Isaiah 20

1 Assyria lengpa Sargon in, a sepai jalam kaipa henga Philistine khopi Ashdod lo dinga thu apeh khum chun,

Before the year that the chief commander, sent by Sargon king of Assyria, came to Ashdod and attacked and captured it,

2 Pakai in Amoz chapa Isaiah henga aseijin, “Na von chu sutlhan lang na kengchot teni jongchu koidoh in.” Isaiah in akisei bang chun abolin, sagoh keoleh kengkeo in avahlen ahi.

the LORD had already spoken through Isaiah son of Amoz, saying, “Go, remove the sackcloth from your waist and the sandals from your feet.” And Isaiah did so, walking around naked and barefoot.

3 Hichun Pakai in ahin seijin, “Ka sohpa Isaiah hi kumthum ahitai sagoh keo leh kengkeo va avalena hi. Hiche hi melchihna ahi-Egypt leh Ethiopia chunga hahsatna lentah kalhun sah ding vetsahna lim ahi.

Then the LORD said, “Just as My servant Isaiah has gone naked and barefoot for three years as a sign and omen against Egypt and Cush,

4 Ajeh chu Assyria lengpan Egypt teleh Ethiopia te songkul tang dinga apui mang ding ahi. Sagoh keo leh kengchot beija avaleh sah ding, Egypt mite jumna dinga aneo alen atokeu uva alhat lesah ding ahi.

so the king of Assyria will lead away the captives of Egypt and the exiles of Cush, young and old alike, naked and barefoot, with bared buttocks—to Egypt’s shame.

5 Chuteng Philistine te lung linglao a umdiu ahi. Ajehchu amahon Ethiopia thanei akisonpiu va, chuleh akisamkai piu Egypt a kiletsah piu ahi.

Those who made Cush their hope and Egypt their boast will be dismayed and ashamed.

6 Hitia hi asei diu ahi, 'Hitobang hi Egypt te chunga ahunglhun theileh, eihon ipi agom kom phat inei diu ham? Assyria lengpa akona eihuhdoh dinguva Egypt te ina kisonpiu ahi.”

And on that day the dwellers of this coastland will say, ‘See what has happened to our source of hope, those to whom we fled for help and deliverance from the king of Assyria! How then can we escape?’”
