World English Bible
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 Tartan came to Ashdod, when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him, and he fought against Ashdod and took 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 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.
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;
3The LORD said, “As my servant Isaiah has walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and a wonder concerning Egypt and concerning 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 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.
5Pea te nau manavahē pea mā ki ʻItiopea ko ʻenau ʻamanaki, pea mo ʻIsipite ko honau vikivikiʻanga.
5They will be dismayed and confounded, because of Ethiopia their expectation, 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?’”
6The 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?’”
