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。
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。
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哪， 請你們現今在我與我的葡萄園中，斷定是非。
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？
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。
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。
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。
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！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。
9 This is in mine cares, saith the Lord of hostes. Surely many houses shall be desolate, euen great, and faire without inhabitant.
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。
10 For ten acres of vines shall yelde one bath, and the seede of an homer shall yelde an ephah.
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。
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！那些清早起來追求濃酒， 留連到夜深，甚至因酒發燒的人。
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.
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。
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.
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。
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)
故此，陰間擴張其欲， 開了無限量的口； 他們的榮耀、群眾、繁華， 並快樂的人都落在其中。 (Sheol h7585)
15 And man shalbe brought downe, and man shalbe humbled, euen the eyes of the proude shalbe humbled.
卑賤人被壓服； 尊貴人降為卑； 眼目高傲的人也降為卑。
16 And the Lord of hostes shalbe exalted in iudgement, and the holy God shalbe sanctified in iustice.
惟有萬軍之耶和華因公平而崇高； 聖者上帝因公義顯為聖。
17 Then shall the lambes feede after their maner, and the strangers shall eate the desolate places of the fat.
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。
18 Woe vnto them, that draw iniquitie with cordes of vanitie, and sinne, as with cart ropes:
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，
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.
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。
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， 以苦為甜，以甜為苦的人。
21 Woe vnto them that are wise in their owne eyes, and prudent in their owne sight.
禍哉！那些自以為有智慧， 自看為通達的人。
22 Wo vnto them that are mightie to drinke wine, and to them that are strong to powre in strong drinke:
禍哉！那些勇於飲酒， 以能力調濃酒的人。
23 Which iustifie the wicked for a rewarde, and take away the righteousnesse of the righteous from him.
他們因受賄賂，就稱惡人為義， 將義人的義奪去。
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.
火苗怎樣吞滅碎稭， 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。
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.
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。
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.
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。
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:
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。
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.
他們的箭快利， 弓也上了弦。 馬蹄算如堅石， 車輪好像旋風。
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。
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。
