Aịzaya 5
1 Aga m abụ abụ nye onye m hụrụ nʼanya, abụ banyere ubi vaịnị ya. Onye m hụrụ nʼanya nwere ubi ya nʼelu ugwu nta nke bụ ezi ala.
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 O gwuzere ya, wepụsịa okwute niile dị nʼime ya, werekwa mkpụrụ vaịnị mara mma kụọ nʼime ya. O wuru ụlọ nche nʼetiti ya, sitekwa na nkume wapụtakwa ebe ịzọcha mmanya. Emesịa, ọ nọdụrụ chere oge owuwe ihe ubi. Mgbe oge ahụ ruru, ọ chọpụtara na nʼọnọdụ mkpụrụ vaịnị mara mma, ọ bụ ndị jọrọ njọ mịrị.
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 “Ugbu a, ndị ikom Jerusalem na Juda, unu anụla ihe mere. Kpebienụ ikpe a dị nʼetiti mụ na ubi vaịnị m.
And now, inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, between me and my vineyard.
4 Olee ihe ọzọ m gaara emere ya karịa ihe m mere? Gịnị mere ubi vaịnị m ji mịara m mkpụrụ jọrọ njọ nʼọnọdụ mkpụrụ na-atọ ụtọ?
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 Ugbu a, lee, ihe m na-aga ime ubi vaịnị m a. Aga m ewepụ ihe mgbochi a gbara ya, hapụ ya ka ọ ghọọ ebe anụ ụlọ na-ata nri. Aga m etida mgbidi ya hapụ ya ka ọ bụrụ ebe a na-azọtọ ụkwụ.
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 Agaghị m akwachakwa ya ọzọ. Agakwaghị m egwuru ya ala, aga m ahapụ ya ka ogwu na uke too nʼime ya. Aga m enyekwa igwe ojii iwu ka mmiri ghara izokwasị ya ọzọ.”
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 Ubi vaịnị nke Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, bụ mba Izrel na ndị Juda, ha bụ vaịnị ahụ nke nʼatọ obi ya ụtọ. Ma o lere anya ikpe ziri ezi, ma ihe ọ hụrụ bụ iwusi ọbara. O lere anya ezi omume, ma ihe ọ nụrụ bụ mkpu akwa ndị a na-emegbu emegbu.
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 Ahụhụ dịrị unu ndị na-azụkọta ala ma ndị ọzọ ahụghị ebe ha ga-ebi, unu ndị na-ewu ụlọ na-ewukwasị ụlọ nʼala buru ibu, ime ka ọ bụrụ naanị unu bi nʼụwa.
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 Ma Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile ekwuola ihe banyere unu, na ọnọdụ unu. Eji m ntị m abụọ nụ mgbe ọ na-asị, “Nʼezie, ọtụtụ ụlọ mara mma ga-atọgbọrọ nʼefu, ụlọ ukwu mara mma ndị nwe ha agaghị anọkwa.
In mine ears Jehovah of hosts [hath said], Many houses shall assuredly become a desolation, great and excellent ones, without inhabitant.
10 Ubi vaịnị ahụ a ga-eji ehi abụọ kọọ ụbọchị iri ga-ewepụta naanị ihe nwere ike iru galọọnụ mmanya isii, ma ọka a kọrọ, nke ruru akpa ọka atọ ga-amịpụta ihe ruru otu akpa nʼọkara.”
Yea, ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and a homer of seed shall yield an ephah.
11 Ahụhụ ga-adịrị unu niile ndị na-ebili nʼisi ụtụtụ ịgbaso mmanya. Ndị na-amụgide anya abalị tutu ruo mgbe ha ṅụbigara mmanya oke.
Woe unto them that, rising early in the morning, run after strong drink; that linger till twilight, [till] wine inflameth them!
12 Unu na-eji ụbọ akwara dị iche iche na une, na ihe iti egwu na opi, na mmanya na-eme onwe unu obi ụtọ nʼoge mmemme oriri unu, ma unu na-elelị Onyenwe anyị anya; unu adịghịkwa asọpụrụ akaọrụ ya.
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 Nʼihi ya, ndị m ga-eje biri na mba ọzọ, nʼihi amaghị ihe; ndị ọkwa ha dị elu ga-anwụ nʼihi agụụ, ndị mmadụ efu ga-abụ ndị akpịrị ga-akpọ nkụ nʼihi agụụ mmiri.
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 Nʼihi ya, ala mmụọ na-eme ka ọchịchọ ya saa mbara, ọ na-asaghebigakwa ọnụ ya oke; ndị ukwu na ndị nta bi nʼime ala a ka ọ ga-elo, tinyere ndị na-emebiga mkpọtụ oke, na ndị na-egwuribiga egwu ọṅụ oke. (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 Nʼụbọchị ahụ, a ga-eweda nʼala ndị dị elu, na ndị dị ala, ndị mpako ka a ga-eweda nʼala.
