Parábola de la viña

Cantaré ahora a mi amado,el canto de mi amado acerca de su viña.Mi bien amado tenía una viña en una fértil colina¹^a.2 La cavó por todas partes, quitó sus piedras,y la plantó de vides escogidas¹^a.Edificó una torre en medio de ella,y también excavó en ella un lagar²;y esperaba que produjera uvas buenas,perosolo produjo uvas silvestres³^b.

3 Y ahora, moradores de Jerusalén y hombres de Judá,juzgad entre mí y mi viña^a.4 ¿Qué más se puede hacer por mi viña,que¹ yo no haya hecho en ella^a?¿Por qué, cuando esperaba que produjera uvas buenas,produjo uvas silvestres²?5 Ahora pues, dejad que os digalo que yo he de hacer a mi viña:quitaré su vallado^a y será consumida;derribaré su muro^b y será hollada^c.6 Y haré que quede desolada^a;no será podada ni labrada,y crecerán zarzas y espinos.También mandaré a las nubes que no derramen¹ lluvia sobre ella^b.

7 Ciertamente, la viña del SEÑOR de los ejércitos es la casa de Israel,y los hombres de Judá su plantío delicioso^a.Él esperaba equidad, pero he aquí derramamiento de sangre^b;justicia, pero he aquí clamor.

Ayes contra los impíos

8 ¡Ay de los que juntáis casa con casa,y añadís campo a campohasta que no queda sitio alguno,para habitar vosotros solos en medio de la tierra^a!9 A mis oídos el SEÑOR de los ejércitos ha jurado:Ciertamente muchas casas^a serán desoladas^b,grandes y hermosas, pero sin moradores.10 Porque diez yugadas de viña produciránsolo un bato¹ de vino^a,y un homer² de semilla producirásolo un efa³ de grano^b.11 ¡Ay de los que se levantan muy de mañana para ir tras la bebida^a,de los que trasnochan para que el vino los encienda!12 En sus banquetes hay lira y arpa, pandero y flauta, y vino^a,y no contemplan las obras del SEÑOR,ni ven la obra de sus manos^b.

13 Por eso va cautivo mi pueblo por falta de discernimiento^a;sus notables están muertos de hambre¹^by su multitud reseca de sed.14 Por tanto el Seol¹ ha ensanchado su garganta²^a y ha abierto sin medida su boca;y a él desciende el esplendor de Jerusalén³, 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^a.16 Pero el SEÑOR de los ejércitos^a será exaltado por su juicio^b,y el Dios santo se mostrará santo por su justicia^c.17 Entonces pacerán los corderos como en su pastizal^a,y en los lugares desolados de los ricos¹, forasteros comerán.

18 ¡Ay de los que arrastran la iniquidad con cuerdas de falsedad¹y el pecado como con coyundas de carretas^a!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^a.20 ¡Ay de los que llaman al mal bien y al bien mal^a,que tienen¹ las tinieblas por luz y la luz por tinieblas^b,que tienen² lo amargo por dulce y lo dulce por amargo!21 ¡Ay de los sabios a sus propios ojose inteligentes ante sí mismos^a!22 ¡Ay de los héroes para beber vinoy valientes para mezclar bebidas^a,23 que justifican al impío por soborno^ay quitan al justo su derecho¹^b!

24 Por tanto, como consume el rastrojo la lengua de fuego^a,y la hierba seca cae ante la llama,su raíz^b como podredumbre se volverá y su flor como polvo será esparcida¹^c;porque desecharon la ley del SEÑOR de los ejércitos,y despreciaron la palabra del Santo de Israel^d.25 Por esta causa se ha encendido la ira del SEÑOR contra su pueblo^a,y ha extendido su mano contra ellos y los ha herido;los montes temblaron^b y sus cadáveres yacen¹ como desecho en medio de las calles^c.Con todo esto, no se ha agotado² su ira^d,y aún está extendida su mano^e.

26 Alzará estandarte^a a la nación lejana¹,y le silbará^b desde los confines de la tierra^c,y he aquí, vendrá muy pronto, con rapidez^d.27 En ella nadie está cansado ni nadie se tambalea^a,ninguno dormita ni duerme;a ninguno se le ha desatado el cinturón de la cintura^b,ni se le ha roto la correa de su sandalia.28 Sus flechas¹ están afiladas y todos sus arcos entesados^a;los cascos de sus caballos son² como pedernal y las³ ruedas de sus carros como torbellino^b.29 Su rugido es como de leona, ruge como leoncillos^a;gruñe y atrapa la presa^b,y se la lleva sin que nadie la libre^c.30 En aquel día gruñirá sobre ella como el bramido del mar^a.Si se mira hacia la tierra, he aquí, hay tinieblas y angustia;aun la luz es oscurecida por sus nubes^b.

Parable of the Vineyard

Let me sing now for my well-belovedA song of my beloved concerning His vineyard.My well-beloved had a ^avineyard on ¹a fertile hill.2 He dug it all around, removed its stones,And planted it with ¹the ^achoicest vine.And He built a tower in the middle of itAnd also hewed out a ²wine vat in it;Then He ^bexpected it to produce good grapes,But it produced only ³worthless ones.

