Isaayyaas 5
1 Ani naman jaalladhu sanaaf, faarfannaa waaʼee iddoo dhaabaa wayinii isaa nan faarfadha: Michuun koo gaara gabbataa irraa iddoo dhaabaa wayinii qaba.
Let me sing, I pray you, for a well-beloved of mine, The song of my beloved concerning his vineyard: —A vineyard, had my well-beloved on a very fruitful hill;
2 Innis lafa sana qotee isa irraa dhagaa balleessee wayinii filatamaa isa irra dhaabe. Qooxii eegumsaa isa keessatti ijaaree boolla wayinii itti cuunfan illee qote. Ergasii akka lafti qotiisaa sun ija gaarii kennu eeggate; inni garuu ija hamaa qofa kenne.
And he thoroughly digged it, And gathered out the stones thereof, And planted it with a precious vine, And built a tower in the midst thereof, Moreover also a wine-press, hewed he therein, —Then waited he that it should bring forth grapes. And it brought forth wild grapes:
3 “Yaa jiraattota Yerusaalemii fi saba Yihuudaa, mee dubbii anaa fi iddoo dhaabaa wayinii koo gidduu jiruuf murtii kennaa.
Now, therefore, O inhabitant of Jerusalem, And men of Judah, —Judge, I pray you, betwixt me, and my vineyard: —
4 Waan ani godheef kana caalaa wanni iddoo dhaabaa wayinii kootiif godhamuu malu maali? Yeroo ani ija wayinii gaarii barbaadetti inni maaliif ija hadhaaʼaa qofa naqate?
What could have been done further to my vineyard, That I had not done in it? Why then—When I had waited that it should bring forth grapes, Brought it forth, wild grapes?
5 Ani amma waanan iddoo dhaabaa wayinii koo gochuuf jiru isinitti nan hima; ani dallaa isaa nan diiga; innis ni bada; dallaa isaa dhagaa nan jigsa; innis gad dhidhiitama.
Now, therefore, I pray you, let me tell, you, what I am about to do to my vineyard, —To take away the fence thereof And it shall be eaten up, To destroy the wall thereof And it shall be trodden down;
6 Ani isa nan onsa; mukni wayinii isaas hin qoramu yookaan lafti isaa hin qotamu. Sokorruu fi qoraattiin achi keessatti guddata. Ani akka bokkaan itti hin roobneef duumessa nan ajaja.”
And I will make it a waste; —It shall be neither pruned nor hoed, But there shall come up briars and thorns, —And upon the clouds, will I lay a charge, That they rain thereon no rain.
7 Iddoon dhaabaa wayinii Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandaʼuu mana Israaʼel; namoonni Yihuudaa immoo iddoo biqiltuu inni itti gammaduu dha. Inni murtii qajeelaa barbaade; garuu dhiiga dhangalaafamu arge; qajeelummaa barbaade; garuu iyya warra miidhamee dhagaʼe.
Surely the vineyard of Yahweh of hosts, is the house of Israel, And, the men of Judah, are the plantation in which he dearly delighted, —And he waited, For equity but lo! murderous iniquity, For the rule of right but lo the cry of the wronged.
8 Isin warra hamma iddoon tokko iyyuu hin hafnetti mana irratti mana, lafa qotiisaa irratti lafa qotiisaa dabalattanii kophuma keessan biyya keessa jiraattaniif wayyoo!
Alas for them who join house to house, Field to field, bring they near, —Until there is no room, But ye are left to dwell alone in the midst of the land.
9 Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu utumaa ani dhagaʼuu akkana jedhee dubbate: “Dhugumaan manneen hedduun ni onu; manneen gurguddaanii fi babbareedoon nama keessa jiraatu dhabu.
In mine ears, [said] Yahweh of hosts, —Verily, houses in abundance, shall become, a desolation, Large and fair, without inhabitant;
10 Iddoo dhaabaa wayinii cimdii kudhan irraa daadhii wayinii baadoosii tokko qofatu galfama; sanyii qoroosii tokkoo irraa midhaan iifii tokkoo qofatu galfama.”
For, ten yokes of vineyard, shall yield one bath, —And the seed of a homer, shall yield an ephah,
11 Warra dhugaatii barbaachaaf ganamaan kaʼan, kanneen hamma daadhii wayiniitiin machaaʼanitti halkan dheereffataniif wayyoo.
Alas, for them who rise early in the morning that strong drink, they may pursue, —Who follow on in the evening cool [until] with wine, they are heated;
12 Isaan cidha isaanii irratti baganaa, kiraaraa fi dibbee, ulullee fi daadhii wayinii qabu; garuu hojii Waaqayyootiif dhimma hin qaban; hojii harka isaatiifis ulfina hin kennan.
And it cometh to pass—that lyre and harp, timbrel and flute and wine are in their banquets, —But, the doing of Yahweh, they do not discern, And the work of his hands, have they not seen.
13 Kanaafuu sabni koo sababii hubannaa dhabeef boojiʼama; namoonni isaanii bebbeekamoon beelaan, uummanni isaaniis dheebuudhaan dhumu.
Therefore, are my people taken away captive before they know it, —And their honourable men are famished with hunger, And, their multitude, do gape for thirst.
14 Kanaafuu Siiʼool garaa isaa balʼifatee afaan ofii isaa illee hamma malee banata; namoonni isaanii bebbeekamoonii fi uummanni isaanii warri wacanii fi warri gammadan hundis achi keessa buʼu. (Sheol h7585)
Therefore, hath hades enlarged her desire, And opened her mouth to its widest, —And their glory, and their multitude and their pomp. and he that is uproarious shall descend thereinto. (Sheol h7585)
15 Kanaafuu namni gad qabama; ilmaan namaa gad deebifamu; iji of tuultotaas lafa ilaala.
And the mean man hath been bowed down And the mighty man hath been humbled, —Yea the looks of the haughty shall be humbled.
