Isaya 20

1 Katika mwaka ule ambao jemadari mkuu alitumwa na Mfalme Sargoni wa Ashuru, naye akaja mpaka Ashdodi, akaushambulia na kuuteka,

In [the] year came [the] supreme commander Ashdod towards when sent him Sargon [the] king of Assyria and he fought against Ashdod and he captured it.

2 wakati ule Bwana alisema kwa kinywa cha Isaya mwana wa Amozi. Akamwambia, “Vua nguo ya gunia kutoka mwilini mwako na viatu kutoka miguuni mwako.” Naye akafanya hivyo, akatembea huku na huko uchi, bila viatu.

At the time that he spoke Yahweh by [the] hand of Isaiah [the] son of Amoz saying go and you will loosen the sackcloth from on hips your and sandal[s] your you will take off from on feet your and he did thus he went naked and barefoot.

3 Kisha Bwana akasema, “Kama vile mtumishi wangu Isaya alivyotembea uchi na bila viatu kwa miaka mitatu, kama ishara na dalili mbaya dhidi ya nchi ya Misri na Kushi,

And he said Yahweh just as he has gone servant my Isaiah naked and barefoot three years a sign and a portent on Egypt and on Cush.

4 vivyo hivyo mfalme wa Ashuru atawaongoza mateka wa Wamisri, na watu wa uhamisho wa Kushi, uchi na bila viatu, vijana hata wazee, wakiwa matako wazi, kwa aibu ya Wamisri.

So he will lead away [the] king of Assyria [the] captive[s] of Egypt and [the] exile[s] of Cush young men and old [men] naked and barefoot and [ones] uncovered of buttock [the] nakedness of Egypt.

5 Wale waliotegemea Kushi na kujivunia Misri wataogopa na kuaibika.

And they will be dismayed and they will be ashamed from Cush hope their and from Egypt boasting their.

6 Katika siku ile watu wanaoishi katika pwani hii watasema, ‘Tazama lililowapata wale tuliowategemea, wale tuliowakimbilia kwa msaada na wokovu kutoka mikononi mwa mfalme wa Ashuru! Tutawezaje basi kupona?’”

And he will say [one who] dwells the coast this in the day that there! [is] thus hope our where we fled there for help to be delivered from before [the] king of Assyria and how? will we escape we.
