Jesajas 20

1 Tanī gadā, kad Tartans gāja uz Ašdodu, Asīrijas ķēniņa Zargona sūtīts, un karoja pret Ašdodu un to uzņēma, -

In the year when Sargon, king of Assyria, sent his army commander to attack the town of Ashdod and conquered it,

2 Tai laikā Tas Kungs runāja caur Jesaju, Amoca dēlu, sacīdams: ej un atraisi to maisu no saviem gurniem, un novelc savas kurpes no savām kājām. Un viņš tā darīja un staigāja pliks un basām kājām.

at that time the Lord spoke through Isaiah, son of Amoz. He told him, “Take off the sackcloth clothes from your body and remove your sandals.” Isaiah did so and went around naked and barefoot.

3 Tad Tas Kungs sacīja: tā kā Mans kalps Jesaja staigā pliks un basām kājām, trīs gadus par zīmi un priekšzīmi Ēģiptei un Moru zemei, -

Then the Lord said, “In the same way that my servant Isaiah has gone naked and barefoot for three years as a sign and a warning against Egypt and Ethiopia,

4 Tā Asīrijas ķēniņš aizvedīs Ēģiptes cietumniekus un Moru ļaužu aizdzītos, jaunus un vecus, plikus un basām kājām, ar atsegtu pakaļu Ēģiptei par kaunu.

so shall the king of Assyria lead the Egyptian prisoners and the Ethiopian exiles, both young and old, naked and barefoot. Their buttocks will be bare, to Egypt's shame.

5 Un iztrūcināsies un kaunēsies Moru ļaužu dēļ, uz ko paļāvās, un Ēģiptes dēļ ar ko lielījās.

They will be discouraged and humiliated because they had put their hope in Ethiopia and proudly trusted in Egypt.

6 Un šīs jūrmalas ļaudis sacīs tai dienā: redzi, vai šis ir mūsu patvērums, kurp mēs skrējām pēc palīga, ka tiktu izglābti no Asīrijas ķēniņa? Kā nu mēs izglābsimies?

At that time the people living in the coastal lands will say, ‘Look what has happened those we were depending on! We ran to them for help to save us from the king of Assyria. We don't stand a chance!’”
