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 about his vineyard. My well beloved had a vineyard on a very fertile 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。
He spaded it, removed the stones, and planted it with an excellent kind of vine. He built a tower in the middle of it, and also built a winepress. He waited for it to produce grapes, but it only produced 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。
So now, inhabitant of Jerusalem and man of Judah, 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 more could have been done for my vineyard, that I have not done for it? When I looked for it to produce grapes, why did it produce 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。
Now I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will remove the hedge, I will turn it into a pasture, I will break down its wall, and it will be trampled 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。
I will lay it waste, and it will not be pruned nor hoed. Instead, briers and thorns will spring up. I will also command the clouds not to rain on 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 Yahweh of hosts is the house of Israel, and the man of Judah his pleasant planting; he waited for justice, but instead, there was killing; for righteousness, but, instead, a shout for help.
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 join field to field, until no room remains, and you alone remain in 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。
Yahweh of hosts told me, many houses will be empty, even great and impressive ones, without any 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 a ten-yoke vineyard will yield only one bath, and one homer of seed will yield only 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 to obtain strong drink, those who linger late into the night until wine inflames 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。
They banquet with harp, lute, tambourine, flute, and wine, but they do not recognize the work of Yahweh, nor have they considered the doings 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 understanding; their honored leaders go hungry, and their common people have nothing to drink.
Therefore Sheol has made its appetite greater and has opened its mouth very wide; their elite, the people, their leaders, and the revelers and those who are happy among them, descend into Sheol. (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。
Man will be forced to bend down, and mankind will be humbled; the eyes of the lofty will be cast down.
16 惟有万军之耶和华因公平而崇高； 圣者 神因公义显为圣。
Yahweh of hosts will be exalted in his justice, and God the Holy One will show himself holy by his 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 sheep will feed as in their own pasture, and in the ruins, lambs will graze as foreigners.
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 pull along iniquity with useless cords and who pull along sin as if 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。
Woe to those who say, “Let God hurry, let him act quickly, so we can see it happen; and let the plans of the Holy One of Israel come, so that we may know them.”
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 represent darkness as light, and light as darkness; who represent bitter as sweet, and sweet as 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 understanding!
22 祸哉！那些勇于饮酒， 以能力调浓酒的人。
Woe to those who are champions at drinking wine, and masters at mixing strong drinks;
23 他们因受贿赂，就称恶人为义， 将义人的义夺去。
who acquit the wicked for payment, and deprive the innocent of his rights!
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 stubble, and as the dry grass goes down in flame, so their root will rot, and their blossom will blow away like dust. This will happen because they have rejected the law of Yahweh of hosts, and because they have 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 Yahweh is kindled against his people. He has reached out with his hand against them and has punished them. The mountains tremble, and their corpses are like garbage in the streets. In all these things, his anger does not subside; instead, his hand is still stretched out.
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。
He will lift up a signal flag for far away nations and will whistle for those at the end of the earth. Look, they will come speedily and promptly.
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 tire or stumble among them; none slumbers or sleeps. Nor are their belts loose, or the thongs of their sandals 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。
Their arrows are sharp and all their bows are bent; their horses' hooves are like flint, and their chariot wheels like storms.
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 will be like a lion; they will roar like young lions. They will growl and seize the prey and drag it away, with none to rescue.
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。
On that day they will roar against the prey as the sea roars. If anyone looks over the land, he will see darkness and suffering; even the light will be made dark by the clouds.
