1 我要为我所爱的唱歌， 这歌是关于他的葡萄园： 我所爱的人有一个葡萄园， 在肥美的山冈上。 2 他把园子周围的泥土挖松了， 捡去石头， 栽种了上好的葡萄树； 在园中建造了一座守望楼， 又凿了一个榨酒池。他期望结出好葡萄， 却结出野葡萄。 3 耶路撒冷的居民和犹大人哪！ 现在请你们在我与我的葡萄园之间断定是非吧！ 4 我为我的葡萄园所作的以外， 还有什么要作的呢？我期望它结出好葡萄， 它为什么倒结出野葡萄呢？ 5 现在我告诉你们， 我要怎样处理我的葡萄园： 我要把它的篱笆撤去， 使它被吞灭； 我要把它的围墙拆毁， 使它被践踏。 6 我要使它荒废， 不再修剪， 也不再耕耘， 荆棘和蒺藜却要长起来； 我也要吩咐云不再降雨在园子上。 7 因为万军之耶和华的葡萄园就是以色列家， 他喜悦的树就是犹大人； 他期望的是公平， 但看到的只是流血的事； 他期望的是公义， 听到的只是哀叫声。 8 那些使房屋连接房屋， 使田地连接田地， 以致不留余地的人， 有祸了！ 你们只可以独居在境内。 9 我听闻万军之耶和华说： "必有许多房屋变成荒凉， 甚至那些又大又美的房屋也没有人居住。 10 十公顷葡萄园只出二十二公升酒； 二百二十公升谷种只结二十二公升粮食。" 11 那些清早起来， 追求浓酒， 留连到晚上， 以致因酒发烧的人， 有祸了！ 12 在他们的筵席上， 有琴、瑟、手鼓、笛和酒， 但他们不理耶和华的作为， 也不留心他手所作的。 13 所以我的人民因无知被掳去； 他们的尊贵人十分饥饿； 他们的群众极其干渴。 14 故此， 阴间扩张它的咽喉， 张大它的口， 没有限量； 耶路撒冷城的荣耀、群众、喧嚷的人和在城中作乐的人， 都要下到阴间。 15 卑贱人俯首， 尊贵人降卑， 眼目高傲的也降卑。 16 唯独万军之耶和华， 因公平被高举； 至圣的 神， 因公义显为圣。 17 那时羊羔必来吃草， 像在自己的草场一样； 富裕者的荒场被寄居者随意吃用。 18 那些人虚假的绳索牵引罪孽， 又像用车绳拉罪恶的人， 有祸了！ 19 他们说： "愿他赶快、迅速地成就他的作为， 给我们看看！ 愿以色列的圣者所计划的临近！ 愿它来到， 好让我们知道！ " 20 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， 有祸了！ 21 那些自以为有智慧， 自视为聪明的人， 有祸了！ 22 那些勇于喝酒， 又精于调和浓酒的人， 有祸了！ 23 他们因受了贿赂， 就称恶人为义； 却把义人的权益夺去。 24 因此， 火舌怎样吞灭碎秸， 干草怎样落在火焰之中， 照样， 他们的根必像腐朽之物， 他们的花必像尘土飞扬； 因为他们弃绝万军之耶和华的训诲， 藐视以色列圣者的话。 25 所以耶和华的怒气向他的子民发作， 他伸出手来击打他们， 群山都震动， 他们的尸体在街上好像粪土， 虽然这样， 他的怒气还未转消， 他的手仍然伸出。 26 他必竖立旗帜， 招一国的人从远方而来， 发出哨声把他们从地极召来； 看！ 他们必急速快奔而来。 27 他们当中没有疲倦的， 没有绊倒的， 没有打盹的， 也没有睡觉的； 他们的腰带没有放松， 鞋带也没有折断。 28 他们的箭锐利， 所有的弓都上了弦； 他们的马蹄看来像火石， 车辆似旋风。 29 他们的吼叫像母狮， 他们的咆哮如幼狮； 他们咆哮， 攫取猎物， 把它叼去， 无人援救。 30 到那日， 他们要向以色列人咆哮， 像海浪的澎湃声一样； 人若望着这地， 就只见黑暗与灾难； 光在云中也成了黑暗。

1 Let me sing, I pray you, for my beloved, A song of my beloved as to his vineyard: My beloved hath a vineyard in a fruitful hill,2 And he fenceth it, and casteth out its stones, And planteth it [with] a choice vine, And buildeth a tower in its midst, And also a wine press hath hewn out in it, And he waiteth for the yielding of grapes, And it yieldeth bad ones!3 And now, O inhabitant of Jerusalem, and man of Judah, Judge, I pray you, between me and my vineyard.4 What -- to do still to my vineyard, That I have not done in it! Wherefore, I waited to the yielding of grapes, And it yieldeth bad ones!5 And now, pray, let me cause you to know, That which I am doing to my vineyard, To turn aside its hedge, And it hath been for consumption, To break down its wall, And it hath been for a treading-place.6 And I make it a waste, It is not pruned, nor arranged, And gone up have brier and thorn, And on the thick clouds I lay a charge, From raining upon it rain.7 Because the vineyard of Jehovah of Hosts [Is] the house of Israel, And the man of Judah His pleasant plant, And He waiteth for judgment, and lo, oppression, For righteousness, and lo, a cry.8 Wo [to] those joining house to house, Field to field they bring near, till there is no place, And ye have been settled by yourselves In the midst of the land!9 By the weapons of Jehovah of Hosts Do not many houses a