1 In the year when the Tartan came to Ashdod, sent by Sargon, king of Assyria, and made war against it and took it;

2 At that time the word of the Lord came to Isaiah, the son of Amoz, saying, Go, and take off your robe, and your shoes from your feet; and he did so, walking unclothed and without shoes on his feet.

3 And the Lord said, As my servant Isaiah has gone unclothed and without shoes for three years as a sign and a wonder to Egypt and Ethiopia,

4 So will the king of Assyria take away the prisoners of Egypt and those forced out of Ethiopia, young and old, unclothed and without shoes, and with backs uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.

5 And they will be full of fear, and will no longer have faith in Ethiopia which was their hope, or in Egypt which was their glory.

6 And those living by the sea will say in that day, See the fate of our hope to whom we went for help and salvation from the king of Assyria: what hope have we then of salvation?

1 亚述王撒珥根差派统帅去亚实突的那年， 那统帅就攻打亚实突， 把城占领。

2 那时， 耶和华借着亚摩斯的儿子以赛亚说： "你解开你腰间的麻布， 脱去你脚上的鞋。"以赛亚就这样作了， 露体赤足行走。

3 耶和华说： "我的仆人以赛亚怎样露体赤足行走了三年， 作攻击埃及和古实的预兆和兆头，

4 亚述王也必照样把埃及的俘虏和古实被放逐的人带走， 无论老少， 都露体赤足， 露出下体， 使埃及蒙羞。

5 以色列人必因他们所仰望的古实和他们所夸耀的埃及， 惊惶羞愧。

6 到那日， 这沿海的居民必说： ‘看哪！ 我们所仰望的， 就是我们为着脱离亚述王， 逃往投靠的， 也不过是这样。我们又怎能逃脱呢？’"
