Isaiah 20

1 In the year that Tharthan entered into Azotus, when Sargon the king of the Assyrians had sent him, and he had fought against Azotus, and had taken it:

Amy taoñe nanamea’ i Tartane i Asdodey, (ie nampañitrife’ ty mpanjaka’ i Asore), le nialia’e ty Asdode vaho tinava’e;

2 At that same time the Lord spoke by the hand of Isaias the son of Amos, saying: Go, and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins, and take off thy shoes from thy feet. And he did so, and went naked, and barefoot.

ie amy taoñe zay, le nitsara am’ Iesaià ana’ i Amotse t’Iehovà nanao ty hoe: Akia, abalaho hiafake an-toha’o eo i lamban-goniy vaho apolitiro am-pandia’o o hana’oo. Nanoe’e zay, nañavelo nihalo tsy aman-kana.

3 And the Lord said: As my servant Isaias hath walked, naked and barefoot, it shall be a sign and a wonder of three years upon Egypt, and upon Ethiopia,

Le hoe t’Iehovà: Manahake te nañavelo tsy aman-tsaroñe, tsy aman-kana telo taoñe ty mpitoroko Iesaià, t’ie ho viloñe naho halatsañe amy Mitsraime naho amy Kose,

4 So shall the king of the Assyrians lead away the prisoners of Egypt, and the captivity of Ethiopia, young and old. naked and barefoot, with their buttocks uncovered to the shame of Egypt.

le ho kozozote’ ty mpanjaka’ i Asore o mpirohi’ i Mitsraimeo naho o hasese boake Koseo, hibongy vaho tsy ho aman-kana, ty kede naho ty bey, tsy ho aman-tsaro ty voli’e ho ami’ty hasalara’ i Mitsraime.

5 And they shall be afraid, and ashamed of Ethiopia their hope, and of Egypt their glory.

Ho lonjetse naho meñatse iereo ty amy Kose, fitamà’ iareo, naho i Mitsraime fisengea’ iareo.

6 And the inhabitants of this isle shall say in that day: Lo this was our hope, to whom we fled for help, to deliver up from the face of the king of the Assyrians: and how shall we be able to escape?

Le hanao ty hoe ty mpimoneñe añ’olo-tane atoy amy andro zay: Heheke o nitamaen-tikañeo, i nipitsihan-tika nipay olotse hivotsoran-tika amy mpanjaka’ i Asoreiy; tika ‘nio! aia ty hivoratsahan-tika?
