Isaiah 20

1 Before the year that the chief commander, sent by Sargon king of Assyria, came to Ashdod and attacked and captured it,

अश्शूरका राजा सर्गानले टार्टनलाई अश्दोदमा पठाउँदा, तिनी आएको वर्षमा, तिनले अश्दोदको युद्ध लडे र त्‍यसलाई कब्जा गरे ।

2 the LORD had already spoken through Isaiah son of Amoz, saying, “Go, remove the sackcloth from your waist and the sandals from your feet.” And Isaiah did so, walking around naked and barefoot.

त्यस बेला आमोजका छोरा यशैयाद्वारा परमप्रभु बोल्नुभयो र भन्‍नुभयो, “जा र तेरो कम्मरबाट भाङ्ग्रा हटा र तेरो खुट्टाको जुत्ता फुकाल् ।” नाङ्गो भएर र खाली खुट्टाले हिंडेर तिनले त्‍यसो गरे ।

3 Then the LORD said, “Just as My servant Isaiah has gone naked and barefoot for three years as a sign and omen against Egypt and Cush,

परमप्रभुले भन्‍नुभयो, “जसरी मेरो सेवक यशैया तिन वर्षसम्म नाङ्गै र खाली खुट्टाले हिंडेका छन्, यो मिश्रदेश र कूशको निम्ति चिन्ह र शकून हो—

4 so the king of Assyria will lead away the captives of Egypt and the exiles of Cush, young and old alike, naked and barefoot, with bared buttocks—to Egypt’s shame.

यसरी नै अश्शूरका राजाले मिश्रदेशका कैदी र कूशका निर्वासित, जवान र वृद्धहरूलाई मिश्रदेशलाई लाजमा पार्न नाङ्गै, खाली खुट्टा र चाक नै देखाएर लैजानेछ ।

5 Those who made Cush their hope and Egypt their boast will be dismayed and ashamed.

तिनीहरूका आशा कूश र तिनीहरूका गौरव मिश्रदेशको कारणले तिनीहरू व्याकुल र लज्‍जित हुनेछन् ।

6 And on that day the dwellers of this coastland will say, ‘See what has happened to our source of hope, those to whom we fled for help and deliverance from the king of Assyria! How then can we escape?’”

यी समुद्री तटका बासिन्दाहरूले त्यस दिन भन्‍नेछन्, साच्‍चै, यो हाम्रो आशाको स्रोत थियो, जहा अश्शूरको राजाबाट बच्‍नलाई हामी भाग्यौं, र अब हामी कसरी उम्किन सक्‍छौं र?'”
