1Negore rokusvika kwaTaritani paAshidhodhi, atumwa naSarigoni mambo weAsiria, akarwa neAshidhodhi nokurikunda;
1In the year that Tartan came to Ashdod, when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him, and he fought against Ashdod and took it;
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.
2at that time Yahweh spoke by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, “Go, and loosen the sackcloth from off your waist, and take your shoes from off your feet.” He did so, walking naked and barefoot.
3Zvino Jehovha akati, Muranda wangu Isaya sezvaakafamba asine nguvo asine shangu makore matatu akava chiratidzo nechishamiso pamusoro peEgipita neItiopia;
3Yahweh said, “As my servant Isaiah has walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and a wonder concerning Egypt and concerning Ethiopia,
4saizvozvo mambo weAsiria achaenda navatapwa veEgipita navakadzingwa veItiopia, vaduku navakuru Vasina nguvo vasina shangu, vakafukurwa zviuno, chive chinyadzo cheEgipita.
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.
5Vachavhunduswa nokunyadziswa pamusoro peItiopia, chivimbo chavo, neEgipita rumbidzo yavo.
5They will be dismayed and confounded, because of Ethiopia their expectation, and of Egypt their glory.
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?
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?’”
