Isaya 20

1 E higano mane Sargon ruodh Asuria nooro jatend lweny maduongʼ, nodhi Ashdod mi omonje kendo okawe,

In the year in which Tharthan entered into Ashdod, when Sargon, the king of the Assyrians, had sent him, and when he had fought against Ashdod and had captured it,

2 kendo e ndalono ema ne Jehova Nyasaye owuoyo kokalo kuom Isaya wuod Amoz. Nowachone niya, “Gony pien gugru manie dendi kendo ilony wuocheni oko e tiendi.” Kendo notimo kamano kowuotho duk gi tiende nono.

in that same time, the Lord spoke by the hand of Isaiah, the son of Amoz, saying: “Go forth, and remove the sackcloth from your waist, and take your shoes from your feet.” And he did so, going out naked and barefoot.

3 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Mana kaka jatichna Isaya oselonyore duk mowuotho gi tiende nono kuom higni adek, kobedo ranyisi kuom gima timore ne Misri kod Kush,

And the Lord said: Just as my servant Isaiah has walked naked and barefoot, as a sign and as a portent of three years over Egypt and over Ethiopia,

4 omiyo ruodh Asuria biro sembo jo-Misri kod jo-Kush ma osemako duto, jomatindo kod jomadongo. Giniwuoth duge gi tiendegi nono, ka siandagi neno, mi mano nobed wichkuot ni jo-Misri.

so also will the king of the Assyrians force the captivity of Egypt, and the transmigration of Ethiopia: young and old, naked and barefoot, with their buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.

5 Ji mane oketo genoni kuom jo-Kush, kendo tingʼore malo nikech jo-Misri nobed gi luoro kod wichkuot.

And they will be afraid and confounded over Ethiopia, their hope, and Egypt, their glory.

6 E kindeno jogo modak e dho namni nowach ni, ‘Neuru gima osetimore ne joma waketo genowa kuomgi, joma ne waringo kuomgi mondo okonywa kendo oreswa e lwet ruodh Asuria! To koro, ere kaka wanatony?’”

And in that day, the inhabitants of a certain island will say: “Behold, this was our hope, we fled to them for help, to free us from the face of the king of the Assyrians. And now, how will we be able to escape?”
