Isaiah 5
1 I will sing to my beloved the canticle of my paternal cousin, about his vineyard. A vineyard was made for my beloved, at the horn in the son of oil.
Cantaré en Nombre de mi Amado un canto de amor con respecto a su viña. Tuvo mi Amado una viña en una colina fértil.
2 And he fenced it in, and he picked the stones out of it, and he planted it with the best vines, and he built a tower in the middle of it, and he set up a winepress within it. And he expected it to produce grapes, but it produced wild vines.
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.
3 Now then, inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah: judge between me and my vineyard.
Y ahora, oh habitantes de Jerusalén y varones de Judá, juzguen entre Mí y mi viña.
4 What more should I have done for my vineyard that I did not do for it? Should I not have expected it to produce grapes, though it produced wild vines?
¿Qué más se podía hacer a mi viña que Yo no hice en ella? ¿Por qué cuando esperaba que diera uvas dio uvas silvestres?
5 And now, I will reveal to you what I will do to my vineyard. I will take away its fence, and it will be plundered. I will pull down its wall, and it will be trampled.
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.
6 And I will make it desolate. It will not be pruned, and it will not be dug. And briers and thorns will rise up. And I will command the clouds not to rain upon it.
La dejaré desolada. No será podada ni labrada. Le crecerán las zarzas y los espinos. Mandaré a las nubes que no lluevan sobre ella.
7 For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel. And the man of Judah is his delightful seedling. And I expected that he would do judgment, and behold iniquity, and that he would do justice, and behold an outcry.
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.
8 Woe to you who join house to house, and who combine field to field, even to the limits of the place! Do you intend to live alone in the midst of the earth?
¡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!
9 These things are in my ears, says the Lord of hosts. Otherwise, many houses, great and beautiful, will become desolate, without an inhabitant.
Yavé de las huestes dijo a mis oídos: Sus muchas casas serán arrasadas. Sus magníficos palacios quedarán desolados.
10 Then ten acres of vineyard will produce one small bottle of wine, and thirty measures of seed will produce three measures of grain.
Diez yugadas de viña producirán 22 litros, y 220 kilogramos de semilla producirá 22 litros de grano.
11 Woe to you who rise up in the morning to pursue drunkenness, and to drink even until evening, so as to be inflamed with wine.
¡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!
12 Harp and lyre and timbrel and pipe, as well as wine, are at your feasts. But you do not respect the work of the Lord, nor do you consider the works of his hands.
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.
13 Because of this, my people have been led away as captives, for they did not have knowledge, and their nobles have passed away from famine, and their multitudes have dried up from thirst.
Por tanto, mi pueblo va a cautividad por falta de entendimiento. Sus hombres honorables perecen de hambre y su multitud se seca de sed.
14 For this reason, Hell has expanded its soul, and has opened its mouth without any limits. And their strong ones, and their people, and their exalted and glorious ones will descend into it. (Sheol h7585)
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. (Sheol h7585)
15 And man will be bowed down, and man will be humbled, and the eyes of the exalted will be brought low.
Se humilla el hombre. Es abatido el varón. Son bajados los ojos altivos.
16 And the Lord of hosts will be exalted in judgment, and the holy God will be sanctified in justice.
Pero Yavé de las huestes será exaltado en el juicio, el Santo ʼEL mostrará su justicia.
17 And the lambs will pasture in proper order, and new arrivals will eat from the deserts turned into fertile lands.
Los corderos pastarán como en sus propios pastizales. Forasteros y extranjeros comerán en los campos abandonados por los ricos.
18 Woe to you who draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and who draw sin as if with the rope of a cart,
¡Ay de los que arrastran la iniquidad con cuerdas de vanidad, y el pecado con sogas de carretas!
19 and who say: “Let him hurry, and let his work arrive soon, so that we may see it. And let the plan of the Holy One of Israel approach and arrive, so that we may know it.”
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!
20 Woe to you who call evil good, and good evil; who substitute darkness for light, and light for darkness; who exchange bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
¡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!
21 Woe to you who are wise in your own eyes, and prudent in your own sight!
¡Ay de los que se consideran sabios, y de los prudentes ante sus propios ojos!
22 Woe to you who are powerful at drinking wine, who are strong men in contriving inebriation!
¡Ay de los valientes para beber vino, y de los fuertes para mezclar bebida fuerte,
23 For you justify an impious man in exchange for bribes, and you carry away the justice of a just man from him.
de los que por soborno absuelven al culpable, y a los inocentes les quitan sus derechos!
24 Because of this, as the tongue of fire devours stubble, and as the heat of a flame burns it completely, so will their root become like glowing embers, and so will their offshoot ascend like dust. For they have cast aside the law of the Lord of hosts, and they have blasphemed the eloquence of the Holy One of Israel.
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.
25 For this reason, the fury of the Lord has been enraged against his people, and he has extended his hand over them, and he has struck them. And the mountains were disturbed. And their carcasses became like dung in the midst of the streets. After all this, his fury was not turned away; instead, his hand was still extended.
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.
26 And he will lift up a sign to nations far away, and he will whistle to them from the ends of the earth. And behold, they will rush forward speedily.
Alzará pendón a una nación distante. Silbará para ello desde los fines de la tierra: ¡Miren cómo viene rápida y veloz!
27 There is no one weak or struggling among them. They will not become drowsy, and they will not sleep. Neither will the belt around their waist be loosened, nor the laces of their boots be broken.
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.
28 Their arrows are sharp, and all their bows are taut. The hoofs of their horses are like flint, and their wheels are like the force of a tempest.
Sus flechas están afiladas y todos sus arcos entesados. Los cascos de sus caballos son pedernal, y las ruedas de sus carruajes como tempestad.
29 Their roaring is like the lion; they will roar like young lions. They will both roar and seize their prey. And they will wrap themselves around it, and there will be no one who can rescue it.
Su rugido es de león. Ruge como los leoncillos. Gruñe, atrapa la presa y la retiene. Nadie se la arrebata.
30 And in that day, they will make a noise over it, like the sound of the sea. We will gaze out toward the land, and behold, the darkness of the tribulation, and even the light has been darkened by its gloom.
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.
