Isaiah 20

1 Before the year that the chief commander, sent by Sargon king of Assyria, came to Ashdod and attacked and captured it,

1 亚述王撒珥根派元帅攻陷非利士的亚实突城那年，

2 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.

2 耶和华吩咐亚摩斯的儿子以赛亚脱去身上的麻衣和脚上的鞋。以赛亚便遵命裸身赤足行走。

3 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,

3 耶和华说：“我仆人以赛亚已经裸身赤足行走三年，作为惩罚埃及和古实的标记和预兆。

4 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.

4 亚述王必把埃及的俘虏和古实的流亡者，无论老少，都裸身赤足地带走，使埃及蒙受羞辱。

5 Those who made Cush their hope and Egypt their boast will be dismayed and ashamed.

5 那些仰赖古实、仗着埃及夸口的人必惊恐羞愧。

6 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?’”

6 那时，沿海一带的居民必说，‘看啊！我们投靠他们，指望他们救我们脱离亚述王，他们竟落到这个地步！我们怎能逃脱呢？’”
