Isaiah 20

1 Rhalboei ha pawk kum ah anih te Ashdod la a tueih hatah Assyria manghai Sargon loh Ashdod te a vathoh thil tih a loh.

In the year that Tartan came unto Ashdod, (when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him, ) and fought against Ashdod, and took it;

2 Te vaeng tue ah BOEIPA loh Amoz capa Isaiah kut ah a thui tih, “Cet lamtah na cinghen lamkah tlamhni te hlam laeh, na kho dongkah na khokhom khaw dul laeh,” a ti nah. Te dongah a saii tangloeng tih pumtling neh khotling la van.

At the same time spoke the LORD by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go and loose the sackcloth from off your loins, and put off your shoe from your foot. And he did so, walking naked and barefoot.

3 Te vaengah BOEIPA loh, “Ka sal Isaiah te pumtling neh khotling neh kum thum a van bangla Egypt neh Kusah taengah miknoek neh kopoekrhai om ni.

And the LORD said, Like my servant Isaiah has walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and wonder upon Egypt and upon Ethiopia;

4 Assyria manghai Egypt tamna, Kusah hlangsol camoe patong te Egypt kah a yah dongah pumtling khotling neh a ael tlaai awk la a hmaithawn ni.

So shall the king of Assyria lead away the Egyptians prisoners, and the Ethiopians captives, young and old, naked and barefoot, even with their buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.

5 Te vaengah amih kah a uepnah Kusah neh a boeimangnah Egypt khaw rhihyawp vetih yak ni.

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

6 Tekah khohnin ah tah te tuikaeng khosa long khaw, 'Assyria manghai mikhmuh lamloh aka huul ham bomnah neh mamih kah uepnah tah rhaelrham coeng tih mamih loh metlam m'poenghal eh he,’ a ti ni,” a ti.

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