以賽亞書 5
1 我要為我所親愛的唱歌， 是我所愛者的歌，論他葡萄園的事： 我所親愛的有葡萄園在肥美的山岡上。
I will sing now for my beloved, the song of my dear one touching his vineyard. A vineyard had my beloved on a rich hill-top;
2 他刨挖園子，撿去石頭， 栽種上等的葡萄樹， 在園中蓋了一座樓， 又鑿出壓酒池； 指望結好葡萄， 反倒結了野葡萄。
And he fenced it in, and cleared it of stones, and planted it with the choicest vines, and built a tower in its midst, and also a winepress he hewed out therein: and he hoped that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth worthless fruit.
3 耶路撒冷的居民和猶大人哪， 請你們現今在我與我的葡萄園中，斷定是非。
And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, between me and my vineyard.
4 我為我葡萄園所做之外， 還有甚麼可做的呢？ 我指望結好葡萄， 怎麼倒結了野葡萄呢？
What more was to be done to my vineyard, that I had not done in it? Why then did I hope that it should bring forth grapes, while it brought forth worthless fruit?
5 現在我告訴你們， 我要向我葡萄園怎樣行： 我必撤去籬笆，使它被吞滅， 拆毀牆垣，使它被踐踏。
And now I will let you know also what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away its hedge, and it shall be eaten off; I will break down its wall, and it shall be trodden down;
6 我必使它荒廢，不再修理， 不再鋤刨，荊棘蒺藜倒要生長。 我也必命雲不降雨在其上。
And I will lay it quite waste; it shall not be pruned, nor hoed around; and it shall be overgrown with briers and thorns; and the clouds will I command that they send down no rain upon it.
7 萬軍之耶和華的葡萄園就是以色列家； 他所喜愛的樹就是猶大人。 他指望的是公平， 誰知倒有暴虐； 指望的是公義， 誰知倒有冤聲。
For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah are the plant of his delight: and he hoped for justice, but behold injustice; for equity, but behold iniquity.
8 禍哉！那些以房接房， 以地連地， 以致不留餘地的， 只顧自己獨居境內。
Woe unto those that cause house to join on house, bring field near to field, till there is no more room, so that ye may be left alone as the inhabitants in the midst of the land!
9 我耳聞萬軍之耶和華說： 必有許多又大又美的房屋 成為荒涼，無人居住。
In my ears [spoke] the Lord of hosts, Truly many houses shall become desolate, yea, great and beautiful ones without an inhabitant.
10 三十畝葡萄園只出一罷特酒； 一賀梅珥穀種只結一伊法糧食。
Yea, ten acres of vineyard shall yield [but] one bath, and a chomer-seed shall yield [but] an ephah.
11 禍哉！那些清早起來追求濃酒， 留連到夜深，甚至因酒發燒的人。
Woe unto those that rise up early in the morning, that they may run after strong drink; that continue until late in the twilight, till wine inflame them!
12 他們在筵席上 彈琴，鼓瑟，擊鼓，吹笛，飲酒， 卻不顧念耶和華的作為， 也不留心他手所做的。
And there are harp and psaltery, tambourine and flute, and wine at their drinking-feasts; but the deeds of the Lord they regard not, and the works of his hands they behold not.
13 所以，我的百姓因無知就被擄去； 他們的尊貴人甚是飢餓， 群眾極其乾渴。
Therefore are my people led into exile, for want of knowledge: and their honorable men suffer of famine, and their multitude are panting with thirst.
Therefore hath the deep enlarged her desire, and opened her mouth without measure: and there descend [Jerusalem's] glory, and her multitude, and her noise, and whoever rejoiced therein. (Sheol h7585)
15 卑賤人被壓服； 尊貴人降為卑； 眼目高傲的人也降為卑。
And bent down shall be the son of earth, and humbled shall be the man, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled;
16 惟有萬軍之耶和華因公平而崇高； 聖者上帝因公義顯為聖。
And the Lord of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and the holy God shall be sanctified by [displaying his] righteousness.
17 那時，羊羔必來吃草，如同在自己的草場； 豐肥人的荒場被遊行的人吃盡。
Then shall the sheep feed according to their wont, and the ruins of the fat ones shall sojourners eat.
18 禍哉！那些以虛假之細繩牽罪孽的人！ 他們又像以套繩拉罪惡，
Woe unto those that draw iniquity with the cords of falsehood, and as with a wagon-rope, sinfulness;
19 說：任他急速行，趕快成就他的作為， 使我們看看； 任以色列聖者所謀劃的臨近成就， 使我們知道。
That say, Let him make speed, let him hasten his work, that we may see it: and let draw nigh and come the counsel of the Holy One of Israel, that we may know it!
20 禍哉！那些稱惡為善，稱善為惡， 以暗為光，以光為暗， 以苦為甜，以甜為苦的人。
Woe unto those that say of the evil it is good, and of the good it is evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
21 禍哉！那些自以為有智慧， 自看為通達的人。
Woe unto those that are wise in their own eyes, and intelligent in their own esteem!
22 禍哉！那些勇於飲酒， 以能力調濃酒的人。
Woe unto those that are heroes to drink wine, and men of might to mingle strong drink;
23 他們因受賄賂，就稱惡人為義， 將義人的義奪去。
Who justify the wicked in lieu of a bribe, and who deprive the righteous of their right!
24 火苗怎樣吞滅碎詡， 乾草怎樣落在火焰之中， 照樣，他們的根必像朽物， 他們的花必像灰塵飛騰； 因為他們厭棄萬軍之耶和華的訓誨， 藐視以色列聖者的言語。
Therefore as the tongue of the fire devoureth the stubble, and dry hay sinketh before the flame: so shall their root be as rotten things, and their blossom shall fly up as the dust; because they have despised the law of the Lord of hosts, and the word of the Holy One of Israel they have rejected.
25 所以，耶和華的怒氣向他的百姓發作。 他的手伸出攻擊他們，山嶺就震動； 他們的屍首在街市上好像糞土。 雖然如此，他的怒氣還未轉消； 他的手仍伸不縮。
For this cause is kindled the anger of the Lord against his people, and he stretcheth forth his hand against them, and he smiteth them; and the mountains tremble, and their carcasses lie like sweepings in the midst of the streets: with all this his anger is not turned away, but still is his hand stretched out.
26 他必豎立大旗，招遠方的國民， 發嘶聲叫他們從地極而來； 看哪，他們必急速奔來。
And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from afar, and will call for one of them from the end of the earth; and, behold, with speed, swiftly, it cometh;
27 其中沒有疲倦的，絆跌的； 沒有打盹的，睡覺的； 腰帶並不放鬆， 鞋帶也不折斷。
There is none weary, nor stumbling among its men; it slumbereth not, it sleepeth not; not loosened is the girdle of its loins, not broken is the latchet of its shoes;
28 他們的箭快利， 弓也上了弦。 馬蹄算如堅石， 車輪好像旋風。
Whose arrows are sharpened, and all whose bows are bent; its horses hoofs are hard like the flint, and its wheels like the whirlwind;
29 他們要吼叫，像母獅子， 咆哮，像少壯獅子； 他們要咆哮抓食， 坦然叼去，無人救回。
It hath a roar like the lioness, it roareth like the young lions: yea, it growleth, and layeth hold of the prey, and carrieth it safely off, with none to deliver.
30 那日，他們要向以色列人吼叫， 像海浪匉訇； 人若望地，只見黑暗艱難， 光明在雲中變為昏暗。
And it will rage against them on that day like with the raging of the sea: and if one look unto the earth, behold, there is darkness, oppression, and the light is darkened through the darkness of its clouds.
