葡萄園的比喻

我要為我所愛的唱歌,

這歌是關於他的葡萄園:

我所愛的人有一個葡萄園,在肥美的山岡上。

他把園子的泥土挖鬆了,撿去石頭,

栽種了上好的葡萄樹;

在園中建造了一座守望樓,

又鑿了一個榨酒池。

他期望結出好葡萄,

卻結出野葡萄。

耶路撒冷的居民和猶大人哪!

現在請你們在我與我的葡萄園之間斷定是非吧!

我為我的葡萄園所作的以外,還有甚麼要作的呢?

我期望它結出好葡萄,它為甚麼倒結出野葡萄呢?

現在我告訴你們,我要怎樣處理我的葡萄園:

我要把它的籬笆撤去,使它被吞滅;

我要把它的圍牆拆毀,使它被踐踏。

我要使它荒廢,

不再修剪,也不再耕耘,

荊棘和蒺藜卻要長起來;

我也要吩咐雲不再降雨在園子上。

因為萬軍之耶和華的葡萄園就是以色列家,

他喜悅的樹就是猶大人;

他期望的是公平,但看到的只是流血的事;

他期望的是公義,聽到的只是哀叫聲。

人民的惡行─六禍

那些使房屋連接房屋,使田地連接田地,

以致不留餘地的人,有禍了!

你們只可以獨居在境內。

我聽聞萬軍之耶和華說:“必有許多房屋變成荒涼,

甚至那些又大又美的房屋也沒有人居住。

10 十公頃葡萄園只出二十二公升酒;

二百二十公升穀種只結二十二公升糧食。”

11 那些清早起來,追求濃酒,

留連到晚上,以致因酒發燒的人,有禍了!

12 在他們的筵席上,有琴、瑟、手鼓、笛和酒,

但他們不理耶和華的作為,

也不留心他手所作的。

13 所以我的人民因無知被擄去;

他們的尊貴人十分飢餓;

他們的群眾極其乾渴。

14 故此,陰間擴張它的咽喉,張大它的口,沒有限量;

耶路撒冷城的榮耀(“榮耀”或譯:“貴族”)、群眾、喧嚷的人和在城中作樂的人,都要下到陰間。

15 卑賤人俯首,尊貴人降卑,

眼目高傲的也降卑。

16 唯獨萬軍之耶和華,因公平被高舉;

至聖的 神,因公義顯為聖。

17 那時羊羔必來吃草,像在自己的草場一樣;

富裕者的荒場被寄居者隨意吃用。

18 那些人虛假的繩索牽引罪孽,

又像用車繩拉罪惡的人,有禍了!

19 他們說:“願他趕快、迅速地成就他的作為,給我們看看!

願以色列的聖者所計劃的臨近!

願它來到,好讓我們知道!”

20 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,有禍了!

21 那些自以為有智慧,

自視為聰明的人,有禍了!

22 那些勇於喝酒,

又精於調和濃酒的人,有禍了!

23 他們因受了賄賂,就稱惡人為義;

卻把義人的權益奪去。

24 因此,火舌怎樣吞滅碎稭,

乾草怎樣落在火燄之中,

照樣,他們的根必像腐朽之物,他們的花必像塵土飛揚;

因為他們棄絕萬軍之耶和華的訓誨,

藐視以色列聖者的話。

25 所以耶和華的怒氣向他的子民發作,

他伸出手來擊打他們,

群山都震動,他們的屍體在街上好像糞土,

雖然這樣,他的怒氣還未轉消,

他的手仍然伸出。

懲罰快要來臨

26 他必豎立旗幟,招一國的人從遠方而來,

發出哨聲把他們從地極召來;

看!他們必急速快奔而來。

27 他們當中沒有疲倦的,沒有絆倒的,

沒有打盹的,也沒有睡覺的;

他們的腰帶沒有放鬆,

鞋帶也沒有折斷。

28 他們的箭銳利,所有的弓都上了弦;

他們的馬蹄看來像火石,車輛似旋風。

29 他們的吼叫像母獅,他們的咆哮如幼獅;

他們咆哮,攫取獵物,

把它叼去,無人援救。

30 到那日,他們要向以色列人咆哮,

像海浪的澎湃聲一樣;

人若望著這地,就只見黑暗與災難;

光在雲中也成了黑暗。

葡萄园之歌

我要为我所爱的歌唱,唱一首有关他葡萄园的歌:

我所爱的在肥美的山冈上有一个葡萄园。
他松土,清除石头,
栽种了上好的葡萄,
在园中建了一座瞭望塔,
凿了榨酒池。
他期望收获好葡萄,
得到的却是坏葡萄。

他说,“耶路撒冷和犹大的居民啊,
请你们在我和葡萄园之间评评理。
我不遗余力地料理葡萄园,
希望得到好葡萄,
为什么得到的只是坏葡萄呢?

