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;

Afe a Asiriahene Sargon somaa ne man no sahene kɔɔ Asdod kɔtow hyɛɛ no so na odii ne so nkonim no,

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.

saa bere no Awurade faa Yesaia, Amos babarima so kasae se, “Yi atweaatam no fi wo ho ne mpaboa no fi wo nan ase.” Ɔyɛɛ saa de adagyaw a nʼanan nso sisi fam dii akɔneaba.

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;

Na Awurade kae se, “Sɛnea me somfo Yesaia de adagyaw anantew mfe abiɛsa a nʼanan nso sisi fam yi de, ayɛ ɔhaw nsɛnkyerɛnne a etia Misraim ne Kus no,

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.

saa ara na Asiriahene bedi Misraim nneduafo ne Kus nnommum a wɔdeda adagyaw na wɔn nan sisi fam, mmabun ne mpanyin a wɔn to deda so no anim, de agu Misraim anim ase.

5 And they shall be afraid and ashamed of Cush their expectation, and of Egypt their glory.

Wɔn a wɔde wɔn ho too Kus so, na wɔde Misraim hoahoaa wɔn ho no besuro na wɔn ani awu.

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?

Saa da no nnipa a wɔtete mpoano ha bɛka se, ‘Monhwɛ asɛm a ato wɔn a yɛde yɛn ho too wɔn so no, wɔn a yeguan kɔɔ wɔn nkyɛn kɔpɛɛ mmoa sɛ wobegye yɛn afi Asiriahene nsam no! Yɛbɛyɛ dɛn na yɛaguan?’”
