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 entered Ashdod, when Sargon king of Assyria, sent him, —and he fought against Ashdod and captured 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, spake Yahweh, through Isaiah son of Amoz, saying, Go, and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins, And thy sandal, draw thou off from thy foot, —And he did so, walking disrobed 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.

Then said Yahweh, —As my servant Isaiah, hath walked, disrobed and barefoot three years as a sign and a wonder against Egypt and against 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 disrobed and barefoot, with their persons behind Uncovered the shame of Egypt.

5 Te vaengah amih kah a uepnah Kusah neh a boeimangnah Egypt khaw rhihyawp vetih yak ni.

Thus shall they be confounded and turn pale, —For Ethiopia, their expectation, and For 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 inhabitant of this shore, shall exclaim, in that day, Lo! such, is our expectation, whereunto we fled for help, that we might be delivered from the presence of the king of Assyria! How then shall, we, escape?
