Isaiah 5
1 Porongo ke nga ac yuk on soko inge, On soko lun kawuk luk ac ima in grape lal: Oasr ima in grape se lun kawuk luk Fin soko inging wo fohk we.
Let me sing for my well beloved a song of my beloved about his vineyard. My beloved had a vineyard on a very fruitful hill.
2 El pukanak fohk uh ac sisla eot kac; El yukwiya oa in grape na wowo. El musaela sie nien soan, Pukanak sie luf mwe fut grape loac. El soano in mwesrla grape uh, Tusruktu grape nukewa mukol.
He dug it up, gathered out its stones, planted it with the choicest vine, built a tower in the middle of it, and also cut out a wine press in it. He looked for it to yield grapes, but it yielded wild grapes.
3 Na kawuk luk el fahk, “Kowos mwet su muta in Jerusalem ac Judah, kowos in nununku inmasrlok ac ima in grape luk.
“Now, inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, please judge between me and my vineyard.
4 Mea, oasr pac ma enenu in orek ma nga tia orala? Na efu ku fokla tuh grape mukol, ac tia grape wowo ma nga finsrak nu kac?
What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? Why, when I looked for it to yield grapes, did it yield wild grapes?
5 “Pa inge ma nga ac oru nu ke ima se luk inge: nga ac kunausla kalkal kac ac rakinya pot uh, tuh kosro lemnak uh in ku in utyak, kangla ac lolongya.
Now I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard. I will take away its hedge, and it will be eaten up. I will break down its wall, and it will be trampled down.
6 Nga ac fuhlela in kupoi ke mah. Nga ac tia kifwi sroa ku imon infohk we; ac nga ac fuhlela kokul ac pulah in kupoiya. Nga ac sapkin pac nu ke pukunyeng uh in tia fuhlela af.”
I will lay it a wasteland. It won’t be pruned or hoed, but it will grow briers and thorns. I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain on it.”
7 Israel pa ima lun LEUM GOD Kulana; Mwet Judah pa sak ma El yukwiya. El tupan elos in oru ma wo, A elos orek akmas. El tupan elos in oru ma suwohs, A el lohng psren mwet akkeokyeyuk ke elos wowoyak in suk nununku suwohs.
For the vineyard of the LORD of Armies is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant. He looked for justice, but behold, oppression, for righteousness, but behold, a cry of distress.
8 We nu suwos! Pusla lohm ac ima kowos eisla in weang ma oasr yuruwos tari. Ac tia paht ac fah wanginla acn nu sin kutena mwet i n muta we, na kowos ac fah mukela muta in facl sac.
Woe to those who join house to house, who lay field to field, until there is no room, and you are made to dwell alone in the middle of the land!
9 Nga lohng LEUM GOD Kulana El fahk, “Lohm lulap wolana inge nukewa ac fah pisala ac oan musalla.
In my ears, the LORD of Armies says: “Surely many houses will be desolate, even great and beautiful, unoccupied.
10 Ima in grape ma kap ke acre limekosr ac fah orala gallon na limekosr ke wain. Bushel singoul ke fita uh ac fah orala bushel sefanna ke wheat,”
For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and a homer of seed shall yield an ephah.”
11 We nu suwos! Kowos toang tukakek ke lotutang na mutawauk nimnim, ac ke ekela kowos nimnim paht ac arulana sruhila.
Woe to those who rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink, who stay late into the night, until wine inflames them!
12 Oasr harp ac flute ac tambourine, oayapa wain ke kufwa lowos. Tusruktu kowos tia nunku ke LEUM GOD, ac kowos tia kalem ke ma El oru.
The harp, lyre, tambourine, and flute, with wine, are at their feasts; but they don’t respect the work of the LORD, neither have they considered the operation of his hands.
13 Ouinge kowos ac fah utukla nu in sruoh. Mwet kol lowos ac fah misa ke masrinsral, ac mwet ngia ac fah misa ke malu.
Therefore my people go into captivity for lack of knowledge. Their honourable men are famished, and their multitudes are parched with thirst.
14 Facl sin mwet misa uh mangelik in kangulosla. el ac ukumya mwet leum lun Jerusalem wi un mwet pilasr puspis ma arulana wohwon. (Sheol h7585)
Therefore Sheol has enlarged its desire, and opened its mouth without measure; and their glory, their multitude, their pomp, and he who rejoices amongst them, descend into it. (Sheol h7585)
15 Mwet nukewa ac fah mwekinla, ac elos nukewa su inse fulat ac fah akpusiselyeyuk.
So man is brought low, mankind is humbled, and the eyes of the arrogant ones are humbled;
16 Tusruktu LEUM GOD Kulana El akkalemye fulatlana lal ke orekma suwoswos lal, ac El fahkak mutal lal ke El nununku mwet lal.
but the LORD of Armies is exalted in justice, and God the Holy One is sanctified in righteousness.
