Aịzaya 20

1 Nʼafọ ahụ, Sagọn, eze Asịrịa, zipụrụ ọchịagha onye ọkwa ya kasị ukwuu, ka ọ gaa buso Ashdọd agha. Ọ gara meriekwa ya nʼagha.

In the year that Tartan came to Ashdod, when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him, and he fought against Ashdod and took it;

2 Nʼoge ahụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru okwu site nʼọnụ Aịzaya nwa Emọz. Ọ sịrị ya, “Yipụ uwe mkpe iyi nʼahụ, ya na akpụkpọụkwụ dị gị nʼụkwụ.” O mere otu a, ọ gbaara ọtọ, jegharịakwa nʼụkwụ efu.

at that time Yahweh spoke by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, “Go, and loosen the sackcloth from off your waist, and take your sandals from off your feet.” He did so, walking naked and barefoot.

3 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị sịrị, “Dị ka ohu m Aịzaya si gbara ọtọ jegharịa nʼụkwụ efu afọ atọ ndị a niile, ọ bụ ihe ama na ihe ịdọ aka na ntị na-egosi ihe gaje ịbịakwasị ndị Ijipt na ndị Kush.

Yahweh said, “As my servant Isaiah has walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and a wonder concerning Egypt and concerning Ethiopia,

4 Nʼihi na otu a ka eze Asịrịa ga-esi kpụrụ ndị Ijipt na ndị Kush ọ dọtara nʼagha. Ha ga-agba ọtọ na-ejegharị nʼụkwụ efu, ma nwantakịrị ma okenye. Otule ha gba ọtọ ga-abụrụ Ijipt ihe ihere.

so the king of Assyria will lead away the captives of Egypt and the exiles of Ethiopia, young and old, naked and barefoot, and with buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.

5 Egwu ga-ejide ndị ahụ niile nwere nchekwube nʼike Kush, na ndị ahụ niile jiri Ijipt nyaa isi ga-ada mba. Ihere ga-emekwa ha.

They will be dismayed and confounded, because of Ethiopia their expectation, and of Egypt their glory.

6 Nʼụbọchị ahụ, ndị ahụ dịnyeere ha, bụ ndị bi nʼọnụ mmiri ha ga-asị, ‘Ọ bụrụ na ihe dị otu a dakwasịrị ndị Ijipt anyị tụkwasịrị obi inyere anyị aka, na ịnapụta anyị site nʼaka eze Asịrịa, ebeekwanụ ka anyị ga-agbaga?’”

The inhabitants of this coast land will say in that day, ‘Behold, this is our expectation, where we fled for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria. And we, how will we escape?’”
