Isaayyaas 20

1 Bara ajajaan muummichi Sargoon mooticha Asooriin ergame sun gara Ashdood dhufee lolee ishee qabate sana keessa,

Before the year that the chief commander, sent by Sargon king of Assyria, came to Ashdod and attacked and captured it,

2 yeroodhuma sanatti Waaqayyo karaa Isaayyaas ilma Amoosiitiin dubbate. Innis, “Uffata gaddaa dhagna kee irraa, kophees miilla kee irraa baasi” jedheen. Innis akkasuma godhe; qullaa fi miilla duwwaa asii fi achi deeme.

the LORD had already spoken through Isaiah son of Amoz, saying, “Go, remove the sackcloth from your waist and the sandals from your feet.” And Isaiah did so, walking around naked and barefoot.

3 Kana irratti Waaqayyo akkana jedhe; “Akkuma garbichi koo Isaayyaas, akka Gibxii fi Itoophiyaaf mallattoo fi akeekkachiisa taʼuuf jedhee waggaa sadii qullaa fi miilla duwwaa deeme sana,

Then the LORD said, “Just as My servant Isaiah has gone naked and barefoot for three years as a sign and omen against Egypt and Cush,

4 akkasuma mootiin Asoor boojiʼamtoota Gibxii fi baqattoota Itoophiyaa dargaggeessaa fi jaarsa, qullaa fi miilla duwwaa hambisee teessuma isaanii illee qullaa godhee fudhatee deeme; kun warra Gibxiitiif qaanii dha.

so the king of Assyria will lead away the captives of Egypt and the exiles of Cush, young and old alike, naked and barefoot, with bared buttocks—to Egypt’s shame.

5 Warri Itoophiyaa amanatanii Gibxiin boonan ni sodaatu; ni qaanaʼus.

Those who made Cush their hope and Egypt their boast will be dismayed and ashamed.

6 Gaafas warri qarqara galaanaa irra jiraatan akkana jedhu; ‘Warra nu itti irkanne, warra mooticha Asoor jalaa nu baasu jennee gargaarsaaf itti baqanne sana irra waan gaʼe mee ilaalaa! Yoos nu akkamitti jalaa baʼuu dandeenya?’”

And on that day the dwellers of this coastland will say, ‘See what has happened to our source of hope, those to whom we fled for help and deliverance from the king of Assyria! How then can we escape?’”
