Yesaya 20

1 Le ƒe si me Asiria fia Sargon dɔ eƒe aʋafiagã ɖe Filistitɔwo ƒe du, Asdod me, eye wòwɔ aʋa kplii hexɔe la,

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;

2 ɣe ma ɣi Yehowa gblɔ na Amoz ƒe vi, Yesaya, be, “Ɖe wò akpanya si nèta la da ɖi, eye nàɖe afɔkpawo le wò afɔ.” Ale Yesaya wɔ nenema; eɖe amama, eye wònɔ afɔ ƒuƒlu zɔm nɔ yiyim.

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.

3 Yehowa gblɔ be, “Abe ale si nye dɔla Yesaya si le afɔ ƒuƒlu zɔm ƒe etɔ̃ sɔŋ ene, nu si nye dzesi kple kpɔɖeŋu na Egipte kple Kus la,

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;

4 nenema ke Asiria fia aɖe aboyo Egipte kple Kus, aɖe amewo, ɖeviwo kple tsitsiawo siaa be woatsɔ ado ŋukpe Egipte,

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.

5 Ame siwo ɖo ŋu ɖe Kus ŋu, eye wotsɔa Egipte ƒoa adegbee la, woavɔ, eye ŋu akpe wo.

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

6 Le ɣe ma ɣi la, ame siwo le ƒuta afi sia la agblɔ be, mikpɔ nu si va dzɔ ɖe ame siwo miesina tsona be woaxɔ na mi le Asiria ƒe asi me la dzi ɖa. Ke azɔ la, aleke miawɔ asi?”

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?
