Isaiah 20

1 In the year when Sargon, king of Assyria, sent his army commander to attack the town of Ashdod and conquered it,

Rhalboei ha pawk kum ah anih te Ashdod la a tueih hatah Assyria manghai Sargon loh Ashdod te a vathoh thil tih a loh.

2 at that time the Lord spoke through Isaiah, son of Amoz. He told him, “Take off the sackcloth clothes from your body and remove your sandals.” Isaiah did so and went around naked and barefoot.

Te vaeng tue ah BOEIPA loh Amoz capa Isaiah kut ah a thui tih, “Cet lamtah na cinghen lamkah tlamhni te hlam laeh, na kho dongkah na khokhom khaw dul laeh,” a ti nah. Te dongah a saii tangloeng tih pumtling neh khotling la van.

3 Then the Lord said, “In the same way that my servant Isaiah has gone naked and barefoot for three years as a sign and a warning against Egypt and Ethiopia,

Te vaengah BOEIPA loh, “Ka sal Isaiah te pumtling neh khotling neh kum thum a van bangla Egypt neh Kusah taengah miknoek neh kopoekrhai om ni.

4 so shall the king of Assyria lead the Egyptian prisoners and the Ethiopian exiles, both young and old, naked and barefoot. Their buttocks will be bare, to Egypt's shame.

Assyria manghai Egypt tamna, Kusah hlangsol camoe patong te Egypt kah a yah dongah pumtling khotling neh a ael tlaai awk la a hmaithawn ni.

5 They will be discouraged and humiliated because they had put their hope in Ethiopia and proudly trusted in Egypt.

Te vaengah amih kah a uepnah Kusah neh a boeimangnah Egypt khaw rhihyawp vetih yak ni.

6 At that time the people living in the coastal lands will say, ‘Look what has happened those we were depending on! We ran to them for help to save us from the king of Assyria. We don't stand a chance!’”

Tekah khohnin ah tah te tuikaeng khosa long khaw, ‘Assyria manghai mikhmuh lamloh aka huul ham bomnah neh mamih kah uepnah tah rhaelrham coeng tih mamih loh metlam m'poenghal eh he,’ a ti ni,” a ti.
