Isaías 5
Nueva Versión Internacional (Castilian)
El canto a la viña
5 Cantaré en nombre de mi amigo querido
una canción dedicada a su viña.
Mi amigo querido tenía una viña
en una ladera fértil.
2 La cavó, la limpió de piedras
y la plantó de las mejores cepas.
Edificó una torre en medio de ella
y además preparó un lagar.
Él esperaba que diera buenas uvas,
pero acabó dando uvas agrias.
3 Y ahora, hombres de Judá,
habitantes de Jerusalén,
juzgad entre mi viña y yo.
4 ¿Qué más se podría hacer por mi viña
que yo no haya hecho?
Yo esperaba que diera buenas uvas;
¿por qué dio uvas agrias?
5 Voy a deciros
lo que haré con mi viña:
Le quitaré su cerco, y será destruida;
derribaré su muro, y será pisoteada.
6 La dejaré desolada,
y no será podada ni cultivada;
le crecerán espinos y cardos.
Mandaré que las nubes
no lluevan sobre ella.
7 La viña del Señor Todopoderoso es el pueblo de Israel;
los hombres de Judá son su huerto preferido.
Él esperaba justicia,
pero encontró ríos de sangre;
esperaba rectitud,
pero encontró gritos de angustia.
Maldiciones contra los explotadores
8 ¡Ay de aquellos que acaparan casa tras casa
y se apropian de campo tras campo
hasta que no dejan lugar para nadie más,
y terminan viviendo solos en el país!
9 El Señor Todopoderoso me ha dicho al oído:
«Muchas casas quedarán desoladas,
y no habrá quien habite las grandes mansiones.
10 Tres hectáreas de viña solo producirán un tonel,
y diez medidas de semilla
darán tan solo una».[a]
11 ¡Ay de los que madrugan
para ir tras bebidas embriagadoras,
que se quedan hasta muy tarde
embriagándose con vino!
12 En sus banquetes hay vino y arpas,
liras, tambores y flautas;
pero no se fijan en los hechos del Señor
ni tienen en cuenta las obras de sus manos.
13 Por eso mi pueblo será exiliado,
porque no me conoce;
sus nobles perecerán de hambre
y la multitud se morirá de sed.
14 Por eso el sepulcro ensancha su garganta,
y desmesuradamente abre sus fauces.
Allí bajan nobles y plebeyos,
con sus juergas y diversiones.
15 El hombre será humillado,
la humanidad, doblegada,
y abatidos los ojos altivos.
16 Pero el Señor Todopoderoso será exaltado en justicia,
el Dios santo se mostrará santo en rectitud.
17 Los corderos pastarán como en praderas propias,
y las cabras[b] comerán entre las ruinas de los ricos.
18 ¡Ay de los que arrastran iniquidad con cuerdas de mentira,
y el pecado con sogas de carreta!
19 Dicen: «¡Que Dios se apure,
que apresure su obra
para que la veamos;
que se acerque y se cumpla
el plan del Santo de Israel,
para que lo conozcamos!»
20 ¡Ay de los que llaman a lo malo bueno
y a lo bueno malo,
que tienen las tinieblas por luz
y la luz por tinieblas,
que tienen lo amargo por dulce
y lo dulce por amargo!
21 ¡Ay de los que se consideran sabios,
de los que se creen inteligentes!
22 ¡Ay de los valientes para beber vino,
de los arrogantes que mezclan bebidas embriagadoras,
23 de los que por soborno absuelven al culpable,
y le niegan sus derechos al indefenso!
24 Por eso, así como las lenguas de fuego devoran la paja
y el pasto seco se consume en las llamas,
su raíz se pudrirá
y como el polvo se disipará su flor.
Porque han rechazado la ley del Señor Todopoderoso
y han desdeñado la palabra del Santo de Israel.
25 Por eso se enciende la ira del Señor contra su pueblo,
levanta la mano contra él y lo golpea;
las montañas se estremecen,
los cadáveres quedan como basura
en medio de las calles.
Con todo, no se aplacó su ira,
y su brazo aún sigue extendido.
26 Con una bandera le hará señas a una nación lejana,
con un silbido la llamará desde el extremo de la tierra,
y esta nación llegará presta y veloz.
27 Ninguno de ellos se cansa ni tropieza,
ni dormita ni se duerme;
a ninguno se le afloja el cinturón
ni se le rompe la correa de las sandalias.
28 Sus flechas son puntiagudas,
tensos todos sus arcos;
parecen pedernal los cascos de sus caballos,
y torbellino las ruedas de sus carros.
