Yeşaya 20
1 Asur ordusunun başkomutanı, Asur Kralı Sargon'un buyruğuyla gelerek Aşdot'a saldırıp kenti ele geçirdiği yıl RAB Amots oğlu Yeşaya aracılığıyla şöyle dedi: “Git, belindeki çulu çöz, ayağındaki çarığı çıkar.” Yeşaya denileni yaptı, çıplak ve yalınayak dolaşmaya başladı.
One year King Sargon of Assyria sent the chief commander of his army [to take his soldiers] to capture Ashdod [city in Philistia].
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 RAB dedi ki, “Mısır'a ve Kûş'a belirti ve ibret olsun diye kulum Yeşaya nasıl üç yıl çıplak ve yalınayak dolaştıysa,
[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 Asur Kralı da Mısır'a utanç olsun diye Mısırlı tutsaklarla Kûşlu sürgünleri genç yaşlı demeden, çıplak ve yalınayak, mahrem yerleri açık yürütecek.
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 Kûş'a bel bağlayan, Mısır'la övünen halk hüsrana uğrayacak, utanç içinde kalacak.
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 Bu kıyı bölgesinde yaşayanlar o gün, “Asur Kralı'nın elinden kurtulmak için yardımına sığındığımız, bel bağladığımız ulusların başına gelene bakın!” diyecekler, “Biz nasıl kurtulacağız?”
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!’”
