< Ezayi 20 >
1 Sa te pase nan lanne Sagon, wa peyi Lasiri, te bay kòmandan chèf lame li a lòd pou l' te al atake lavil Asdòd nan peyi moun Filisti yo. Epi li pran l'.
In the year that Tharthan entered into Azotus, when Sargon the king of the Assyrians had sent him, and he had fought against Azotus, and had taken it:
2 Men anvan sa, Seyè a te pale ak Ezayi, pitit Amòz la. Li te di l': Wete rad sak kòlèt ki sou ou a ak sapat ki nan pye ou la. Se sa menm Ezayi te fè. Se konsa li t'ap mache toutouni pye atè nan lari.
At that same time the Lord spoke by the hand of Isaias the son of Amos, saying: Go, and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins, and take off thy shoes from thy feet. And he did so, and went naked, and barefoot.
3 Lanne yo te pran lavil Asdòd la, Seyè a di konsa: -Ezayi, sèvitè m' lan, te rete toutouni pye atè pandan twazan. Sa se yon siy ak yon avètisman pou sa ki pral rive peyi Lejip ak peyi Letiopi.
And the Lord said: As my servant Isaias hath walked, naked and barefoot, it shall be a sign and a wonder of three years upon Egypt, and upon Ethiopia,
4 Wa peyi Lasiri a pral depòte tout prizonye li pral fè nan peyi Lejip ak nan peyi Letiopi. Granmoun kou timoun pral mache toutouni, pye atè ak tout dèyè yo deyò. Sa pral yon wont pou peyi Lejip.
So shall the king of the Assyrians lead away the prisoners of Egypt, and the captivity of Ethiopia, young and old. naked and barefoot, with their buttocks uncovered to the shame of Egypt.
5 Moun ki te konte sou peyi Letiopi ak moun ki t'ap fè lwanj peyi Lejip yo pral wont, yo pral dekouraje.
And they shall be afraid, and ashamed of Ethiopia their hope, and of Egypt their glory.
6 Lè jou sa a va rive, moun ki rete sou rivaj peyi Filisti a va di: Gade sa ki rive moun sa yo! Epi se sou yo nou te konte, se lakay yo nou te fè lide al chache pwoteksyon pou yo te ka sove nou anba men wa peyi Lasiri a! Koulye a, kote n'ap bay tèt pou n' chape kò nou?
And the inhabitants of this isle shall say in that day: Lo this was our hope, to whom we fled for help, to deliver up from the face of the king of the Assyrians: and how shall we be able to escape?
