Isaiah 20

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

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

At the same time spoke the LORD by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go, and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins, and put off thy shoe from thy foot. And he did so, walking 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.

And the LORD said, As my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and barefoot three years [for] a sign and wonder upon Egypt and upon 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 shall the king of Assyria lead away the Egyptians prisoners, and the Cushites captives, young and old, naked and barefoot, even with [their] hind-parts uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.

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

And they shall be afraid and ashamed of Cush their expectation, and of Egypt their glory.

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 the inhabitant of this isle shall say in that day, Behold, such [is] our expectation, whither we flee for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria: and how shall we escape?