29 Su rugido es el de una leona,
como el de los leoncillos:
gruñe y atrapa la presa,
y se la lleva sin que nadie se la arrebate.
30 En aquel día bramará contra ella
como brama el mar.
Si alguien contempla la tierra,
la verá sombría y angustiada,
y la luz se ocultará tras negros nubarrones.

God’s Disappointing Vineyard
5 Now let me sing to my Well-beloved
A song of my Beloved (A)regarding His vineyard:
My Well-beloved has a vineyard
[a]On a very fruitful hill.
2 He dug it up and cleared out its stones,
And planted it with the choicest vine.
He built a tower in its midst,
And also [b]made a winepress in it;
(B)So He expected it to bring forth good grapes,
But it brought forth wild grapes.
3 “And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah,
(C)Judge, please, between Me and My vineyard.
4 What more could have been done to My vineyard
That I have not done in (D)it?
Why then, when I expected it to bring forth good grapes,
Did it bring forth wild grapes?
5 And now, please let Me tell you what I will do to My vineyard:
(E)I will take away its hedge, and it shall be burned;
And break down its wall, and it shall be trampled down.
6 I will lay it (F)waste;
It shall not be pruned or [c]dug,
But there shall come up briers and (G)thorns.
I will also command the clouds
That they rain no rain on it.”
7 For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel,
And the men of Judah are His pleasant plant.
He looked for justice, but behold, oppression;
For righteousness, but behold, [d]a cry for help.
Impending Judgment on Excesses
8 Woe to those who [e]join (H)house to house;
They add field to field,
Till there is no place
Where they may dwell alone in the midst of the land!
9 (I)In my hearing the Lord of hosts said,
“Truly, many houses shall be desolate,
Great and beautiful ones, without inhabitant.
10 For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one (J)bath,[f]
And a homer of seed shall yield one [g]ephah.”
11 (K)Woe to those who rise early in the morning,
That they may [h]follow intoxicating drink;
Who continue until night, till wine inflames them!
12 (L)The harp and the strings,
The tambourine and flute,
And wine are in their feasts;
But (M)they do not regard the work of the Lord,
Nor consider the operation of His hands.
13 (N)Therefore my people have gone into captivity,
Because they have no (O)knowledge;
Their honorable men are famished,
And their multitude dried up with thirst.
14 Therefore Sheol has enlarged itself
And opened its mouth beyond measure;
Their glory and their multitude and their pomp,
And he who is jubilant, shall descend into it.
15 People shall be brought down,
(P)Each man shall be humbled,
And the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled.
16 But the Lord of hosts shall be (Q)exalted in judgment,
And God who is holy shall be hallowed in righteousness.
17 Then the lambs shall feed in their pasture,
And in the waste places of (R)the [i]fat ones strangers shall eat.
18 Woe to those who [j]draw iniquity with cords of [k]vanity,
And sin as if with a cart rope;
19 (S)That say, “Let Him make speed and hasten His work,
That we may see it;
And let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw near and come,
That we may know it.”
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 Woe to those who are (T)wise in their own eyes,
And prudent in their own sight!
22 Woe to men mighty at drinking wine,
Woe to men valiant for mixing intoxicating drink,
23 Who (U)justify the wicked for a bribe,
And take away justice from the righteous man!
24 Therefore, (V)as the [l]fire devours the stubble,
And the flame consumes the chaff,
So (W)their root will be as rottenness,
And their blossom will ascend like dust;
Because they have rejected the law of the Lord of hosts,
And despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
25 (X)Therefore the anger of the Lord is aroused against His people;
He has stretched out His hand against them
And stricken them,
And (Y)the hills trembled.
Their carcasses were as refuse in the midst of the streets.
(Z)For all this His anger is not turned away,
But His hand is stretched out still.
26 (AA)He will lift up a banner to the nations from afar,
And will (AB)whistle to them from (AC)the end of the earth;
Surely (AD)they shall come with speed, swiftly.
27 No one will be weary or stumble among them,
No one will slumber or sleep;
Nor (AE)will the belt on their loins be loosed,
Nor the strap of their sandals be broken;
28 (AF)Whose arrows are sharp,
And all their bows bent;
Their horses’ hooves will [m]seem like flint,
And their wheels like a whirlwind.
29 Their roaring will be like a lion,
They will roar like young lions;
Yes, they will roar
And lay hold of the prey;
They will carry it away safely,
And no one will deliver.
30 In that day they will roar against them
Like the roaring of the sea.
And if one (AG)looks to the land,
Behold, darkness and [n]sorrow;
And the light is darkened by the clouds.

