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].
Sannaddii Sargoon oo ahaa boqorkii Ashuur uu Tartaan Ashdood u diray, oo uu tegey, oo la diriray oo qabsaday Ashdood,
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].
ayaa Rabbigu Ishacyaah ina Aamoos la hadlay oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Tag, oo dharka joonyadda ah dhexdaada ka fur, oo kabahaagana iska siib. Oo isna saasuu yeelay, oo wuxuu socday isagoo qaawan oo caga cad.
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.
Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu yidhi, Sidii addoonkaygii Ishacyaah saddex sannadood qaawanaan iyo cago caddaan uu ugu socday inuu calaamad iyo yaab Masar iyo Itoobiyaba u ahaado
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.
ayaa boqorka Ashuur kaxaysan doonaa maxaabiista Masar iyo masaafurisyada Itoobiya, yar iyo weynba, iyagoo qaaqaawan oo wada cagacad, oo badhidoodu muuqato, si uu Masriyiinta u ceebeeyo aawadeed.
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.
Markaasaa la nixi doonaa oo la ceeboobi doonaa Itoobiya oo rajadoodii ahayd aawadeed iyo Masar oo sharaftoodii ahayd aawadeed.
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!’”
Oo kuwa xeebta degganu waxay wakhtigaas odhan doonaan, Bal eega wixii ku dhacay kuwii aan isku hallaynaynay oo aan caawimaad ugu cararaynay inay boqorka Ashuur naga samatabbixiyaan Oo bal annagu sidee baannu u baxsanaynaa?
