< Isaiah 20 >
1 In the year in which Tharthan entered into Ashdod, when Sargon, the king of the Assyrians, had sent him, and when he had fought against Ashdod and had captured it,
亚述王撒珥根打发他珥探到亚实突的那年,他珥探就攻打亚实突,将城攻取。
2 in that same time, the Lord spoke by the hand of Isaiah, the son of Amoz, saying: “Go forth, and remove the sackcloth from your waist, and take your shoes from your feet.” And he did so, going out naked and barefoot.
那时,耶和华晓谕亚摩斯的儿子以赛亚说:“你去解掉你腰间的麻布,脱下你脚上的鞋。”以赛亚就这样做,露身赤脚行走。
3 And the Lord said: Just as my servant Isaiah has walked naked and barefoot, as a sign and as a portent of three years over Egypt and over Ethiopia,
耶和华说:“我仆人以赛亚怎样露身赤脚行走三年,作为关乎埃及和古实的预兆奇迹。
4 so also will the king of the Assyrians force the captivity of Egypt, and the transmigration of Ethiopia: young and old, naked and barefoot, with their buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.
照样,亚述王也必掳去埃及人,掠去古实人,无论老少,都露身赤脚,现出下体,使埃及蒙羞。
5 And they will be afraid and confounded over Ethiopia, their hope, and Egypt, their glory.
以色列人必因所仰望的古实,所夸耀的埃及,惊惶羞愧。
6 And in that day, the inhabitants of a certain island will say: “Behold, this was our hope, we fled to them for help, to free us from the face of the king of the Assyrians. And now, how will we be able to escape?”
“那时,这沿海一带的居民必说:‘看哪,我们素所仰望的,就是我们为脱离亚述王逃往求救的,不过是如此!我们怎能逃脱呢?’”
