1 In the year that Tartan came unto Ashdod, (when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him,) and fought against Ashdod, and took it;
Katika mwaka ule jemadari Yule alipofika Ashdodi, alipotumwa na Sargoni mfalme wa Ashuru; naye alipigana na Ashdodi akautwaa.
2 at the same time spake the LORD by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins, and put off thy shoe from thy foot. And he did so, walking naked and barefoot.
wakati huo Bwana alinena kwa kinywa cha Isaya, mwana wa Amozi, akisema, Haya, uvue nguo ya magunia viunoni mwako, na viatu vyako miguuni mwako.
3 And the LORD said, Like as my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and wonder upon Egypt and upon Ethiopia;
Naye akafanya hivyo akaenda uchi, miguu yake haina viatu. Bwana akasema, Kama vile mtumishi wangu Isaya anavyokwenda uchi, hana viatu, awe ishara na ajabu kwa muda wa miaka mitatu juu ya Misri na juu ya Kushi;
4 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.
vivyo hivyo mfalme wa Ashuru atawachukua uchi, wafungwa wa Misri, na watu wa Kushi waliohamishwa, watoto kwa wazee, hawana viatu, matako yao wazi, Misri iaibishwe.
5 And they shall be afraid and ashamed of Ethiopia their expectation, and of Egypt their glory.
Nao watafadhaika, na kuona haya kwa ajili ya Kushi, matumaini yao, na Misri, utukufu wao.
6 And the inhabitant of this isle shall say in that day, Behold, such is our expectation, whither we flee for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria: and how shall we escape?
Na mwenyeji wa nchi ya pwani atasema katika siku hiyo, Angalia, haya ndiyo yaliyowapata watu wale tuliowatumaini, ambao tuliwakimbilia watuokoe na mfalme wa Ashuru; na sisi je! Twawezaje kupona?
