Esias 20

1 In the year when Tanathan came to Azotus, when he was sent by Arna king of the Assyrians, and warred against Azotus, and took 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 then the Lord spoke to Esaias the son of Amos, saying, Go and take the sackcloth off your loins, and loose your sandals from off your feet, and do thus, going 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 And the Lord said, As my servant Esaias has walked naked and barefoot three years, there shall be three years for signs and wonders to the Egyptians and Ethiopians;

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 for thus shall the king of the Assyrians lead the captivity of Egypt and the Ethiopians, young men and old, naked and barefoot, having the shame of Egypt exposed.

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 And the Egyptians being defeated shall be ashamed of the Ethiopians, in whom they had trusted; for they were their glory.

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

6 And they that dwell in this island shall say in that day, Behold, we trusted to flee to them for help, who could not save themselves from the king of the Assyrians: and how shall we be saved?

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?’”
