Ihaia 20

1 I te tau i haere mai ai a Taratana ki Aharoro, i a ia i unga ra e Harakono kingi o Ahiria, i tana whawhaitanga ki Aharoro, a horo ana a reira i a ia;

In the year of the coming in of Tartan to Ashdod, when Sargon king of Asshur sendeth him, and he fighteth against Ashdod, and captureth it,

2 I taua wa ka korero a Ihowa, ara a Ihaia tama a Amoho, ka ki, Wetekina atu te kakahu taratara i tou hope, whakarerea atu ano tou hu i tou waewae. Na pera ana ia, haere tahanga ana, kahore hoki he hu.

at that time spake Jehovah by the hand of Isaiah son of Amoz, saying, 'Go, and thou hast loosed the sackcloth from off thy loins, and thy sandal thou dost draw from off thy foot,' and he doth so, going naked and barefoot.

3 Na ka mea a Ihowa, Ka rite ki taku pononga, ki a Ihaia, ka toru nei ona tau e haere tahanga ana, kahore hoki he hu, hei tohu, hei mea whakamiharo ki a Ihipa raua ko Etiopia;

And Jehovah saith, 'As My servant Isaiah hath gone naked and barefoot three years, a sign and a wonder for Egypt and for Cush,

so doth the king of Asshur lead the captivity of Egypt, and the removal of Cush, young and old, naked and barefoot, with seat uncovered — the nakedness of Egypt;

5 Ka pororaru ano ratou, ka whakama ki a Etiopia, ki ta ratou i tumanako ai, ki a Ihipa ano, ki to ratou kororia.

and they have been affrighted and ashamed of Cush their confidence, and of Egypt their beauty,

6 A e mea te tangata o taua takutai i taua ra, Nana, ko ta tatou tenei i tumanako ai, ko ta tatou i rere atu ai kia ora ai i te kingi o Ahiria; a me pehea tatou ka mawhiti ai?

and the inhabitant of this isle hath said in that day — Lo, thus [is] our trust, Whither we have fled for help, To be delivered from the king of Asshur, And how do we escape — we?'
