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,

Nan ane ke kòmandan Asiryen an te vini Asdod la, lè Sargon, wa Assyrie a, te voye li goumen kont Asdod la pou te pran li,

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.

nan lè ke SENYÈ a te pale pa Ésaïe, fis a Amots la, epi te di: “Ale retire twal sak la sou kwis ou e retire soulye nan pye ou.” Se konsa li te fè, epi li te ale toutouni, epi pye a tè.

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,

Konsa, SENYÈ a te di: “Menm jan tankou sèvitè Mwen an, Ésaïe, te ale toutouni e pye atè pandan twazan kon yon sign nan, e kon yon avètisman kont Égypte ak Éthiopie,

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.

menm jan, wa a Assyrie va mennen fè sòti kaptif Ejipsyen yo ansanm ak egzile Éthiopie yo jenn kon vye, toutouni, e pye atè ak tout do yo dekouvri, pou fè Égypte vin wont.

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

Epi yo va vin dezole e wont akoz Éthiopie, ki te espwa yo, e anplis ak Égypte, fyète yo a.

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?”

Pou sa, moun ki rete nan peyi bò lanmè sa a, va di nan jou sa a: ‘Gade byen, se konsa espwa nou vin rive! Gade kote nou te kouri ale pou sekou, pou delivre anba men wa a Assyrie a! Epi koulye a, nou menm, se kòman nou va chape?’”
