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 [Level plain] 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 Adonai spoke by Isaiah [Salvation of Yah] the son of Amoz, saying, “Go, and loosen the sackcloth from off your waist, and take your shoes from off your feet.” 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.

Adonai said, “As my servant Isaiah [Salvation of Yah] has walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and a wonder concerning Egypt [Abode of slavery] 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 the king of Assyria [Level plain] will lead away the captives of Egypt [Abode of slavery] and the exiles of Ethiopia, young and old, naked and barefoot, and with buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt [Abode of slavery].

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

They will be dismayed and confounded, because of Ethiopia their expectation, and of Egypt [Abode of slavery] their glory.

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.

The inhabitants of this coast land will say in that day, ‘Behold, this is our expectation, where we fled for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria [Level plain]. And we, how will we escape?’”
