Isaiah 5
1 Now will I sing to my beloued a song of my beloued to his vineyarde, My beloued had a vineyarde in a very fruitefull hill,
我要為我的愛友謳唱一首論及他葡萄園的愛歌：我的愛友有一座葡萄園，位於肥沃的山岡上；
2 And hee hedged it, and gathered out the stones of it, and he planted it with the best plants, and hee builte a towre in the middes thereof, and made a wine presse therein: then hee looked that it should bring foorth grapes: but it brought foorth wilde grapes.
他翻掘了土地，除去了石塊，栽上了精選的葡萄樹，園中築了一座守望台，又鑿了一個榨酒池：原希望它結好葡萄，它反倒結了野葡萄。
3 Now therefore, O inhabitants of Ierusalem and men of Iudah, iudge, I pray you, betweene me, and my vineyarde.
耶路撒冷的居民和猶大人啊！現在請你們在我與我葡萄園之間，判別是非：
4 What coulde I haue done any more to my vineyard that I haue not done vnto it? why haue I looked that it should bring foorth grapes, and it bringeth foorth wilde grapes?
我為我的葡萄園所能做的，還有什麼沒有做到﹖我原希望它結好葡萄，為什麼卻結了野葡萄﹖
5 And nowe I will tell you what I will do to my vineyarde: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten vp: I will breake the wall thereof, and it shall be troden downe:
現在我要告訴你們，我將怎樣對待我的葡萄園：我必撤去它的籬笆，讓它被吞噬；拆毀它的圍牆，讓它受踐踏；
6 And I will laye it waste: it shall not be cut, nor digged, but briers, and thornes shall growe vp: I will also commande the cloudes that they raine no raine vpon it.
我要使他變成荒地，不再修剪，不再耕鋤，荊棘和蒺藜將叢叢而生；並且我要命令雲彩不再在它上降下時雨。
7 Surely the vineyard of the Lord of hostes is the house of Israel, and the men of Iudah are his pleasant plant, and hee looked for iudgement, but beholde oppression: for righteousnesse, but beholde a crying.
萬軍上主的葡萄園就是以色列家，而猶大人即是他鍾愛的幼苗。他原希望正義，看，竟是流血；他原希望公平，看，卻是冤聲！
8 Woe vnto them that ioyne house to house, and laye fielde to fielde, till there bee no place, that ye may be placed by your selues in the mids of the earth.
禍哉，你們這些使房屋毗連房屋，田地接連田地，而只讓你們自己單獨住在那地域內的人！
9 This is in mine cares, saith the Lord of hostes. Surely many houses shall be desolate, euen great, and faire without inhabitant.
萬軍的上主在我耳邊宣誓說：那許多房屋必將成為廢墟；巍峨華麗的，必無人居住；
10 For ten acres of vines shall yelde one bath, and the seede of an homer shall yelde an ephah.
十畝葡萄園將只出一「巴特」酒，一「曷默爾」種子，只出一「厄法」穀。
11 Wo vnto them, that rise vp early to follow drunkennes, and to them that continue vntill night, till the wine doe inflame them.
禍哉，那些早晨一起來即追求烈酒，留連至深夜，飲至酒酣耳熱的人！
12 And the harpe and viole, timbrel, and pipe, and wine are in their feastes: but they regard not the worke of the Lord, neither consider the worke of his handes.
在他們的宴會上只有琴、瑟、手鼓、管笛和酒。卻沒有人注視上主的作為，沒有人留意他手中的工作：
13 Therefore my people is gone into captiuitie, because they had no knowledge, and the glorie thereof are men famished, and the multitude thereof is dried vp with thirst.
