Isaia 20
1 Tamin’ ny taona nankanesan’ i Tartana tany Asdoda, raha nirahin’ i Sargona, mpanjakan’ i Asyria, izy ka namely an’ i Asdoda ary nahafaka azy,
In the year that Tharthan came unto Ashdod, when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him, and fought against Ashdod, and captured it;
2 tamin’ izany andro izany no nampitondran’ i Jehovah teny an’ Isaia, zanak’ i Amoza, hoe: Andeha, borahy ny lamba fisaonana ho afaka amin’ ny valahanao, ary esory ny kiraronao hiala amin’ ny tongotrao. Dia nanao izany izy ka nandeha tsy nitafy sady tsy nikiraro.
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 Ary hoy Jehovah: Tahaka ny nandehanan’ Isaia mpanompoko telo taona sady tsy nitafy no tsy nikiraro mba ho famantarana sy ho fahagagana ny amin’ i Egypta sy Etiopia,
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 dia ho toy izany no hitondran’ ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria ny Egyptiana ho babo sy ny Etiopiana ho sambotra, na tanora na antitra, samy tsy hitafy sady tsy hikiraro no tsy hisarom-pe, ho henatr’ i Egypta.
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 Ary ho raiki-tahotra sy ho menatra ny Isiraely noho ny amin’ i Etiopia fanantenany sy Egypta reharehany.
And they shall be terrified, and ashamed of Cush their trust, and of Egypt their vaunt.
6 Ary amin’ izany andro izany ny mponina etỳ amoron-dranomasina dia hanao hoe: He! ity manjo ilay nantenaintsika sady nandosirantsika ho famonjena antsika ho afaka amin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria! Aiza intsony re no handosirantsika?
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?