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 Ma Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, nwee ọnọdụ dịkarịsịrị elu, nʼihi ikpe ikpe ziri ezi ya, Chineke onye dị nsọ na-egosikwa onwe ya na ọ dị nsọ site nʼezi omume ya.
and Jehovah of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and the holy God hallowed in righteousness.
17 Mgbe ahụ, ụmụ atụrụ ga-akpa nri ha dị ka ọ bụ nʼọzara ka ha nọ, ehi na anụ ụlọ ga-akpa nri ha nʼụlọ ndị ọgaranya niile e tikpọrọ etikpọ.
And the lambs shall feed as on their pasture, and the waste places of the fat ones shall strangers eat.
18 Ahụhụ ga-adịrị ndị ji aghụghọ na-adọkpụgharị mmehie ha; ahụhụ dịkwara ndị na-adọkpụgharị ajọ omume ha dịka ụdọ eji adọkpụgharị ụgbọala.
Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as with cart-ropes!
19 Nye ndị ahụ na-asị “Ka Chineke mee ngwa; ya rụọ ọrụ ya ọsịịsọ, ka anyị hụ ya. Atụmatụ nke Onye nsọ nke Izrel, ka ọ bịaruo nso, ka ọ pụta ìhè, ka anyị nwe ike mara ihe o zubere.”
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 Ahụhụ dịrị ndị na-akpọ ihe ọjọọ ezi ihe ndị na-akpọkwa ezi ihe ihe ọjọọ, ndị na-etinye ọchịchịrị nʼọnọdụ ìhè na ìhè nʼọnọdụ ọchịchịrị ndị na-etinye ihe dị ilu nʼọnọdụ ihe ụtọ, na ihe ụtọ nʼọnọdụ ihe ilu.
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 Ahụhụ ga-adịrị ndị maara ihe nʼanya nke onwe ha, ndị na-elekwa onwe ha anya na ha bụ ndị nwere nghọta.
Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and intelligent in their own esteem!
22 Ahụhụ ga-adịrị ndị bụ dike nʼịṅụ mmanya, na ndị bụkwa dimkpa nʼịgwakọta mmanya,
Woe unto them that are mighty for drinking wine, and men valiant to mix strong drink;
23 ndị na-asị onye ikpe maara nʼikpe amaghị ya nʼihi ịnata ngarị, ma wezuga ikpe ziri ezi site nʼebe onye aka ya dị ọcha nọ.
who justify the wicked for a bribe, and turn away the righteousness of the righteous from them!
24 Nʼihi ya, dịka ire ọkụ si erechapụ ahịhịa ọka, na dịka ahịhịa kpọrọ nkụ si ada nʼime ọkụ na-enwu enwu, otu a ka mgbọrọgwụ ha ga-ere ure okoko ha ka ikuku ga-ebufu dịka uzuzu; nʼihi na ha ajụla iwu niile Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile nyere, lelịakwa okwu nke Onye nsọ Izrel.
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 Nʼihi nke a, iwe Onyenwe anyị dị ọkụ megide ndị ya; o setịpụrụ aka ya na-etitu ha nʼala. Ugwu niile ga-ama jijiji, ozu ndị ahụ dịka ihe na-abaghị uru nʼokporoụzọ niile. Ma nʼagbanyeghị ihe ndị a niile, iwe ya alaghachibeghị azụ, aka ya ka setịpụkwara esetipụ.
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 Ọ ga-eweli ọkọlọtọ nye mba niile dị nʼebe dị anya, ọ na-akpọkọta ndị niile nọ na nsọtụ ụwa. Ma lee, ka ha na-abịa, ha na-eme ngwa bịa ọsịịsọ.
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 Ọ dịghị onye na-ada mba, ọ dịkwaghị onye nʼasụ ngọngọ nʼime ha, ọ dịghị onye nʼatụ oru ụra maọbụ rahụ ụra, ọ dịghị ihe ike nʼukwu ha nke tọpụrụ atọpụ ọ dịghị ihe ikechi akpụkpọụkwụ nke dọbiri adọbi.
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 Àkụ ha niile dị nkọ, ekweela ụta ha niile, ụkwụ ịnyịnya dị ka nkume ọkụ, ụkwụ ụgbọ agha ha dị ka oke ifufe.
their arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent; their horses' hoofs are reckoned as the flint, and their wheels as a whirlwind.
29 Ha na-ebigbọ dịka ọdụm, ha na-ebigbọkwa dịka ụmụ ọdụm; ha na-asụ mgbe ha wụkwasịrị nʼelu ihe ndọgbu. Ha na-ejide ndị m, kpụrụ ha laa, ọ dịkwaghị onye nnapụta ha nwere.
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 Nʼụbọchị ahụ, ha ga-ebigbọ nʼelu ya dịka mbigbọ nke oke osimiri. A sịkwa na mmadụ elegide ala ahụ anya, ọ ga-ahụ na ọchịchịrị na ihe mgbu, ọ bụladị anyanwụ ka igwe ojii ga-eme ka ọ gbaa ọchịchịrị.
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.
