በዓመተ፡ ቦአ፡ ጣንታን፡ አዛጦን፡ አመ፡ ፈነዎ፡ አርና፡ ንጉሠ፡ ፋርስ፡ ወቀተላ፡ ለአዛጦን፡ ወአስተጋብኣ።

In the year that Tartan came to Ashdod, when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him, and he fought against Ashdod and took it;

亞述王撒珥根打發他珥探到亞實突的那年，他珥探就攻打亞實突，將城攻取。

20:2

ይእተ፡ አሚረ፡ ነበቦ፡ እግዚአብሔር፡ ለኢሳይያስ፡ ወልደ፡ አሞጽ፡ ወይቤሎ፤ ሖር፡ ወአእትት፡ መንጸፈ፡ እምሐቌከ፡ ወፍታሕ፡ አሣእነከ፡ እምእገሪከ፡ ወሖር፡ ዕራቀከ፡ ዘእንበለ፡ አሣእን፤ ወገብረ፡ ከማሁ፡ ወሖረ፡ ዕራቆ፡ ዘእንበለ፡ አሣእን።

at that time Yahweh spoke by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, “Go, and loosen the sackcloth from off your waist, and take your sandals from off your feet.” He did so, walking naked and barefoot.

那時，耶和華曉諭亞摩斯的兒子以賽亞說：「你去解掉你腰間的麻布，脫下你腳上的鞋。」以賽亞就這樣做，露身赤腳行走。

20:3

ወይቤ፡ እግዚአብሔር፤ በከመ፡ ሖረ፡ ኢሳይያስ፡ ቍልዔየ፡ ዕራቁ፡ ዘእንበለ፡ አሣእን፡ ከማሁ፡ ይከውን፡ ትእምርተ፡ ወመንክረ፡ ሠለስተ፡ ዓመተ፡ ለግብጽሂ፡ ወለኢትዮጵያሂ።

Yahweh said, “As my servant Isaiah has walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and a wonder concerning Egypt and concerning Ethiopia,

耶和華說：「我僕人以賽亞怎樣露身赤腳行走三年，作為關乎埃及和古實的預兆奇蹟。

20:4

ከመ፡ ከማሁ፡ ይወስዶሙ፡ ንጉሠ፡ ፋርስ፡ ለግብጽ፡ ወለኢትዮጵያ፣፡ ወይፄውውዎሙ፡ ለወራዙቶሙ፡ ወለአእሩጊሆሙ፡ ዕራቃኒሆሙ፡ ዘእንበለ፡ አሣእን፡ ወይትቀፈጽ፡ ኀፍረቶሙ፡ ለግብጽ።

so 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.

照樣，亞述王也必擄去埃及人，掠去古實人，無論老少，都露身赤腳，現出下體，使埃及蒙羞。

20:5

ወይትመውኡ፡ ግብጽ፡ ምስለ፡ ኢትዮጵያ፡ ወይትኀፈሩ፡ ግብጽ፡ ምስለ፡ ዘተወከሉ፡ እለ፡ ቦሙ፡ ይዜኀሩ።

They will be dismayed and confounded, because of Ethiopia their expectation, and of Egypt their glory.

以色列人必因所仰望的古實，所誇耀的埃及，驚惶羞愧。

20:6

ወይብሉ፡ ውእተ፡ አሚረ፡ እለ፡ ይነብሩ፡ ውስተ፡ ዛቲ፡ ደሴት፤ ናሁ፡ ንሕነ፡ ተወከልናሆሙ፡ ያድኅኑነ፡ ወንትመሐፀን፡ ቦሙ፡ ኀቤሆሙ።

The 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?’”

「那時，這沿海一帶的居民必說：『看哪，我們素所仰望的，就是我們為脫離亞述王逃往求救的，不過是如此！我們怎能逃脫呢？』」
