Isaiah 20

1 In the year that Tartan entered Ashdod, when Sargon king of Assyria, sent him, —and he fought against Ashdod and captured it, —

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

2 At that time, spake Yahweh, through Isaiah son of Amoz, saying, Go, and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins, And thy sandal, draw thou off from thy foot, —And he did so, walking disrobed 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 Then said Yahweh, —As my servant Isaiah, hath walked, disrobed and barefoot three years as a sign and a wonder against Egypt and against 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 disrobed and barefoot, with their persons behind Uncovered 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 Thus shall they be confounded and turn pale, —For Ethiopia, their expectation, and For Egypt their boast;

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

6 And the inhabitant of this shore, shall exclaim, in that day, Lo! such, is our expectation, whereunto we fled for help, that we might be delivered from the presence of the king of Assyria! How then 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?'”
