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 that Tartan came unto Ashdod, (when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him, ) and fought against Ashdod, and took 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 the same time spake the Lord by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins, and put off thy shoe from thy foot. And he did so, walking 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,

And the Lord said, Like as my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and wonder upon Egypt and upon 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 away the Egyptians prisoners, and the Ethiopians captives, young and old, naked and barefoot, even with their buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.

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

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

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 the inhabitant of this isle shall say in that day, Behold, such is our expectation, whither we flee for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria: and how shall we escape?
