Isaiah 20

1 In the year that Tharthan entered into Azotus, when Sargon the king of the Assyrians had sent him, and he had fought against Azotus, and had taken 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 At that same time the Lord spoke by the hand of Isaias the son of Amos, saying: Go, and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins, and take off thy shoes from thy feet. And he did so, and went 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: As my servant Isaias hath walked, naked and barefoot, it shall be a sign and a wonder of three years upon Egypt, and upon 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 shall the king of the Assyrians lead away the prisoners of Egypt, and the captivity 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 shall be afraid, and ashamed of Ethiopia their hope, and of 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 the inhabitants of this isle shall say in that day: Lo this was our hope, to whom we fled for help, to deliver up from the face of the king of the Assyrians: and how shall 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？’”
