WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Permítanme cantar una canción para mi amor, sobre su viñedo. Mi amor tenía 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, limpió el suelo de piedras y la plantó con las mejores vides. En medio de ella construyó una torre de vigilancia, y también excavó un lagar a partir de la roca. Luego esperó una buena cosecha de uvas, pero sólo produjo uvas silvestres y agrias.
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 “Ahora, ustedes que viven en Jerusalén y en Judá, por favor, juzguen entre mi viña y yo.
3 “Now, inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, please judge between me and my vineyard.
4 ¿Qué más podía hacer por mi viña de lo que ya he hecho? Cuando buscaba uvas dulces, ¿por qué sólo 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 “Así que déjenme decirles lo que voy a hacer con mi viña. Quitaré su seto y será destruida. Derribaré su muro, y será 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 convertiré en un lugar desierto. No se podará ni se cortará más la hierba en ella: quedará cubierta de zarzas y espinas. Ordenaré a las nubes que no llueva 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 Israel es la viña del Señor Todopoderoso, y el pueblo de Judá son las plantas de su jardín que lo hacen feliz. Sin embargo, mientras esperaba justicia, sólo veía injusticia; esperaba que la gente viviera bien, pero sólo escuchaba los gritos de los que sufrían.
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 La tragedia se acerca a ti, que compras casa sobre casa y campo sobre campo, acumulándolos hasta que nadie tenga dónde vivir y tú puedas vivir solo 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 Oí al Señor Todopoderoso declarar: Puedes estar seguro de que muchas casas están destinadas a convertirse en ruinas, y hermosas mansiones destinadas a quedar deshabitadas.
9 In my ears, Yahweh of Armies says: “Surely many houses will be desolate, even great and beautiful, unoccupied.
10 Diez acres de viña sólo producirán seis galones de vino, y una medida de semilla sólo la décima parte en grano.
10 For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and a homer of seed shall yield an ephah.”
11 La tragedia llega a ustedes que se levantan temprano por la mañana con ganas de beber, y que se quedan hasta tarde bebiendo vino hasta emborracharse.
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 En sus fiestas ustedes tienen liras y arpas, panderetas y flautas, y vino, pero nunca consideran lo que hace el Señor, y no reconocen su ayuda.
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 Como resultado, mi pueblo será desterrado por su falta de entendimiento. Sus honorables líderes morirán de hambre, y las multitudes se 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 El apetito de la tumba aumenta, su boca se abre de par en par, y la nobleza de Jerusalén y las masas bajarán a ella, junto con las turbas alborotadas y borrachas.
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 Todos serán abatidos, todos serán humillados; los orgullosos bajarán sus ojos en señal de humillación.
15 So man is brought low, mankind is humbled, and the eyes of the arrogant ones are humbled;
16 Pero el Señor Todopoderoso será reivindicado porque hace lo que es justo; el Dios santo se mostrará santo por su bondad.
16 but Yahweh of Armies is exalted in justice, and God the Holy One is sanctified in righteousness.
17 Los corderos pastarán como en su propio pasto; el ganado cebado y las cabras se alimentarán entre las ruinas de los ricos.
17 Then the lambs will graze as in their pasture, and strangers will eat the ruins of the rich.
18 Viene la tragedia para ustedes, que arrastran sus pecados detrás de la iniquidad con cuerdas hechas de mentiras, y tiran con cuerdas de la maldad.
18 Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of falsehood, and wickedness as with cart rope,
19 Ustedes son de los que dicen: “¡Dios debería darse prisa! ¿Por qué Dios no se apresura con lo que está haciendo para que podamos verlo? ¿Por qué el Santo de Israel no ejecuta su plan? Veamos lo que sucede para poder entender de qué se trata”.
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 La tragedia está llegando a ustedes que dicen que el mal es bueno, y el bien es malo; que convierten las tinieblas en luz y la luz en tinieblas; que hacen de lo amargo algo dulce, y de lo dulce algo 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 La tragedia viene a ustedes que son sabios en sus propios ojos y se creen muy inteligentes.
21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
22 La tragedia viene para ustedes, que son campeones en el consumo de vino, y expertos en mezclar bebidas alcohólicas;
22 Woe to those who are mighty to drink wine, and champions at mixing strong drink;
23 ustedes que liberan al culpable por un soborno, y sin embargo niegan la justicia al inocente.
23 who acquit the guilty for a bribe, but deny justice for the innocent!
24 Así como el fuego quema los rastrojos y la hierba seca cae en las llamas, así sus raíces se descompondrán y sus flores se desintegrarán en polvo. Porque han rechazado la ley del Señor Todopoderoso, y han tratado con desprecio lo que el Santo de Israel ha dicho.
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 el Señor arde de ira contra su pueblo. Ha levantado su mano y los ha golpeado, sacudiendo las montañas y dejando sus cadáveres tirados como basura en las calles. A pesar de todo esto, su cólera no ha terminado, y su mano sigue levantada.
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 Enviará una señal a las naciones lejanas y silbará a los que viven en los confines de la tierra. Mira qué rápido responden, qué rápido vienen.
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 Ninguno de ellos se cansa ni tropieza; ninguno descansa ni duerme. Ningún cinturón se afloja, y ninguna correa de sandalia se rompe.
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 ya están afiladas, y todos sus arcos han sido ensartados. Los cascos de sus caballos son duros como el pedernal; las ruedas de sus carros giran como un torbellino.
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, como jóvenes leones. Gruñen y se abalanzan sobre su presa. La arrastran para que no pueda ser rescatada.
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 En ese momento rugirán sobre su presa como el rugido del mar. Cualquiera que mire hacia la tierra sólo verá oscuridad y angustia; incluso la luz del sol se verá oscurecida por las 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).
