< Isaiah 20 >
1 In the year that Tartan came to Ashdod, when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him, he fought against Ashdod and took 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 time Yahweh spoke by Isaiah son of Amoz and said, “Go and remove the sackcloth from your waist, and take your sandals off your feet.” He did so, walking 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 Yahweh said, “Just as my servant Isaiah has walked naked and barefoot for three years, it is a sign and an omen concerning Egypt and concerning Cush—
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 in this way the king of Assyria will lead away the captives of Egypt, and the exiles of Cush, young and old, naked and barefoot, and with 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 They will be dismayed and ashamed, because of Cush 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 The inhabitants of these coasts will say on that day, 'Indeed, this was our source of hope, where we fled for help to be rescued from the king of Assyria, and now, how can we 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?’”
