Isaiah 20

1 Siria siangpahrang Sargon ni ransabawi Ashdod hah a patoun dawkvah, ahni ni Ashdod kho hah a tuk teh a lawp.

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 Hote tueng nah, BAWIPA ni Amoz capa Isaiah koe, cet haw. na kâyeng e buri hah rading nateh, na khok dawk e khokkhawm haiyah rading haw atipouh navah, ahni ni khohna hnat laipalah, khokkhawm khawm laipalah a cei ao.

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 Hahoi, BAWIPA ni ka san Isaiah ni, Izip hoi Kush ramnaw hanelah, mitnout hoi kângairu hno lah, khohna hnat laipalah, khokkhawm khawm laipalah kum thum touh thung a ceio e patetlah,

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 Siria siangpahrang ni Izipnaw hoi Kushnaw kacue kanaw pueng teh, khohna hnat laipalah, khokkhawm khawm laipalah, laheibaw boehai ramuk laipalah, a hrawi awh han. Hethateh, Izip ram e yeiraiponae doeh.

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 Hatnavah, Ashdod khocanaw ni a taki awh han. Ahnimouh ni a kâuep awh e Kush ram hai thoseh, a kâoupkhai awh e Izip ram hai thoseh yeiraipo hoi ao awh han.

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

6 Hot hnin vah, hote palang rai kaawm e naw ni hai, khenhaw! Assiria siangpahrang e kut dawk hoi hlout nahanelah, maimouh ni ngaihawi teh kângue e naw koe, hettelah bo ao aw. Hat pawiteh, maimouh teh bangtelah hoi maw hlout thai awh han toung vaw, ati awh han 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?
