Isaiah 20

1 Rhalboei ha pawk kum ah anih te Ashdod la a tueih hatah Assyria manghai Sargon loh Ashdod te a vathoh thil tih a loh.

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 Te vaeng tue ah BOEIPA loh Amoz capa Isaiah kut ah a thui tih, “Cet lamtah na cinghen lamkah tlamhni te hlam laeh, na kho dongkah na khokhom khaw dul laeh,” a ti nah. Te dongah a saii tangloeng tih pumtling neh khotling la van.

at that time spoke Jehovah by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins, and put off thy sandal from thy foot. And he did so, walking naked and barefoot.

3 Te vaengah BOEIPA loh, “Ka sal Isaiah te pumtling neh khotling neh kum thum a van bangla Egypt neh Kusah taengah miknoek neh kopoekrhai om ni.

And Jehovah said, Like as my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and barefoot three years, a sign and a wonder concerning Egypt and concerning Ethiopia,

4 Assyria manghai Egypt tamna, Kusah hlangsol camoe patong te Egypt kah a yah dongah pumtling khotling neh a ael tlaai awk la a hmaithawn ni.

so shall the king of Assyria 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 Te vaengah amih kah a uepnah Kusah neh a boeimangnah Egypt khaw rhihyawp vetih yak ni.

And they shall be terrified and ashamed of Ethiopia their confidence, and of Egypt their boast.

6 Tekah khohnin ah tah te tuikaeng khosa long khaw, 'Assyria manghai mikhmuh lamloh aka huul ham bomnah neh mamih kah uepnah tah rhaelrham coeng tih mamih loh metlam m'poenghal eh he,’ a ti ni,” a ti.

And the inhabitants of this coast shall say in that day, Behold, such is our confidence, whither we fled for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria; and how shall we escape?
