Isaiah 5
1 to sing please to/for beloved my song beloved: love my to/for vineyard his vineyard to be to/for beloved my in/on/with horn son: type of oil
Let me sing for my well beloved, a song of my beloved about his vineyard. My well beloved had a vineyard on a very fertile hill.
2 and to dig about him and to stone him and to plant him vine and to build tower in/on/with midst his and also wine to hew in/on/with him and to await to/for to make: do grape and to make: do sour grapes
He spaded it, removed the stones, and planted it with an excellent kind of vine. He built a tower in the middle of it, and also built a winepress. He waited for it to produce grapes, but it only produced wild grapes.
3 and now to dwell Jerusalem and man: anyone Judah to judge please between me and between vineyard my
So now, inhabitant of Jerusalem and man of Judah, judge between me and my vineyard.
4 what? to/for to make: do still to/for vineyard my and not to make: do in/on/with him why? to await to/for to make grape and to make sour grapes
What more could have been done for my vineyard, that I have not done for it? When I looked for it to produce grapes, why did it produce wild grapes?
5 and now to know please [obj] you [obj] which I to make: do to/for vineyard my to turn aside: remove hedge his and to be to/for to burn: destroy to break through wall his and to be to/for trampling
Now I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will remove the hedge, I will turn it into a pasture, I will break down its wall, and it will be trampled down.
6 and to set: make him waste not to prune and not to hoe and to ascend: rise thorn and thornbush and upon [the] cloud to command from to rain upon him rain
I will lay it waste, and it will not be pruned nor hoed. Instead, briers and thorns will spring up. I will also command the clouds not to rain on it.
7 for vineyard LORD Hosts house: household Israel and man: anyone Judah plantation delight his and to await to/for justice and behold bloodshed to/for righteousness and behold cry
For the vineyard of Yahweh of hosts is the house of Israel, and the man of Judah his pleasant planting; he waited for justice, but instead, there was killing; for righteousness, but, instead, a shout for help.

9 in/on/with ear: hearing my LORD Hosts if: surely yes not house: home many to/for horror: destroyed to be great: large and pleasant from nothing to dwell
Yahweh of hosts told me, many houses will be empty, even great and impressive ones, without any inhabitant.
10 for ten pair vineyard to make: do bath one and seed homer to make: do ephah
For a ten-yoke vineyard will yield only one bath, and one homer of seed will yield only an ephah.
11 woe! to rise in/on/with morning strong drink to pursue to delay in/on/with twilight wine to burn/pursue them
Woe to those who rise up early in the morning to obtain strong drink, those who linger late into the night until wine inflames them.
12 and to be lyre and harp tambourine and flute and wine feast their and [obj] work LORD not to look and deed: work hand his not to see: see
They banquet with harp, lute, tambourine, flute, and wine, but they do not recognize the work of Yahweh, nor have they considered the doings of his hands.
13 to/for so to reveal: remove people my from without knowledge and glory his man famine and crowd his parched thirst
Therefore my people have gone into captivity for lack of understanding; their honored leaders go hungry, and their common people have nothing to drink.
14 to/for so to enlarge hell: Sheol soul: appetite her and to open lip her to/for without statute: allotment and to go down glory her and crowd her and roar her and exultant in/on/with her (Sheol h7585)
Therefore Sheol has made its appetite greater and has opened its mouth very wide; their elite, the people, their leaders, and the revelers and those who are happy among them, descend into Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
15 and to bow man and to abase man: anyone and eye high to abase
Man will be forced to bend down, and mankind will be humbled; the eyes of the lofty will be cast down.
16 and to exult LORD Hosts in/on/with justice and [the] God [the] holy to consecrate: consecate in/on/with righteousness
Yahweh of hosts will be exalted in his justice, and God the Holy One will show himself holy by his righteousness.

Then the sheep will feed as in their own pasture, and in the ruins, lambs will graze as foreigners.

Woe to those who pull along iniquity with useless cords and who pull along sin as if it were with a cart rope.

Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who represent darkness as light, and light as darkness; who represent bitter as sweet, and sweet as bitter!
21 woe! wise in/on/with eye their and before face: before their to understand
Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own understanding!

24 to/for so like/as to eat stubble tongue fire and chaff flame to slacken root their like/as decay to be and flower their like/as dust to ascend: rise for to reject [obj] instruction LORD Hosts and [obj] word holy Israel to spurn
Therefore as the tongue of fire devours stubble, and as the dry grass goes down in flame, so their root will rot, and their blossom will blow away like dust. This will happen because they have rejected the law of Yahweh of hosts, and because they have despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
25 upon so to be incensed face: anger LORD in/on/with people his and to stretch hand his upon him and to smite him and to tremble [the] mountain: mount and to be carcass their like/as offal in/on/with entrails: among outside in/on/with all this not to return: turn back face: anger his and still hand his to stretch
Therefore the anger of Yahweh is kindled against his people. He has reached out with his hand against them and has punished them. The mountains tremble, and their corpses are like garbage in the streets. In all these things, his anger does not subside; instead, his hand is still stretched out.
26 and to lift: raise ensign to/for nation from distant and to whistle to/for him from end [the] land: country/planet and behold haste swift to come (in): come
He will lift up a signal flag for far away nations and will whistle for those at the end of the earth. Look, they will come speedily and promptly.

None tire or stumble among them; none slumbers or sleeps. Nor are their belts loose, or the thongs of their sandals broken.
28 which arrow his to sharpen and all bow his to tread hoof horse his like/as hard to devise: think and wheel his like/as whirlwind
Their arrows are sharp and all their bows are bent; their horses' hooves are like flint, and their chariot wheels like storms.
29 roaring to/for him like/as lion (to roar *Q(K)*) like/as lion and to groan and to grasp prey and to escape and nothing to rescue
Their roaring will be like a lion; they will roar like young lions. They will growl and seize the prey and drag it away, with none to rescue.

On that day they will roar against the prey as the sea roars. If anyone looks over the land, he will see darkness and suffering; even the light will be made dark by the clouds.