因此，我的百姓必因無知而被放逐，顯貴必將餓得要死，民眾必將渴得要命。
14 Therefore hell hath inlarged it selfe, and hath opened his mouth, without measure, and their glorie, and their multitude, and their pompe, and hee that reioyceth among them, shall descend into it. (Sheol h7585)
為此，陰府張大了咽喉，敞開了無限的大口，顯貴、群眾以及那些喧嘩宴樂的人，都要落在裏面。 (Sheol h7585)
15 And man shalbe brought downe, and man shalbe humbled, euen the eyes of the proude shalbe humbled.
人必將屈服，人必被抑制，目空一切的人必低首下心。
16 And the Lord of hostes shalbe exalted in iudgement, and the holy God shalbe sanctified in iustice.
萬軍的上主必因正義而受尊崇，至聖的天主必因公平而顯為聖。
17 Then shall the lambes feede after their maner, and the strangers shall eate the desolate places of the fat.
羔羊要在那裏吃草，有如在自己的草場上；肥羊要在荒田裏吃草。
18 Woe vnto them, that draw iniquitie with cordes of vanitie, and sinne, as with cart ropes:
禍哉，那些用牛犢的韁繩引來邪惡，用牛車的繩索勾出罪孽的人，
19 Which say, Let him make speede: let him hasten his worke, that wee may see it: and let the counsell of the holy one of Israel draw neere and come, that we may knowe it.
和那些說：「願他趕快，迅速完成他的工作，好使我們看看；願以色列聖者的決策盡速執行，好使我們知道」的人！
20 Woe vnto them that speake good of euill, and euill of good, which put darkenes for light, and light for darkenes, that put bitter for sweete, and sweete for sowre.
禍哉，那些稱惡為善，稱善為惡；以暗為光，以光為暗；以苦為甘，以甘為苦的人！
21 Woe vnto them that are wise in their owne eyes, and prudent in their owne sight.
禍哉，那些自視為聰明和自以為通達的人！
22 Wo vnto them that are mightie to drinke wine, and to them that are strong to powre in strong drinke:
禍哉，那些飲酒的英雄，調酒的壯士！
23 Which iustifie the wicked for a rewarde, and take away the righteousnesse of the righteous from him.
那些受賄釋放罪人，奪取義人權利的人！
24 Therefore as the flame of fire deuoureth the stubble, and as the chaffe is cosumed of the flame: so their roote shalbe as rottennesse, and their bud shall rise vp like dust, because they haue cast off the Lawe of the Lord of hostes, and contemned the word of the holy one of Israel.
因此，他們必如捲入火舌中的禾湝，焚於烈燄中的枯草；他們的根必要糜爛，他們的嫩芽必要如塵埃般的飛揚，因為他們拋棄了萬軍上主的教導，藐視了以色列聖者的訓誨。
25 Therefore is the wrath of the Lord kindled against his people, and hee hath stretched out his hand vpon them, and hath smitten them that the mountaines did tremble: and their carkases were torne in the middes of the streetes, and for all this his wrath was not turned away, but his hande was stretched out still.
為此，上主向自己的百姓大發雷霆，伸出自己的手來打擊他們；其時，山嶽為之震撼，他們的屍體，有如街道上的糞土。然而他的震怒並未因此而息滅，他的手仍然伸著。
26 And he will lift vp a signe vnto the nations a farre, and wil hisse vnto them from the ende of the earth: and beholde, they shall come hastily with speede.
上主要向遠方的異民豎起一面旗幟，好由大地的四極號召他們，看，他們將疾趨前來。
27 None shall faint nor fall among them: none shall slumber nor sleepe, neither shall the girdle of his loynes be loosed, nor the latchet of his shooes be broken:
他們中沒有疲倦的，沒有仆倒的；沒有打盹的，沒有睡覺的；他們的腰帶沒有鬆解，他們的鞋帶也沒有折斷；
28 Whose arrowes shall be sharpe, and all his bowes bent: his horse hoofes shall be thought like flint, and his wheeles like a whirlewinde.
他們的箭矢銳利，他們的弓弩全已張開；他們的馬蹄好似火石，他們的車輪有如旋風；
29 His roaring shalbe like a lyon, and he shall roare like lyons whelpes: they shall roare, and lay holde of the praye: they shall take it away, and none shall deliuer it.
他們怒吼有如母獅，吼叫有如幼獅；他們咆哮攫食，攜之而去，無人予以挽救。
30 And in that day they shall roare vpon them, as the roaring of the sea: and if they looke vnto the earth, beholde darkenesse, and sorowe, and the light shalbe darkened in their skie.
那一日，他們必如海嘯般向這民族怒號。人若注視大地，看，盡是黑暗痛苦；光明遮蔽在密雲中，成了晦暗。
