< Isaiah 5 >

1 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.
Abiro wero wend ngʼat ma ahero, wer mar puothe mar mzabibu niya: Jal ma ahero ne nigi puoth mzabibu e bath got kama omewo.
2 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.
Ne opure maber mogolo kite duto manie iye kendo opidhoe olembe mabeyo ahinya moyier. Ne ogero kama otingʼore gi malo mar ngʼicho e chuny puodhono bende noloso kama ibiyoe mzabibu. Eka nomanyo olembe mabeyo to kata kamano neginyago mana olembe maricho.
3 “Now, inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, please judge between me and my vineyard.
“Koro un joma odak Jerusalem to gi jogo modak Juda; ngʼadieuru bura e kinda kod puotha mar mzabibu.
4 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?
Angʼo machielo mane onego otim e puotha mar mzabibu maloyo mano mane atimone? Kane adwaro olembe mabeyo to angʼo mane omiyo onyago mana mago maricho?
5 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.
Koro abiro nyisou gima abiro timo ne puotha mar mzabibu: Abiro golo chiende oko, kendo ibiro kethe, abiro muko ohingane kendo nonyone piny.
6 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.”
Bende anaweye kojwangʼore ma ok olose kata doye kendo ongʼono, kod kuthe ema nodongie. Abiro chiko boche polo mondo kik koth ochwene.”
7 For the vineyard of the LORD of Hosts 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.
Puoth mzabibu mar Jehova Nyasaye Maratego en od jo-Israel, kod jo-Juda e puodho mamiye mor. Osedwaro mondo ngʼado bura makare obedie, to oneno mana nek kendo osedwaro mondo one tim makare, to owinjo mana ywak mar lit.
8 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!
Unune malit, un joma mayo ji utegi ma gisegero kendo umayo ji puothegi, maonge kama odongʼ ma udongʼ ka udak kendu e pinyno.
9 In my ears, the LORD of Hosts says: “Surely many houses will be desolate, even great and beautiful, unoccupied.
Jehova Nyasaye Maratego osewacho ayanga ka awinjo ni: “Kata kamano ute madongo biro dongʼ gunda, kendo ute madongo moger mabeyo biro dongʼ maonge joma odakie.
10 For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and a homer of seed shall yield an efah.”
Heka apar mar mzabibu nogol mana olemo karaya achiel kende, kendo kodhi moromo gorogoro nonyag cham maromo debe kende.”
11 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!
Unune malit un joma chiewo gokinyi kulawo kuonde kongʼo, un ma ubudho kuneno nyaka chuny otieno ka umer maonge rieko.
12 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.
Gitimo nyasigi gi kongʼo, gi nyatiti, gi orutu, gi oyieke kod asili, to ok gidewo gik ma Jehova Nyasaye osetimo bende ok giluoro tij lwete.
13 Therefore my people go into captivity for lack of knowledge. Their honorable men are famished, and their multitudes are parched with thirst.
Omiyo koro joga biro dhi e twech nikech bedo maonge winjo; jotendgi kech biro nego, Kendo oganda modongʼ to riyo ema biro nego.
14 Therefore Sheol has enlarged its desire, and opened its mouth without measure; and their glory, their multitude, their pomp, and he who rejoices among them, descend into it. (Sheol h7585)
Kuom mano piny joma otho ongʼamo dhoge malach ka dande oyawore malich; kendo enomuony jotelo kod oganda mamoko e kinde ma gikokee gi mor. (Sheol h7585)
15 So man is brought low, mankind is humbled, and the eyes of the arrogant ones are humbled;
Omiyo dhano nodwok piny kendo ogendini duto nogol tekogi, kendo timbe jonjore notieki.
16 but the LORD of Hosts is exalted in justice, and God the Holy One is sanctified in righteousness.
To Jehova Nyasaye Maratego notingʼ malo gi timne makare, kendo Nyasaye maler nonyis lerne gi timne makare.
17 Then the lambs will graze as in their pasture, and strangers will eat the ruins of the rich.
Eka rombe nokwa e legegi giwegi; to nyirombe nokwa e gundni mane mag jomoko.
18 Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of falsehood, and wickedness as with cart rope,
Unune malit un joma osiko katimo richo ka umede gi miriambo, kod timbe anjawo,
19 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!”
kod joma wacho ni joga niya, “Nyasaye mondo oreti, kendo otim gima odwaro timo, mondo wanene. We gima Jal Maler mar Israel dwaro timo otimre mondo wangʼeye.”
20 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!
Mano kaka nobed malit ne joma luongo tim mamono ni ber to tim maber ni rach; jogo maketo mudho kar ler to kar ler gikete mudho, joma keto gik makech kar mamit to mamit giketo kar makech.
21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
Mano kaka nobed malit ne jogo mariek e wengegi giwegi kendo kwano ni ongʼeyo gik moko duto.
22 Woe to those who are mighty to drink wine, and champions at mixing strong drink;
Mano kaka nobed malit ne thuondi mag madho kongʼo kendo molony e ruwo kongʼo makech.
23 who acquit the guilty for a bribe, but deny justice for the innocent!
Un ma uweyo joketho nikech asoya, to joma onge ketho ema utamo e adiera margi.
24 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 Hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
Kuom mano kaka lew mach wangʼo yugi kendo kaka lum motwo lal nono e mach, e kaka tiendgi notow bende maua mawuok e itgi nolwar mana ka buru, nikech gisedagi chik mar Jehova Nyasaye Maratego kendo chayo wach Jal Maler mar Israel.
25 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.
Kuom mano Jehova Nyasaye osekecho gi joge; kendo oserieyo bade kuomgi monegogi. Gode yiengni kendo ringre joma otho odhurore e wangʼ yore ka yugi. To kata bed ni magi duto osetimore, to mirimbe pod ok okwe, nimar pod okecho kodgi.
26 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.
Otingʼo bandera malo ne ogendini moa mabor, kendo ogoyo tungʼ koluongo jogo moa e tunge piny. Gibiro mapiyo piyo ka giringo matek.
27 No one shall be weary nor stumble among them; no one shall slumber nor sleep, neither shall the belt of their waist be untied, nor the strap of their sandals be broken,
Onge kata mana ngʼato achiel kuomgi ma ol kata machwanyore, bende onge kata ngʼato achiel kuomgi ma nindo tero, bende onge moro ma okanda ombekni e nungone kata ma tond wuochene ochot.
28 whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent. Their horses’ hoofs will be like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind.
Asernigi bith bende atungegi duto oywa motegno, kendo faresegi ombongʼ tiendgi ojingʼ, tiend gechegi winyore ka kalausi.
29 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.
Giruto ka sibuor kendo gingʼur ka sibuoche matindo, bende gimor ka gidwaro mako le, mi gitingʼ-gi e dhogi maonge ngʼama nyalo resogi.
30 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.
Odiechiengno ginirut kuome mana ka mor mar ataro. Kendo ka ngʼato ongʼiyo pinyno to none mudho gi kuyo; kata mana ler mar chiengʼ boche polo noum.
