यशैया 20

1 अश्शूरका राजा सर्गानले टार्टनलाई अश्दोदमा पठाउँदा, तिनी आएको वर्षमा, तिनले अश्दोदको युद्ध लडे र त्‍यसलाई कब्जा गरे ।

In the year in which Tharthan entered into Ashdod, when Sargon, the king of the Assyrians, had sent him, and when he had fought against Ashdod and had captured it,

2 त्यस बेला आमोजका छोरा यशैयाद्वारा परमप्रभु बोल्नुभयो र भन्‍नुभयो, “जा र तेरो कम्मरबाट भाङ्ग्रा हटा र तेरो खुट्टाको जुत्ता फुकाल् ।” नाङ्गो भएर र खाली खुट्टाले हिंडेर तिनले त्‍यसो गरे ।

in that same time, the Lord spoke by the hand of Isaiah, the son of Amoz, saying: “Go forth, and remove the sackcloth from your waist, and take your shoes from your feet.” And he did so, going out naked and barefoot.

3 परमप्रभुले भन्‍नुभयो, “जसरी मेरो सेवक यशैया तिन वर्षसम्म नाङ्गै र खाली खुट्टाले हिंडेका छन्, यो मिश्रदेश र कूशको निम्ति चिन्ह र शकून हो—

And the Lord said: Just as my servant Isaiah has walked naked and barefoot, as a sign and as a portent of three years over Egypt and over Ethiopia,

4 यसरी नै अश्शूरका राजाले मिश्रदेशका कैदी र कूशका निर्वासित, जवान र वृद्धहरूलाई मिश्रदेशलाई लाजमा पार्न नाङ्गै, खाली खुट्टा र चाक नै देखाएर लैजानेछ ।

so also will the king of the Assyrians force the captivity of Egypt, and the transmigration of Ethiopia: young and old, naked and barefoot, with their buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.

5 तिनीहरूका आशा कूश र तिनीहरूका गौरव मिश्रदेशको कारणले तिनीहरू व्याकुल र लज्‍जित हुनेछन् ।

And they will be afraid and confounded over Ethiopia, their hope, and Egypt, their glory.

6 यी समुद्री तटका बासिन्दाहरूले त्यस दिन भन्‍नेछन्, साच्‍चै, यो हाम्रो आशाको स्रोत थियो, जहा अश्शूरको राजाबाट बच्‍नलाई हामी भाग्यौं, र अब हामी कसरी उम्किन सक्‍छौं र?'”

And in that day, the inhabitants of a certain island will say: “Behold, this was our hope, we fled to them for help, to free us from the face of the king of the Assyrians. And now, how will we be able to escape?”
