< Isaias 20 >

1 Iti tawen nga immay ni Tartan idiay Asdod, idi imbaon isuna ni Sargon nga ari ti Asiria, nakiranget isuna iti Asdod ket sinakupna daytoy.
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 Iti dayta a tiempo, nagsao ni Yahweh babaen kenni Isaias a putot ni Amos a kinunana, “Mapanka ket ikkatem ti nakersang a lupot iti siketmo ken ikkatem dagita sandaliasmo.” Kasta ngarud ti inaramidna, nagnagna a lamolamo ken sakasaka.
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 Kinuna ni Yahweh, “Kas iti adipenko a ni Isaias a nagna a lamolamo ken sakasaka iti las-ud ti tallo a tawen, pagilasinan ken ballaag daytoy maipapan iti Egipto ken maipapan ti Etiopia-
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 iti kastoy a wagas nga ipanawto ti ari ti Asiria dagiti natiliw a kas balud a taga-Egipto ken dagiti naipanaw a kas balud a taga-Etiopia, ubing ken nataengan, lamolamo ken sakasaka ken saan a naabbongan dagiti patongda, a pakaibabainan ti Egipto.
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 Maupay ken maibabaindanto, gapu ta ti Etiopia ti namnamada ken ti Egipto ti dayagda.
And they shall be afraid, and ashamed of Ethiopia their hope, and of Egypt their glory.
6 Dagiti agnanaed kadagitoy nga igid ti baybay ket ibagadanto iti dayta nga aldaw, 'Pudno, daytoy ti nagtaudan ti namnamatayo, a nagkamangantayo tapno maispaltayo manipud iti Ari ti Asiria, ket ita, kasanotayo ngay a makalibas?’”
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?
