Isaiah 20
1 Siria siangpahrang Sargon ni ransabawi Ashdod hah a patoun dawkvah, ahni ni Ashdod kho hah a tuk teh a lawp.
In the year that Tartan came to Ashdod, when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him, and he fought against Ashdod and took it;
2 Hote tueng nah, BAWIPA ni Amoz capa Isaiah koe, cet haw. na kâyeng e buri hah rading nateh, na khok dawk e khokkhawm haiyah rading haw atipouh navah, ahni ni khohna hnat laipalah, khokkhawm khawm laipalah a cei ao.
at that time YHWH spoke by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, "Go, and loosen the sackcloth from off your waist, and take your sandals off your feet." He did so, walking naked and barefoot.
3 Hahoi, BAWIPA ni ka san Isaiah ni, Izip hoi Kush ramnaw hanelah, mitnout hoi kângairu hno lah, khohna hnat laipalah, khokkhawm khawm laipalah kum thum touh thung a ceio e patetlah,
YHWH said, "As my servant Isaiah has walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and a wonder concerning Egypt and concerning Ethiopia,
4 Siria siangpahrang ni Izipnaw hoi Kushnaw kacue kanaw pueng teh, khohna hnat laipalah, khokkhawm khawm laipalah, laheibaw boehai ramuk laipalah, a hrawi awh han. Hethateh, Izip ram e yeiraiponae doeh.
so the king of Assyria will lead away the captives of Egypt and the exiles of Ethiopia, young and old, naked and barefoot, and with buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.
5 Hatnavah, Ashdod khocanaw ni a taki awh han. Ahnimouh ni a kâuep awh e Kush ram hai thoseh, a kâoupkhai awh e Izip ram hai thoseh yeiraipo hoi ao awh han.
They will be dismayed and confounded, because of Ethiopia their expectation, and of Egypt their glory.
6 Hot hnin vah, hote palang rai kaawm e naw ni hai, khenhaw! Assiria siangpahrang e kut dawk hoi hlout nahanelah, maimouh ni ngaihawi teh kângue e naw koe, hettelah bo ao aw. Hat pawiteh, maimouh teh bangtelah hoi maw hlout thai awh han toung vaw, ati awh han a ti.
The inhabitants of this coast land will say in that day, 'Look, this is our expectation, where we fled for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria. And we, how will we escape?'"
