Ishaya 20

1 A shekarar da babban shugaban yaƙin da Sargon sarkin Assuriya ya aika, ya zo Ashdod ya kuma fāɗa mata ya kuma ci ta da yaƙi,

In the year that Tharthan came unto Ashdod, when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him, and fought against Ashdod, and captured it;

2 a wannan lokaci Ubangiji ya yi magana ta wurin Ishaya ɗan Amoz. Ya ce masa, “Tuɓe tsummokin da kake saye da su, da kuma takalman da ka sa a ƙafafu.” Ya kuwa yi haka, yana yawo tsirara kuma ba takalma a ƙafa.

At the same time spoke the Lord by means of Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go and loosen the sackcloth from off thy loins, and thy shoe shalt thou pull off from thy foot. And he did so, walking naked and barefoot.

3 Sa’an nan Ubangiji ya ce, “Kamar dai yadda bawana Ishaya ya yi ta yawo tsirara kuma ba takalmi a ƙafa shekara uku, a matsayin alama da shaida a kan Masar da Kush,

And the Lord said, Just as my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and barefoot three years as a sign and token for Egypt and for Cush:

4 haka sarkin Assuriya zai kwashe kamammun Masarawa da Kushawa tsirara kuma ba takalma a ƙafa, yaro da babba, asirinsu a tsiraice, don a kunyata Masar.

So shall the king of Assyria lead away the prisoners of Egypt, and the exiles of Cush, young and old, naked and barefoot, even with uncovered buttocks, to the disgrace of Egypt.

5 Waɗanda suka dogara ga Kush suka yi taƙama da Masar za su ji tsoro su kuma sha kunya.

And they shall be terrified, and ashamed of Cush their trust, and of Egypt their vaunt.

6 A wannan rana mutanen da suke zama a bakin teku za su ce, ‘Dubi abin da ya faru da waɗanda muka dogara a kai, waɗanda muka gudu muka je don neman taimako da ceto daga sarkin Assuriya! Yaya za mu tsira?’”

And the inhabitant of this isle shall say on that day, Behold, such is our trust, whither we fled for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria: and how shall we then escape?
