Isaayyaas 20

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

In the year of the coming in of Tartan to Ashdod, when Sargon king of Asshur sends him, and he fights against Ashdod and captures 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.

at that time YHWH spoke by the hand of Isaiah son of Amoz, saying, “Go, and you have loosed the sackcloth from off your loins, and you draw your sandal from off your foot,” and he does so, going 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,

And YHWH says, “As My servant Isaiah has gone naked and barefoot three years, a sign and a wonder for Egypt and for 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 Asshur leads the captivity of Egypt, and the expulsion of Cush, young and old, naked and barefoot, with seat uncovered—the nakedness of Egypt;

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

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

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 the inhabitant of this island has said in that day—Behold, thus [is] our trust, To where we have fled for help, To be delivered from the king of Asshur, And how do we escape—we?”
