< 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].
В год, когда Тартан пришел к Азоту, быв послан от Саргона, царя Ассирийского, и воевал против Азота, и взял его,
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].
в то самое время Господь сказал Исаии, сыну Амосову, так: пойди и сними вретище с чресл твоих и сбрось сандалии твои с ног твоих. Он так и сделал: ходил нагой и босой.
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.
И сказал Господь: как раб Мой Исаия ходил нагой и босой три года, в указание и предзнаменование о Египте и Ефиопии,
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.
так поведет царь Ассирийский пленников из Египта и переселенцев из Ефиопии, молодых и старых, нагими и босыми и с обнаженными чреслами, в посрамление Египту.
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.
Тогда ужаснутся и устыдятся из-за Ефиопии, надежды своей, и из-за Египта, которым хвалились.
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!’”
И скажут в тот день жители этой страны: вот каковы те, на которых мы надеялись и к которым прибегали за помощью, чтобы спастись от царя Ассирийского! и как спаслись бы мы?
