< Isaiah 5 >

1 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.
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 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.
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 “Ní ìsinsin yìí ẹ̀yin olùgbé Jerusalẹmu àti ẹ̀yin ènìyàn Juda ẹ ṣe ìdájọ́ láàrín èmi àti ọgbà àjàrà mi.
And now, inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, between me and my vineyard.
4 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?
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 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.
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 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.”
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
In mine ears Jehovah of hosts [hath said], Many houses shall assuredly become a desolation, great and excellent ones, without inhabitant.
10 Ọgbà àjàrà sáré oko mẹ́wàá yóò mú ìkòkò wáìnì kan wá, nígbà tí òsùwọ̀n homeri kan yóò mú agbọ̀n irúgbìn kan wá.”
Yea, ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and a homer of seed shall yield an ephah.
11 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.
Woe unto them that, rising early in the morning, run after strong drink; that linger till twilight, [till] wine inflameth them!
12 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.
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 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.
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 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)
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 Báyìí, ènìyàn yóò di ìrẹ̀sílẹ̀ àti ọmọ ènìyàn ni a sọ di onírẹ̀lẹ̀ ojú agbéraga ni a sì rẹ̀ sílẹ̀.
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 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.
and Jehovah of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and the holy God hallowed in righteousness.
17 Nígbà náà ni àwọn àgùntàn yóò máa jẹ́ ko ní ibùgbé e wọn, àwọn ọ̀dọ́-àgùntàn yóò máa jẹ nínú ahoro àwọn ọlọ́rọ̀.
And the lambs shall feed as on their pasture, and the waste places of the fat ones shall strangers eat.
18 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,
Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as with cart-ropes!
19 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.”
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 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.
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 Ègbé ni fún àwọn tí ó gbọ́n lójú ara wọn tí wọ́n jáfáfá lójú ara wọn.
Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and intelligent in their own esteem!
22 Ègbé ni fún àwọn akọni nínú wáìnì mímu àti àwọn akíkanjú nínú àdàlú ọtí,
Woe unto them that are mighty for drinking wine, and men valiant to mix strong drink;
23 tí wọ́n dá ẹlẹ́bi sílẹ̀ nítorí àbẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀, tí wọn sì du aláre ní ẹ̀tọ́.
who justify the wicked for a bribe, and turn away the righteousness of the righteous from them!
24 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
their arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent; their horses' hoofs are reckoned as the flint, and their wheels as a whirlwind.
29 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.
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 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.
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.