The Song of the Vineyard
5 I will sing for the one I love
a song about his vineyard:(A)
My loved one had a vineyard
on a fertile hillside.
2 He dug it up and cleared it of stones
and planted it with the choicest vines.(B)
He built a watchtower(C) in it
and cut out a winepress(D) as well.
Then he looked for a crop of good grapes,
but it yielded only bad fruit.(E)
3 “Now you dwellers in Jerusalem and people of Judah,
judge between me and my vineyard.(F)
4 What more could have been done for my vineyard
than I have done for it?(G)
When I looked for good grapes,
why did it yield only bad?(H)
5 Now I will tell you
what I am going to do to my vineyard:
I will take away its hedge,
and it will be destroyed;(I)
I will break down its wall,(J)
and it will be trampled.(K)
6 I will make it a wasteland,(L)
neither pruned nor cultivated,
and briers and thorns(M) will grow there.
I will command the clouds
not to rain(N) on it.”
7 The vineyard(O) of the Lord Almighty
is the nation of Israel,
and the people of Judah
are the vines he delighted in.
And he looked for justice,(P) but saw bloodshed;
for righteousness,(Q) but heard cries of distress.(R)
Woes and Judgments
8 Woe(S) to you who add house to house
and join field to field(T)
till no space is left
and you live alone in the land.
9 The Lord Almighty(U) has declared in my hearing:(V)
“Surely the great houses will become desolate,(W)
the fine mansions left without occupants.
10 A ten-acre vineyard will produce only a bath[a] of wine;
a homer[b] of seed will yield only an ephah[c] of grain.”(X)
11 Woe(Y) to those who rise early in the morning
to run after their drinks,
who stay up late at night
till they are inflamed with wine.(Z)
12 They have harps and lyres at their banquets,
pipes(AA) and timbrels(AB) and wine,
but they have no regard(AC) for the deeds of the Lord,
no respect for the work of his hands.(AD)
13 Therefore my people will go into exile(AE)
for lack of understanding;(AF)
those of high rank(AG) will die of hunger
and the common people will be parched with thirst.(AH)
14 Therefore Death(AI) expands its jaws,
opening wide its mouth;(AJ)
into it will descend their nobles and masses
with all their brawlers and revelers.(AK)
15 So people will be brought low(AL)
and everyone humbled,(AM)
the eyes of the arrogant(AN) humbled.
16 But the Lord Almighty will be exalted(AO) by his justice,(AP)
and the holy God will be proved holy(AQ) by his righteous acts.
17 Then sheep will graze as in their own pasture;(AR)
lambs will feed[d] among the ruins of the rich.
18 Woe(AS) to those who draw sin along with cords(AT) of deceit,
and wickedness(AU) as with cart ropes,
19 to those who say, “Let God hurry;
let him hasten(AV) his work
so we may see it.
The plan of the Holy One(AW) of Israel—
let it approach, let it come into view,
so we may know it.”(AX)
20 Woe(AY) to those who call evil good(AZ)
and good evil,(BA)
who put darkness for light
and light for darkness,(BB)
who put bitter for sweet
and sweet for bitter.(BC)
21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes(BD)
and clever in their own sight.
22 Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine(BE)
and champions at mixing drinks,(BF)
23 who acquit the guilty for a bribe,(BG)
but deny justice(BH) to the innocent.(BI)
24 Therefore, as tongues of fire(BJ) lick up straw(BK)
and as dry grass sinks down in the flames,
so their roots will decay(BL)
and their flowers blow away like dust;(BM)
for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty
and spurned the word(BN) of the Holy One(BO) of Israel.
25 Therefore the Lord’s anger(BP) burns against his people;
his hand is raised and he strikes them down.
The mountains shake,(BQ)
and the dead bodies(BR) are like refuse(BS) in the streets.(BT)
26 He lifts up a banner(BW) for the distant nations,
he whistles(BX) for those at the ends of the earth.(BY)
Here they come,
swiftly and speedily!
27 Not one of them grows tired(BZ) or stumbles,
not one slumbers or sleeps;
not a belt(CA) is loosened at the waist,(CB)
not a sandal strap is broken.(CC)
28 Their arrows are sharp,(CD)
all their bows(CE) are strung;
their horses’ hooves(CF) seem like flint,
their chariot wheels like a whirlwind.(CG)
29 Their roar is like that of the lion,(CH)
they roar like young lions;
they growl as they seize(CI) their prey
and carry it off with no one to rescue.(CJ)
30 In that day(CK) they will roar over it
like the roaring of the sea.(CL)
And if one looks at the land,
there is only darkness(CM) and distress;(CN)
even the sun will be darkened(CO) by clouds.
