< Isaia 20 >

1 Amy taoñe nanamea’ i Tartane i Asdodey, (ie nampañitrife’ ty mpanjaka’ i Asore), le nialia’e ty Asdode vaho tinava’e;
In the year when Sargon, king of Assyria, sent his army commander to attack the town of Ashdod and conquered it,
2 ie amy taoñe zay, le nitsara am’ Iesaià ana’ i Amotse t’Iehovà nanao ty hoe: Akia, abalaho hiafake an-toha’o eo i lamban-goniy vaho apolitiro am-pandia’o o hana’oo. Nanoe’e zay, nañavelo nihalo tsy aman-kana.
at that time the Lord spoke through Isaiah, son of Amoz. He told him, “Take off the sackcloth clothes from your body and remove your sandals.” Isaiah did so and went around naked and barefoot.
3 Le hoe t’Iehovà: Manahake te nañavelo tsy aman-tsaroñe, tsy aman-kana telo taoñe ty mpitoroko Iesaià, t’ie ho viloñe naho halatsañe amy Mitsraime naho amy Kose,
Then the Lord said, “In the same way that my servant Isaiah has gone naked and barefoot for three years as a sign and a warning against Egypt and Ethiopia,
4 le ho kozozote’ ty mpanjaka’ i Asore o mpirohi’ i Mitsraimeo naho o hasese boake Koseo, hibongy vaho tsy ho aman-kana, ty kede naho ty bey, tsy ho aman-tsaro ty voli’e ho ami’ty hasalara’ i Mitsraime.
so shall the king of Assyria lead the Egyptian prisoners and the Ethiopian exiles, both young and old, naked and barefoot. Their buttocks will be bare, to Egypt's shame.
5 Ho lonjetse naho meñatse iereo ty amy Kose, fitamà’ iareo, naho i Mitsraime fisengea’ iareo.
They will be discouraged and humiliated because they had put their hope in Ethiopia and proudly trusted in Egypt.
6 Le hanao ty hoe ty mpimoneñe añ’olo-tane atoy amy andro zay: Heheke o nitamaen-tikañeo, i nipitsihan-tika nipay olotse hivotsoran-tika amy mpanjaka’ i Asoreiy; tika ‘nio! aia ty hivoratsahan-tika?
At that time the people living in the coastal lands will say, ‘Look what has happened those we were depending on! We ran to them for help to save us from the king of Assyria. We don't stand a chance!’”
