以赛亚书 5
Revised Chinese Union Version (Simplified Script) Shen Edition
葡萄园之歌
5 我要为我亲爱的唱歌，
我所爱的、他的葡萄园之歌。
我亲爱的有葡萄园
在肥沃的山冈上。
2 他刨挖园子，清除石头，
栽种上等的葡萄树，
在园中盖了一座楼，
又凿出酒池；
指望它结葡萄，
反倒结了野葡萄。
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。
4 我为我葡萄园所做的之外，
还有什么可做的呢？
我指望它结葡萄，
怎么倒结了野葡萄呢？
5 现在我告诉你们，
我要向我的葡萄园怎么做。
我必撤去篱笆，使它被烧毁；
拆毁围墙，使它被践踏。
6 我必使它荒废，不再修剪，
不再锄草，任荆棘蒺藜生长；
我也必吩咐密云，
不再降雨在其上。
7 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。
他指望公平，
看哪，却有流血；
指望公义，
看哪，却有冤声。
人的恶行
8 祸哉！你们以房接房，
以地连地，
以致不留余地，
只顾自己独居境内。
9 我耳闻万军之耶和华说：
“许多房屋必然荒废；
宏伟华丽，无人居住。
10 十亩[a]的葡萄园只酿出一罢特的酒，
一贺梅珥的谷种只结一伊法粮食。”
11 祸哉！那些清晨早起，追寻烈酒，
因酒狂热，流连到深夜的人，
12 他们在宴席上
弹琴，鼓瑟，击鼓，吹笛，饮酒，
却不留意耶和华的作为，
也不留心他手所做的。
13 所以，我的百姓因无知就被掳去；
尊贵的人甚是饥饿，
平民也极其干渴。
14 因此，阴间胃口[b]大开，
张开无限量的口；
令耶路撒冷的贵族与平民、狂欢的与作乐的人
都掉落其中。
15 人为之屈膝，
人就降为卑；
高傲的眼目也降为卑。
16 惟有万军之耶和华因公平显为崇高，
神圣的 神因公义显为圣。
17 羔羊必来吃草，如同在自己的草场；
在富有人的废墟，流浪的牲畜也来吃[c]。
18 祸哉！那些以虚假的绳子牵引罪孽，
以套车的绳索紧拉罪恶的人。
19 他们说：
“任以色列的圣者急速前行，快快成就他的作为，
好让我们看看；
任他的筹算临近成就，
好使我们知道。”
20 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 祸哉！那些在自己眼中有智慧，
在自己面前有通达的人。
22 祸哉！那些以饮酒称雄，
以调烈酒称霸的人。
23 他们因受贿赂，就称恶人为义，
将义人的义夺去。
24 火苗怎样吞灭碎秸，
干草怎样落在火焰之中，
照样，他们的根必然腐朽，
他们的花像灰尘扬起；
因为他们厌弃万军之耶和华的教诲，
藐视以色列圣者的言语。
25 因此，耶和华的怒气向他的百姓发作。
他伸手攻击他们，山岭就震动；
他们的尸首在街市上好像粪土。
虽然如此，他的怒气并未转消，
他的手依然伸出。
26 他必竖立大旗，召集远方的国民，
把他们从地极叫来。
看哪，他们必急速奔来，
27 其中没有疲倦的，绊跌的；
没有打盹的，睡觉的；
腰带并不放松，
鞋带也不拉断。
28 他们的箭锐利，
弓也上了弦；
马蹄如坚石，
车轮像旋风。
29 他们要吼叫，像母狮，
咆哮，像少壮狮子；
他们要咆哮，抓取猎物，
稳稳叼走，无人能救回。
30 那日，他们要向以色列人咆哮，
像海浪澎湃；
人若望地，看哪，只有黑暗与祸患，
光明因密云而变黑暗。
Isaiah 5
New King James Version
God’s Disappointing Vineyard
5 Now let me sing to my Well-beloved
A song of my Beloved (A)regarding His vineyard:
My Well-beloved has a vineyard
[a]On a very fruitful hill.
2 He dug it up and cleared out its stones,
And planted it with the choicest vine.
He built a tower in its midst,
And also [b]made a winepress in it;
(B)So He expected it to bring forth good grapes,
But it brought forth wild grapes.
