Isaiah 20

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

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 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,

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 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.

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

Nao andũ arĩa mehokete Kushi na makegooca nĩ ũndũ wa Misiri nĩmakamaka na maconorithio.

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!’”

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?’”
