< Isaiah 20 >

1 In the year that Tartan entered Ashdod, when Sargon king of Assyria, sent him, —and he fought against Ashdod and captured it, —
Amy taoñe nanamea’ i Tartane i Asdodey, (ie nampañitrife’ ty mpanjaka’ i Asore), le nialia’e ty Asdode vaho tinava’e;
2 At that time, spake Yahweh, through Isaiah son of Amoz, saying, Go, and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins, And thy sandal, draw thou off from thy foot, —And he did so, walking disrobed and barefoot.
ie amy taoñe zay, le nitsara am’ Iesaià ana’ i Amotse t’Iehovà nanao ty hoe: Akia, abalaho hiafake an-toha’o eo i lamban-goniy vaho apolitiro am-pandia’o o hana’oo. Nanoe’e zay, nañavelo nihalo tsy aman-kana.
3 Then said Yahweh, —As my servant Isaiah, hath walked, disrobed and barefoot three years as a sign and a wonder against Egypt and against Ethiopia,
Le hoe t’Iehovà: Manahake te nañavelo tsy aman-tsaroñe, tsy aman-kana telo taoñe ty mpitoroko Iesaià, t’ie ho viloñe naho halatsañe amy Mitsraime naho amy Kose,
4 So, shall the king of Assyria lead away the captives of Egypt and the exiles of Ethiopia young and old disrobed and barefoot, with their persons behind Uncovered the shame of Egypt.
le ho kozozote’ ty mpanjaka’ i Asore o mpirohi’ i Mitsraimeo naho o hasese boake Koseo, hibongy vaho tsy ho aman-kana, ty kede naho ty bey, tsy ho aman-tsaro ty voli’e ho ami’ty hasalara’ i Mitsraime.
5 Thus shall they be confounded and turn pale, —For Ethiopia, their expectation, and For Egypt their boast;
Ho lonjetse naho meñatse iereo ty amy Kose, fitamà’ iareo, naho i Mitsraime fisengea’ iareo.
6 And the inhabitant of this shore, shall exclaim, in that day, Lo! such, is our expectation, whereunto we fled for help, that we might be delivered from the presence of the king of Assyria! How then shall, we, escape?
Le hanao ty hoe ty mpimoneñe añ’olo-tane atoy amy andro zay: Heheke o nitamaen-tikañeo, i nipitsihan-tika nipay olotse hivotsoran-tika amy mpanjaka’ i Asoreiy; tika ‘nio! aia ty hivoratsahan-tika?