desolation become? Great and good without inhabitant!10 For ten acres of vineyard do yield one bath, And an homer of seed yieldeth an ephah.11 Wo [to] those rising early in the morning, Strong drink they pursue! Tarrying in twilight, wine inflameth them!12 And harp, and psaltery, tabret, and pipe, And wine, have been their banquets, And the work of Jehovah they behold not, Yea, the work of His hands they have not seen.13 Therefore my people removed without knowledge, And its honourable ones are famished, And its multitude dried up of thirst.14 Therefore hath Sheol enlarged herself, And hath opened her mouth without limit. And gone down hath its honour, and its multitude, And its noise, and its exulting one -- into her.15 And bowed down is the low, and humbled the high, And the eyes of the haughty become low,16 And Jehovah of Hosts is high in judgment, And the Holy God sanctified in righteousness,17 And fed have lambs according to their leading, And waste places of the fat ones Do sojourners consume.18 Wo [to] those drawing out iniquity with cords of vanity, And as [with] thick ropes of the cart -- sin.19 Who are saying, `Let Him hurry, Let Him hasten His work, that we may see, And let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel Draw near and come, and we know.`20 Wo [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.21 Wo [to] the wise in their own eyes, And -- before their own faces -- intelligent!22 Wo [to] the mighty to drink wine, And men of strength to mingle strong drink.23 Declaring righteous the wicked for a bribe, And the righteousness of the righteous They turn aside from him.24 Therefore, as a tongue of fire devoureth stubble, And flaming hay falleth, Their root is as muck, And their flower as dust goeth up. Because they have rejected the law of Jehovah of Hosts, And the saying of the Holy One of Israel despised.25 Therefore hath the anger of Jehovah burned among His people, And He stretcheth out His hand against it, And smiteth it, and the mountains tremble, And their carcase 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!26 And He lifted up an ensign to nations afar off, And hissed to it from the end of the earth, And lo, with haste, swift it cometh.27 There is none weary, nor stumbling in it, It doth not slumber, nor sleep, Nor opened hath been the girdle of its loins, Nor drawn away the latchet of its sandals.28 Whose arrows [are] sharp, and all its bows bent, Hoofs of its horses as flint have been reckoned, And its wheels as a hurricane!29 Its roaring [is] like a lioness, It roareth like young lions, And it howleth, and seizeth prey, And carrieth away safely, and there is none delivering.30 And it howleth against it in that day as the howling of a sea, And it hath looked attentively to the land, And lo, darkness -- distress, And light hath been darkened by its abundance!
