Isaiah 20

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

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

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

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.

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

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

4 so 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.

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

5 And they shall be dismayed and confounded, because of Ethiopia their expectation, and of Egypt their glory.

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

6 And the inhabitant of this coast-land shall say in that day, Behold, such is our expectation, whither we fled for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria: and we, how shall we escape?

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?'”