16 Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu garuu murtii qajeelaa ofii isaatiin ol ol jedha; Waaqni qulqulluun qajeelummaa ofii isaatiin akka qulqulluu taʼe of argisiisa.
But Yahweh of hosts, hath been exalted, in justice, —And the GOD that is holy hath been hallowed in righteousness;
17 Yeroo sanatti hoolonni akkuma waan lafa dheeda isaanii keessa jiraniitti ni dheedu; xobbaallaawwan hoolaas iddoo sooreyyiin itti barbadaaʼan keessa dheedu.
Then shall the young rams feed where they please, —And, the wastes of the wealthy, shall strangers consume.
18 Warra funyoo gowwoomsaatiin cubbuu, funyoo gaariitiinis hammina harkisan,
Alas! for them Who draw on themselves punishment with cords of falsehood, —And as with waggon-bands, penalty:
19 kanneen, “Waaqni haa ariifatu; akka nu arginuuf inni hojii ofii isaa haa saffisiisu, wanni kun haa dhiʼaatu; akka nu beeknuufis karoorri Qulqullicha Israaʼel haa dhufu” jedhaniif wayyoo.
Who say—Let his work quicken—let it hasten, That we may see, —And let the purpose of Israel’s Holy One, draw near and come. That we may know!
20 Warra hamaadhaan gaarii, gaariidhaan immoo hamaa jedhaniif, kanneen ifaan dukkana, dukkanaan immoo ifa jedhaniif, warra miʼaawaadhaan hadhaaʼaa, hadhaaʼaadhaan immoo miʼaawaa jedhaniif wayyoo.
Alas! for 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 Warra akka yaada isaaniitti ogeeyyii, akka ilaalcha isaaniitti immoo abshaala of seʼaniif wayyoo.
Alas for them Who are wise in their own eyes, —And in their own sight, are prudent.
22 Warra daadhii wayinii dhuguutti jabaa, dhugaatii walitti makuuttis goota taʼaniif,
Alas for them Who are heroes to drink wine, —And men of valour to mingle strong drink,
23 warra mattaʼaa fudhatanii yakkamaa gad lakkisaniif, murtii nama balleessaa hin qabnee immoo jalʼisaniif wayyoo.
Who justify the lawless, for a bribe, —Whereas the righteousness of the righteous, they take from him.
24 Kanaafuu akkuma arrabni ibiddaa cidii lafa irraa arraabu, akkuma okaan ibiddaan gubatee badu sana hiddi isaanii ni tortora; daraaraan isaaniis akkuma awwaaraa bittinnaaʼee bada; isaan seera Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandaʼuu didanii dubbii Qulqullicha Israaʼel tuffataniiruutii.
Therefore, As a tongue of fire, eateth up straw, And a flame reduceth, dry grass, to powder, Their root, like rottenness, shall become, And their blossom, like dust shall ascend, —Because they refused the law of Yahweh of hosts, And the utterance of the Holy One of Israel, they despised.
25 Kanaafuu dheekkamsi Waaqayyoo saba isaatti ni bobaʼa; harki isaa ol kaʼee isaan rukuta. Tulluuwwan ni raafamu; reeffi isaaniis akkuma kosii daandii irratti gatamee taʼa. Kana hundaan illee dheekkamsi isaa hin qabbanoofne; harki isaas akkuma ol kaafametti jira.
For this cause, did the anger of Yahweh kindle upon his own people, And he stretched out his hand against them and smote them—So that the mountains, trembled, And, their dead bodies, served, for fuel in the midst of the streets. For all this, hath his anger, not turned back, But still, is his hand outstretched,
26 Inni saboota fagoo jiraniif faajjii ol qaba; warra moggaa lafaa jiranitti ni siiqsa. Isaanis kunoo ariifatanii dafanii dhufu.
Therefore will he lift up an ensign to the nations afar off, And signal for him from the end of the earth, —And lo! with hot haste, will he come:
27 Isaan keessaa namni tokko iyyuu hin dadhabu yookaan hin gufatu; namni tokko iyyuu hin mugu yookaan hin rafu; sabbanni mudhii isaanii hin laafu; hidhaan kophee isaaniis hin citu.
None shall be weary, and none shall stumble in his midst, He shall neither slumber nor sleep, —Nor shall be loosened, the girdle of his loins, Nor snapped, the thong of his sandals:
28 Xiyyi isaanii qaramaa dha; iddaan isaanii hundi qopheeffameera; kotteen fardeen isaanii akkuma dhagaa qara qabuu ti; gommaan gaarii isaaniis akkuma bubbee hamaa ti.
Whose arrows, are sharpened, and all his bows, bent, —The hoofs of his horses, like flint, are accounted, And, his wheels, [are] like a storm-wind:
29 Aaduun isaanii akkuma aaduu leencaa ti; isaan akkuma saafela leencaa aadu; yeroo waan adamsatan qabatanitti ni gururiʼu; isaan waan qabatan fudhatanii deemu; namni isaan harkaa buusuu dandaʼus hin jiru.
A roar, hath he, like a lioness, —He will roar like wild lions—And will growl, and lay hold on prey, and carry into safety, and there be none to deliver.
30 Gaafas isaan akkuma huursaa galaanaa waan sana irraa huursu. Namni tokko yoo biyya sana ilaale, inni dukkanaa fi rakkina arga; aduunis duumessaan dukkaneeffama.
Yea he will growl at him in that day, like the growling of the sea, —Though he look hard for the land, lo! the darkness of distress, Yea the light, hath grown dark in its clouds!
