Книга пророка Исаии 20

1 В лето, в неже вниде Танафан во Азот, егда послан бысть от Арны, царя Ассирийскаго, и воева на Азот и взя его,

In the year that Tharthan entered into Azotus, when Sargon the king of the Assyrians had sent him, and he had fought against Azotus, and had taken it:

2 тогда рече Господь ко Исаии сыну Амосову, глаголя: иди и сверзи вретище со чресл своих, и сандалия твоя иззуй с ног твоих, и сотвори сице, ходя наг и бос.

At that same time the Lord spoke by the hand of Isaias the son of Amos, saying: Go, and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins, and take off thy shoes from thy feet. And he did so, and went naked, and barefoot.

3 И рече Господь: якоже ходил раб Мой Исаиа наг и бос три лета, три лета будут знамения и чудеса Египтяном и Ефиопляном:

And the Lord said: As my servant Isaias hath walked, naked and barefoot, it shall be a sign and a wonder of three years upon Egypt, and upon Ethiopia,

4 яко такожде отведет царь Ассирийск плен Египетск и Ефиопск, юношы и старцы, наги и босы, откровены во стыдение Египту.

So shall the king of the Assyrians lead away the prisoners of Egypt, and the captivity of Ethiopia, young and old. naked and barefoot, with their buttocks uncovered to the shame of Egypt.

5 И постыдятся побеждени Египтяне о Ефиоплянех, на нихже уповаху Египтяне, бяху бо им слава.

And they shall be afraid, and ashamed of Ethiopia their hope, and of Egypt their glory.

6 И рекут живущии на острове сем в день оный: се, мы бехом уповающе бежати к ним на помощь, иже не могоша спастися от царя Ассирийска, и како мы спасемся?

And the inhabitants of this isle shall say in that day: Lo this was our hope, to whom we fled for help, to deliver up from the face of the king of the Assyrians: and how shall we be able to escape?
