Izaija 20

1 U godini kad je vrhovni vojskovođa, koga bijaše poslao Sargon, kralj asirski, došao u Ašdod, napao ga i zauzeo,

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

2 u to vrijeme reče Jahve po Izaiji, sinu Amosovu: “Hajde, skini kostrijet s bokova i obuću izuj s nogu.” On to učini te iđaše gol i bos.

at 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 off your feet." He did so, walking naked and barefoot.

3 Tada reče Jahve: “Kao što je sluga moj Izaija tri godine išao gol i bos kao znak i znamenje Egiptu i Kušu,

The LORD said, "As my servant Isaiah has walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and a wonder concerning Egypt and concerning Ethiopia,

4 tako će kralj asirski odvesti sužnje iz Egipta i izgnanike iz Kuša, mlade i stare, gole i bose, otkrivenih zadnjica, sramote Egipta.

so 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.

5 Zbunit će se tad i posramiti zbog Kuša, svoje uzdanice, i Egipta, svojega ponosa.

They will be dismayed and confounded, because of Ethiopia their expectation, and of Egypt their glory.

6 I reći će u onaj dan stanovnici ovog primorja: 'Eto, to je uzdanica naša kojoj se utjecasmo da nam pomogne i spasi nas od kralja asirskoga. A kako da se mi spasimo?'”

The inhabitants of this coast land will say in that day, 'Look, this is our expectation, where we fled for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria. And we, how will we escape?'"
