Ezayi 20

1 Nan ane ke kòmandan Asiryen an te vini Asdod la, lè Sargon, wa Assyrie a, te voye li goumen kont Asdod la pou te pran li,

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 nan lè ke SENYÈ a te pale pa Ésaïe, fis a Amots la, epi te di: “Ale retire twal sak la sou kwis ou e retire soulye nan pye ou.” Se konsa li te fè, epi li te ale toutouni, epi pye a tè.

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 Konsa, SENYÈ a te di: “Menm jan tankou sèvitè Mwen an, Ésaïe, te ale toutouni e pye atè pandan twazan kon yon sign nan, e kon yon avètisman kont Égypte ak Éthiopie,

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 menm jan, wa a Assyrie va mennen fè sòti kaptif Ejipsyen yo ansanm ak egzile Éthiopie yo jenn kon vye, toutouni, e pye atè ak tout do yo dekouvri, pou fè Égypte vin wont.

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 Epi yo va vin dezole e wont akoz Éthiopie, ki te espwa yo, e anplis ak Égypte, fyète yo a.

And they shall be afraid, and ashamed of Ethiopia their hope, and of Egypt their glory.

6 Pou sa, moun ki rete nan peyi bò lanmè sa a, va di nan jou sa a: ‘Gade byen, se konsa espwa nou vin rive! Gade kote nou te kouri ale pou sekou, pou delivre anba men wa a Assyrie a! Epi koulye a, nou menm, se kòman nou va chape?’”

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?
