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

¹Negore rokusvika kwaTaritani paAshidhodhi, atumwa naSarigoni mambo weAsiria, akarwa neAshidhodhi nokurikunda;

²at that time spoke Jehovah by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins, and put off thy sandal from thy foot. And he did so, walking naked and barefoot.

²nenguva iyo Jehovha akataura naIsaya mwanakomana waAmozi, achiti, Enda, undosunungura gudza riri pazviuno zvako, ubvise shangu yako parutsoka rwako. Iye akaita saizvozvo, akafamba asine nguvo, asine shangu.

³And Jehovah said, Like as my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and barefoot three years, a sign and a wonder concerning Egypt and concerning Ethiopia,

³Zvino Jehovha akati, Muranda wangu Isaya sezvaakafamba asine nguvo asine shangu makore matatu akava chiratidzo nechishamiso pamusoro peEgipita neItiopia;

⁴so shall the king of Assyria 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.

⁴saizvozvo mambo weAsiria achaenda navatapwa veEgipita navakadzingwa veItiopia, vaduku navakuru Vasina nguvo vasina shangu, vakafukurwa zviuno, chive chinyadzo cheEgipita.

⁵And they shall be terrified and ashamed of Ethiopia their confidence, and of Egypt their boast.

⁵Vachavhunduswa nokunyadziswa pamusoro peItiopia, chivimbo chavo, neEgipita rumbidzo yavo.

⁶And the inhabitants of this coast shall say in that day, Behold, such is our confidence, whither we fled for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria; and how shall we escape?

⁶Vagere panyika iyi iri pamahombekombe egungwa vachati nezuva iro, Tarirai, ndizvo zvaita chivimbo chedu, kwataitizira tichitsvaka kurwirwa kuna mambo weAsiria; ko isu zvino tichapukunyuka sei?
