Isaiah 20
1 One year King Sargon of Assyria sent the chief commander of his army [to take his soldiers] to capture Ashdod [city in Philistia].
No ano em que veio Tartan a Asdod, enviando-o Sargon, rei da Assyria, e guerreou contra Asdod, e a tomou;
2 At that time, Yahweh told me, “Take off the rough sackcloth that you have been wearing and take off your sandals.” [So] I did what he told me to do, and [then] I walked around naked and barefoot [for three years].
No mesmo tempo falou o Senhor pelo ministério de Isaias, filho d'Amós, dizendo: vai, solta o saco de teus lombos, e descalça os teus sapatos dos teus pés. E assim o fez, indo nu e descalço.
3 [Then] Yahweh said this [to the people of Judah]: “My servant Isaiah has been walking around naked and barefoot for the past three years. That is to show the terrible disasters that [I will cause the people of] Egypt and Ethiopia to experience.
Então disse o Senhor: Assim como anda o meu servo Isaias, nu e descalço, por sinal e prodígio de três anos sobre o Egito e sobre a Ethiopia,
4 What will happen is that the [army of the] King of Assyria will [invade those countries and capture many of the people and] take them away as their prisoners. They will force all them, including both the young ones and the old ones, to walk naked and barefoot. They will [also] force them to have no clothes around their buttocks, which will cause [the people of] Egypt to be ashamed.
Assim o rei da Assyria levará em cativeiro os presos do Egito, e os cativados da Ethiopia, assim moços como velhos, nus e descalços, e descobertas as nádegas para vergonha dos egípcios.
5 Then the people of other countries who trusted that the armies of Egypt and Ethiopia would be able to help them will be very dismayed/confused and afraid/disappointed.
E assombrar-se-ão, e envergonhar-se-ão, por causa dos ethiopes, para quem atentavam, como também dos egípcios, sua glória.
6 They will say, ‘We trusted that the armies of Egypt and Ethiopia [would help us and defend us, but they have been destroyed], so there is no way [RHQ] that we can escape from [being destroyed by the army of] the King of Assyria!’”
Então dirão os moradores desta ilha naquele dia: olhai que tal foi aquele, para quem atentavamos, a quem nos acolhemos por socorro, para nos livrarmos da face do rei da Assyria! como pois escaparemos nós?
