| Isaiah 5 Text (WEB)
|
- Let me sing for my well beloved a song of my beloved about his vineyard. My beloved had a vineyard on a very fruitful hill.
- He dug it up, gathered out its stones, planted it with the choicest vine, built a tower in its midst, and also cut out a winepress therein. He looked for it to yield grapes, but it yielded wild grapes.
- "Now, inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, please judge between me and my vineyard.
- What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? Why, when I looked for it to yield grapes, did it yield wild grapes?
- Now I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard. I will take away its hedge, and it will be eaten up. I will break down its wall of it, and it will be trampled down.
- I will lay it a wasteland. It won't be pruned nor hoed, but it will grow briers and thorns. I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain on it."
- For the vineyard of Yahweh of Armies is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for justice, but, behold, oppression; for righteousness, but, behold, a cry of distress.
- Woe to those who join house to house, who lay field to field, until there is no room, and you are made to dwell alone in the midst of the land!
- In my ears, Yahweh of Armies says: "Surely many houses will be desolate, even great and beautiful, unoccupied.
- For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and a homer of seed shall yield an ephah."
- Woe to those who rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; who stay late into the night, until wine inflames them!
- The harp, lyre, tambourine, and flute, with wine, are at their feasts; but they don't respect the work of Yahweh, neither have they considered the operation of his hands.
- Therefore my people go into captivity for lack of knowledge. Their honorable men are famished, and their multitudes are parched with thirst.
- Therefore Sheol has enlarged its desire, and opened its mouth without measure; and their glory, their multitude, their pomp, and he who rejoices among them, descend into it.
- So man is brought low, mankind is humbled, and the eyes of the arrogant ones are humbled;
- but Yahweh of Armies is exalted in justice, and God the Holy One is sanctified in righteousness.
- Then the lambs will graze as in their pasture, and strangers will eat the ruins of the rich.
- Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of falsehood, and wickedness as with cart rope;
- Who say, "Let him make speed, let him 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!"
- 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!
- Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
- Woe to those who are mighty to drink wine, and champions at mixing strong drink;
- who acquit the guilty for a bribe, but deny justice for the innocent!
- Therefore as the tongue of fire devours the stubble, and as the dry grass sinks down in the flame, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust; because they have rejected the law of Yahweh of Armies, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
- Therefore Yahweh's anger burns against his people, and he has stretched out his hand against them, and has struck them. The mountains tremble, and their dead bodies are as refuse in the midst of the streets. For all this, his anger is not turned away, but his hand is still stretched out.
- He will lift up a banner to the nations from far, and he will whistle for them from the end of the earth. Behold, they will come speedily and swiftly.
- None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the belt of their waist be untied, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken:
- whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent. Their horses' hoofs will be like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind.
- Their roaring will be like a lioness. They will roar like young lions. Yes, they shall roar, and seize their prey and carry it off, and there will be no one to deliver.
- They will roar against them in that day like the roaring of the sea. If one looks to the land behold, darkness and distress. The light is darkened in its clouds.

