Isaya 5
1 Abiro wero wend ngʼat ma ahero, wer mar puothe mar mzabibu niya: Jal ma ahero ne nigi puoth mzabibu e bath got kama omewo.
I will sing to my well-beloved a song of my beloved touching his vineyard: My well-beloved had a vineyard upon a fruitful hill.
2 Ne opure maber mogolo kite duto manie iye kendo opidhoe olembe mabeyo ahinya moyier. Ne ogero kama otingʼore gi malo mar ngʼicho e chuny puodhono bende noloso kama ibiyoe mzabibu. Eka nomanyo olembe mabeyo to kata kamano neginyago mana olembe maricho.
And he dug it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine; and he built a tower in the midst of it, and also hewed out a winepress therein; and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, but it brought forth wild grapes.
3 “Koro un joma odak Jerusalem to gi jogo modak Juda; ngʼadieuru bura e kinda kod puotha mar mzabibu.
And now, inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, between me and my vineyard.
4 Angʼo machielo mane onego otim e puotha mar mzabibu maloyo mano mane atimone? Kane adwaro olembe mabeyo to angʼo mane omiyo onyago mana mago maricho?
What was there yet to do 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? —
5 Koro abiro nyisou gima abiro timo ne puotha mar mzabibu: Abiro golo chiende oko, kendo ibiro kethe, abiro muko ohingane kendo nonyone piny.
And now, let me tell you what I am about to do to my vineyard: I will take away its hedge, and it shall be eaten up; I will break down its wall, and it shall be trodden under foot;
6 Bende anaweye kojwangʼore ma ok olose kata doye kendo ongʼono, kod kuthe ema nodongie. Abiro chiko boche polo mondo kik koth ochwene.”
and I will make it a waste — it shall not be pruned nor cultivated, but there shall come up briars and thorns; and I will command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.
7 Puoth mzabibu mar Jehova Nyasaye Maratego en od jo-Israel, kod jo-Juda e puodho mamiye mor. Osedwaro mondo ngʼado bura makare obedie, to oneno mana nek kendo osedwaro mondo one tim makare, to owinjo mana ywak mar lit.
For the vineyard of Jehovah of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah the plant of his delight: and he looked for justice, and behold, blood-shedding; for righteousness, and behold, a cry.
8 Unune malit, un joma mayo ji utegi ma gisegero kendo umayo ji puothegi, maonge kama odongʼ ma udongʼ ka udak kendu e pinyno.
Woe unto them that add house to house, that join field to field, until there is no more room, and that ye dwell yourselves alone in the midst of the land!
9 Jehova Nyasaye Maratego osewacho ayanga ka awinjo ni: “Kata kamano ute madongo biro dongʼ gunda, kendo ute madongo moger mabeyo biro dongʼ maonge joma odakie.
In mine ears Jehovah of hosts [hath said], Many houses shall assuredly become a desolation, great and excellent ones, without inhabitant.
10 Heka apar mar mzabibu nogol mana olemo karaya achiel kende, kendo kodhi moromo gorogoro nonyag cham maromo debe kende.”
Yea, ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and a homer of seed shall yield an ephah.
11 Unune malit un joma chiewo gokinyi kulawo kuonde kongʼo, un ma ubudho kuneno nyaka chuny otieno ka umer maonge rieko.
Woe unto them that, rising early in the morning, run after strong drink; that linger till twilight, [till] wine inflameth them!
12 Gitimo nyasigi gi kongʼo, gi nyatiti, gi orutu, gi oyieke kod asili, to ok gidewo gik ma Jehova Nyasaye osetimo bende ok giluoro tij lwete.
And harp and lyre, tambour and flute, and wine are in their banquets; but they regard not the work of Jehovah, nor do they see the operation of his hands.
13 Omiyo koro joga biro dhi e twech nikech bedo maonge winjo; jotendgi kech biro nego, Kendo oganda modongʼ to riyo ema biro nego.
Therefore my people are led away captive from lack of knowledge, and their nobility die of famine, and their multitude are parched with thirst.
