Isaiah 20

1 In the year that Tharthan came unto Ashdod, when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him, and fought against Ashdod, and captured it;

Mu mwaka Talutani omuduumizi w’oku ntikko mwe yajjira mu Asudodi ng’atumiddwa Salugoni kabaka we Bwasuli n’alwana ne Asudodi n’akiwamba;

2 At the same time spoke the Lord by means of Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go and loosen the sackcloth from off thy loins, and thy shoe shalt thou pull off from thy foot. And he did so, walking naked and barefoot.

mu kiseera ekyo Mukama Katonda n’ayogera ne Isaaya mutabani wa Amozi nti, “Genda osumulule ebibukutu mu kiwato kyo era oyambulemu engatto mu bigere byo.” N’akola bw’atyo n’atambula engatto ng’aziggyemu.

3 And the Lord said, Just as my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and barefoot three years as a sign and token for Egypt and for Cush:

Mukama Katonda n’ayogera nti, “Ng’omuddu wange Isaaya bwe yatambula obwereere emyaka esatu nga tayambadde ngoye wadde engatto okuba akabonero n’ekyewuunyo ku Misiri ne ku Kuusi;

4 So shall the king of Assyria lead away the prisoners of Egypt, and the exiles of Cush, young and old, naked and barefoot, even with uncovered buttocks, to the disgrace of Egypt.

bw’atyo kabaka w’e Bwasuli bw’aliwambira ddala Abamisiri, aliwaŋŋangusa Abakuusi, abato n’abakulu nga bali bwereere nga tebalina na ngatto, amakugunyu gaabwe nga tegabikiddwako, Misiri ekwatibwe ensonyi.

5 And they shall be terrified, and ashamed of Cush their trust, and of Egypt their vaunt.

Era balitya bakwatibwe ensonyi olwa Kuusi essuubi lyabwe, n’olwa Misiri ekitiibwa kyabwe.

6 And the inhabitant of this isle shall say on that day, Behold, such is our trust, whither we fled for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria: and how shall we then escape?

Ku olwo abantu abatuula ku lubalama lw’ennyanja baligamba nti, ‘Mulabe ekigudde ku bantu be tubadde twesiga okutukuuma, gye twadda tuwonyezebwe nga tudduka kabaka w’e Bwasuli! Kaakano ffe tunaawonyezebwa tutya?’”
