Isaiah 20

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

Afe a Asiriahene Sargon somaa ne ɔman no sahene kɔɔ Asdod kɔto hyɛɛ no so na ɔdii ne so nkonim no,

2 at that time the LORD spoke by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, "Go, and loosen the sackcloth from off your waist, and take your sandals off your feet." He did so, walking naked and barefoot.

saa ɛberɛ no Awurade faa Yesaia, Amos babarima so kasaa sɛ, “Yi ayitoma no firi wo ho ne mpaboa no firi wo nan ase.” Ɔyɛɛ saa de adagya a ne nan nso sisi fam dii akɔneaba.

3 The LORD said, "As my servant Isaiah has walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and a wonder concerning Egypt and concerning Ethiopia,

Na Awurade kaa sɛ, “Sɛdeɛ me ɔsomfoɔ Yesaia de adagya anante mfeɛ mmiɛnsa a ne nan nso sisi fam yi de ayɛ ɔhaw nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ a ɛtia Misraim ne Kus no,

4 so the king of Assyria will 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.

saa ara na Asiriahene bɛdi Misraim nneduafoɔ ne Kus nnommumfoɔ a wɔdeda adagya na wɔn nan sisi fam, mmabunu ne mpanin a wɔn to deda so no anim, de agu Misraim anim ase.

5 They will be dismayed and confounded, because of Ethiopia their expectation, and of Egypt their glory.

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

6 The inhabitants of this coast land will say in that day, 'Look, this is our expectation, where we fled for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria. And we, how will we escape?'"

Saa ɛda no nnipa a wɔtete mpoano ha bɛka sɛ, ‘Monhwɛ asɛm a ato wɔn a yɛde yɛn ho too wɔn so no, wɔn a yɛdwane kɔɔ wɔn nkyɛn kɔpɛɛ mmoa sɛ wɔbɛgye yɛn afiri Asiriahene nsam no! Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na yɛadwane?’”