- אשירה נא לידידי שירת דודי לכרמו כרם היה לידידי בקרן בן־שמן׃
- ויעזקהו ויסקלהו ויטעהו שרק ויבן מגדל בתוכו וגם־יקב חצב בו ויקו לעשות ענבים ויעש באשים׃
- ועתה יושב ירושלם ואיש יהודה שפטו־נא ביני ובין כרמי׃
- מה־לעשות עוד לכרמי ולא עשיתי בו מדוע קויתי לעשות ענבים ויעש באשים׃
- ועתה אודיעה־נא אתכם את אשר־אני עשה לכרמי הסר משוכתו והיה לבער פרץ גדרו והיה למרמס׃
- ואשיתהו בתה לא יזמר ולא יעדר ועלה שמיר ושית ועל העבים אצוה מהמטיר עליו מטר׃
- כי כרם יהוה צבאות בית ישראל ואיש יהודה נטע שעשועיו ויקו למשפט והנה משפח לצדקה והנה צעקה׃ ס
- הוי מגיעי בית בבית שדה בשדה יקריבו עד אפס מקום והושבתם לבדכם בקרב הארץ׃
- באזני יהוה צבאות אם־לא בתים רבים לשמה יהיו גדלים וטובים מאין יושב׃
- כי עשרת צמדי־כרם יעשו בת אחת וזרע חמר יעשה איפה׃ ף
- הוי משכימי בבקר שכר ירדפו מאחרי בנשף יין ידליקם׃
- והיה כנור ונבל תף וחליל ויין משתיהם ואת פעל יהוה לא יביטו ומעשה ידיו לא ראו׃
- לכן גלה עמי מבלי־דעת וכבודו מתי רעב והמונו צחה צמא׃
- לכן הרחיבה שאול נפשה ופערה פיה לבלי־חק וירד הדרה והמונה ושאונה ועלז בה׃
- וישח אדם וישפל־איש ועיני גבהים תשפלנה׃
- ויגבה יהוה צבאות במשפט והאל הקדוש נקדש בצדקה׃
- ורעו כבשים כדברם וחרבות מחים גרים יאכלו׃
- הוי משכי העון בחבלי השוא וכעבות העגלה חטאה׃
- האמרים ימהר יחישה מעשהו למען נראה ותקרב ותבואה עצת קדוש ישראל ונדעה׃ ס
- הוי האמרים לרע טוב ולטוב רע שמים חשך לאור ואור לחשך שמים מר למתוק ומתוק למר׃ ס
- הוי חכמים בעיניהם ונגד פניהם נבנים׃
- הוי גבורים לשתות יין ואנשי־חיל למסך שכר׃
- מצדיקי רשע עקב שחד וצדקת צדיקים יסירו ממנו׃ ס
- לכן כאכל קש לשון אש וחשש להבה ירפה שרשם כמק יהיה ופרחם כאבק יעלה כי מאסו את תורת יהוה צבאות ואת אמרת קדוש־ישראל נאצו׃
- על־כן חרה אף־יהוה בעמו ויט ידו עליו ויכהו וירגזו ההרים ותהי נבלתם כסוחה בקרב חוצות בכל־זאת לא־שב אפו ועוד ידו נטויה׃
- ונשא־נס לגוים מרחוק ושרק לו מקצה הארץ והנה מהרה קל יבוא׃
- אין־עיף ואין־כושל בו לא ינום ולא יישן ולא נפתח אזור חלציו ולא נתק שרוך נעליו׃
- אשר חציו שנונים וכל־קשתתיו דרכות פרסות סוסיו כצר נחשבו וגלגליו כסופה׃
- שאגה לו כלביא ככפירים וינהם ויאחז טרף ויפליט ואין מציל׃
- וינהם עליו ביום ההוא כנהמת־ים ונבט לארץ והנה־חשך צר ואור חשך בעריפיה׃ ף

- Cantabo dilecto meo canticum patruelis mei vineæ suæ. Vinea facta est dilecto meo in cornu filio olei.
- Et sepivit eam, et lapides elegit ex illa, et plantavit eam electam ; et ædificavit turrim in medio ejus, et torcular exstruxit in ea ; et exspectavit ut faceret uvas, et fecit labruscas.
- Nunc ergo, habitatores Jerusalem et viri Juda, judicate inter me et vineam meam.
- Quid est quod debui ultra facere vineæ meæ, et non feci ei ? an quod exspectavi ut faceret uvas, et fecit labruscas ?
- Et nunc ostendam vobis quid ego faciam vineæ meæ : auferam sepem ejus, et erit in direptionem ; diruam maceriam ejus, et erit in conculcationem.
- Et ponam eam desertam ; non putabitur et non fodietur : et ascendent vepres et spinæ, et nubibus mandabo ne pluant super eam imbrem.
- Vinea enim Domini exercituum domus Israël est ; et vir Juda germen ejus delectabile : et exspectavi ut faceret judicium, et ecce iniquitas ; et justitiam, et ecce clamor.
- Væ qui conjungitis domum ad domum, et agrum agro copulatis usque ad terminum loci ! Numquid habitabitis vos soli in medio terræ ?
- In auribus meis sunt hæc, dicit Dominus exercituum ; nisi domus multæ desertæ fuerint, grandes et pulchræ, absque habitatore.
- Decem enim jugera vinearum facient lagunculam unam, et triginta modii sementis facient modios tres.
- Væ qui consurgitis mane ad ebrietatem sectandam, et potandum usque ad vesperam, ut vino æstuetis !
