اشعیا 20
| سرگن، پادشاه آشور، سردار سپاه خود را به شهر اشدود در فلسطین فرستاد و آن را تسخیر کرد. | 1 |
One year King Sargon of Assyria sent the chief commander of his army [to take his soldiers] to capture Ashdod [city in Philistia].
| سه سال پیش از این رویداد، خداوند به اشعیا پسر آموص فرموده بود که لباس و کفش خود را از تن در بیاورد و عریان و پا برهنه راه برود، و اشعیا چنین کرد. | 2 |
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].
| هنگامی که اشدود به دست آشور افتاد خداوند فرمود: «خدمتگزار من اشعیا مدت سه سال عریان و پا برهنه راه رفته است. این نشانهٔ بلاهای هولناکی است که من بر مصر و حبشه خواهم آورد. | 3 |
[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.
| پادشاه آشور مردم مصر و حبشه را اسیر خواهد کرد و کوچک و بزرگ را مجبور خواهد ساخت عریان و پا برهنه راه بروند تا مصر را رسوا کند. | 4 |
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.
| آنگاه مردمی که در سواحل فلسطین زندگی می‌کنند و تکیه‌گاهشان حبشه، و فخرشان مصر است، پریشان و رسوا شده، خواهند گفت:”اگر بر سر مصر که می‌خواستیم از دست آشور به او پناه ببریم چنین بلایی آمد، پس بر سر ما چه خواهد آمد؟“» | 5 |
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 |
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!’”
