Isaiah 20
1 One year King Sargon of Assyria sent the chief commander of his army [to take his soldiers] to capture Ashdod [city in Philistia].
En el año que vino Tartán en Azoto, cuando le envió Sargón, rey de Asiria, y peleó contra Azoto, y la tomó:
2 At that time, Yahweh told me, “Take off the rough sackcloth that you have been wearing and take off your sandals.” [So] I did what he told me to do, and [then] I walked around naked and barefoot [for three years].
En aquel tiempo habló Jehová por Isaías hijo de Amós, diciendo: Vé, y quita el saco de tus lomos, y descalza los zapatos de tus pies; e hízolo así, andando desnudo y descalzo.
3 [Then] Yahweh said this [to the people of Judah]: “My servant Isaiah has been walking around naked and barefoot for the past three years. That is to show the terrible disasters that [I will cause the people of] Egypt and Ethiopia to experience.
Y dijo Jehová: De la manera que anduvo mi siervo Isaías desnudo y descalzo tres años, señal y pronóstico sobre Egipto, y sobre Etiopía;
4 What will happen is that the [army of the] King of Assyria will [invade those countries and capture many of the people and] take them away as their prisoners. They will force all them, including both the young ones and the old ones, to walk naked and barefoot. They will [also] force them to have no clothes around their buttocks, which will cause [the people of] Egypt to be ashamed.
Así llevará el rey de Asiria la cautividad de Egipto, y la transmigración de Etiopía, de mozos y de viejos, desnuda y descalza, y descubiertas las nalgas, para vergüenza de Egipto.
5 Then the people of other countries who trusted that the armies of Egypt and Ethiopia would be able to help them will be very dismayed/confused and afraid/disappointed.
Y quebrantarse han, y avergonzarse han de Etiopía su esperanza, y de Egipto su gloria.
6 They will say, ‘We trusted that the armies of Egypt and Ethiopia [would help us and defend us, but they have been destroyed], so there is no way [RHQ] that we can escape from [being destroyed by the army of] the King of Assyria!’”
Y dirá en aquel día el morador de esta isla: Mirád que tal fue nuestra esperanza, donde nos acogimos por socorro, para ser libres de la presencia del rey de Asiria. ¿Y cómo escaparemos?
