Isaia 20

1 I KA makahiki i hele mai ai o Taretana i Asedoda, kahi ana i hoounaia mai ai e Saregona, ke alii o Asuria, a kaua mai oia ia Asedoda, a hoopio hoi ia;

Ngomnyaka indunankulu yebutho eyafika ngawo e-Ashidodi, ithunywe nguSagoni inkosi yase-Asiriya, yahlasela i-Ashidodi yayithumba,

2 Ia manawa, olelo mai la o Iehova ma o Isaia la, o ke keiki a Amosa, i mai la, O hele, e wehe i ke kapa ino mai kou puhaka aku, A e wehe hoi i kou kamaa mai kou kapuwai aku. Hana no oia pela, a hele iho la, he kapa ole, a he kamaa ole.

ngalesosikhathi uThixo wakhuluma ngo-Isaya indodana ka-Amozi wathi kuye, “Susa isaka oligqokileyo emzimbeni wakho ukhuphe lamanyathela ezinyaweni zakho.” Wenza njalo, wahamba nqunu njalo engagqokanga lutho ezinyaweni.

3 I mai la o Iehova, Me Isaia ka'u kauwa i hele ai, he kapa ole, a he kamaa ole, I hoailona, a i ouli hoi no na makahiki ekolu, Maluna o Aigupita, a maluna o Aitiopa;

UThixo wasesithi, “Njengoba inceku yami u-Isaya ihambe nqunu njalo ingagqokanga lutho ezinyaweni okweminyaka emithathu njengesibonakaliso lomhlolo kwabaseGibhithe labaseKhushi,

4 Pela no ke alii o Asuria e alakai ai I ka poe paa o Aigupita, a me ka poe pio o Aitiopa, I ka poe opiopio, a me ka poe elemakule, Me ke kapa ole, a me ke kamaa ole, E waiho wale ana na hope o lakou, I mea e hilahila ai ko Aigupita.

ngokunjalo inkosi yase-Asiriya izabaqhuba benqunu njalo bengafakanga manyathela ezinyaweni abaseGibhithe abathunjiweyo labaseKhushi abaxotshwayo elizweni lakibo, abatsha labadala, izibunu zisegcekeni, kube lihlazo eGibhithe.

5 A e makau hoi lakou nei, a e hilahila hoi ia Aitiopa, I ka mea a lakou i hilinai ai: A ia Aigupita hoi, I ka mea a lakou i kaeua ai.

Labo ababethembe iKhushi bezincoma ngeGibhithe, bazakwesaba bayangiswe.

6 A o ka mea e noho ana ma ia aina, e olelo no ia, ia la, Aia hoi, pela ka mea a makou i hilinai ai, Ka poe a makou i kii aku, i mea e kokua mai, I hoopakeleia mai makou i ke alii o Asuria: Pehea hoi makou e pakele ai?

Ngalolosuku abantu abahlala kulelicele eliseduze kolwandle bazakuthi, ‘Khangelani osokwenzakale kulabo ebesigwaba ngabo, labo esabalekela kubo ukuba sithole usizo lokukhululwa enkosini yase-Asiriya! Pho sizaphepha kanjani na?’”
