< 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 that Tharthan entered into Azotus, when Sargon the king of the Assyrians had sent him, and he had fought against Azotus, and had taken 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.
At that same time the Lord spoke by the hand of Isaias the son of Amos, saying: Go, and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins, and take off thy shoes from thy feet. And he did so, and went 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: As my servant Isaias hath walked, naked and barefoot, it shall be a sign and a wonder of three years upon Egypt, and upon 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 shall the king of the Assyrians lead away the prisoners of Egypt, and the captivity 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 shall be afraid, and ashamed of Ethiopia their hope, and of 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 the inhabitants of this isle shall say in that day: Lo this was our hope, to whom we fled for help, to deliver up from the face of the king of the Assyrians: and how shall we be able to escape?
