Isaiah 20

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

Sa te pase nan lanne Sagon, wa peyi Lasiri, te bay kòmandan chèf lame li a lòd pou l' te al atake lavil Asdòd nan peyi moun Filisti yo. Epi li pran l'.

2 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.

Men anvan sa, Seyè a te pale ak Ezayi, pitit Amòz la. Li te di l': Wete rad sak kòlèt ki sou ou a ak sapat ki nan pye ou la. Se sa menm Ezayi te fè. Se konsa li t'ap mache toutouni pye atè nan lari.

3 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,

Lanne yo te pran lavil Asdòd la, Seyè a di konsa: -Ezayi, sèvitè m' lan, te rete toutouni pye atè pandan twazan. Sa se yon siy ak yon avètisman pou sa ki pral rive peyi Lejip ak peyi Letiopi.

4 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.

Wa peyi Lasiri a pral depòte tout prizonye li pral fè nan peyi Lejip ak nan peyi Letiopi. Granmoun kou timoun pral mache toutouni, pye atè ak tout dèyè yo deyò. Sa pral yon wont pou peyi Lejip.

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

Moun ki te konte sou peyi Letiopi ak moun ki t'ap fè lwanj peyi Lejip yo pral wont, yo pral dekouraje.

6 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?’”

Lè jou sa a va rive, moun ki rete sou rivaj peyi Filisti a va di: Gade sa ki rive moun sa yo! Epi se sou yo nou te konte, se lakay yo nou te fè lide al chache pwoteksyon pou yo te ka sove nou anba men wa peyi Lasiri a! Koulye a, kote n'ap bay tèt pou n' chape kò nou?
