< Isaiah 5 >

1 I schal synge for my derlyng the song of myn vnclis sone, of his vyner. A vyner was maad to my derlyng, in the horne in the sone of oile.
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 he heggide it, and chees stoonys therof, and plauntide a chosun vyner; and he bildide a tour in the myddis therof, and rerede a presse ther ynne; and he abood, that it schulde bere grapis, and it bare wielde grapis.
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 therfor, ye dwelleris of Jerusalem, and ye men of Juda, deme bitwixe me and my viner.
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 is it that Y ouyt to do more to my vyner, and Y dide not to it? whether that Y abood, that it schulde bere grapis, and it bare wielde grapis?
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 now Y schal schewe to you, what Y schal do to my vyner. Y schal take awei the hegge therof, and it schal be in to rauyschyng; Y schal caste doun the wal therof, and it schal be in to defoulyng; and Y schal sette it desert,
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 ether forsakun. It schal not be kit, and it schal not be diggid, and breris and thornes schulen `growe vp on it; and Y schal comaunde to cloudis, that tho reyne not reyn on 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 Forsothe the vyner of the Lord of oostis is the hous of Israel, and the men of Juda ben the delitable buriownyng of hym. Y abood, that it schal make doom, and lo! wickidnesse; and that it schulde do riytfulnesse, and lo! cry.
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 Wo to you that ioynen hows to hous, and couplen feeld to feeld, `til to the ende of place. Whether ye aloone schulen dwelle in the myddis of the lond?
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 These thingis ben in the eeris of me, the Lord of oostis; if many housis ben not forsakun, grete housis and faire, with outen dwellere, bileue ye not to me.
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 whi ten acris of vynes schulen make a potel, and thretti buschels of seed schulen make thre buschels.
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 to you that risen togidere eerli to sue drunkennesse, and to drinke `til to euentid, that ye brenne with wyn.
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 Harpe, and giterne, and tympan, and pipe, and wyn ben in youre feestis; and ye biholden not the werk of the Lord, nether ye biholden the werkis of hise hondis.
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 Therfor my puple is led prisoner, for it hadde not kunnyng; and the noble men therof perischiden in hungur, and the multitude therof was drye in 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 Therfor helle alargide his soule, and openyde his mouth with outen ony ende; and strong men therof, and the puple therof, and the hiy men, and gloriouse men therof, schulen go doun to 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 a man schal be bowid doun, and a man of age schal be maad low; and the iyen of hiy men schulen be pressid doun.
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 oostis schal be enhaunsid in doom, and hooli God schal be halewid in riytfulnesse.
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 And lambren schulen be fed bi her ordre, and comelyngis schulen ete desert places turned in to plentee.
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 Wo to you that drawen wickydnesse in the cordis of vanyte, and drawen synne as the boond of a wayn; and ye seien,
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 The werk of hym haaste, and come soone, that we se; and the counsel of the hooli of Israel neiy, and come, and we schulen 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 Wo to you that seien yuel good, and good yuel; and putten derknessis liyt, and liyt derknessis; and putten bittir thing in to swete, and swete thing in to bittir.
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 Wo to you that ben wise men in youre iyen, and ben prudent bifor you silf.
禍哉!那些自以為有智慧, 自看為通達的人。
22 Wo to you that ben myyti to drynke wyn, and ben stronge to meddle drunkenesse;
禍哉!那些勇於飲酒, 以能力調濃酒的人。
23 and ye iustifien a wickid man for yiftis, and ye taken awei the riytfulnesse of a iust man fro hym.
他們因受賄賂,就稱惡人為義, 將義人的義奪去。
24 For this thing, as the tunge of fier deuourith stobil, and the heete of flawme brenneth, so the roote of hem schal be as a deed sparcle, and the seed of hem schal stie as dust; for thei castiden awei the lawe of the Lord of oostis, and blasfemyden the speche of the hooli of Israel.
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。
25 Therfor the strong veniaunce of the Lord was wrooth ayens his puple, and he stretchide forth his hond on it, and smoot it; and hillis weren disturblid, and the deed bodies of hem weren maad as a toord in the myddis of stretis. In alle these thingis the stronge vengeaunce of him was not turned awei, but yit his hond was stretchid forth.
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 schal reise a signe among naciouns afer, and he schal hisse to hym fro the endis of erthe; and lo! he schal haaste, and schal come swiftli.
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 Noon is failynge nethir trauelynge in that oost; he schal not nappe, nether slepe, nether the girdil of his reynes schal be vndo, nether the lace of his scho schal be brokun.
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 Hise arowis ben scharpe, and alle hise bowis ben bent; the houys of hise horsis ben as a flynt, and hise wheelis ben as the feersnesse of tempest.
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 roryng schal be as of lioun; he schal rore as the whelpis of liouns; and he schal gnaste, and schal holde prey, and schal biclippe, and noon schal be, that schal delyuere.
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 he schal sowne on it in that dai, as doith the soun of the see; we schulen biholde in to the erthe, and lo! derknessis of tribulacioun, and liyt is maad derk in the derknesse therof.
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。
