Izaija 20

1 V letu, ko je Tartan prišel v Ašdód (ko ga je asirski kralj Sargon poslal) in se boril zoper Ašdód in ga zavzel,

Before the year that the chief commander, sent by Sargon king of Assyria, came to Ashdod and attacked and captured it,

2 ob istem času je spregovoril Gospod po Izaiju, Amócovemu sinu, rekoč: »Pojdi in odveži vrečevino s svojih ledij in sezuj si čevelj s svojega stopala.« In storil je tako, hodeč nag in bos.

the LORD had already spoken through Isaiah son of Amoz, saying, “Go, remove the sackcloth from your waist and the sandals from your feet.” And Isaiah did so, walking around naked and barefoot.

3 Gospod je rekel: »Podobno kot moj služabnik Izaija tri leta hodi nag in bos za znamenje in čudo nad Egiptom in nad Etiopijo,

Then the LORD said, “Just as My servant Isaiah has gone naked and barefoot for three years as a sign and omen against Egypt and Cush,

4 tako bo asirski kralj odvedel Egipčane ujetnike in Etiopijce ujetnike, mlade in stare, nage in bose, celo z njihovimi nepokritimi zadnjicami, v egiptovsko sramoto.

so the king of Assyria will lead away the captives of Egypt and the exiles of Cush, young and old alike, naked and barefoot, with bared buttocks—to Egypt’s shame.

5 Bali se bodo in osramočeni bodo od Etiopije, njihovega pričakovanja in od Egipta, njihove slave.

Those who made Cush their hope and Egypt their boast will be dismayed and ashamed.

6 Prebivalec tega otoka bo na tisti dan rekel: ›Glej, takšno je naše pričakovanje, kamor smo pobegnili po pomoč, da bi bili osvobojeni pred asirskim kraljem in kako bomo pobegnili?‹«

And on that day the dwellers of this coastland will say, ‘See what has happened to our source of hope, those to whom we fled for help and deliverance from the king of Assyria! How then can we escape?’”
