以赛亚书 5
1 我要为我所亲爱的唱歌， 是我所爱者的歌，论他葡萄园的事： 我所亲爱的有葡萄园在肥美的山冈上。
Let me sing for my well-beloved a song of my beloved concerning his vineyard. My well-beloved had a vineyard in a very fruitful hill.
2 他刨挖园子，捡去石头， 栽种上等的葡萄树， 在园中盖了一座楼， 又凿出压酒池； 指望结好葡萄， 反倒结了野葡萄。
And he dug it, and gathered out the stones of it, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also hewed out a winepress in it. And he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes.
3 耶路撒冷的居民和犹大人哪， 请你们现今在我与我的葡萄园中，断定是非。
And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, between me and my vineyard.
4 我为我葡萄园所做之外， 还有什么可做的呢？ 我指望结好葡萄， 怎么倒结了野葡萄呢？
What could have been done more to my vineyard that I have not done in it? Why, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, it brought forth wild grapes?
5 现在我告诉你们， 我要向我葡萄园怎样行： 我必撤去篱笆，使它被吞灭， 拆毁墙垣，使它被践踏。
And now I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard. I will take away the hedge of it, and it shall be eaten up. I will break down the wall of it, and it shall be trodden down.
6 我必使它荒废，不再修理， 不再锄刨，荆棘蒺藜倒要生长。 我也必命云不降雨在其上。
And I will lay it waste. It shall not be pruned nor hoed, but there shall come up briers and thorns. I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.
7 万军之耶和华的葡萄园就是以色列家； 他所喜爱的树就是犹大人。 他指望的是公平， 谁知倒有暴虐； 指望的是公义， 谁知倒有冤声。
For the vineyard of Jehovah of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant. And he looked for justice, but behold, oppression, for righteousness, but behold, a cry.
8 祸哉！那些以房接房， 以地连地， 以致不留余地的， 只顾自己独居境内。
Woe to those who join house to house, who lay field to field, till there is no room, and ye be made to dwell alone in the midst of the land!
9 我耳闻万军之耶和华说： 必有许多又大又美的房屋 成为荒凉，无人居住。
In my ears says Jehovah of hosts, of a truth many houses shall be desolate, even great and fair, without inhabitant.
10 三十亩葡萄园只出一罢特酒； 一贺梅珥谷种只结一伊法粮食。
For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and a homer of seed shall yield but an ephah.
11 祸哉！那些清早起来追求浓酒， 留连到夜深，甚至因酒发烧的人。
Woe to those who rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink, who tarry late into the night, till wine inflame them!
12 他们在筵席上 弹琴，鼓瑟，击鼓，吹笛，饮酒， 却不顾念耶和华的作为， 也不留心他手所做的。
And the harp and the lute, the tambourine and the pipe, and wine, are in their feasts, but they do not regard the work of Jehovah, nor have they considered the operation of his hands.
13 所以，我的百姓因无知就被掳去； 他们的尊贵人甚是饥饿， 群众极其干渴。
Therefore my people have gone into captivity for lack of knowledge, and their honorable men are famished, and their multitude are parched with thirst.
Therefore Sheol has enlarged its desire, and opened its mouth without measure. And their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he who rejoices among them, descend into it. (Sheol h7585)
15 卑贱人被压服； 尊贵人降为卑； 眼目高傲的人也降为卑。
And the common man is bowed down, and the great man is debased, and the eyes of the lofty are humbled,
16 惟有万军之耶和华因公平而崇高； 圣者 神因公义显为圣。
but Jehovah of hosts is exalted in justice, and God the Holy One is sanctified in righteousness.
17 那时，羊羔必来吃草，如同在自己的草场； 丰肥人的荒场被游行的人吃尽。
Then the lambs shall feed as in their pasture, and wanderers shall eat the waste places of the fat ones.
18 祸哉！那些以虚假之细绳牵罪孽的人！ 他们又像以套绳拉罪恶，
Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of falsehood, and sin as it were with a cart rope,
19 说：任他急速行，赶快成就他的作为， 使我们看看； 任以色列圣者所谋划的临近成就， 使我们知道。
who say, Let him make speed, let him 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 祸哉！那些称恶为善，称善为恶， 以暗为光，以光为暗， 以苦为甜，以甜为苦的人。
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 祸哉！那些自以为有智慧， 自看为通达的人。
Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
22 祸哉！那些勇于饮酒， 以能力调浓酒的人。
Woe to those who are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink,
23 他们因受贿赂，就称恶人为义， 将义人的义夺去。
who justify the wicked for rewards, and take away the justice of the righteous man from him!
24 火苗怎样吞灭碎秸， 干草怎样落在火焰之中， 照样，他们的根必像朽物， 他们的花必像灰尘飞腾； 因为他们厌弃万军之耶和华的训诲， 藐视以色列圣者的言语。
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 Jehovah of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
25 所以，耶和华的怒气向他的百姓发作。 他的手伸出攻击他们，山岭就震动； 他们的尸首在街市上好像粪土。 虽然如此，他的怒气还未转消； 他的手仍伸不缩。
Therefore the anger of Jehovah is kindled against his people, and he has stretched forth his hand against them, and has smitten them. And the mountains tremble, and their dead bodies are as refuse in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
26 他必竖立大旗，招远方的国民， 发嘶声叫他们从地极而来； 看哪，他们必急速奔来。
And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and will whistle for them from the end of the earth, and, behold, they shall come with speed swiftly.
27 其中没有疲倦的，绊跌的； 没有打盹的，睡觉的； 腰带并不放松， 鞋带也不折断。
None shall be weary nor stumble among them. None shall slumber nor sleep, nor shall the belt of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken,
28 他们的箭快利， 弓也上了弦。 马蹄算如坚石， 车轮好像旋风。
whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent. Their horses' hoofs shall be accounted as flint, and their wheels as a whirlwind.
29 他们要吼叫，像母狮子， 咆哮，像少壮狮子； 他们要咆哮抓食， 坦然叼去，无人救回。
Their roaring shall be like a lioness. They shall roar like young lions. Yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and carry it away safe, and there shall be none to deliver.
30 那日，他们要向以色列人吼叫， 像海浪匉訇； 人若望地，只见黑暗艰难， 光明在云中变为昏暗。
And they shall roar against them in that day like the roaring of the sea. And if a man looks to the land, behold, darkness and distress, and the light is darkened in the clouds of it.
