Isaiah 20

1 In the year that Tartan came into Ashdod, when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him, and he fought against Ashdod and took it;

Na mobu oyo mokonzi monene ya basoda, oyo Sargoni, mokonzi ya Asiri, atindaki, ayaki kobundisa mpe kobotola engumba Asidodi;

2 at that time the LORD spoke by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying: 'Go, and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins, and put thy shoe from off thy foot.' And he did so, walking naked and barefoot.

kaka na tango wana, Yawe alobaki maloba oyo na nzela ya Ezayi, mwana mobali ya Amotsi: « Kende, longola bilamba ya saki na nzoto na yo, mpe basapato na makolo na yo. » Mpe asalaki kaka bongo; akomaki kotambola bolumbu mpe makolo ngulu.

3 And the LORD said: 'Like as My servant Isaiah hath walked naked and barefoot to be for three years a sign and a wonder upon Egypt and upon Ethiopia,

Bongo Yawe alobaki: « Lokola mosali na Ngai, Ezayi, atamboli bolumbu mpe makolo ngulu mibu misato mpo na kozala elembo mpe ekamwiseli na miso ya Ejipito mpe ya Kushi,

4 so shall the king of Assyria lead away the captives of Egypt, and the exiles of Ethiopia, young and old, naked and barefoot, and with buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.

mokonzi ya Asiri akomema bakangami ya Ejipito mpe bawumbu ya Kushi bolumbu mpe makolo ngulu: ezala bilenge to bampaka, bakotambola bolumbu mpe makolo ngulu mpo na soni ya Ejipito.

5 And they shall be dismayed and ashamed, because of Ethiopia their expectation, and of Egypt their glory.

Bato nyonso oyo batiaki elikya na bango na Kushi mpe bakomaki lofundu mpo na Ejipito bakokweya mpe bakotonda na soni.

6 And the inhabitant of this coast-land shall say in that day: Behold, such is our expectation, whither we fled for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria; and how shall we escape?'

Na mokolo wana, bavandi ya esanga bakoloba: ‹ Tala, makambo nini ekomeli bato oyo biso tozalaki kotiela mitema? Tozalaki kokima epai na bango mpo na kozwa lisungi mpe lobiko liboso ya mokonzi ya Asiri. Biso sik’oyo tokosuka ndenge nini? › »
