Isaayyaas 20

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

In the year that Tartan came to Ashdod, (when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him, ) and fought against Ashdod, and took 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 the same time spoke the LORD by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go, and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins, and put off thy shoe from thy foot. And he did so, walking 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 the LORD said, As my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and barefoot three years [for] a sign and wonder upon Egypt and upon 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 shall the king of Assyria lead away the Egyptians prisoners, and the Cushites captives, young and old, naked and barefoot, even with [their] hind-parts uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.

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

And they shall be afraid and ashamed of Cush their expectation, and of Egypt their glory.

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 isle shall say in that day, Behold, such [is] our expectation, whither we flee for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria: and how shall we escape?
