我要歌唱我所亲爱的，唱我所爱者的歌，论到祂的葡萄园。我所亲爱的有葡萄园，在肥美的山冈上。
Let me sing of my Beloved, / A song of my Beloved concerning His vineyard. / My Beloved had a vineyard / On a fertile hill.

祂刨挖园子，清除石头，栽种上等的葡萄树，又在园中盖了一座楼，凿出压酒池；指望结好葡萄，反倒结了野葡萄。
And He dug it up and cleared away its stones, / And He planted it with the choicest vine. / Then He built a tower in the middle of it, / And hewed out a wine vat in it. / And He looked for it to produce grapes, / But it produced only wild grapes.

耶路撒冷的居民和犹大人哪，请你们现今在我与我的葡萄园之间，作个评断。
So then, you inhabitants of Jerusalem / And you men of Judah, / Judge between Me / And My vineyard.

我为我的葡萄园，还可以作什么，是我没有作过的呢？我指望结好葡萄，怎么倒结了野葡萄呢？
What more could I have done for My vineyard / That I have not already done for it? / Why then, when I looked for it to produce grapes, / Did it produce only wild grapes?

现在我告诉你们，我要向我的葡萄园怎样行：我必撤去它的篱笆，使它被吞灭；拆毁它的墙垣，使它被践踏。
And now I will make known to you / What I will now do to My vineyard: / I will remove its hedge, and it will be consumed; / I will break down its wall, and it will become a trampled place.

我必使它荒废，不再修理，不再锄刨；荆棘蒺藜倒要生长。我也必命云不降雨在其上。
And I will make it a waste; / It will not be pruned, nor will it be hoed; / But thorns and thistles will come on it. / And I will command the clouds / Not to rain upon it.

原来万军之耶和华的葡萄园就是以色列家，祂所喜悦的树就是犹大人；祂指望的是公平，谁知倒有流血！指望的是公义，谁知倒有哀声！
For the vineyard of Jehovah of hosts is the house of Israel, / And the men of Judah, the plant of His good pleasure; / And He expected justice, but instead, bloodshed! / He expected righteousness, but instead, an outcry of distress!

祸哉，那些以房接房，以地连地，以致不留余地，只顾自己独居境内的人！
Woe to those who join house to house, / Who lay field to field, / Till there is no place left, / And you dwell alone in the midst of the land!

我耳闻万军之耶和华起誓说，必有许多房屋成为荒凉，又大又美的房屋无人居住。
In my ears Jehovah of hosts has sworn: / Many houses shall indeed become desolate; / Great ones and fine ones shall be without inhabitants.

因为十亩葡萄园只出一罢特酒，一贺梅珥谷种只结一伊法粮食。
For ten acres of vineyard will produce a mere bath of wine, / And a homer of seed will produce an ephah of grain.

祸哉，那些清早起来追求浓酒，留连到夜深，以致因酒发烧的人！
Woe to those who rise early in the morning / That they may run after liquor, / To those who linger into the evening / That wine may inflame them!

他们在筵席上弹琴、鼓瑟、击鼓、吹笛、饮酒，却不顾念耶和华的作为，也不留心祂手所作的。
Lyre and harp, tambourine and flute, / And wine are the essence of their banquets; / And they do not consider what has been done by Jehovah, / Nor do they regard the work of His hands.

所以我的百姓因无知就被迁徙；他们的尊贵人成了饥饿的民，群众极其干渴。
Hence, my people go into exile / For lack of knowledge; / Their nobility become famished men, / And their multitudes, parched with thirst.

故此，阴间扩张其欲，大开其口，没有限量；耶路撒冷的荣美、群众、喧哗并在其中欢乐的人，都落入阴间。
Hence, Sheol enlarges its appetite / And opens its mouth wide, without limit, / And Jerusalem's splendor descends, and her din / And her uproar and the jubilant within her.

平常人屈服，显贵人降为卑，高傲人的眼目也降为卑；
Thus the ordinary man is humbled, and the man of distinction is abased; / And the eyes of the haughty are abased;

惟有万军之耶和华，因审判得高举，圣别的神，因公义显为圣别。
But Jehovah of hosts is exalted in judgment, / And the holy God shows Himself holy in righteousness.

那时羊羔必来吃草，如同在自己的草场，丰肥人的荒场必被外人吃尽。
Then lambs will graze there as in their pasture, / And strangers will eat the wastelands of fat men.

祸哉，那些以虚假之绳索牵罪孽，又像以套绳拉罪恶的人！
Woe to those who draw iniquity with ropes of vanity, / And sin as with cart ropes;

他们说，任祂急速而行，赶快成就祂的作为，使我们可以看见；任以色列圣者所谋划的临近成就，使我们可以知道。
Who say, He should hurry up; / He should hasten His work, / So that we may see it; / And the counsel of the Holy One of Israel / Should draw near and happen, / So that we may know it!

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！
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!

祸哉，那些自视为有智慧，自看为精明的人！
Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, / And prudent in their own sight!

祸哉，那些饮酒的勇士，那些调浓酒的壮士！
Woe to those who are heroes in drinking wine, / And men of valor in mixing liquor;

他们因受贿赂，就定恶人为义，将义人的义夺去。
Who acquit the criminal as a result of a bribe, / But refuse righteousness to the righteous!

火舌怎样吞灭碎秸，干草怎样落在火焰之中，照样，他们的根必像朽物，他们的花必像灰尘飞扬；因为他们厌弃万军之耶和华的训诲，藐视以色列圣者的言语。
Therefore as a tongue of fire consumes the stubble, / And the chaff sinks in flames, / Their root will be like decay, / And their bud will disappear like dust; / For they have rejected the instruction of Jehovah of hosts / And despised the speaking of the Holy One of Israel.

所以耶和华的怒气向祂的百姓发作，祂的手伸出击打他们。山岭震动，他们的尸首在街市上好像粪土。虽然如此，祂的怒气还未转消，祂的手仍然伸出。
For this reason the anger of Jehovah burns against His people, / And He stretches out His hand over them and strikes them. / And the mountains quake, and their corpses are / Like garbage in the middle of the street. / In spite of all this His anger is not turned away; / Rather, His hand is still stretched out.

祂必高举旗号，招远方的国民，发啸声叫他们从地极而来；他们必急速奔来。
He also lifts up a standard to a distant nation, / And whistles to it from the ends of the earth; / And indeed it comes with swift speed.

他们中间没有疲倦的、绊跌的，没有打盹的、睡觉的；他们的腰带并不放松，鞋带也不折断。
None of them is weary, and none stumbles among them; / No one slumbers or sleeps; / And their belts are not loosened at their waists, / Nor are their sandal thongs broken.

他们的箭快利，弓也上了弦；马蹄算如坚石，车轮好像旋风。
The arrows of these are sharpened, / And all their bows are drawn; / The hooves of their horses are considered to be like flint, / And their chariot wheels like a whirlwind.

他们要吼叫像狮子，咆哮像少壮狮子；他们要咆哮抓食，安然叼去，无人搭救。
Their roar is like a lion's, / And they roar like young lions; / When they growl and seize prey, / They carry it away safe, and there is none to rescue it.

那日他们要向以色列人吼叫，像海浪匉訇。人若望地，只见黑暗艰难，亮光在云中变为昏暗。
And they will growl over it in that day, / Like the roaring of the sea. / When one will look upon the land, indeed, there will be darkness and distress, / And the light will be darkened with its clouds.
