यशया 20
1 १ ज्या वर्षी सेनापती तर्तान अश्दोदास आला, म्हणजे जेव्हा अश्शूराचा राजा सर्गोन याने त्यास पाठवले, त्याने अश्दोदाविरूद्ध लढाई करून ते घेतले.
One year King Sargon of Assyria sent the chief commander of his army [to take his soldiers] to capture Ashdod [city in Philistia].
2 २ त्या वेळेला आमोजाचा मुलगा यशयाशी परमेश्वर बोलला आणि म्हणाला, “जा व तुझ्या कंबरे पासूनचे गोणपाटाचे वस्त्र काढून टाक व तुझ्या पायातील जोडे काढ.” त्याने तसे केले, तो नग्न व अनवाणी चालला.
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].
3 ३ परमेश्वर म्हणाला, “माझा सेवक यशया ज्याप्रमाणे मिसराविषयी आणि कूशाविषयी चिन्ह व शकुन असा तीन वर्षे नग्न व अनवाणी चालला आहे,
[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.
4 ४ त्याप्रमाणे मिसऱ्यांना लाज वाटावी म्हणून अश्शूरचा राजा मिसरच्या कैद्यांना व कूशाच्या तडीपार केलेल्या तरुणांना व वृद्धांना, नग्न आणि अनवाणी आणि त्यांचे कुल्ले उघडे करून नेईल.
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.
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.
6 ६ त्या दिवशी या समुद्रकिनाऱ्यावरील राहणारे लोक म्हणतील, “खरोखर, हा आमच्या आशेचा स्त्रोत, ज्याच्याकडे साहाय्यासाठी व अश्शूराच्या राजापासून रक्षण करण्यासाठी आम्ही पळालो तो असा आहे, तर आम्ही कसे सुटून जाऊ?”
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!’”
