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 when Tanathan came to Azotus, when he was sent by Arna king of the Assyrians, and warred against Azotus, and took 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.

then the Lord spoke to Esaias the son of Amos, saying, Go and take the sackcloth off your loins, and loose your sandals from off your feet, and do thus, going 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 Esaias has walked naked and barefoot three years, there shall be three years for signs and wonders to the Egyptians and Ethiopians;

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.

for thus shall the king of the Assyrians lead the captivity of Egypt and the Ethiopians, young men and old, naked and barefoot, having the shame of Egypt exposed.

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

And the Egyptians being defeated shall be ashamed of the Ethiopians, in whom they had trusted; for they were 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 they that dwell in this island shall say in that day, Behold, we trusted to flee to them for help, who could not save themselves from the king of the Assyrians: and how shall we be saved?
