Isaiah 20

1 In [the] year came [the] supreme commander Ashdod towards when sent him Sargon [the] king of Assyria and he fought against Ashdod and he captured 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 time that he spoke Yahweh by [the] hand of Isaiah [the] son of Amoz saying go and you will loosen the sackcloth from on hips your and sandal[s] your you will take off from on feet your and he did thus he went naked and barefoot.

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 he said Yahweh just as he has gone servant my Isaiah naked and barefoot three years a sign and a portent on Egypt and on Cush.

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 he will lead away [the] king of Assyria [the] captive[s] of Egypt and [the] exile[s] of Cush young men and old [men] naked and barefoot and [ones] uncovered of buttock [the] nakedness 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 will be dismayed and they will be ashamed from Cush hope their and from Egypt boasting their.

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 And he will say [one who] dwells the coast this in the day that there! [is] thus hope our where we fled there for help to be delivered from before [the] king of Assyria and how? will we escape we.

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﹖」
