Isaiah 20

In the year that Tartan came unto Ashdod, (when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him,) and fought against Ashdod, and took it;

U godini kad je vrhovni vojskovođa, koga bijaše poslao Sargon, kralj asirski, došao u Ašdod, napao ga i zauzeo,

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.

u to vrijeme reče Jahve po Izaiji, sinu Amosovu: "Hajde, skini kostrijet s bokova i obuću izuj s nogu." On to učini te iđaše gol i bos.

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;

Tada reče Jahve: "Kao što je sluga moj Izaija tri godine išao gol i bos kao znak i znamenje Egiptu i Kušu,

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.

tako će kralj asirski odvesti sužnje iz Egipta i izgnanike iz Kuša, mlade i stare, gole i bose, otkrivenih zadnjica, sramote Egipta.

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

Zbunit će se tad i posramiti zbog Kuša, svoje uzdanice, i Egipta, svojega ponosa.

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?

I reći će u onaj dan stanovnici ovog primorja: 'Eto, to je uzdanica naša kojoj se utjecasmo da nam pomogne i spasi nas od kralja asirskoga. A kako da se mi spasimo?'"
