< Isaiah 5 >
1 I will sing for my beloved a song of his vineyard: My beloved had a vineyard on a very fertile hill.
Ani naman jaalladhu sanaaf, faarfannaa waaʼee iddoo dhaabaa wayinii isaa nan faarfadha: Michuun koo gaara gabbataa irraa iddoo dhaabaa wayinii qaba.
2 He dug it up and cleared the stones and planted the finest vines. He built a watchtower in the middle and dug out a winepress as well. He waited for the vineyard to yield good grapes, but the fruit it produced was sour!
Innis lafa sana qotee isa irraa dhagaa balleessee wayinii filatamaa isa irra dhaabe. Qooxii eegumsaa isa keessatti ijaaree boolla wayinii itti cuunfan illee qote. Ergasii akka lafti qotiisaa sun ija gaarii kennu eeggate; inni garuu ija hamaa qofa kenne.
3 “And now, O dwellers of Jerusalem and men of Judah, I exhort you to judge between Me and My vineyard.
“Yaa jiraattota Yerusaalemii fi saba Yihuudaa, mee dubbii anaa fi iddoo dhaabaa wayinii koo gidduu jiruuf murtii kennaa.
4 What more could I have done for My vineyard than I already did for it? Why, when I expected sweet grapes, did it bring forth sour fruit?
Waan ani godheef kana caalaa wanni iddoo dhaabaa wayinii kootiif godhamuu malu maali? Yeroo ani ija wayinii gaarii barbaadetti inni maaliif ija hadhaaʼaa qofa naqate?
5 Now I will tell you what I am about to do to My vineyard: I will take away its hedge, and it will be consumed; I will tear down its wall, and it will be trampled.
Ani amma waanan iddoo dhaabaa wayinii koo gochuuf jiru isinitti nan hima; ani dallaa isaa nan diiga; innis ni bada; dallaa isaa dhagaa nan jigsa; innis gad dhidhiitama.
6 I will make it a wasteland, neither pruned nor cultivated, and thorns and briers will grow up. I will command the clouds that rain shall not fall on it.”
Ani isa nan onsa; mukni wayinii isaas hin qoramu yookaan lafti isaa hin qotamu. Sokorruu fi qoraattiin achi keessatti guddata. Ani akka bokkaan itti hin roobneef duumessa nan ajaja.”
7 For the vineyard of the LORD of Hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah are the plant of His delight. He looked for justice, but saw bloodshed; for righteousness, but heard a cry of distress.
Iddoon dhaabaa wayinii Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandaʼuu mana Israaʼel; namoonni Yihuudaa immoo iddoo biqiltuu inni itti gammaduu dha. Inni murtii qajeelaa barbaade; garuu dhiiga dhangalaafamu arge; qajeelummaa barbaade; garuu iyya warra miidhamee dhagaʼe.
8 Woe to you who add house to house and join field to field until no place is left and you live alone in the land.
Isin warra hamma iddoon tokko iyyuu hin hafnetti mana irratti mana, lafa qotiisaa irratti lafa qotiisaa dabalattanii kophuma keessan biyya keessa jiraattaniif wayyoo!
9 I heard the LORD of Hosts declare: “Surely many houses will become desolate, great mansions left unoccupied.
Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu utumaa ani dhagaʼuu akkana jedhee dubbate: “Dhugumaan manneen hedduun ni onu; manneen gurguddaanii fi babbareedoon nama keessa jiraatu dhabu.
10 For ten acres of vineyard will yield but a bath of wine, and a homer of seed only an ephah of grain.”
Iddoo dhaabaa wayinii cimdii kudhan irraa daadhii wayinii baadoosii tokko qofatu galfama; sanyii qoroosii tokkoo irraa midhaan iifii tokkoo qofatu galfama.”
11 Woe to those who rise early in the morning in pursuit of strong drink, who linger into the evening, to be inflamed by wine.
Warra dhugaatii barbaachaaf ganamaan kaʼan, kanneen hamma daadhii wayiniitiin machaaʼanitti halkan dheereffataniif wayyoo.
12 At their feasts are the lyre and harp, tambourines and flutes and wine. They disregard the actions of the LORD and fail to see the work of His hands.
Isaan cidha isaanii irratti baganaa, kiraaraa fi dibbee, ulullee fi daadhii wayinii qabu; garuu hojii Waaqayyootiif dhimma hin qaban; hojii harka isaatiifis ulfina hin kennan.
13 Therefore My people will go into exile for their lack of understanding; their dignitaries are starving and their masses are parched with thirst.
Kanaafuu sabni koo sababii hubannaa dhabeef boojiʼama; namoonni isaanii bebbeekamoon beelaan, uummanni isaaniis dheebuudhaan dhumu.
14 Therefore Sheol enlarges its throat and opens wide its enormous jaws, and down go Zion’s nobles and masses, her revelers and carousers! (Sheol )
Kanaafuu Siiʼool garaa isaa balʼifatee afaan ofii isaa illee hamma malee banata; namoonni isaanii bebbeekamoonii fi uummanni isaanii warri wacanii fi warri gammadan hundis achi keessa buʼu. (Sheol )
15 So mankind will be brought low, and each man humbled; the arrogant will lower their eyes.
Kanaafuu namni gad qabama; ilmaan namaa gad deebifamu; iji of tuultotaas lafa ilaala.
