< U-Isaya 20 >
1 Ngomnyaka wokufika kukaTharithani eAshidodi, lapho uSarigoni inkosi yeAsiriya emthuma, lapho walwa leAshidodi wayithumba;
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 ngalesosikhathi iNkosi yakhuluma ngesandla sikaIsaya indodana kaAmozi isithi: Hamba, ukhulule isaka ekhalweni lwakho, ukhuphe inyathela lakho enyaweni zakho. Wasesenza njalo, ehambaze engafakanga manyathela.
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 INkosi yasisithi: Njengalokhu inceku yami uIsaya isihambeze ingafakanga manyathela okweminyaka emithathu, kube yisibonakaliso lesimanga phezu kweGibhithe laphezu kweEthiyophiya;
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 ngokunjalo inkosi yeAsiriya izaqhuba abathunjiweyo beGibhithe labaxotshiweyo beEthiyophiya, abatsha labadala, beze bengafakanga manyathela, lezibunu zisegcekeni, kube lihlazo eGibhithe.
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 Basebesethuka baba lenhloni ngeEthiyophiya ithemba labo, langeGibhithe udumo lwabo.
以色列人必因所仰望的古实,所夸耀的埃及,惊惶羞愧。
6 Abahlali balesisihlenge bazakuthi ngalolosuku: Khangela, linjalo ithemba lethu, lapho esabalekelela usizo khona ukuze sikhululwe ebusweni benkosi yeAsiriya. Pho, thina sizaphunyuka njani?
“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?’”
