Isaías 20

1 No ano em que Tartan veio a Ashdod, quando Sargon, o rei da Assíria, o enviou, e ele lutou contra Ashdod e o tomou;

One year King Sargon of Assyria sent the chief commander of his army [to take his soldiers] to capture Ashdod [city in Philistia].

2 naquela época Yahweh falou por Isaías, filho de Amoz, dizendo: “Vá, e solte o pano de saco de sua cintura, e tire suas sandálias de seus pés”. Ele o fez, andando nu e descalço.

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 Yahweh disse: “Como meu servo Isaías caminhou três anos nu e descalço por um sinal e uma maravilha a respeito do Egito e da Etiópia,

[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 assim o rei da Assíria levará os cativos do Egito e os exilados da Etiópia, jovens e velhos, nus e descalços, e com as nádegas descobertas, à vergonha do Egito.

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 Eles ficarão consternados e confusos, por causa da Etiópia sua expectativa, e do Egito sua glória.

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 Os habitantes desta terra costeira dirão naquele dia: “Eis que esta é a nossa expectativa, onde fugimos para pedir ajuda ao rei da Assíria para sermos libertados. E nós, como escaparemos?””.

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!’”
