Esias 5
1 Now I will sing to [my] beloved a song of my beloved concerning my vineyard. [My] beloved had a vineyard on a high hill in a fertile place.
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 I made a hedge round it, and dug a trench, and planted a choice vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and dug a place for the wine-vat in it: and I waited [for it] to bring forth grapes, and it brought forth thorns.
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 And now, ye dwellers in Jerusalem, and [every] man of Juda, judge between me and my vineyard.
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 shall I do any more to my vineyard, that I have not done to it? Whereas I expected [it] to bring forth grapes, but it has brought forth thorns.
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 I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away its hedge, and it shall be for a spoil; and I will pull down its walls, and it shall be [left] to be trodden down.
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 forsake my vineyard; and it shall not be pruned, nor dug, and thorns shall come up upon it as on barren land; and I will command the clouds to rain no rain upon 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 For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Juda [his] beloved plant: I expected [it] to bring forth judgment, and it brought forth iniquity; and not righteousness, but a 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 Woe [to them] that join house to house, and add field to field, that they may take away something of their neighbor's: will ye dwell alone upon the land?
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 For these things have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts: for though many houses should be built, many and fair houses shall be desolate, and there shall be no inhabitants in them.
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 where ten yoke of oxen plough [the land] shall yield one jar-full, and he that sows six homers shall produce three measures.
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 Woe [to them] that rise up in the morning, and follow strong drink; who wait [at it till] evening: for the wine shall 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 For they drink wine with harp, and psaltery, and drums, and pipes: but they regard not the works of the Lord, and consider not the works of his hands.
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 have been taken captive, because they know not the Lord: and there has been a multitude of dead [bodies], because of hunger and of thirst for water.
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 has enlarged its desire and opened its mouth without ceasing: and her glorious and great, and her rich and her pestilent men shall go down [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 the mean man shall be brought low, and the great man shall be disgraced, and the lofty eyes shall be brought low.
卑賤人被壓服； 尊貴人降為卑； 眼目高傲的人也降為卑。
16 But the Lord of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and the holy God shall be glorified in righteousness.
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 they that were spoiled shall be fed as bulls, and lambs shall feed on the waste places of them that are taken away.
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 [to them] that draw sins to them as with a long rope, and iniquities as with a thong of the heifer's yoke:
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 who say, Let him speedily hasten what he will do, that we may see [it]: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel come, that we may know [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 [to them] that call evil good, and good evil; who make darkness light, and light darkness; who make bitter sweet, and sweet bitter.
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 [to them] that are wise in their own conceit, and knowing in their own sight.
禍哉！那些自以為有智慧， 自看為通達的人。
22 Woe to the strong [ones] of you that drink wine, and the mighty [ones] that mingle strong drink:
禍哉！那些勇於飲酒， 以能力調濃酒的人。
23 who justify the ungodly for rewards, and take away the righteousness of the righteous.
他們因受賄賂，就稱惡人為義， 將義人的義奪去。
24 Therefore as stubble shall be burnt by a coal of fire, and shall be consumed by a violent flame, their root shall be as chaff, and their flower shall go up as dust: for they rejected the law of the Lord of hosts, and insulted the word of the Holy One 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 Therefore the Lord of hosts was greatly angered against his people, and he reached forth his hand upon them, and smote them: and the mountains were troubled, and their carcasses were as dung in the midst of the way: yet for all this his anger has not been turned away, but his hand is yet raised.
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 Therefore shall he lift up a signal to the nations that are afar, and shall hiss for them from the end of the earth; and, behold, they are coming very quickly.
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 They shall not hunger nor be weary, neither shall they slumber nor sleep; neither shall they loose their girdles from their loins, neither shall their shoe-latchets 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 arrows are sharp, and their bows bent; their horses' hoofs are counted as solid rock: their chariot-wheels are as a storm.
他們的箭快利， 弓也上了弦。 馬蹄算如堅石， 車輪好像旋風。
29 They rage as lions, and draw nigh as a lion's whelps: and he shall seize, and roar as a wild beast, and he shall cast [them] forth, and there shall be none to deliver them.
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 shall roar on account of them in that day, as the sound of the swelling sea; and they shall look to the land, and, behold, [there shall be] thick darkness in their perplexity.
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。
