यशैया 20
1 अश्शूरका राजा सर्गानले टार्टनलाई अश्दोदमा पठाउँदा, तिनी आएको वर्षमा, तिनले अश्दोदको युद्ध लडे र त्यसलाई कब्जा गरे ।
One year King Sargon of Assyria sent the chief commander of his army [to take his soldiers] to capture Ashdod [city in Philistia].
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 ।
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 परमप्रभुले भन्नुभयो, “जसरी मेरो सेवक यशैया तिन वर्षसम्म नाङ्गै र खाली खुट्टाले हिंडेका छन्, यो मिश्रदेश र कूशको निम्ति चिन्ह र शकून हो—
[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 यसरी नै अश्शूरका राजाले मिश्रदेशका कैदी र कूशका निर्वासित, जवान र वृद्धहरूलाई मिश्रदेशलाई लाजमा पार्न नाङ्गै, खाली खुट्टा र चाक नै देखाएर लैजानेछ ।
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.
5 तिनीहरूका आशा कूश र तिनीहरूका गौरव मिश्रदेशको कारणले तिनीहरू व्याकुल र लज्जित हुनेछन् ।
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 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?'”
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!’”
