Isaiah 20

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	SAGRADA BIBLIA
1 In the year in which Tharthan entered into Ashdod, when Sargon, the king of the Assyrians, had sent him, and when he had fought against Ashdod and had captured it,	1 No ano em que veio a Azot o general enviado por Sargão, rei da Assíria, este assediou Azot e apoderou-se dela.
2 in that same time, the Lord spoke by the hand of Isaiah, the son of Amoz, saying: “Go forth, and remove the sackcloth from your waist, and take your shoes from your feet.” And he did so, going out naked and barefoot.	2 {Naquele tempo o Senhor tinha falado pelo ministério de Isaías, nestes termos: Vai, desata o saco que trazes às costas e tira as sandálias dos teus pés. Isaías dispôs-se a executá-lo, ia nu e descalço.}
3 And the Lord said: Just as my servant Isaiah has walked naked and barefoot, as a sign and as a portent of three years over Egypt and over Ethiopia,	3 O Senhor disse: Do mesmo modo que meu servo Isaías vagueia nu e descalço há três anos, para dar uma imagem do que aguarda o Egito e a Etiópia,
4 so also will the king of the Assyrians force the captivity of Egypt, and the transmigration of Ethiopia: young and old, naked and barefoot, with their buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.	4 assim serão levados pelo rei da Assíria os prisioneiros egípcios e os deportados da Etiópia, moços e velhos, nus e descalços, com o dorso descoberto {a nudez do Egito}.
5 And they will be afraid and confounded over Ethiopia, their hope, and Egypt, their glory.	5 Então aqueles que esperavam na Etiópia e punham no Egito a sua confiança serão amedrontados e confundidos.
6 And in that day, the inhabitants of a certain island will say: “Behold, this was our hope, we fled to them for help, to free us from the face of the king of the Assyrians. And now, how will we be able to escape?”	6 Os habitantes desta costa dirão naquele dia: Eis aqueles em quem esperávamos, entre os quais queríamos encontrar proteção, procurar auxílio e socorro contra o rei da Assíria! Como nos livraremos deles?
