Isaiah 20

1 In the year when the Tartan came to Ashdod, sent by Sargon, king of Assyria, and made war against it and took it;

Atĩrĩrĩ, mwaka ũcio mũnene wa anene a ita rĩa Ashuri aakinyire Ashidodi atũmĩtwo nĩ Sarigoni mũthamaki wa Ashuri, aakinya kuo, na aarĩtharĩkĩra na aarĩtunyana-rĩ,

2 At that time the word of the Lord came to Isaiah, the son of Amoz, saying, Go, and take off your robe, and your shoes from your feet; and he did so, walking unclothed and without shoes on his feet.

hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩguo Jehova aaririe na kanua ka Isaia mũrũ wa Amozu. Akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ruta nguo ĩyo ya ikũnia wĩhumbĩte, na ũrute iraatũ ciaku magũrũ.” Nake agĩĩka o ro ũguo, agĩthiĩ njaga na arĩ magũrũ matheri.

3 And the Lord said, As my servant Isaiah has gone unclothed and without shoes for three years as a sign and a wonder to Egypt and Ethiopia,

Ningĩ Jehova akiuga atĩrĩ, “O ta ũguo ndungata yakwa Isaia athiĩte njaga na arĩ magũrũ matheri mĩaka ĩtatũ, arĩ rũũri na kĩmenyithia kĩa maũndũ mooru marĩa magaakora bũrũri wa Misiri na wa Kushi-rĩ,

4 So will the king of Assyria take away the prisoners of Egypt and those forced out of Ethiopia, young and old, unclothed and without shoes, and with backs uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.

ũguo noguo mũthamaki wa Ashuri agaataha andũ a bũrũri wa Misiri na a bũrũri wa Kushi, amoimagarie marĩ njaga na marĩ magũrũ matheri, arĩa ethĩ na arĩa akũrũ, thũnũ ciao irĩ njaga; ũguo nĩguo Misiri gũgaaconorithio.

5 And they will be full of fear, and will no longer have faith in Ethiopia which was their hope, or in Egypt which was their glory.

Nao andũ arĩa mehokete Kushi na makegooca nĩ ũndũ wa Misiri nĩmakamaka na maconorithio.

6 And those living by the sea will say in that day, See the fate of our hope to whom we went for help and salvation from the king of Assyria: what hope have we then of salvation?

Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩguo andũ arĩa maikaraga hũgũrũrũ-inĩ ici cia iria makoiga atĩrĩ, ‘Onei ũrĩa kũhanĩte kũrĩ arĩa tũtũire twĩhokete, acio tuorĩire kũrĩ o atĩ nĩguo matũteithie na matũhonokie kuuma kũrĩ mũthamaki wa Ashuri! Rĩu tũngĩkĩhonoka atĩa?’”
