Isaiah 20
King James Version
20 In the year that Tartan came unto Ashdod, (when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him,) and fought against Ashdod, and took it;
2 At the same time spake the Lord by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins, and put off thy shoe from thy foot. And he did so, walking naked and barefoot.
3 And the Lord said, Like as my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and wonder upon Egypt and upon Ethiopia;
4 So shall the king of Assyria lead away the Egyptians prisoners, and the Ethiopians captives, young and old, naked and barefoot, even with their buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.
5 And they shall be afraid and ashamed of Ethiopia their expectation, and of Egypt their glory.
6 And the inhabitant of this isle shall say in that day, Behold, such is our expectation, whither we flee for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria: and how shall we escape?
Isaia 20
La Nuova Diodati
20 Nell'anno in cui Tartan venne a Ashdod, mandato da Sargon, re di Assiria, egli combattè contro Ashdod e la prese.
2 In quel tempo l'Eterno parlò per mezzo di Isaia, figlio di Amots, e gli disse: «Va' e rimuovi il sacco dai tuoi lombi e togli i calzari dai tuoi piedi». Egli fece così, andando nudo e scalzo.
3 Quindi l'Eterno disse: «Come il mio servo Isaia è andato nudo e scalzo per tre anni quale segno e presagio contro l'Egitto e contro l'Etiopia
4 cosí il re di Assiria condurrà via i prigionieri dell'Egitto e i deportati dell'Etiopia, giovani e vecchi, nudi e scalzi, con le natiche scoperte, a vergogna dell'Egitto.
5 Allora essi saranno spaventati e confusi, a causa dell'Etiopia, loro speranza, e a causa dell'Egitto, loro gloria.
6 In quel giorno gli abitanti di questa regione costiera diranno: «Ecco, che cosa è avvenuto a quelli nei quali riponevamo la nostra speranza e presso i quali ci eravamo rifugiati in cerca di aiuto, per essere liberati dal re di Assiria. Come scamperemo noi?».
Isaiah 20
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)’”
