Isaiah 20

1 In the year when the Tartan came to Ashdod, sent by Sargon, king of Assyria, and made war against it and took it;

V letu, ko je Tartan prišel v Ašdód (ko ga je asirski kralj Sargon poslal) in se boril zoper Ašdód in ga zavzel,

2 At that time the word of the Lord came to Isaiah, the son of Amoz, saying, Go, and take off your robe, and your shoes from your feet; and he did so, walking unclothed and without shoes on his feet.

ob istem času je spregovoril Gospod po Izaiju, Amócovemu sinu, rekoč: »Pojdi in odveži vrečevino s svojih ledij in sezuj si čevelj s svojega stopala.« In storil je tako, hodeč nag in bos.

3 And the Lord said, As my servant Isaiah has gone unclothed and without shoes for three years as a sign and a wonder to Egypt and Ethiopia,

Gospod je rekel: »Podobno kot moj služabnik Izaija tri leta hodi nag in bos za znamenje in čudo nad Egiptom in nad Etiopijo,

4 So will the king of Assyria take away the prisoners of Egypt and those forced out of Ethiopia, young and old, unclothed and without shoes, and with backs uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.

tako bo asirski kralj odvedel Egipčane ujetnike in Etiopijce ujetnike, mlade in stare, nage in bose, celo z njihovimi nepokritimi zadnjicami, v egiptovsko sramoto.

5 And they will be full of fear, and will no longer have faith in Ethiopia which was their hope, or in Egypt which was their glory.

Bali se bodo in osramočeni bodo od Etiopije, njihovega pričakovanja in od Egipta, njihove slave.

6 And those living by the sea will say in that day, See the fate of our hope to whom we went for help and salvation from the king of Assyria: what hope have we then of salvation?

Prebivalec tega otoka bo na tisti dan rekel: ›Glej, takšno je naše pričakovanje, kamor smo pobegnili po pomoč, da bi bili osvobojeni pred asirskim kraljem in kako bomo pobegnili?‹«
