Esias 20

1 In the year when Tanathan came to Azotus, when he was sent by Arna king of the Assyrians, and warred against Azotus, and took it;

I te tau i haere mai ai a Taratana ki Aharoro, i a ia i unga ra e Harakono kingi o Ahiria, i tana whawhaitanga ki Aharoro, a horo ana a reira i a ia;

2 then the Lord spoke to Esaias the son of Amos, saying, Go and take the sackcloth off thy loins, and loose thy sandals from off thy feet, and do thus, going naked and barefoot.

I taua wa ka korero a Ihowa, ara a Ihaia tama a Amoho, ka ki, Wetekina atu te kakahu taratara i tou hope, whakarerea atu ano tou hu i tou waewae. Na pera ana ia, haere tahanga ana, kahore hoki he hu.

3 And the Lord said, As my servant Esaias has walked naked and barefoot three years, there shall be three years for signs and wonders to the Egyptians and Ethiopians;

Na ka mea a Ihowa, Ka rite ki taku pononga, ki a Ihaia, ka toru nei ona tau e haere tahanga ana, kahore hoki he hu, hei tohu, hei mea whakamiharo ki a Ihipa raua ko Etiopia;

4 for thus shall the king of the Assyrians lead the captivity of Egypt and the Ethiopians, young men and old, naked and barefoot, having the shame of Egypt exposed.

Ka pena ano ta te kingi o Ahiria arahi i nga Ihipiana hei parau, i nga Etiopiana hei whakarau, i te taitamariki, i te kaumatua, kahore he kakahu, kahore he hu, takoto kau ana nga papa, whakama iho a Ihipa.

5 And the Egyptians being defeated shall be ashamed of the Ethiopians, in whom they had trusted; for they were their glory.

Ka pororaru ano ratou, ka whakama ki a Etiopia, ki ta ratou i tumanako ai, ki a Ihipa ano, ki to ratou kororia.

6 And they that dwell in this island shall say in that day, Behold, we trusted to flee to them for help, who could not save themselves from the king of the Assyrians: and how shall we be saved?

A e mea te tangata o taua takutai i taua ra, Nana, ko ta tatou tenei i tumanako ai, ko ta tatou i rere atu ai kia ora ai i te kingi o Ahiria; a me pehea tatou ka mawhiti ai?