16 But the LORD of Hosts will be exalted by His justice, and the holy God will show Himself holy in righteousness.
Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu garuu murtii qajeelaa ofii isaatiin ol ol jedha; Waaqni qulqulluun qajeelummaa ofii isaatiin akka qulqulluu taʼe of argisiisa.
17 Lambs will graze as in their own pastures, and strangers will feed in the ruins of the wealthy.
Yeroo sanatti hoolonni akkuma waan lafa dheeda isaanii keessa jiraniitti ni dheedu; xobbaallaawwan hoolaas iddoo sooreyyiin itti barbadaaʼan keessa dheedu.
18 Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of deceit and pull sin along with cart ropes,
Warra funyoo gowwoomsaatiin cubbuu, funyoo gaariitiinis hammina harkisan,
19 to those who say, “Let Him hurry and hasten His work so that we may see it! Let the plan of the Holy One of Israel come so that we may know it!”
kanneen, “Waaqni haa ariifatu; akka nu arginuuf inni hojii ofii isaa haa saffisiisu, wanni kun haa dhiʼaatu; akka nu beeknuufis karoorri Qulqullicha Israaʼel haa dhufu” jedhaniif wayyoo.
20 Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who turn darkness to light and light to darkness, who replace bitter with sweet and sweet with bitter.
Warra hamaadhaan gaarii, gaariidhaan immoo hamaa jedhaniif, kanneen ifaan dukkana, dukkanaan immoo ifa jedhaniif, warra miʼaawaadhaan hadhaaʼaa, hadhaaʼaadhaan immoo miʼaawaa jedhaniif wayyoo.
21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight.
Warra akka yaada isaaniitti ogeeyyii, akka ilaalcha isaaniitti immoo abshaala of seʼaniif wayyoo.
22 Woe to those who are heroes in drinking wine and champions in mixing beer,
Warra daadhii wayinii dhuguutti jabaa, dhugaatii walitti makuuttis goota taʼaniif,
23 who acquit the guilty for a bribe and deprive the innocent of justice.
warra mattaʼaa fudhatanii yakkamaa gad lakkisaniif, murtii nama balleessaa hin qabnee immoo jalʼisaniif wayyoo.
24 Therefore, as a tongue of fire consumes the straw, and as dry grass shrivels in the flame, so their roots will decay and their blossoms will blow away like dust; for they have rejected the instruction of the LORD of Hosts and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
Kanaafuu akkuma arrabni ibiddaa cidii lafa irraa arraabu, akkuma okaan ibiddaan gubatee badu sana hiddi isaanii ni tortora; daraaraan isaaniis akkuma awwaaraa bittinnaaʼee bada; isaan seera Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandaʼuu didanii dubbii Qulqullicha Israaʼel tuffataniiruutii.
25 Therefore the anger of the LORD burns against His people; His hand is raised against them to strike them down. The mountains quake, and the corpses lay like refuse in the streets. Despite all this, His anger is not turned away; His hand is still upraised.
Kanaafuu dheekkamsi Waaqayyoo saba isaatti ni bobaʼa; harki isaa ol kaʼee isaan rukuta. Tulluuwwan ni raafamu; reeffi isaaniis akkuma kosii daandii irratti gatamee taʼa. Kana hundaan illee dheekkamsi isaa hin qabbanoofne; harki isaas akkuma ol kaafametti jira.
26 He lifts a banner for the distant nations and whistles for those at the ends of the earth. Behold—how speedily and swiftly they come!
Inni saboota fagoo jiraniif faajjii ol qaba; warra moggaa lafaa jiranitti ni siiqsa. Isaanis kunoo ariifatanii dafanii dhufu.
27 None of them grows weary or stumbles; no one slumbers or sleeps. No belt is loose and no sandal strap is broken.
Isaan keessaa namni tokko iyyuu hin dadhabu yookaan hin gufatu; namni tokko iyyuu hin mugu yookaan hin rafu; sabbanni mudhii isaanii hin laafu; hidhaan kophee isaaniis hin citu.
28 Their arrows are sharpened, and all their bows are strung. The hooves of their horses are like flint; their chariot wheels are like a whirlwind.
Xiyyi isaanii qaramaa dha; iddaan isaanii hundi qopheeffameera; kotteen fardeen isaanii akkuma dhagaa qara qabuu ti; gommaan gaarii isaaniis akkuma bubbee hamaa ti.
29 Their roaring is like that of a lion; they roar like young lions. They growl and seize their prey; they carry it away from deliverance.
Aaduun isaanii akkuma aaduu leencaa ti; isaan akkuma saafela leencaa aadu; yeroo waan adamsatan qabatanitti ni gururiʼu; isaan waan qabatan fudhatanii deemu; namni isaan harkaa buusuu dandaʼus hin jiru.
30 In that day they will roar over it, like the roaring of the sea. If one looks over the land, he will see darkness and distress; even the light will be obscured by clouds.
Gaafas isaan akkuma huursaa galaanaa waan sana irraa huursu. Namni tokko yoo biyya sana ilaale, inni dukkanaa fi rakkina arga; aduunis duumessaan dukkaneeffama.
