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。
Now I will sing to [my] beloved a song of my beloved concerning my vineyard. [My] beloved had a vineyard on a high hill in a fertile place.
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 I made a hedge round it, and dug a trench, and planted a choice vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and dug a place for the wine-vat in it: and I waited [for it] to bring forth grapes, and it brought forth thorns.
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, you dwellers in Jerusalem, and [every] man of Juda, judge 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 shall I do any more to my vineyard, that I have not done to it? Whereas I expected [it] to bring forth grapes, but it has brought forth thorns.
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 its hedge, and it shall be for a spoil; and I will pull down its walls, and it shall be [left] to 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 forsake my vineyard; and it shall not be pruned, nor dug, and thorns shall come up upon it as on barren land; and I will command the clouds to 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 the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Juda [his] beloved plant: I expected [it] to bring forth judgment, and it brought forth iniquity; and not righteousness, but 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 them] that join house to house, and add field to field, that they may take away something of their neighbor's: will you dwell alone upon 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。
For these things have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts: for though many houses should be built, many and fair houses shall be desolate, and there shall be no inhabitants in them.
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 where ten yoke of oxen plow [the land] shall yield one, and he that sows six homers shall produce three measures.
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 them] that rise up in the morning, and follow strong drink; who wait [at it till] evening: for the wine shall 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。
For they drink wine with harp, and lute, and drums, and pipes: but they regard not the works of the Lord, and consider not the works 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 been taken captive, because they know not the Lord: and there has been a multitude of dead [bodies], because of hunger and of thirst for water.
Therefore hell has enlarged its desire and opened its mouth without ceasing: and her glorious and great, and her rich and her pestilent men shall go down [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 mean man shall be brought low, and the great man shall be disgraced, and the lofty eyes shall be brought low.
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 the Lord of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and the holy God shall be glorified 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。
And they that were spoiled shall be fed as bulls, and lambs shall feed on the waste places of them that are taken away.
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 them] that draw sins to them as with a long rope, and iniquities as with a thong of the heifer's yoke:
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 speedily hasten what he will do, that we may see [it]: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel 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 them] that call evil good, and good evil; who make darkness light, and light darkness; who make bitter sweet, and sweet bitter.
21 祸哉！那些自以为有智慧， 自看为通达的人。
Woe [to them] that are wise in their own conceit, and knowing in their own sight.
22 祸哉！那些勇于饮酒， 以能力调浓酒的人。
Woe to the strong [ones] of you that drink wine, and the mighty [ones] that 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 ungodly for rewards, and take away the righteousness of the righteous.
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 stubble shall be burnt by a coal of fire, and shall be consumed by a violent flame, their root shall be as chaff, and their flower shall go up as dust: for they rejected the law of the Lord of hosts, and insulted 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 Lord of hosts was greatly angered against his people, and he reached forth his hand upon them, and struck them: and the mountains were troubled, and their carcasses were as dung in the midst of the way: yet for all this his anger has not been turned away, but his hand is yet raised.
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。
Therefore shall he lift up a signal to the nations that are afar, and shall hiss for them from the end of the earth; and, behold, they are coming very quickly.
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。
They shall not hunger nor be weary, neither shall they slumber nor sleep; neither shall they loose their girdles from their loins, neither shall their shoe-latchets 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 their bows bent; their horses' hoofs are counted as solid rock: their chariot-wheels are as a storm.
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。
They rage as lions, and draw near as a lion's whelps: and he shall seize, and roar as a wild beast, and he shall cast [them] forth, and there shall be none to deliver them.
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 he shall roar on account of them in that day, as the sound of the swelling sea; and they shall look to the land, and, behold, [there shall be] thick darkness in their perplexity.
