20 Árið sem yfirhershöfðinginn kom til Asdód, sendur af Sargon Assýríukonungi, og herjaði á Asdód og vann hana, _

í það mund talaði Drottinn fyrir munn Jesaja Amozsonar á þessa leið: Far og leys hærusekkinn af lendum þér og drag skó þína af fótum þér. Og hann gjörði svo og gekk fáklæddur og berfættur.

Og Drottinn mælti: Eins og Jesaja þjónn minn hefir gengið fáklæddur og berfættur í þrjú ár sem tákn og fyrirburður um Egyptaland og Bláland,

svo skal Assýríukonungur færa burt bandingjana frá Egyptalandi og útlagana frá Blálandi, bæði unga og gamla, fáklædda og berfætta, með bera bakhlutina, Egyptum til smánar.

Þá munu þeir skelfast og skammast sín vegna Blálands, er þeir reiddu sig á, og Egyptalands, er þeir stærðu sig af. Og þeir, sem búa á þessari strönd, munu segja á þeim degi: "Svo er þá komið fyrir þeim, er vér reiddum oss á og flýðum til í von um hjálp til þess að frelsast undan Assýríukonungi! Hversu megum vér þá sjálfir komast undan?"

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— 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)

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) 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) Those who trusted(T) in Cush(U) and boasted in Egypt(V) will be dismayed and put to shame.(W) 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)’”

  1. Isaiah 20:3 That is, the upper Nile region; also in verse 5

20 In the year that Tartan came unto Ashdod, (when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him,) and fought against Ashdod, and took it;

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.

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;

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.

And they shall be afraid and ashamed of Ethiopia their expectation, and of Egypt their glory.

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?