3 “And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah,
(C)Judge, please, between Me and My vineyard.
4 What more could have been done to My vineyard
That I have not done in (D)it?
Why then, when I expected it to bring forth good grapes,
Did it bring forth wild grapes?
5 And now, please let Me tell you what I will do to My vineyard:
(E)I will take away its hedge, and it shall be burned;
And break down its wall, and it shall be trampled down.
6 I will lay it (F)waste;
It shall not be pruned or [c]dug,
But there shall come up briers and (G)thorns.
I will also command the clouds
That they rain no rain on it.”
7 For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel,
And the men of Judah are His pleasant plant.
He looked for justice, but behold, oppression;
For righteousness, but behold, [d]a cry for help.
Impending Judgment on Excesses
8 Woe to those who [e]join (H)house to house;
They add field to field,
Till there is no place
Where they may dwell alone in the midst of the land!
9 (I)In my hearing the Lord of hosts said,
“Truly, many houses shall be desolate,
Great and beautiful ones, without inhabitant.
10 For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one (J)bath,[f]
And a homer of seed shall yield one [g]ephah.”
11 (K)Woe to those who rise early in the morning,
That they may [h]follow intoxicating drink;
Who continue until night, till wine inflames them!
12 (L)The harp and the strings,
The tambourine and flute,
And wine are in their feasts;
But (M)they do not regard the work of the Lord,
Nor consider the operation of His hands.
13 (N)Therefore my people have gone into captivity,
Because they have no (O)knowledge;
Their honorable men are famished,
And their multitude dried up with thirst.
14 Therefore Sheol has enlarged itself
And opened its mouth beyond measure;
Their glory and their multitude and their pomp,
And he who is jubilant, shall descend into it.
15 People shall be brought down,
(P)Each man shall be humbled,
And the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled.
16 But the Lord of hosts shall be (Q)exalted in judgment,
And God who is holy shall be hallowed in righteousness.
17 Then the lambs shall feed in their pasture,
And in the waste places of (R)the [i]fat ones strangers shall eat.
18 Woe to those who [j]draw iniquity with cords of [k]vanity,
And sin as if with a cart rope;
19 (S)That say, “Let Him make speed and hasten His work,
That we may see it;
And let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw near and come,
That we may know it.”
20 Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness;
Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
21 Woe to those who are (T)wise in their own eyes,
And prudent in their own sight!
22 Woe to men mighty at drinking wine,
Woe to men valiant for mixing intoxicating drink,
23 Who (U)justify the wicked for a bribe,
And take away justice from the righteous man!
24 Therefore, (V)as the [l]fire devours the stubble,
And the flame consumes the chaff,
So (W)their root will be as rottenness,
And their blossom will ascend like dust;
Because they have rejected the law of the Lord of hosts,
And despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
25 (X)Therefore the anger of the Lord is aroused against His people;
He has stretched out His hand against them
And stricken them,
And (Y)the hills trembled.
Their carcasses were as refuse in the midst of the streets.
(Z)For all this His anger is not turned away,
But His hand is stretched out still.
26 (AA)He will lift up a banner to the nations from afar,
And will (AB)whistle to them from (AC)the end of the earth;
Surely (AD)they shall come with speed, swiftly.
27 No one will be weary or stumble among them,
No one will slumber or sleep;
Nor (AE)will the belt on their loins be loosed,
Nor the strap of their sandals be broken;
28 (AF)Whose arrows are sharp,
And all their bows bent;
Their horses’ hooves will [m]seem like flint,
And their wheels like a whirlwind.
29 Their roaring will be like a lion,
They will roar like young lions;
Yes, they will roar
And lay hold of the prey;
They will carry it away safely,
And no one will deliver.
30 In that day they will roar against them
Like the roaring of the sea.
And if one (AG)looks to the land,
Behold, darkness and [n]sorrow;
And the light is darkened by the clouds.

English Standard Version
The Vineyard of the Lord Destroyed
5 Let me sing for my beloved
my love song concerning his vineyard:
My beloved had (A)a vineyard
on a very fertile hill.
