< 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;
Tamin’ ny taona nankanesan’ i Tartana tany Asdoda, raha nirahin’ i Sargona, mpanjakan’ i Asyria, izy ka namely an’ i Asdoda ary nahafaka azy,
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.
tamin’ izany andro izany no nampitondran’ i Jehovah teny an’ Isaia, zanak’ i Amoza, hoe: Andeha, borahy ny lamba fisaonana ho afaka amin’ ny valahanao, ary esory ny kiraronao hiala amin’ ny tongotrao. Dia nanao izany izy ka nandeha tsy nitafy sady tsy nikiraro.
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,
Ary hoy Jehovah: Tahaka ny nandehanan’ Isaia mpanompoko telo taona sady tsy nitafy no tsy nikiraro mba ho famantarana sy ho fahagagana ny amin’ i Egypta sy Etiopia,
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.
dia ho toy izany no hitondran’ ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria ny Egyptiana ho babo sy ny Etiopiana ho sambotra, na tanora na antitra, samy tsy hitafy sady tsy hikiraro no tsy hisarom-pe, ho henatr’ i Egypta.
5 They will be dismayed and confounded, because of Ethiopia their expectation, and of Egypt their glory.
Ary ho raiki-tahotra sy ho menatra ny Isiraely noho ny amin’ i Etiopia fanantenany sy Egypta reharehany.
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?'"
Ary amin’ izany andro izany ny mponina etỳ amoron-dranomasina dia hanao hoe: He! ity manjo ilay nantenaintsika sady nandosirantsika ho famonjena antsika ho afaka amin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria! Aiza intsony re no handosirantsika?
