< Isaias 20 >

1 Nang taong dumating si Tartan kay Asdod, nang suguin siya ni Sargon na hari sa Asiria, at siya'y makipaglaban kay Asdod, at sakupin niya;
In the year in which Tharthan entered into Ashdod, when Sargon, the king of the Assyrians, had sent him, and when he had fought against Ashdod and had captured it,
2 Nang panahong yaon ay nagsalita ang Panginoon sa pamamagitan ni Isaias na anak ni Amoz, na nagsasabi, Ikaw ay yumaon, at kalagin mo ang kayong magaspang sa iyong mga balakang, at maghubad ka ng iyong panyapak sa iyong paa. At ginawa niyang gayon na lumakad na hubad at walang panyapak.
in that same time, the Lord spoke by the hand of Isaiah, the son of Amoz, saying: “Go forth, and remove the sackcloth from your waist, and take your shoes from your feet.” And he did so, going out naked and barefoot.
3 At sinabi ng Panginoon, Kung paanong ang aking lingkod na si Isaias ay lumakad na hubad at walang panyapak na tatlong taon na pinakatanda at pinakakamanghaan sa Egipto at sa Etiopia;
And the Lord said: Just as my servant Isaiah has walked naked and barefoot, as a sign and as a portent of three years over Egypt and over Ethiopia,
4 Gayon ihahatid ng hari sa Asiria ang mga bihag sa Egipto, at ang mga tapon sa Etiopia, bata at matanda, hubad at walang panyapak, at may mga pigi na litaw, sa ikapapahiya ng Egipto.
so also will the king of the Assyrians force the captivity of Egypt, and the transmigration of Ethiopia: young and old, naked and barefoot, with their buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.
5 At sila'y manganglulupaypay at mangapapahiya, dahil sa Etiopia na kanilang pagasa at sa Egipto na kanilang kaluwalhatian.
And they will be afraid and confounded over Ethiopia, their hope, and Egypt, their glory.
6 At ang nananahan sa baybaying ito ay mangagsasabi sa araw na yaon, Narito, gayon na lamang ang aming pagasa, na aming tinakasan na hiningan ng tulong upang makalaya sa hari sa Asiria: at kami paanong makatatanan?
And in that day, the inhabitants of a certain island will say: “Behold, this was our hope, we fled to them for help, to free us from the face of the king of the Assyrians. And now, how will we be able to escape?”