“现在,我告诉你们我会怎样处理这葡萄园,
我要除去篱笆,任它被毁坏;
我要拆毁围墙,任它被践踏。
我不再修剪,不再锄地,
也不再降雨,
任由它荒废,长满荆棘和蒺藜。”

万军之耶和华的葡萄园就是以色列,
祂所喜爱的葡萄树就是犹大人。
祂希望看到公平,
却只看见杀戮;
指望看到公义,
却只听见冤声。

以色列的罪恶

那些不断建房置田、占光土地、
独居其中的人有祸了!
我亲耳听到万军之耶和华说:
“许多富丽堂皇的房屋必荒废,无人居住。
10 三十亩葡萄园只产二十升酒,
二百公斤种子只产二十公斤粮食。”

11 那些从清早到深夜贪杯好酒,
喝到酩酊大醉的人有祸了!
12 席上,他们在琴、瑟、鼓、笛声中饮酒作乐,
却毫不理会耶和华的作为。

13 所以,我的子民必因无知而被掳。
他们的贵族无饼充饥,
民众无水解渴。
14 阴间必食欲膨胀,
张开大口吞噬耶路撒冷的首领、群众和宴乐之人。
15 世人遭贬,降为卑下,
狂妄者眼目低垂。
16 唯有万军之耶和华因祂的公正而受尊崇,
圣洁的上帝借公义彰显自己的圣洁。
17 那时,羊群在那里吃草,
如在自己的草场,
寄居者在富人的荒场上进食。

18 那些用虚假作绳子扯来罪恶,
用套绳拉来邪恶的人有祸了!
19 他们说:“让上帝快点完成祂的工作,
好让我们看看;
让以色列的圣者早点实现祂的计划,
好让我们知道。”
20 那些善恶不分、黑白颠倒、
甜苦不辨的人有祸了!
21 那些自以为聪明、睿智的人有祸了!
22 那些以豪饮称霸、善于调酒的人有祸了!
23 他们贪赃枉法,坑害无辜。

24 他们的根必朽烂,
花朵如飞尘飘落,
就像火焰吞灭禾秸,烧尽干草,
因为他们厌弃以色列之圣者的训诲,
藐视万军之耶和华的言语。
25 耶和华向祂的子民发怒,
伸手击打他们。
山岭震动,
他们横尸街头,犹如粪土。
然而,祂的怒气还没有止息,
祂降罚的手没有收回。
26 祂必竖起旗帜召集远方的国家,
吹哨叫来地极的人。
看啊,他们必飞速而来!
27 他们无人疲倦,无人踉跄,
无人打盹,无人睡觉,
都腰带紧束,鞋带未断。
28 他们的利箭上弦,引弓待发;
他们的马蹄坚如岩石,
车轮快如旋风。
29 他们吼叫如狮子,
像猛狮般咆哮着捕食,
将猎物叼走,无人能救。
30 那日,他们必向以色列咆哮,
如怒海澎湃。
人若观看大地,
只见黑暗和艰难,
光明被密云遮盖。

The Song of the Vineyard

I will sing for the one I love
    a song about his vineyard:(A)
My loved one had a vineyard
    on a fertile hillside.
He dug it up and cleared it of stones
    and planted it with the choicest vines.(B)
He built a watchtower(C) in it
    and cut out a winepress(D) as well.
Then he looked for a crop of good grapes,
    but it yielded only bad fruit.(E)

“Now you dwellers in Jerusalem and people of Judah,
    judge between me and my vineyard.(F)
What more could have been done for my vineyard
    than I have done for it?(G)
When I looked for good grapes,
    why did it yield only bad?(H)
Now I will tell you
    what I am going to do to my vineyard:
I will take away its hedge,
    and it will be destroyed;(I)
I will break down its wall,(J)
    and it will be trampled.(K)
I will make it a wasteland,(L)
    neither pruned nor cultivated,
    and briers and thorns(M) will grow there.
I will command the clouds
    not to rain(N) on it.”

