< Isaiah 20 >
1 Ní ọdún tí olórí ogun, tí Sagoni ọba Asiria rán an, wá sí Aṣdodu, ó kọlù ú ó sì kó o—
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 ní àkókò náà ni ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa ti ẹnu Isaiah ọmọ Amosi jáde. Ó sọ fún un pé, “Mú aṣọ ọ̀fọ̀ kúrò ní ara rẹ kí o sì bọ́ sálúbàtà kúrò ní ẹsẹ̀ rẹ.” Ó sì ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, ó ń lọ káàkiri ní ìhòhò àti láì wọ bàtà.
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 Lẹ́yìn náà ni Olúwa wí pé, “Gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìránṣẹ́ mi Isaiah ti lọ káàkiri ní ìhòhò àti láì wọ bàtà fún ọdún mẹ́ta, gẹ́gẹ́ bí àmì àti àpẹẹrẹ sí Ejibiti àti Kuṣi,
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 bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ ni ọba Asiria yóò kó àwọn ìgbèkùn Ejibiti lọ ní ìhòhò àti láì wọ bàtà pẹ̀lú àwọn àtìpó Kuṣi, ọ̀dọ́ àti àgbà, pẹ̀lú ìbàdí ìhòhò—bí àbùkù Ejibiti.
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 Gbogbo àwọn tí ó gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Kuṣi tí wọ́n sì ń fi Ejibiti yangàn ni ẹ̀rù yóò dé bá tí a ó sì dójútì wọ́n.
And they will be afraid and confounded over Ethiopia, their hope, and Egypt, their glory.
6 Ní ọjọ́ náà àwọn ènìyàn tí ó ń gbé ní etí Òkun yóò wí pé, ‘Wo ohun tí ó ti ṣẹlẹ̀ sí àwọn tí a ti gbẹ́kẹ̀lé, àwọn tí a sá tọ̀ lọ fún ìrànlọ́wọ́ àti ìtúsílẹ̀ láti ọwọ́ ọba Asiria! Báwo ni a ó ṣe sálà?’”
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?”
