Isaiah 20

1 In the yeer wherynne Tharthan entride in to Azotus, whanne Sargon, the kyng of Assiriens, hadde sent hym, and he hadde fouyte ayens Azotus, and hadde take it;

Katika mwaka ambao Tartani alipofika kwa Ashdodi, alipotumwa na Sarjoni mfalme wa Asiria, nae akapigana na Ashdodd na akachukua.

2 in that tyme the Lord spak in the hond of Isaye, the sone of Amos, and seide, Go thou, and vnbynde the sak fro thi leendis, and take awei thi schoon fro thi feet. And he dide so, goynge nakid and vnschood.

Mda huo Yahwe alizungumza na Isaya mwana wa Amozi, ''Nenda ukaondoe nguo za magunia katika kiuno chako, na ondoeni viatu vyenu kwenye miguu.'' Alifanya hivyo, tembeeni uchi na miguu wazi.

3 And the Lord seide, As my seruaunt Ysaie yede nakid and vnschood, a signe and greet wondur of thre yeer schal be on Egipt, and on Ethiopie;

Yahwe asema, ''Kama ilivyokuwa kwa mtumishi wangu Isaya alivyotembea uchi na pasipo kuvaa viatu kwa miaka mitatu, ni ishara na dalili kuhusu Misri na kuhusu Ethiopia—

4 so the kyng of Assiriens schal dryue the caitifte of Egipt, and the passyng ouer of Ethiopie, a yong man and an eld man, nakid and vnschood, with the buttokis vnhilid, to the schenschipe of Egipt.

katika njia hii mfalme wa Asiria atawaongoza mateka wa Misri, na walioko uhamishoni Ethiopia, watoto kwa wazee, waliouchi na wasio na viatu, na ambao hawajajisitiri kuiweka Misri katika aibu.

5 And thei schulen drede, and schulen be schent of Ethiopie, her hope, and of Egipt, her glorie.

Watafadhaika na kuona aibu, kwa sababu ya Ethiopia ni matumaini yao na Misri ni utukufu wao.

6 And a dwellere of this ile schal seie in that dai, This was our hope, to which we fledden for help, that thei schulden delyuere vs fro the face of the kyng of Assiryens; and hou moun we ascape?

Wenyeji wa pwani hiiwatasema siku hiyo, 'Kweli, hichi ndicho chanzo chetu cha matumaini, tulipokimbilia kuhitaji msaada kutoka kwa mfalme wa Asiria, je ni kwa jisi gani tunaweza kupona?''
