Isaiah 20
1 ଅଶୂରର ରାଜା ସର୍ଗୋନାଙ୍କ ପ୍ ରରେିତ ତର୍ତ୍ତନ ଅସଦୋଦ ନଗର ବିପକ୍ଷ ରେ ୟୁଦ୍ଧ କଲେ।
2 ସହେି ସମୟରେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ଅମାେସଙ୍କ ପୁତ୍ର ଯିଶାଇୟଙ୍କ ଦ୍ବାରା ଏହି କଥା କହିଲେ, ୟାଅ, ତୁମ୍ଭ କଟିରୁ ଚଟବସ୍ତ୍ର କାଢ଼ ଓ ପାଦରୁ ପାଦୁକା କାଢ଼।' ଯିଶାଇୟ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ଆଜ୍ଞା ପାଳନ କରି ବିବସ୍ତ୍ର ଏବଂ ଶୂନ୍ଯପାଦ ହାଇେ ଭ୍ରମଣ କଲେ।
3 ତା'ପ ରେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ କହିଲେ, ଆମ୍ଭର ଦାସ ଯିଶାଇୟ ତିନିବର୍ଷ ଧରି ବିବସ୍ତ୍ର ଓ ଶୂନ୍ଯପାଦ ହାଇେ ଭ୍ରମଣ କଲେ। ଏହା ମିଶର ଓ କୂଶ ପାଇଁ ଚିହ୍ନ ଓ ଅଦ୍ଭୁତ ଲକ୍ଷଣ ସ୍ବରୂପ ଅଟେ।
4 ଅଶୂର ରାଜା ମିଶର ଓ କୂଶରୁ ପରାସ୍ତ କରିବ। ମିଶରୀଯମାନେ ଲଜ୍ଜିତ ହବେ। କାରଣ ମିଶରୀଯ ଆବାଳବୃଦ୍ଧ ବନ୍ଦୀଙ୍କୁ ଓ କୂଶୀଯ ନିର୍ବାସିତ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ବିବସ୍ତ୍ର ଓ ଶୂନ୍ଯପାଦ କରି ସମାନେେ ତାଙ୍କ ଦେଶରୁ ନଇେଯିବେ।
5 ଲୋକମାନେ କୂଶକୁ ସାହାୟ୍ଯ ପାଇଁ ଚାହିଁବେ। ମାତ୍ର ସମାନେେ ନିରାଶ ହାଇେ ଭାଙ୍ଗି ପଡ଼ିବେ। ମିଶରର ଦର୍ପ ଚୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ ହବୋ ଦେଖି ତା'ର ଲୋକମାନେ ଆଶ୍ଚର୍ୟ୍ଯ ଓ ଲଜ୍ଜିତ ହବେ।'
6 ସହେି ସମୟରେ ସମୁଦ୍ର ନିଟକସ୍ଥ ନିବାସୀ କହିବେ, ଆମ୍ଭମାନେେ ଏହି ଦେଶଗୁଡ଼ିକ ଉପ ରେ ସାହାୟ୍ଯ ପାଇଁ ଭରସା ରଖିଥିଲୁ। ଅଶୂର ରାଜା ନିକଟକୁ ରକ୍ଷା ପାଇଁ ପାଇଁ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ନିକଟକୁ ଆମ୍ଭମାନେେ ବିଶ୍ବାସ ଭୂମି ଭାବି ଧାଇଁ ୟାଇଥିଲୁ। ମାତ୍ର ସହେି ଦେଶଗୁଡ଼ିକ ଅଧିକୃତ ହେଲା, ତବେେ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଆଉ କିଏ ରକ୍ଷା କରିବ ଓ ଆମ୍ଭମାନେେ କିପରି ବଞ୍ଚିବୁ ?'
1 In the year that Tartan came unto Ashdod, (when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him,) and fought against Ashdod, and took it;
2 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 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 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 And they shall be afraid and ashamed of Ethiopia their expectation, and of Egypt their glory.
6 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?
1 For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
2 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
3 And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the Lord of hosts.
4 Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.
5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord:
6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.
