Isaiah 5
1 I will sing to my beloved the canticle of my paternal cousin, about his vineyard. A vineyard was made for my beloved, at the horn in the son of oil.
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。
2 And he fenced it in, and he picked the stones out of it, and he planted it with the best vines, and he built a tower in the middle of it, and he set up a winepress within it. And he expected it to produce grapes, but it produced wild vines.
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。
3 Now then, inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah: judge between me and my vineyard.
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。
4 What more should I have done for my vineyard that I did not do for it? Should I not have expected it to produce grapes, though it produced wild vines?
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？
5 And now, I will reveal to you what I will do to my vineyard. I will take away its fence, and it will be plundered. I will pull down its wall, and it will be trampled.
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。
6 And I will make it desolate. It will not be pruned, and it will not be dug. And briers and thorns will rise up. And I will command the clouds not to rain upon it.
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。
7 For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel. And the man of Judah is his delightful seedling. And I expected that he would do judgment, and behold iniquity, and that he would do justice, and behold an outcry.
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。
8 Woe to you who join house to house, and who combine field to field, even to the limits of the place! Do you intend to live alone in the midst of the earth?
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。
9 These things are in my ears, says the Lord of hosts. Otherwise, many houses, great and beautiful, will become desolate, without an inhabitant.
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。
10 Then ten acres of vineyard will produce one small bottle of wine, and thirty measures of seed will produce three measures of grain.
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。
11 Woe to you who rise up in the morning to pursue drunkenness, and to drink even until evening, so as to be inflamed with wine.
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。
12 Harp and lyre and timbrel and pipe, as well as wine, are at your feasts. But you do not respect the work of the Lord, nor do you consider the works of his hands.
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。
13 Because of this, my people have been led away as captives, for they did not have knowledge, and their nobles have passed away from famine, and their multitudes have dried up from thirst.
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。
14 For this reason, Hell has expanded its soul, and has opened its mouth without any limits. And their strong ones, and their people, and their exalted and glorious ones will descend into it. (Sheol h7585)
故此，阴间扩张其欲， 开了无限量的口； 他们的荣耀、群众、繁华， 并快乐的人都落在其中。 (Sheol h7585)
15 And man will be bowed down, and man will be humbled, and the eyes of the exalted will be brought low.
卑贱人被压服； 尊贵人降为卑； 眼目高傲的人也降为卑。
16 And the Lord of hosts will be exalted in judgment, and the holy God will be sanctified in justice.
惟有万军之耶和华因公平而崇高； 圣者 神因公义显为圣。
17 And the lambs will pasture in proper order, and new arrivals will eat from the deserts turned into fertile lands.
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。
18 Woe to you who draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and who draw sin as if with the rope of a cart,
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，
19 and who say: “Let him hurry, and let his work arrive soon, so that we may see it. And let the plan of the Holy One of Israel approach and arrive, so that we may know it.”
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。
20 Woe to you who call evil good, and good evil; who substitute darkness for light, and light for darkness; who exchange bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
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。
21 Woe to you who are wise in your own eyes, and prudent in your own sight!
祸哉！那些自以为有智慧， 自看为通达的人。
22 Woe to you who are powerful at drinking wine, who are strong men in contriving inebriation!
祸哉！那些勇于饮酒， 以能力调浓酒的人。
23 For you justify an impious man in exchange for bribes, and you carry away the justice of a just man from him.
他们因受贿赂，就称恶人为义， 将义人的义夺去。
24 Because of this, as the tongue of fire devours stubble, and as the heat of a flame burns it completely, so will their root become like glowing embers, and so will their offshoot ascend like dust. For they have cast aside the law of the Lord of hosts, and they have blasphemed the eloquence of the Holy One of Israel.
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。
25 For this reason, the fury of the Lord has been enraged against his people, and he has extended his hand over them, and he has struck them. And the mountains were disturbed. And their carcasses became like dung in the midst of the streets. After all this, his fury was not turned away; instead, his hand was still extended.
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。
26 And he will lift up a sign to nations far away, and he will whistle to them from the ends of the earth. And behold, they will rush forward speedily.
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。
27 There is no one weak or struggling among them. They will not become drowsy, and they will not sleep. Neither will the belt around their waist be loosened, nor the laces of their boots be broken.
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。
28 Their arrows are sharp, and all their bows are taut. The hoofs of their horses are like flint, and their wheels are like the force of a tempest.
他们的箭快利， 弓也上了弦。 马蹄算如坚石， 车轮好像旋风。
29 Their roaring is like the lion; they will roar like young lions. They will both roar and seize their prey. And they will wrap themselves around it, and there will be no one who can rescue it.
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。
30 And in that day, they will make a noise over it, like the sound of the sea. We will gaze out toward the land, and behold, the darkness of the tribulation, and even the light has been darkened by its gloom.
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。