2 He dug it and cleared it of stones,
and planted it with (B)choice vines;
he built a watchtower in the midst of it,
and hewed out a wine vat in it;
and (C)he looked for it to yield grapes,
but it yielded wild grapes.
3 And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem
and men of Judah,
judge between me and my vineyard.
4 (D)What more was there to do for my vineyard,
that I have not done in it?
(E)When I looked for it to yield grapes,
why did it yield wild grapes?
5 And now I will tell you
what I will do to my vineyard.
I will remove (F)its hedge,
and it shall be devoured;[a]
(G)I will break down its wall,
and it shall be trampled down.
6 I will make it a waste;
it shall not be pruned or hoed,
and (H)briers and thorns shall grow up;
(I)I will also command the clouds
that they rain no rain upon it.
7 (J)For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts
is the house of Israel,
and the men of Judah
are his pleasant planting;
and he looked for justice,
but behold, bloodshed;[b]
for righteousness,
but behold, an outcry![c]
Woe to the Wicked
8 Woe to those who (K)join house to house,
who add field to field,
until there is no more room,
and you are made to dwell alone
in the midst of the land.
9 The Lord of hosts has sworn in my hearing:
(L)“Surely many houses shall be desolate,
large and beautiful houses, without inhabitant.
10 (M)For ten acres[d] of vineyard shall yield but one bath,
and a (N)homer of seed shall yield but an ephah.”[e]
11 Woe to those who (O)rise early in the morning,
that they may run after strong drink,
who tarry late into the evening
as wine inflames them!
12 (P)They have lyre and harp,
tambourine and flute and wine at their feasts,
(Q)but they do not regard the deeds of the Lord,
or see the work of his hands.
13 Therefore my people go into exile
(R)for lack of knowledge;[f]
their (S)honored men go hungry,[g]
and their multitude is parched with thirst.
14 Therefore Sheol has (T)enlarged its appetite
and opened (U)its mouth beyond measure,
and the nobility of Jerusalem[h] and her multitude will go down,
her revelers and he who (V)exults in her.
15 (W)Man is humbled, and each one is brought low,
and the eyes of the haughty[i] are brought low.
16 (X)But the Lord of hosts is exalted[j] in justice,
and the Holy God shows himself holy in righteousness.
17 Then shall the lambs graze (Y)as in their pasture,
and (Z)nomads shall eat among the ruins of the rich.
18 Woe to those who draw iniquity with (AA)cords of falsehood,
who draw sin as with cart ropes,
19 who say: (AB)“Let him be quick,
let him speed his work
that we may see it;
let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw near,
and let it come, that we may know it!”
20 Woe to (AC)those who call evil good
and good evil,
(AD)who put darkness for light
and light for darkness,
who put bitter for sweet
and sweet for bitter!
21 Woe to those who are (AE)wise in their own eyes,
and shrewd in their own sight!
22 Woe to those who are (AF)heroes at drinking wine,
and valiant men in mixing strong drink,
23 who (AG)acquit the guilty for a bribe,
and deprive the innocent of his right!
24 Therefore, (AH)as the tongue of fire devours the stubble,
and as dry grass sinks down in the flame,
so (AI)their root will be (AJ)as rottenness,
and their blossom go up like dust;
for they have (AK)rejected the law of the Lord of hosts,
and have (AL)despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
25 Therefore (AM)the anger of the Lord was kindled against his people,
and he stretched out his hand against them and struck them,
and (AN)the mountains quaked;
and their corpses were (AO)as refuse
in the midst of the streets.
(AP)For all this his anger has not turned away,
and his hand is stretched out still.
26 He will (AQ)raise a signal for nations far away,
and (AR)whistle for them (AS)from the ends of the earth;
and behold, quickly, speedily they come!
27 (AT)None is weary, none stumbles,
none slumbers or sleeps,
not a waistband is loose,
not a sandal strap broken;
28 (AU)their arrows are sharp,
all their bows bent,
their horses' hoofs seem like flint,
and their wheels (AV)like the whirlwind.
29 Their roaring is like a lion,
like young lions they roar;
they growl and (AW)seize their prey;
they carry it off, and none can rescue.
30 They will growl over it on that day,
like the growling of the sea.
And if one looks to the land,
behold, (AX)darkness and distress;
and the light is darkened by its clouds.