17 In acn musalla in siti uh, sheep fusr fah mongo mah, ac nani fusr fah konauk acn in mongla.
Then the lambs will graze as in their pasture, and strangers will eat the ruins of the rich.
18 We nu suwos! Kowos tia ku in kaingla liki sucl in kikiap ma kaprikowosi, pwanang kowos amakin ma koluk lowos yen nukewa.
Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of falsehood, and wickedness as with cart rope,
19 Kowos fahk, “Lela LEUM GOD Elan aksaye oru ma El fahk mu El ac oru, kut in tari liye. Lela God mutal lun Israel in oru ako lal; tuh kut in ku in kalem ke nunak lal.”
who say, “Let him make haste, let him hasten his work, that we may see it; let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw near and come, that we may know it!”
20 We nu suwos! Kowos pangon ma koluk uh wo, ac pangon ma wo uh koluk. Kowos ekulla lohsr uh nu ke kalem, ac kalem nu ke lohsr. Kowos oru ma mukol in emwem, ac ma emwem in mukol.
Woe to those 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 We nu suwos! Kowos nunku mu kowos lalmwetmet ac arulana sumat.
Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
22 We nu suwos! Kowos su ku ke nim wain! Kowos pulaik ac wangin sangeng lowos ke pacl karyak mwe nimnim!
Woe to those who are mighty to drink wine, and champions at mixing strong drink;
23 Tusruktu ke sripen mwe eyeinse kowos aksukosokyela mwet oasr mwata, ac kowos tia lela nu sin mwet wangin mwata in eis nununku suwohs
who acquit the guilty for a bribe, but deny justice for the innocent!
24 Ke ma inge, oana ke loa ac mah pao uh ac firiryak in e uh, okah keiwos ac kulawi, ac ros farengla lowos ac fah uli ac sohkla, mweyen kowos pilesru ma LEUM GOD Kulana, God mutal lun Israel, El luti nu sesr.
Therefore as the tongue of fire devours the stubble, and as the dry grass sinks down in the flame, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust, because they have rejected the law of the LORD of Armies, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
25 LEUM GOD El kasrkusrak sin mwet lal, ac El asroela paol in kalyaelos. Eol uh ac fah kusrusryak, ac monin mwet misa ac fah oanna inkanek uh oana kutkut. Nwe ouinge, mulat lun LEUM GOD soenna safla, a paol ac srakna asroeyukla in oru kaiyuk lal.
Therefore the LORD’s anger burns against his people, and he has stretched out his hand against them and has struck them. The mountains tremble, and their dead bodies are as refuse in the middle of the streets. For all this, his anger is not turned away, but his hand is still stretched out.
26 LEUM GOD El kolak sie akul in pangon sie mutunfacl yen loessula. El oselos in tuku liki saflaiyen faclu. Ac liye, elos arulana sa in tuku!
He will lift up a banner to the nations from far away, and he will whistle for them from the end of the earth. Behold, they will come speedily and swiftly.
27 Wangin selos totola, wangin selos tukulkul, elos tiana mwetkeli ku motul. Pel lalos tiana foroti, mwe kapir fahluk lalos tiana wotelik.
No one shall be weary nor stumble amongst them; no one shall slumber nor sleep, neither shall the belt of their waist be untied, nor the strap of their sandals be broken,
28 Sukan pisr natulos kosroh, ac mwe pisr natulos akola in pisrikyuk. Falken horse natulos keke oana eot, ac wheel in chariot natulos for oana eng fohru.
whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent. Their horses’ hoofs will be like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind.
29 Mwet mweun lalos ngutngut oana lion ma sruokya ma nalos ac usla nu yen wangin ma ac ku in eisla selos.
Their roaring will be like a lioness. They will roar like young lions. Yes, they shall roar, and seize their prey and carry it off, and there will be no one to deliver.
30 Ke len sac ac tuku, pusraclos ac fah ngirngir fin acn Israel oana pusren noa meoa. Liyewin facl se inge! Lohsr ac fosrnga mukena! Pukunyeng uh kosrala kalem.
They will roar against them in that day like the roaring of the sea. If one looks to the land, behold, darkness and distress. The light is darkened in its clouds.
