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,

In the year when Sargon, king of Assyria, sent his army commander to attack the town of Ashdod and conquered 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.

at that time the Lord spoke through Isaiah, son of Amoz. He told him, “Take off the sackcloth clothes from your body and remove your sandals.” Isaiah did so and went 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, “In the same way that my servant Isaiah has gone naked and barefoot for three years as a sign and a warning against Egypt and Ethiopia,

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 shall the king of Assyria lead the Egyptian prisoners and the Ethiopian exiles, both young and old, naked and barefoot. Their buttocks will be bare, to Egypt's shame.

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

They will be discouraged and humiliated because they had put their hope in Ethiopia and proudly trusted in Egypt.

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?‹«

At that time the people living in the coastal lands will say, ‘Look what has happened those we were depending on! We ran to them for help to save us from the king of Assyria. We don't stand a chance!’”
