Isaiah 20

1 In the year of the coming in of Tartan to Ashdod, when Sargon king of Asshur sendeth him, and he fighteth against Ashdod, and captureth 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 Jehovah by the hand of Isaiah son of Amoz, saying, 'Go, and thou hast loosed the sackcloth from off thy loins, and thy sandal thou dost draw from off thy foot,' and he doth so, going naked 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 And Jehovah saith, 'As My servant Isaiah hath gone naked and barefoot three years, a sign and a wonder for Egypt and for Cush,

Tada reče Jahve: “Kao što je sluga moj Izaija tri godine išao gol i bos kao znak i znamenje Egiptu i Kušu,

4 so doth the king of Asshur lead the captivity of Egypt, and the removal of Cush, young and old, naked and barefoot, with seat uncovered — the nakedness 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 and they have been affrighted and ashamed of Cush their confidence, and of Egypt their beauty,

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

6 and the inhabitant of this isle hath said in that day — Lo, thus [is] our trust, Whither we have fled for help, To be delivered from the king of Asshur, And how do we escape — we?'

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?'”
