Isaiah 20

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

Afe a Asiriahene Sargon somaa ne man no sahene kɔɔ Asdod kɔtow hyɛɛ no so na odii ne so nkonim no,

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.

saa bere no Awurade faa Yesaia, Amos babarima so kasae se, “Yi atweaatam no fi wo ho ne mpaboa no fi wo nan ase.” Ɔyɛɛ saa de adagyaw a nʼanan nso sisi fam dii akɔneaba.

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,

Na Awurade kae se, “Sɛnea me somfo Yesaia de adagyaw anantew mfe abiɛsa a nʼanan nso sisi fam yi de, ayɛ ɔhaw nsɛnkyerɛnne a etia Misraim ne Kus no,

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.

saa ara na Asiriahene bedi Misraim nneduafo ne Kus nnommum a wɔdeda adagyaw na wɔn nan sisi fam, mmabun ne mpanyin a wɔn to deda so no anim, de agu Misraim anim ase.

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

Wɔn a wɔde wɔn ho too Kus so, na wɔde Misraim hoahoaa wɔn ho no besuro na wɔn ani awu.

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!’”

Saa da no nnipa a wɔtete mpoano ha bɛka se, ‘Monhwɛ asɛm a ato wɔn a yɛde yɛn ho too wɔn so no, wɔn a yeguan kɔɔ wɔn nkyɛn kɔpɛɛ mmoa sɛ wobegye yɛn afi Asiriahene nsam no! Yɛbɛyɛ dɛn na yɛaguan?’”
