Isaiah 20
New American Standard Bible
Prophecy about Egypt and Ethiopia
20 In the year that the [a](A)commander came to (B)Ashdod, when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him and he fought against Ashdod and captured it, 2 at that time the Lord spoke through (C)Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, “Go and loosen the (D)sackcloth from your hips and take your (E)sandals off your feet.” And he did so, going (F)naked and barefoot. 3 Then the Lord said, “Even as My servant Isaiah has gone naked and barefoot for three years as a (G)sign and symbol against Egypt and [b](H)Cush, 4 so the (I)king of Assyria will lead away the captives of Egypt and the exiles of Cush, (J)young and old, naked and barefoot with buttocks uncovered, to the [c]shame of Egypt. 5 Then they will be (K)terrified and ashamed because of Cush their hope and Egypt their (L)pride. 6 So the inhabitants of this coastland will say on that day, ‘Behold, such is our hope, where we fled (M)for help to be saved from the king of Assyria; and (N)how are we ourselves to escape?’”

Profecía sobre Egipto y Cus
20 El año en que el comandante[a](A) vino a Asdod(B), cuando Sargón, rey de Asiria, lo envió y peleó contra Asdod y la tomó, 2 en aquel tiempo el Señor habló por medio[b] de Isaías, hijo de Amoz(C), diciendo: Ve y quítate el cilicio de tus lomos(D), y desata las sandalias de tus pies(E). Así lo hizo, y anduvo desnudo y descalzo(F). 3 Entonces el Señor dijo: Tal como mi siervo Isaías ha andado desnudo y descalzo por tres años como señal(G) y símbolo[c] contra Egipto y contra Cus[d](H), 4 así el rey de Asiria(I) llevará a los cautivos de Egipto y a los desterrados de Cus, jóvenes y viejos, desnudos, descalzos y descubiertas las nalgas, para vergüenza[e](J) de Egipto. 5 Entonces se desanimarán y se avergonzarán(K) a causa de Cus, su esperanza, y de Egipto, su jactancia(L). 6 Y dirán los habitantes de esta costa en aquel día: «He aquí, tal ha sido nuestra esperanza, adonde huíamos buscando auxilio(M) para ser librados del rey de Asiria; ¿y cómo escaparemos nosotros(N)?».

New International Version
A Prophecy Against Egypt and Cush
20 In the year that the supreme commander,(A) sent by Sargon king of Assyria, came to Ashdod(B) and attacked and captured it— 2 at that time the Lord spoke through Isaiah son of Amoz.(C) He said to him, “Take off the sackcloth(D) from your body and the sandals(E) from your feet.” And he did so, going around stripped(F) and barefoot.(G)
3 Then the Lord said, “Just as my servant(H) Isaiah has gone stripped and barefoot for three years,(I) as a sign(J) and portent(K) against Egypt(L) and Cush,[a](M) 4 so the king(N) of Assyria will lead away stripped(O) and barefoot the Egyptian captives(P) and Cushite(Q) exiles, young and old, with buttocks bared(R)—to Egypt’s shame.(S) 5 Those who trusted(T) in Cush(U) and boasted in Egypt(V) will be dismayed and put to shame.(W) 6 In that day(X) the people who live on this coast will say, ‘See what has happened(Y) to those we relied on,(Z) those we fled to for help(AA) and deliverance from the king of Assyria! How then can we escape?(AB)’”
