Isaiah 20

1 In the yeere that Tartan came to Ashdod, (when Sargon King of Asshur sent him) and had fought against Ashdod, and taken it,

亞述王撒爾貢派遣總司令來到阿市多得，進攻克服阿市多得的那一年──

2 At the same time spake the Lord by ye hand of Isaiah the sonne of Amoz, saying, Goe, and loose the sackecloth from thy loynes, and put off thy shooe from thy foote. And he did so, walking naked and barefoote.

那時上主曾藉阿摩茲的兒子依撒意亞發言說：「去！脫下你腰間的苦衣，除去你腳上的鞋！ 」他就這樣作了，裸體赤足而行──

3 And the Lord said, Like as my seruant Isaiah hath walked naked, and barefoote three yeeres, as a signe and wonder vpon Egypt, and Ethiopia,

上主說：「就如我的僕人依撒意亞，三年之久，裸體赤足而行，為埃及和雇士是一個預言和先兆；

4 So shall the King of Asshur take away the captiuitie of Egypt, and the captiuitie of Ethiopia, both yong men and olde men, naked and barefoote, with their buttockes vncouered, to the shame of Egypt.

同樣亞述王要將埃及的俘虜和雇士的流徙帶走，無論老幼，一律裸體赤足，露著下體，好羞辱埃及。」

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

人們將對他們的仰望雇士，對他們的光榮埃及，感到失望和羞慚。

6 Then shall the inhabitant of this yle say in that day, Behold, such is our expectation, whither we fledde for helpe to be deliuered from the King of Asshur, and howe shall we be deliuered?

這一帶海濱的居民，在那天要說：「看！這原是我們所依賴，跑去求救，藉以擺脫亞述王的人！我們又怎能逃避呢﹖」
