Esias 20

1 In the year when Tanathan came to Azotus, when he was sent by Arna king of the Assyrians, and warred against Azotus, and took it;

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

2 then the Lord spoke to Esaias the son of Amos, saying, Go and take the sackcloth off thy loins, and loose thy sandals from off thy feet, and do thus, going 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 And the Lord said, As my servant Esaias has walked naked and barefoot three years, there shall be three years for signs and wonders to the Egyptians and Ethiopians;

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

4 for thus shall the king of the Assyrians lead the captivity of Egypt and the Ethiopians, young men and old, naked and barefoot, having the shame of Egypt exposed.

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

5 And the Egyptians being defeated shall be ashamed of the Ethiopians, in whom they had trusted; for they were their glory.

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

6 And they that dwell in this island shall say in that day, Behold, we trusted to flee to them for help, who could not save themselves from the king of the Assyrians: and how shall we be saved?

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?'”
