Isaiah 20
1 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,
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 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.
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: 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,
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 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.
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 afraid and confounded over Ethiopia, their hope, and Egypt, their glory.
Nao andũ arĩa mehokete Kushi na makegooca nĩ ũndũ wa Misiri nĩmakamaka na maconorithio.
6 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?”
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?’”
