Isaia 20
1 Atĩrĩrĩ, mwaka ũcio mũnene wa anene a ita rĩa Ashuri aakinyire Ashidodi atũmĩtwo nĩ Sarigoni mũthamaki wa Ashuri, aakinya kuo, na aarĩtharĩkĩra na aarĩtunyana-rĩ,
In the year that Tartan came to Ashdod, when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him, and he fought against Ashdod and took it;
2 hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩguo Jehova aaririe na kanua ka Isaia mũrũ wa Amozu. Akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ruta nguo ĩyo ya ikũnia wĩhumbĩte, na ũrute iraatũ ciaku magũrũ.” Nake agĩĩka o ro ũguo, agĩthiĩ njaga na arĩ magũrũ matheri.
at that time the LORD spoke by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, “Go, and loosen the sackcloth from off your waist, and take your sandals from off your feet.” He did so, walking naked and barefoot.
3 Ningĩ Jehova akiuga atĩrĩ, “O ta ũguo ndungata yakwa Isaia athiĩte njaga na arĩ magũrũ matheri mĩaka ĩtatũ, arĩ rũũri na kĩmenyithia kĩa maũndũ mooru marĩa magaakora bũrũri wa Misiri na wa Kushi-rĩ,
The LORD said, “As my servant Isaiah has walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and a wonder concerning Egypt and concerning Ethiopia,
4 ũguo noguo mũthamaki wa Ashuri agaataha andũ a bũrũri wa Misiri na a bũrũri wa Kushi, amoimagarie marĩ njaga na marĩ magũrũ matheri, arĩa ethĩ na arĩa akũrũ, thũnũ ciao irĩ njaga; ũguo nĩguo Misiri gũgaaconorithio.
so the king of Assyria will lead away the captives of Egypt and the exiles of Ethiopia, young and old, naked and barefoot, and with buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.
5 Nao andũ arĩa mehokete Kushi na makegooca nĩ ũndũ wa Misiri nĩmakamaka na maconorithio.
They will be dismayed and confounded, because of Ethiopia their expectation, and of Egypt their glory.
6 Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩguo andũ arĩa maikaraga hũgũrũrũ-inĩ ici cia iria makoiga atĩrĩ, ‘Onei ũrĩa kũhanĩte kũrĩ arĩa tũtũire twĩhokete, acio tuorĩire kũrĩ o atĩ nĩguo matũteithie na matũhonokie kuuma kũrĩ mũthamaki wa Ashuri! Rĩu tũngĩkĩhonoka atĩa?’”
The inhabitants of this coast land will say in that day, ‘Behold, this is our expectation, where we fled for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria. And we, how will we escape?’”
