé de las huestes dijo a mis oídos: Sus muchas casas serán arrasadas. Sus magníficos palacios quedarán desolados.
9 In my ears, Yahweh of Armies says: “Surely many houses will be desolate, even great and beautiful, unoccupied.
10 Diez yugadas de viña producirán 22 litros, y 220 kilogramos de semilla producirá 22 litros de grano.
10 For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and a homer of seed shall yield an ephah.”
11 ¡Ay de los que se levantan temprano por la mañana a buscar bebida fuerte y se quedan hasta la noche, hasta que los enciende el vino!
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 Todo es arpa y salterio, flauta y tamboril, y vino en sus banquetes, pero no consideran lo que dijo Yavé, ni miran la obra de sus manos.
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 tanto, mi pueblo va a cautividad por falta de entendimiento. Sus hombres honorables perecen de hambre y su multitud se seca 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 Por eso el Seol ensancha las partes posteriores de su paladar y abre su boca sin medida. Allá baja el esplendor de ellos, su multitud y su alborozo, y el que se regocija en ello.
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 Se humilla el hombre. Es abatido el varón. Son bajados los ojos altivos.
15 So man is brought low, mankind is humbled, and the eyes of the arrogant ones are humbled;
16 Pero Yavé de las huestes será exaltado en el juicio, el Santo ʼEL mostrará su justicia.
16 but Yahweh of Armies is exalted in justice, and God the Holy One is sanctified in righteousness.
17 Los corderos pastarán como en sus propios pastizales. Forasteros y extranjeros comerán en los campos abandonados por los ricos.
17 Then the lambs will graze as in their pasture, and strangers will eat the ruins of the rich.
18 ¡Ay de los que arrastran la iniquidad con cuerdas de vanidad, y el pecado con sogas de carretas!
18 Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of falsehood, and wickedness as with cart rope,
19 Que dicen: ¡Venga ya, apresúrese su obra para que la veamos! ¡Que se cumpla ya el plan del Santo de Israel para que lo comprobemos!
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 ¡Ay de los que a lo malo llaman bueno, y a lo bueno, malo, que sustituyen la luz por la oscuridad y la oscuridad por la luz, que presentan lo amargo como dulce y lo dulce como amargo!
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 consideran sabios, y de los prudentes ante sus propios ojos!
21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
22 ¡Ay de los valientes para beber vino, y de los fuertes para mezclar bebida fuerte,
22 Woe to those who are mighty to drink wine, and champions at mixing strong drink;
23 de los que por soborno absuelven al culpable, y a los inocentes les quitan sus derechos!
23 who acquit the guilty for a bribe, but deny justice for the innocent!
24 Porque como la lengua de fuego devora el pasto y el rastrojo se consume en la llama, se pudrirá su raíz y su flor se desvanecerá como el polvo, porque desecharon la Ley de Yavé de las huestes y despreciaron 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 esta causa la ira de Yavé se encendió contra su pueblo, extiende su mano contra él y lo hiere. Las montañas se estremecen y sus cadáveres están tendidos en la calle. A pesar de todo, no se aplaca su ira. Su mano sigue extendida.
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 Alzará pendón a una nación distante. Silbará para ello desde los fines de la tierra: ¡Miren cómo viene rápida y veloz!
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 Nadie se cansa ni tropieza. Ninguno se acuesta ni se duerme. No se le afloja el cinturón de su cintura, ni se le rompe la correa de su sandalia.
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 Sus flechas están afiladas y todos sus arcos entesados. Los cascos de sus caballos son pedernal, y las ruedas de sus carruajes como tempestad.
28 whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent. Their horses’ hoofs will be like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind.
29 Su rugido es de león. Ruge como los leoncillos. Gruñe, atrapa la presa y la retiene. Nadie se la arrebata.
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 Rugirá sobre él en aquel día como rugido del mar. Si uno mira la tierra, ciertamente hay oscuridad y aflicción. Aun la luz es oscurecida por sus nubes.
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.
