< Isaiah 5 >

1 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.
Èmi yóò kọrin fún ẹni tí mo fẹ́ràn orin kan nípa ọgbà àjàrà rẹ̀. Olùfẹ́ mi ní ọgbà àjàrà kan ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ òkè ẹlẹ́tù lójú.
2 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.
Ó tu ilẹ̀ rẹ̀, ó ṣa òkúta ibẹ̀ kúrò ó sì gbin àyànfẹ́ àjàrà sí i. Ó kọ́ ilé ìṣọ́ sí inú rẹ̀ ó sì ṣe ìfúntí kan síbẹ̀ pẹ̀lú. Lẹ́yìn náà, ó ń retí èso àjàrà dáradára, ṣùgbọ́n èso búburú ni ó ti ibẹ̀ wá.
3 So now, inhabitant of Jerusalem and man of Judah, judge between me and my vineyard.
“Ní ìsinsin yìí ẹ̀yin olùgbé Jerusalẹmu àti ẹ̀yin ènìyàn Juda ẹ ṣe ìdájọ́ láàrín èmi àti ọgbà àjàrà mi.
4 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?
Kín ni ó kù tí n ò bá túnṣe sí ọgbà àjàrà mi. Ju èyí tí mo ti ṣe lọ? Nígbà tí mo ń wá èso dáradára, èéṣe tí ó fi so kíkan?
5 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.
Ní ìsinsin yìí, èmi yóò wí fún ọ ohun tí n ó ṣe sí ọgbà àjàrà mi. Èmi yóò gé igi inú rẹ̀ kúrò, a ó sì pa á run, Èmi yóò wó ògiri rẹ̀ lulẹ̀ yóò sì di ìtẹ̀mọ́lẹ̀.
6 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.
Èmi yóò sì sọ ọ́ di ahoro láì kọ ọ́ láì ro ó, ẹ̀wọ̀n àti ẹ̀gún ni yóò hù níbẹ̀. Èmi yóò sì pàṣẹ fún kurukuru láti má ṣe rọ̀jò sórí i rẹ̀.”
7 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.
Ọgbà àjàrà Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun ni ilé Israẹli àwọn ọkùnrin Juda sì ni àyànfẹ́ ọgbà rẹ̀. Ó retí ìdájọ́ ẹ̀tọ́ ṣùgbọ́n, ìtàjẹ̀ sílẹ̀ ni ó rí. Òun ń retí òdodo ṣùgbọ́n ó gbọ́ ẹkún ìpayínkeke.
8 Woe to those who join house to house, who join field to field, until no room remains, and you alone remain in the land!
Ègbé ni fún àwọn tí ń kọ́lé mọ́lé tí ó sì ń ra ilẹ̀ mọ́lẹ̀ tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí ààyè kò ṣẹ́kù tí ó sì nìkan gbé lórí ilẹ̀.
9 Yahweh of hosts told me, many houses will be empty, even great and impressive ones, without any inhabitant.
Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun ti sọ ọ́ sí mi létí: “Ó dájú pé àwọn ilé ńlá ńlá yóò di ahoro, àwọn ilé dáradára yóò wà láìní olùgbé.
10 For a ten-yoke vineyard will yield only one bath, and one homer of seed will yield only an ephah.
Ọgbà àjàrà sáré oko mẹ́wàá yóò mú ìkòkò wáìnì kan wá, nígbà tí òsùwọ̀n homeri kan yóò mú agbọ̀n irúgbìn kan wá.”
11 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.
Ègbé ni fún àwọn tí wọ́n dìde ní kùtùkùtù òwúrọ̀ láti lépa ọtí líle, tí wọ́n sì mu ún títí alẹ́ fi lẹ́ títí wọ́n fi gbinájẹ pẹ̀lú wáìnì.
12 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.
Wọ́n ní dùùrù àti ohun èlò orin olókùn níbi àsè wọn, ṣaworo òun fèrè àti wáìnì, ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò ka iṣẹ́ Olúwa sí, wọn kò sí bọ̀wọ̀ fún iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ rẹ̀.
13 Therefore my people have gone into captivity for lack of understanding; their honored leaders go hungry, and their common people have nothing to drink.
Nítorí náà àwọn ènìyàn mi yóò lọ sí ìgbèkùn nítorí òye kò sí fún wọn, ebi ni yóò pa àwọn ọlọ́lá wọn kú; ẹgbàágbèje wọn ni òǹgbẹ yóò sì gbẹ.
14 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)
Nítorí náà isà òkú ti ń dátọ́mì gidigidi, ó sì ti ya ẹnu rẹ̀ sílẹ̀ gbagada, nínú rẹ̀ ni àwọn gbajúmọ̀ àti mẹ̀kúnnù yóò sọ̀kalẹ̀ sí pẹ̀lú ọlá àti ògo wọn. (Sheol h7585)
15 Man will be forced to bend down, and mankind will be humbled; the eyes of the lofty will be cast down.
Báyìí, ènìyàn yóò di ìrẹ̀sílẹ̀ àti ọmọ ènìyàn ni a sọ di onírẹ̀lẹ̀ ojú agbéraga ni a sì rẹ̀ sílẹ̀.
