Isaia 20

1 Amy taoñe nanamea’ i Tartane i Asdodey, (ie nampañitrife’ ty mpanjaka’ i Asore), le nialia’e ty Asdode vaho tinava’e;

In the year that Tartan came to Ashdod, when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him, he fought against Ashdod and took it.

2 ie amy taoñe zay, le nitsara am’ Iesaià ana’ i Amotse t’Iehovà nanao ty hoe: Akia, abalaho hiafake an-toha’o eo i lamban-goniy vaho apolitiro am-pandia’o o hana’oo. Nanoe’e zay, nañavelo nihalo tsy aman-kana.

At that time Yahweh spoke by Isaiah son of Amoz and said, “Go and remove the sackcloth from your waist, and take your sandals off your feet.” He did so, walking naked and barefoot.

3 Le hoe t’Iehovà: Manahake te nañavelo tsy aman-tsaroñe, tsy aman-kana telo taoñe ty mpitoroko Iesaià, t’ie ho viloñe naho halatsañe amy Mitsraime naho amy Kose,

Yahweh said, “Just as my servant Isaiah has walked naked and barefoot for three years, it is a sign and an omen concerning Egypt and concerning Cush—

4 le ho kozozote’ ty mpanjaka’ i Asore o mpirohi’ i Mitsraimeo naho o hasese boake Koseo, hibongy vaho tsy ho aman-kana, ty kede naho ty bey, tsy ho aman-tsaro ty voli’e ho ami’ty hasalara’ i Mitsraime.

in this way the king of Assyria will lead away the captives of Egypt, and the exiles of Cush, young and old, naked and barefoot, and with buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.

5 Ho lonjetse naho meñatse iereo ty amy Kose, fitamà’ iareo, naho i Mitsraime fisengea’ iareo.

They will be dismayed and ashamed, because of Cush their hope and of Egypt their glory.

6 Le hanao ty hoe ty mpimoneñe añ’olo-tane atoy amy andro zay: Heheke o nitamaen-tikañeo, i nipitsihan-tika nipay olotse hivotsoran-tika amy mpanjaka’ i Asoreiy; tika ‘nio! aia ty hivoratsahan-tika?

The inhabitants of these coasts will say on that day, 'Indeed, this was our source of hope, where we fled for help to be rescued from the king of Assyria, and now, how can we escape?'”
