< Isaiah 20 >

1 In the year that Tartan came to Ashdod, (when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him, ) and 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 the same time spoke the LORD by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins, and put off thy shoe from thy foot. And 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 And the LORD said, As my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and wonder upon Egypt and upon Cush;
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 shall the king of Assyria lead away the Egyptians prisoners, and the Cushites captives, young and old, naked and barefoot, even with their hind parts 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 And they shall be afraid and ashamed of Cush 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 And the inhabitant of this isle shall say in that day, Behold, such is our expectation, where we fled for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria: and how shall 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?