16 Yahweh of hosts will be exalted in his justice, and God the Holy One will show himself holy by his righteousness.
Ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun ni a ó gbéga nípa ẹ̀tọ́ rẹ̀, Ọlọ́run ẹni mímọ́ yóò sì fi ara rẹ̀ hàn ní mímọ́ nípa òdodo rẹ̀.
17 Then the sheep will feed as in their own pasture, and in the ruins, lambs will graze as foreigners.
Nígbà náà ni àwọn àgùntàn yóò máa jẹ́ ko ní ibùgbé e wọn, àwọn ọ̀dọ́-àgùntàn yóò máa jẹ nínú ahoro àwọn ọlọ́rọ̀.
18 Woe to those who pull along iniquity with useless cords and who pull along sin as if it were with a cart rope.
Ègbé ni fún àwọn tí ń fi ohun asán fa ẹ̀ṣẹ̀, àti àwọn tí o dàbí ẹni pé wọ́n ń fi okùn kẹ̀kẹ́ ẹ̀sìn fa ẹsẹ̀,
19 Woe to those who say, “Let God hurry, let him act quickly, so we can see it happen; and let the plans of the Holy One of Israel come, so that we may know them.”
sí àwọn tí ó sọ pé, “Jẹ́ kí Ọlọ́run ṣe kíákíá, jẹ́ kí ó yára ṣiṣẹ́ rẹ̀ kí a lè rí i, jẹ́ kí ó súnmọ́ bí jẹ́ kí ètò ẹni mímọ́ Israẹli kí ó dé, kí àwa kí ó le mọ̀ ọ́n.”
20 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!
Ègbé ni fún àwọn tí ń pe ibi ní rere, àti rere ní ibi, tí ń fi òkùnkùn ṣe ìmọ́lẹ̀ àti ìmọ́lẹ̀ ṣe òkùnkùn, tí ń fi ìkorò ṣe adùn àti adùn ṣe ìkorò.
21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own understanding!
Ègbé ni fún àwọn tí ó gbọ́n lójú ara wọn tí wọ́n jáfáfá lójú ara wọn.
22 Woe to those who are champions at drinking wine, and masters at mixing strong drinks;
Ègbé ni fún àwọn akọni nínú wáìnì mímu àti àwọn akíkanjú nínú àdàlú ọtí,
23 who acquit the wicked for payment, and deprive the innocent of his rights!
tí wọ́n dá ẹlẹ́bi sílẹ̀ nítorí àbẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀, tí wọn sì du aláre ní ẹ̀tọ́.
24 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.
Nítorí náà, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ahọ́n iná ṣe ń jó àgékù koríko run àti bí koríko ṣe rẹlẹ̀ wẹ̀sì nínú iná, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni egbò wọn yóò jẹrà tí òdodo wọn yóò sì fẹ́ lọ bí eruku: nítorí pé wọ́n ti kọ òfin Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun sílẹ̀ wọ́n sì gan ọ̀rọ̀ Ẹni mímọ́ Israẹli.
25 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.
Nítorí náà, ìbínú Olúwa gbóná si àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀, ó ti gbé ọwọ́ rẹ̀ sókè, ó sì lù wọ́n bolẹ̀. Àwọn òkè sì wárìrì, òkú wọn sì dàbí ààtàn ní àárín ìgboro. Pẹ̀lú gbogbo èyí, ìbínú rẹ̀ kò yí kúrò, ṣùgbọ́n ọ̀wọ́ rẹ̀ sì ná jáde síbẹ̀.
26 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.
Yóò sì gbé ọ̀págun sókè sí àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí ó jìnnà, yóò sì kọ sí wọn tí ó wà ní ìpẹ̀kun ilẹ̀. Sì kíyèsi, wọ́n yóò yára wá kánkán.
27 None tire or stumble among them; none slumbers or sleeps. Nor are their belts loose, or the thongs of their sandals broken.
Kò sí ẹni tí yóò rẹ̀ nínú wọn, tàbí tí yóò kọsẹ̀, kò sí ẹni tí yóò tòògbé tàbí tí yóò sùn; bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àmùrè ẹ̀gbẹ́ wọn kì yóò tú, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni okùn sálúbàtà wọn kì yóò ja.
28 Their arrows are sharp and all their bows are bent; their horses' hooves are like flint, and their chariot wheels like storms.
Àwọn ọfà wọn múná, gbogbo ọrun wọn sì le; pátákò àwọn ẹṣin wọn le bí òkúta akọ, àwọn àgbá kẹ̀kẹ́ wọn sì dàbí ìjì líle.
29 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.
Bíbú wọn dàbí tí kìnnìún, wọ́n bú bí ẹgbọrọ kìnnìún, wọ́n ń kọ bí wọ́n ti di ẹran ọdẹ wọn mú tí wọn sì gbé e lọ láìsí ẹni tí yóò gbà á là.
30 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.
Ní ọjọ́ náà, wọn yóò hó lé e lórí gẹ́gẹ́ bí i rírú omi Òkun. Bí ènìyàn bá sì wo ilẹ̀, yóò rí òkùnkùn àti ìbànújẹ́; pẹ̀lúpẹ̀lú ìmọ́lẹ̀ yóò di òkùnkùn pẹ̀lú kurukuru rẹ̀.
