Isaiah 20
1 One year King Sargon of Assyria sent the chief commander of his army [to take his soldiers] to capture Ashdod [city in Philistia].
I KA makahiki i hele mai ai o Taretana i Asedoda, kahi ana i hoounaia mai ai e Saregona, ke alii o Asuria, a kaua mai oia ia Asedoda, a hoopio hoi ia;
2 At that time, Yahweh told me, “Take off the rough sackcloth that you have been wearing and take off your sandals.” [So] I did what he told me to do, and [then] I walked around naked and barefoot [for three years].
Ia manawa, olelo mai la o Iehova ma o Isaia la, o ke keiki a Amosa, i mai la, O hele, e wehe i ke kapa ino mai kou puhaka aku, A e wehe hoi i kou kamaa mai kou kapuwai aku. Hana no oia pela, a hele iho la, he kapa ole, a he kamaa ole.
3 [Then] Yahweh said this [to the people of Judah]: “My servant Isaiah has been walking around naked and barefoot for the past three years. That is to show the terrible disasters that [I will cause the people of] Egypt and Ethiopia to experience.
I mai la o Iehova, Me Isaia ka'u kauwa i hele ai, he kapa ole, a he kamaa ole, I hoailona, a i ouli hoi no na makahiki ekolu, Maluna o Aigupita, a maluna o Aitiopa;
4 What will happen is that the [army of the] King of Assyria will [invade those countries and capture many of the people and] take them away as their prisoners. They will force all them, including both the young ones and the old ones, to walk naked and barefoot. They will [also] force them to have no clothes around their buttocks, which will cause [the people of] Egypt to be ashamed.
Pela no ke alii o Asuria e alakai ai I ka poe paa o Aigupita, a me ka poe pio o Aitiopa, I ka poe opiopio, a me ka poe elemakule, Me ke kapa ole, a me ke kamaa ole, E waiho wale ana na hope o lakou, I mea e hilahila ai ko Aigupita.
5 Then the people of other countries who trusted that the armies of Egypt and Ethiopia would be able to help them will be very dismayed/confused and afraid/disappointed.
A e makau hoi lakou nei, a e hilahila hoi ia Aitiopa, I ka mea a lakou i hilinai ai: A ia Aigupita hoi, I ka mea a lakou i kaeua ai.
6 They will say, ‘We trusted that the armies of Egypt and Ethiopia [would help us and defend us, but they have been destroyed], so there is no way [RHQ] that we can escape from [being destroyed by the army of] the King of Assyria!’”
A o ka mea e noho ana ma ia aina, e olelo no ia, ia la, Aia hoi, pela ka mea a makou i hilinai ai, Ka poe a makou i kii aku, i mea e kokua mai, I hoopakeleia mai makou i ke alii o Asuria: Pehea hoi makou e pakele ai?
