1ʻI he taʻu naʻe haʻu ai ʻa Tatani ki ʻAsitoti, (i he kuonga naʻe fekau ia ʻe Sakone ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia,) ʻo ne tauʻi ʻa ʻAsitoti, pea lavaʻi ia;
1In 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:
2ʻI he kuonga pe ko ia naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia ʻIsaia ko e foha ʻo ʻAmosi, ʻo pehē, “ʻAlu ʻo vete ʻae tauangaʻa mei hoʻo noʻotanga vala, pea toʻo ʻae topuvaʻe mei ho vaʻe. Pea naʻa ne fai ia, ʻo ʻeveʻeva taʻehakofu pea taʻetopuvaʻe.
2At 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.
3Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻO hangē kuo ʻeveʻeva telefua pea taʻehatopuvaʻe ʻa ʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko ʻIsaia ʻi he taʻu ʻe tolu ko e fakaʻilonga mo e meʻa fakaofo ki ʻIsipite pea ki ʻItiopea;
3And 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,
4ʻE pehē ʻae taki pōpula ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia ʻae kakai ʻo ʻIsipite, pea mo e kakai pōpula ʻo ʻItiopea, ʻae talavou mo e mātuʻa, ʻae telefua mo e taʻehatopuvaʻe, ʻio, ʻi he taʻekofu honau kongaloto, ko e fakamā ʻoe kakai ʻIsipite.
4So 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.
5Pea te nau manavahē pea mā ki ʻItiopea ko ʻenau ʻamanaki, pea mo ʻIsipite ko honau vikivikiʻanga.
5And they shall be afraid, and ashamed of Ethiopia their hope, and of Egypt their glory.
6Pea ʻe pehē ʻae tangata ʻoe fonua ni ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ‘Vakai ʻoku pehē ʻemau ʻamanaki, ʻaia naʻa mau hola ki ai ke maʻu ʻae tokoni ke mau hao ai mei he tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia: pea ʻe fēfē koā ʻemau hao?’”
6And 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?
