Isaias 20

1Nang taong dumating si Tartan kay Asdod, nang suguin siya ni Sargon na hari sa Asiria, at siya'y makipaglaban kay Asdod, at sakupin niya; 2Nang panahong yaon ay nagsalita ang Panginoon sa pamamagitan ni Isaias na anak ni Amoz, na nagsasabi, Ikaw ay yumaon, at kalagin mo ang kayong magaspang sa iyong mga balakang, at maghubad ka ng iyong panyapak sa iyong paa. At ginawa niyang gayon na lumakad na hubad at walang panyapak. 3At sinabi ng Panginoon, Kung paanong ang aking lingkod na si Isaias ay lumakad na hubad at walang panyapak na tatlong taon na pinakatanda at pinakakamanghaan sa Egipto at sa Etiopia; 4Gayon ihahatid ng hari sa Asiria ang mga bihag sa Egipto, at ang mga tapon sa Etiopia, bata at matanda, hubad at walang panyapak, at may mga pigi na litaw, sa ikapapahiya ng Egipto. 5At sila'y manganglulupaypay at mangapapahiya, dahil sa Etiopia na kanilang pagasa at sa Egipto na kanilang kaluwalhatian. 6At ang nananahan sa baybaying ito ay mangagsasabi sa araw na yaon, Narito, gayon na lamang ang aming pagasa, na aming tinakasan na hiningan ng tulong upang makalaya sa hari sa Asiria: at kami paanong makatatanan?

1In the year that Tartan came to Ashdod, when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him, and he fought against Ashdod and took it; 2at that time Yahweh spoke by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, “Go, and loosen the sackcloth from off your waist, and take your shoes from off your feet.” He did so, walking naked and barefoot. 3Yahweh said, “As my servant Isaiah has walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and a wonder concerning Egypt and concerning Ethiopia, 4so the king of Assyria will lead away the captives of Egypt and the exiles of Ethiopia, young and old, naked and barefoot, and with buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt. 5They will be dismayed and confounded, because of Ethiopia their expectation, and of Egypt their glory. 6The inhabitants of this coast land will say in that day, ‘Behold, this is our expectation, where we fled for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria. And we, how will we escape?’”

1In het jaar, toen Tartan naar Asdod kwam, als hem Sargon, de koning van Assyrie gezonden had, toen hij krijg voerde tegen Asdod, en het innam; 2Ter zelfder tijd sprak de HEERE, door den dienst van Jesaja, den zoon van Amoz, zeggende: Ga heen, en ontbind den zak van uw lendenen, en doe uw schoenen van uw voeten. En hij deed alzo, gaande naakt en barrevoets. 3Toen zeide de HEERE: Gelijk als Mijn knecht Jesaja naakt en barrevoets wandelt, drie jaren, tot een teken en wonder over Egypte en over Morenland; 4Alzo zal de koning van Assyrie voortdrijven de gevangenen der Egyptenaren, en de Moren, die weggevoerd zullen worden, jongen en ouden, naakt en barrevoets, en met blote billen, den Egyptenaren tot schaamte. 5En zij zullen verschrikken en beschaamd zijn van de Moren, op dewelke zij zagen, en van de Egyptenaars, hun roem. 6En de inwoners van dit eiland zullen te dien dage zeggen: Ziet, alzo is het gegaan dien, op welken wij zagen, werwaarts wij henenvloden om hulp, om gered te worden van het aangezicht des konings van Assyrie; hoe zullen wij dan ontkomen?
