Isaiah 20

1 In the year that Tartan came to Ashdod, when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him, and he fought against Ashdod and took it;

I te tau i haere mai ai a Taratana ki Aharoro, i a ia i unga ra e Harakono kingi o Ahiria, i tana whawhaitanga ki Aharoro, a horo ana a reira i a ia;

2 at that time the LORD spoke by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, “Go, and loosen the sackcloth from off your waist, and take your sandals from off your feet.” He did so, walking naked and barefoot.

I taua wa ka korero a Ihowa, ara a Ihaia tama a Amoho, ka ki, Wetekina atu te kakahu taratara i tou hope, whakarerea atu ano tou hu i tou waewae. Na pera ana ia, haere tahanga ana, kahore hoki he hu.

3 The LORD said, “As my servant Isaiah has walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and a wonder concerning Egypt and concerning Ethiopia,

Na ka mea a Ihowa, Ka rite ki taku pononga, ki a Ihaia, ka toru nei ona tau e haere tahanga ana, kahore hoki he hu, hei tohu, hei mea whakamiharo ki a Ihipa raua ko Etiopia;

4 so the king of Assyria will lead away the captives of Egypt and the exiles of Ethiopia, young and old, naked and barefoot, and with buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.

Ka pena ano ta te kingi o Ahiria arahi i nga Ihipiana hei parau, i nga Etiopiana hei whakarau, i te taitamariki, i te kaumatua, kahore he kakahu, kahore he hu, takoto kau ana nga papa, whakama iho a Ihipa.

5 They will be dismayed and confounded, because of Ethiopia their expectation, and of Egypt their glory.

Ka pororaru ano ratou, ka whakama ki a Etiopia, ki ta ratou i tumanako ai, ki a Ihipa ano, ki to ratou kororia.

6 The inhabitants of this coast land will say in that day, ‘Behold, this is our expectation, where we fled for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria. And we, how will we escape?’”

A e mea te tangata o taua takutai i taua ra, Nana, ko ta tatou tenei i tumanako ai, ko ta tatou i rere atu ai kia ora ai i te kingi o Ahiria; a me pehea tatou ka mawhiti ai?