14 Kuom mano piny joma otho ongʼamo dhoge malach ka dande oyawore malich; kendo enomuony jotelo kod oganda mamoko e kinde ma gikokee gi mor. (Sheol h7585)
Therefore doth Sheol enlarge its desire, and open its mouth without measure; and her splendour shall descend [into it], and her multitude, and her tumult, and [all] that is joyful within her. (Sheol h7585)
15 Omiyo dhano nodwok piny kendo ogendini duto nogol tekogi, kendo timbe jonjore notieki.
And the mean man shall be bowed down, and the great man brought low, and the eyes of the lofty shall be brought low;
16 To Jehova Nyasaye Maratego notingʼ malo gi timne makare, kendo Nyasaye maler nonyis lerne gi timne makare.
and Jehovah of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and the holy God hallowed in righteousness.
17 Eka rombe nokwa e legegi giwegi; to nyirombe nokwa e gundni mane mag jomoko.
And the lambs shall feed as on their pasture, and the waste places of the fat ones shall strangers eat.
18 Unune malit un joma osiko katimo richo ka umede gi miriambo, kod timbe anjawo,
Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as with cart-ropes!
19 kod joma wacho ni joga niya, “Nyasaye mondo oreti, kendo otim gima odwaro timo, mondo wanene. We gima Jal Maler mar Israel dwaro timo otimre mondo wangʼeye.”
who say, Let him hasten, let him speed 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!
20 Mano kaka nobed malit ne joma luongo tim mamono ni ber to tim maber ni rach; jogo maketo mudho kar ler to kar ler gikete mudho, joma keto gik makech kar mamit to mamit giketo kar makech.
Woe unto them 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 Mano kaka nobed malit ne jogo mariek e wengegi giwegi kendo kwano ni ongʼeyo gik moko duto.
Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and intelligent in their own esteem!
22 Mano kaka nobed malit ne thuondi mag madho kongʼo kendo molony e ruwo kongʼo makech.
Woe unto them that are mighty for drinking wine, and men valiant to mix strong drink;
23 Un ma uweyo joketho nikech asoya, to joma onge ketho ema utamo e adiera margi.
who justify the wicked for a bribe, and turn away the righteousness of the righteous from them!
24 Kuom mano kaka lew mach wangʼo yugi kendo kaka lum motwo lal nono e mach, e kaka tiendgi notow bende maua mawuok e itgi nolwar mana ka buru, nikech gisedagi chik mar Jehova Nyasaye Maratego kendo chayo wach Jal Maler mar Israel.
Therefore as a tongue of fire devoureth the stubble, and dry grass sinketh down in the flame, their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust; for they have rejected the law of Jehovah of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
25 Kuom mano Jehova Nyasaye osekecho gi joge; kendo oserieyo bade kuomgi monegogi. Gode yiengni kendo ringre joma otho odhurore e wangʼ yore ka yugi. To kata bed ni magi duto osetimore, to mirimbe pod ok okwe, nimar pod okecho kodgi.
Therefore is the anger of Jehovah kindled against his people, and he hath stretched out his hand against them and hath smitten them; and the mountains trembled, and their carcases are become as dung in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, and his hand is stretched out still.
26 Otingʼo bandera malo ne ogendini moa mabor, kendo ogoyo tungʼ koluongo jogo moa e tunge piny. Gibiro mapiyo piyo ka giringo matek.
And he will lift up a banner to the nations afar off, and will hiss for one from the end of the earth; and behold, it will come rapidly [and] lightly.
27 Onge kata mana ngʼato achiel kuomgi ma ol kata machwanyore, bende onge kata ngʼato achiel kuomgi ma nindo tero, bende onge moro ma okanda ombekni e nungone kata ma tond wuochene ochot.
None among them is weary, none stumbleth; they slumber not, nor sleep; none hath the girdle of his loins loosed, nor the thong of his sandals broken;
28 Asernigi bith bende atungegi duto oywa motegno, kendo faresegi ombongʼ tiendgi ojingʼ, tiend gechegi winyore ka kalausi.
their arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent; their horses' hoofs are reckoned as the flint, and their wheels as a whirlwind.
29 Giruto ka sibuor kendo gingʼur ka sibuoche matindo, bende gimor ka gidwaro mako le, mi gitingʼ-gi e dhogi maonge ngʼama nyalo resogi.
Their roaring is like a lioness, they roar as the young lions; yea, they growl, and snatch the prey, and carry it away safe, and there is none to deliver;
30 Odiechiengno ginirut kuome mana ka mor mar ataro. Kendo ka ngʼato ongʼiyo pinyno to none mudho gi kuyo; kata mana ler mar chiengʼ boche polo noum.
and they shall roar against them in that day like the roaring of the sea. And if one look upon the earth, behold darkness [and] distress, and the light is darkened in the heavens thereof.
