< イザヤ書 20 >
1 アツスリヤのサルゴン王タルタンを遣してアシドドにゆかしむ 彼がアシドドを攻てとりし年にあたり
Before the year that the chief commander, sent by Sargon king of Assyria, came to Ashdod and attacked and captured it,
2 この時ヱホバ、アモツの子イザヤに托てかたりたまはく 往なんぢの腰よりあらたへの衣をとき汝の足より履をぬげ ここに於てかれその如くなし赤裸跣足にて歩めり
the LORD had already spoken through Isaiah son of Amoz, saying, “Go, remove the sackcloth from your waist and the sandals from your feet.” And Isaiah did so, walking around naked and barefoot.
3 ヱホバ言給く わが僕イザヤは三年の間はだかはだしにてあゆみ エジプトとエテオピアとの豫兆となり奇しき標となりたり
Then the LORD said, “Just as My servant Isaiah has gone naked and barefoot for three years as a sign and omen against Egypt and Cush,
4 斯のごとくエジプトの虜とエテオピアの俘囚とはアツスリヤの王にひきゆかれ その若きも老たるもみな赤裸跣足にて臀までもあらはしエジプトの恥をしめすべし
so the king of Assyria will lead away the captives of Egypt and the exiles of Cush, young and old alike, naked and barefoot, with bared buttocks—to Egypt’s shame.
5 かれらはその恃とせるエテオピアその誇とせるエジプトのゆゑをもて懼れはぢん
Those who made Cush their hope and Egypt their boast will be dismayed and ashamed.
6 その日この濱邊の民いはん 視よ われらの恃とせる國われらが遁れゆきて助をもとめアツスリヤ王の手より救出されんとせし國すでに斯のごとし 我儕はいかにして脱かるるを得んやと
And on that day the dwellers of this coastland will say, ‘See what has happened to our source of hope, those to whom we fled for help and deliverance from the king of Assyria! How then can we escape?’”
