< 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.
Let me sing, I pray you, for my beloved, A song of my beloved as to his vineyard: My beloved hath a vineyard in 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 fenceth it, and casteth out its stones, And planteth it [with] a choice vine, And buildeth a tower in its midst, And also a wine press hath hewn out in it, And he waiteth for the yielding of grapes, And it yieldeth bad ones!
3 “Ní ìsinsin yìí ẹ̀yin olùgbé Jerusalẹmu àti ẹ̀yin ènìyàn Juda ẹ ṣe ìdájọ́ láàrín èmi àti ọgbà àjàrà mi.
And now, O inhabitant of Jerusalem, and man 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 — to do still to my vineyard, That I have not done in it! Wherefore, I waited to the yielding of grapes, And it yieldeth bad ones!
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, pray, let me cause you to know, That which I am doing to my vineyard, To turn aside its hedge, And it hath been for consumption, To break down its wall, And it hath been for a treading-place.
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 make it a waste, It is not pruned, nor arranged, And gone up have brier and thorn, And on the thick clouds I lay a charge, From raining upon it rain.
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.
Because the vineyard of Jehovah of Hosts [Is] the house of Israel, And the man of Judah His pleasant plant, And He waiteth for judgment, and lo, oppression, For righteousness, and lo, 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 [to] those joining house to house, Field to field they bring near, till there is no place, And ye have been settled by yourselves 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.
By the weapons of Jehovah of Hosts Do not many houses a desolation become? Great and good 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.”
For ten acres of vineyard do yield one bath, And an homer of seed yieldeth 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 [to] those rising early in the morning, Strong drink they pursue! Tarrying in twilight, 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 psaltery, tabret, and pipe, And wine, have been their banquets, And the work of Jehovah they behold not, Yea, the work of His hands they have not seen.
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 removed without knowledge, And its honourable ones are famished, And its multitude dried up of 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 hath Sheol enlarged herself, And hath opened her mouth without limit. And gone down hath its honour, and its multitude, And its noise, and its exulting one — into 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 bowed down is the low, and humbled the high, And the eyes of the haughty become 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 is high in judgment, And the Holy God sanctified 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 fed have lambs according to their leading, And waste places of the fat ones Do sojourners consume.
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 [to] those drawing out iniquity with cords of vanity, And as [with] thick ropes of the cart — sin.
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 are saying, 'Let Him hurry, Let Him hasten His work, that we may see, And let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel Draw near and come, and we know.'
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 [to] those saying to evil 'good,' And to good 'evil,' Putting darkness for light, and light for darkness, Putting 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 [to] the wise in their own eyes, And — before their own faces — intelligent!
22 Ègbé ni fún àwọn akọni nínú wáìnì mímu àti àwọn akíkanjú nínú àdàlú ọtí,
Woe [to] the mighty to drink wine, And men of strength to mingle strong drink.
23 tí wọ́n dá ẹlẹ́bi sílẹ̀ nítorí àbẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀, tí wọn sì du aláre ní ẹ̀tọ́.
Declaring righteous the wicked for a bribe, And the righteousness of the righteous They turn aside from him.
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 stubble, And flaming hay falleth, Their root is as muck, And their flower as dust goeth up. Because they have rejected the law of Jehovah of Hosts, And the saying of the Holy One of Israel despised.
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 hath the anger of Jehovah burned among His people, And He stretcheth out His hand against it, And smiteth it, and the mountains tremble, And their carcase is as filth in the midst of the out-places. With all this His anger did not turn back, And still His hand is stretched out!
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 lifted up an ensign to nations afar off, And hissed to it from the end of the earth, And lo, with haste, swift it cometh.
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.
There is none weary, nor stumbling in it, It doth not slumber, nor sleep, Nor opened hath been the girdle of its loins, Nor drawn away the latchet of its sandals.
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.
Whose arrows [are] sharp, and all its bows bent, Hoofs of its horses as flint have been reckoned, And its wheels as a hurricane!
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.
Its roaring [is] like a lioness, It roareth like young lions, And it howleth, and seizeth prey, And carrieth away safely, and there is none delivering.
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 it howleth against it in that day as the howling of a sea, And it hath looked attentively to the land, And lo, darkness — distress, And light hath been darkened by its abundance!