The vineyard(O) of the Lord Almighty
    is the nation of Israel,
and the people of Judah
    are the vines he delighted in.
And he looked for justice,(P) but saw bloodshed;
    for righteousness,(Q) but heard cries of distress.(R)

Woes and Judgments

Woe(S) to you who add house to house
    and join field to field(T)
till no space is left
    and you live alone in the land.

The Lord Almighty(U) has declared in my hearing:(V)

“Surely the great houses will become desolate,(W)
    the fine mansions left without occupants.
10 A ten-acre vineyard will produce only a bath[a] of wine;
    a homer[b] of seed will yield only an ephah[c] of grain.”(X)

11 Woe(Y) to those who rise early in the morning
    to run after their drinks,
who stay up late at night
    till they are inflamed with wine.(Z)
12 They have harps and lyres at their banquets,
    pipes(AA) and timbrels(AB) and wine,
but they have no regard(AC) for the deeds of the Lord,
    no respect for the work of his hands.(AD)
13 Therefore my people will go into exile(AE)
    for lack of understanding;(AF)
those of high rank(AG) will die of hunger
    and the common people will be parched with thirst.(AH)
14 Therefore Death(AI) expands its jaws,
    opening wide its mouth;(AJ)
into it will descend their nobles and masses
    with all their brawlers and revelers.(AK)
15 So people will be brought low(AL)
    and everyone humbled,(AM)
    the eyes of the arrogant(AN) humbled.
16 But the Lord Almighty will be exalted(AO) by his justice,(AP)
    and the holy God will be proved holy(AQ) by his righteous acts.
17 Then sheep will graze as in their own pasture;(AR)
    lambs will feed[d] among the ruins of the rich.

18 Woe(AS) to those who draw sin along with cords(AT) of deceit,
    and wickedness(AU) as with cart ropes,
19 to those who say, “Let God hurry;
    let him hasten(AV) his work
    so we may see it.
The plan of the Holy One(AW) of Israel—
    let it approach, let it come into view,
    so we may know it.”(AX)

20 Woe(AY) to those who call evil good(AZ)
    and good evil,(BA)
who put darkness for light
    and light for darkness,(BB)
who put bitter for sweet
    and sweet for bitter.(BC)

21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes(BD)
    and clever in their own sight.

22 Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine(BE)
    and champions at mixing drinks,(BF)
23 who acquit the guilty for a bribe,(BG)
    but deny justice(BH) to the innocent.(BI)
24 Therefore, as tongues of fire(BJ) lick up straw(BK)
    and as dry grass sinks down in the flames,
so their roots will decay(BL)
    and their flowers blow away like dust;(BM)
for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty
    and spurned the word(BN) of the Holy One(BO) of Israel.
25 Therefore the Lord’s anger(BP) burns against his people;
    his hand is raised and he strikes them down.
The mountains shake,(BQ)
    and the dead bodies(BR) are like refuse(BS) in the streets.(BT)

Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away,(BU)
    his hand is still upraised.(BV)

26 He lifts up a banner(BW) for the distant nations,
    he whistles(BX) for those at the ends of the earth.(BY)
Here they come,
    swiftly and speedily!
27 Not one of them grows tired(BZ) or stumbles,
    not one slumbers or sleeps;
not a belt(CA) is loosened at the waist,(CB)
    not a sandal strap is broken.(CC)
28 Their arrows are sharp,(CD)
    all their bows(CE) are strung;
their horses’ hooves(CF) seem like flint,
    their chariot wheels like a whirlwind.(CG)
29 Their roar is like that of the lion,(CH)
    they roar like young lions;
they growl as they seize(CI) their prey
    and carry it off with no one to rescue.(CJ)
30 In that day(CK) they will roar over it
    like the roaring of the sea.(CL)
And if one looks at the land,
    there is only darkness(CM) and distress;(CN)
    even the sun will be darkened(CO) by clouds.

20 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,有禍了!

    all their bows(CE) are strung;
their horses’ hooves(CF) seem like flint,
    their chariot wheels like a whirlwind.(CG)
29 Their roar is like that of the lion,(CH)
    they roar like young lions;
they growl as they seize(CI) their prey
    and carry it off with no one to rescue.(CJ)
30 In that day(CK) they will roar over it
    like the roaring of the sea.(CL)
And if one looks at the land,
    there is only darkness(CM) and distress;(CN)
    even the sun will be darkened(CO) by clouds.