- Cithara, et lyra, et tympanum, et tibia, et vinum in conviviis vestris ; et opus Domini non respicitis, nec opera manuum ejus consideratis.
- Propterea captivus ductus est populus meus, quia non habuit scientiam, et nobiles ejus interierunt fame, et multitudo ejus siti exaruit.
- Propterea dilatavit infernus animam suam, et aperuit os suum absque ullo termino ; et descendent fortes ejus, et populus ejus, et sublimes gloriosique ejus, ad eum.
- Et incurvabitur homo, et humiliabitur vir, et oculi sublimium deprimentur.
- Et exaltabitur Dominus exercituum in judicio ; et Deus sanctus sanctificabitur in justitia.
- Et pascentur agni juxta ordinem suum, et deserta in ubertatem versa advenæ comedent.
- Væ qui trahitis iniquitatem in funiculis vanitatis, et quasi vinculum plaustri peccatum !
- qui dicitis : Festinet, et cito veniat opus ejus, ut videamus ; et appropiet, et veniat consilium sancti Israël, et sciemus illud !
- Væ qui dicitis malum bonum, et bonum malum ; ponentes tenebras lucem, et lucem tenebras ; ponentes amarum in dulce, et dulce in amarum !
- Væ qui sapientes estis in oculis vestris, et coram vobismetipsis prudentes.
- Væ qui potentes estis ad bibendum vinum, et viri fortes ad miscendam ebrietatem !
- qui justificatis impium pro muneribus, et justitiam justi aufertis ab eo !
- Propter hoc, sicut devorat stipulam lingua ignis, et calor flammæ exurit, sic radix eorum quasi favilla erit, et germen eorum ut pulvis ascendet ; abjecerunt enim legem Domini exercituum, et eloquium sancti Israël blasphemaverunt.
- Ideo iratus est furor Domini in populum suum, et extendit manum suam super eum, et percussit eum : et conturbati sunt montes, et facta sunt morticina eorum quasi stercus in medio platearum. In his omnibus non est adversus furor ejus, sed adhuc manus ejus extenta.
- Et elevabit signum in nationibus procul, et sibilabit ad eum de finibus terræ : et ecce festinus velociter veniet.
- Non est deficiens neque laborans in eo ; non dormitabit, neque dormiet ; neque solvetur cingulum renum ejus, nec rumpetur corrigia calceamenti ejus.
- Sagittæ ejus acutæ, et omnes arcus ejus extenti. Ungulæ equorum ejus ut silex, et rotæ ejus quasi impetus tempestatis.
- Rugitus ejus ut leonis ; rugiet ut catuli leonum : et frendet, et tenebit prædam, et amplexabitur, et non erit qui eruat.
- Et sonabit super eum in die illa sicut sonitus maris : aspiciemus in terram, et ecce tenebræ tribulationis, et lux obtenebrata est in caligine ejus.

- Now will I sing to my wellbeloved a song of my beloved touching his vineyard. My wellbeloved hath a vineyard in a very fruitful hill:
- And he fenced it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also made a winepress therein: and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes.
- And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard.
- What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?
- And now go to; I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; and break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down:
- And I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor digged; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.
- For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for judgment, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold a cry.
- Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no place, that they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth!
- In mine ears said the LORD of hosts, Of a truth many houses shall be desolate, even great and fair, without inhabitant.
- Yea, ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and the seed of an homer shall yield an ephah.
- Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them!
- And the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe, and wine, are in their feasts: but they regard not the work of the LORD, neither consider the operation of his hands.
- Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst.
- Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.
- And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled:
- But the LORD of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness.
- Then shall the lambs feed after their manner, and the waste places of the fat ones shall strangers eat.
- Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart rope:
- 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 nigh and come, that we may know it!
- Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
- Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
- Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:
- Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!
- Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
- Therefore is the anger of the LORD kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them: and the hills did tremble, and their carcases were torn in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
- And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and will hiss unto them from the end of the earth: and, behold, they shall come with speed swiftly:
- None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the girdle of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken:
- Whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent, their horses' hoofs shall be counted like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind:
- Their roaring shall be like a lion, they shall roar like young lions: yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and shall carry it away safe, and none shall deliver it.
- And in that day they shall roar against them like the roaring of the sea: and if one look unto the land, behold darkness and sorrow, and the light is darkened in the heavens thereof.