3 “And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah,^aJudge between Me and My vineyard.4 “^aWhat more was there to do for My vineyard ¹that I have not done in it?Why, when I expected it to produce good grapes did it produce ²worthless ones?5 “So now let Me tell you what I am going to do to My vineyard:I will ^aremove its hedge and it will be consumed;I will ^bbreak down its wall and it will become ^ctrampled ground.6 “I will ^alay it waste;It will not be pruned or hoed,But briars and thorns will come up.I will also charge the clouds to ^brain no rain on it.”

7 For the ^avineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of IsraelAnd the men of Judah His delightful plant.Thus He looked for justice, but behold, ^bbloodshed;For righteousness, but behold, a cry of distress.

Woes for the Wicked

8 Woe to those who ^aadd house to house and join field to field,Until there is no more room,So that you have to live alone in the midst of the land!9 In my ears the LORD of hosts has sworn, “Surely, ^amany houses shall become ^bdesolate,Even great and fine ones, without occupants.10 “For ^aten acres of vineyard will yield only one ¹bath of wine,And a ^bhomer of seed will yield but an ²ephah of grain.”11 Woe to those who rise early in the morning that they may pursue ^astrong drink,Who stay up late in the evening that wine may inflame them!12 Their banquets are accompanied by lyre and ^aharp, by tambourine and flute, and by wine;But they ^bdo not pay attention to the deeds of the LORD,Nor do they consider the work of His hands.

13 Therefore My people go into exile for their ^alack of knowledge;And ¹their ^bhonorable men are famished,And their multitude is parched with thirst.14 Therefore ^aSheol has enlarged its ¹throat and opened its mouth without measure;And ²Jerusalem’s splendor, her multitude, her din of revelry and the jubilant within her, descend into it.15 So the common man will be humbled and the man of importance abased,^aThe eyes of the proud also will be abased.16 But the ^aLORD of hosts will be ^bexalted in judgment,And the holy God will show Himself ^choly in righteousness.17 ^aThen the lambs will graze as in their pasture,And strangers will eat in the waste places of the ¹wealthy.

18 Woe to those who drag ^ainiquity with the cords of ¹falsehood,And sin as if with cart ropes;19 ^aWho say, “Let Him make speed, let Him hasten His work, that we may see it;And let the purpose of the Holy One of Israel draw nearAnd come to pass, that we may know it!”20 Woe to those who ^acall evil good, and good evil;Who ¹^bsubstitute darkness for light and light for darkness;Who ²substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!21 Woe to those who are ^awise in their own eyesAnd clever in their own sight!22 ^aWoe to those who are heroes in drinking wineAnd valiant men in mixing strong drink,23 ^aWho justify the wicked for a bribe,And ^btake away the ¹rights of the ones who are in the right!

24 Therefore, ^aas a tongue of fire consumes stubbleAnd dry grass collapses into the flame,So their ^broot will become ^clike rot and their blossom ¹blow away as dust;For they have ^drejected the law of the LORD of hostsAnd despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.25 On this account the ^aanger of the LORD has burned against His people,And He has stretched out His hand against them and struck them down.And the ^bmountains quaked, and their ^ccorpses ¹lay like refuse in the middle of the streets.^dFor all this His anger ²is not spent,But His ^ehand is still stretched out.

26 He will also lift up a ^astandard to the ¹distant nation,And will ^bwhistle for it ^cfrom the ends of the earth;And behold, it will ^dcome with speed swiftly.27 ^aNo one in it is weary or stumbles,None slumbers or sleeps;Nor is the ^bbelt at its waist undone,Nor its sandal strap broken.28 ¹^aIts arrows are sharp and all its bows are bent;The hoofs of its horses ²seem like flint and its chariot ^bwheels like a whirlwind.29 Its ^aroaring is like a lioness, and it roars like young lions;It growls as it ^bseizes the preyAnd carries it off with ^cno one to deliver it.30 And it will ^agrowl over it in that day like the roaring of the sea.If one ^blooks to the land, behold, there is darkness and distress;Even the light is darkened by its clouds.

Woes for the Wicked

8 Woe to those who ^aattach house to house and join field to field,Until there is no more room,And you alone are a landowner in the midst of the land!9 In my ears the LORD of armies has sworn, “^aMany houses shall certainly become ^bdesolate,Even great and fine ones, without occupants.10 “For ^aten acres of vineyard will yield only one ¹bath of wine,And a ²^bhomer of seed will yield only an ³ephah of grain.”11 Woe to those who rise early in the morning so that they may pursue ^aintoxicating drink,Who stay up late in the evening so that wine may inflame them!12 Their banquets are accompanied by lyre and ^aharp, by tambourine and flute, and by wine;But they ^bdo not pay attention to the deeds of the LORD,Nor do they consider the work of His hands.

18 Woe to those who drag ^awrongdoing with the cords of ¹deceit,And sin as if with cart ropes;19 ^aWho say, “Let Him hurry, let Him do His work quickly, so that we may see it;And let the plan of the Holy One of Israel approachAnd come to pass, so that we may know it!”20 Woe to those who ^acall evil good, and good evil;Who ¹^bsubstitute darkness for light and light for darkness;Who ²substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!21 Woe to those who are ^awise in their own eyesAnd ¹clever in their own sight!22 ^aWoe to those who are heroes in drinking wine,And valiant men in mixing intoxicating drink,23 ^aWho declare the wicked innocent for a bribe,And ^btake away the ¹rights of the ones who are in the right!
