Isaiah 5
1 Now let me sing for my Beloved, A song of my Beloved as to His vineyard: My beloved has a vineyard in a fruitful hill,
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 fences it, and casts out its stones, And plants it [with] a choice vine, And builds a tower in its midst, And has also hewn out a winepress in it, And He waits for the yielding of grapes, And it yields bad ones!
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 And now, O inhabitant of Jerusalem and man of Judah, Please 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 [is there] to do still to My vineyard, That I have not done in it? For what reason have I waited for the yielding of grapes, And it yields [only] bad ones?
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, pray, let Me cause you to know, That which I am doing to My vineyard, To turn its hedge aside, And it has been for consumption, To break down its wall, And it has been for a treading-place.
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 make it a waste, It is not pruned, nor arranged, And brier and thorn have gone up, And I lay a charge on the thick clouds, From raining on it rain.
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 Because the vineyard of YHWH of Hosts [Is] the house of Israel, And the man of Judah His pleasant plant, And He waits for judgment, and behold, oppression, For righteousness, and behold, a cry.
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] those joining house to house, They bring field near to field, Until there is no place, And you have been settled by yourselves In the midst of the land!
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 Do many houses not become a desolation by the weapons of YHWH of Hosts? Great and good without 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 For ten acres of vineyard yield one bath, And a homer of seed yields an ephah.
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] those rising early in the morning, They pursue strong drink! Lingering in twilight, wine inflames them!
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 And harp, and stringed instrument, tambourine, and pipe, And wine, have been their banquets, And they do not behold the work of YHWH, Indeed, they have not seen the work 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 Therefore my people removed without knowledge, And its honorable ones are famished, And its multitude dried up of 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 Therefore Sheol has enlarged herself, And has opened her mouth without limit. And its honor has gone down, and its multitude, And its noise, and its exulting one—into her. (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 the low is bowed down, and the high humbled, And the eyes of the haughty become 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 YHWH of Hosts is high in judgment, And the Holy God sanctified in righteousness,
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 lambs have fed according to their leading, And sojourners consume wastelands of the fat ones.
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] those drawing out iniquity with cords of vanity, And as [with] thick ropes of the cart—sin.
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 Who are saying, “Let Him hurry, Let Him hurry His work, that we may see, And let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel Draw near and come, and we know.”
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] those saying to evil “good,” and to good “evil,” Putting darkness for light, and light for darkness, Putting 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] the wise in their own eyes, And—before their own faces—intelligent!
祸哉！那些自以为有智慧， 自看为通达的人。
22 Woe [to] the mighty to drink wine, And men of strength to mingle strong drink.
祸哉！那些勇于饮酒， 以能力调浓酒的人。
23 Declaring righteous the wicked for a bribe, And the righteousness of the righteous They turn aside from him.
他们因受贿赂，就称恶人为义， 将义人的义夺去。
24 Therefore, as a tongue of fire devours stubble, And flaming hay falls, Their root is as muck, And their flower goes up as dust. Because they have rejected the Law of YHWH of Hosts, And despised the saying 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 Therefore the anger of YHWH has burned among His people, And He stretches out His hand against it, And strikes it, and the mountains tremble, And their carcass is as filth in the midst of the out-places. With all this His anger did not turn back, And still His hand is stretched out!
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 lifted up an ensign to the far-off nations, And hissed to it from the end of the earth, And behold, with haste, it comes swiftly.
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 none weary, nor stumbling in it, It does not slumber, nor sleep, Nor has the girdle of its loins been opened, Nor the strap of its sandals drawn away.
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 Whose arrows [are] sharp, and all its bows bent, Hooves of its horses have been reckoned as flint, And its wheels as a windstorm!
他们的箭快利， 弓也上了弦。 马蹄算如坚石， 车轮好像旋风。
29 Its roaring [is] like a lioness, It roars like young lions, And it howls, and seizes prey, And carries away safely, and there is none delivering.
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 it howls against it in that day as the howling of a sea, And it has looked attentively to the land, And behold, darkness—distress, And light has been darkened by its abundance!
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。
