إِشَعْيَاءَ 20

١ 1 فِي سَنَةِ مَجِيءِ تَرْتَانَ إِلَى أَشْدُودَ، حِينَ أَرْسَلَهُ سَرْجُونُ مَلِكُ أَشُّورَ فَحَارَبَ أَشْدُودَ وَأَخَذَهَا،

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

٢ 2 فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ تَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَنْ يَدِ إِشَعْيَاءَ بْنِ آمُوصَ قَائِلًا: «اِذْهَبْ وَحُلَّ ٱلْمِسْحَ عَنْ حَقْوَيْكَ وَٱخْلَعْ حِذَاءَكَ عَنْ رِجْلَيْكَ». فَفَعَلَ هَكَذَا وَمَشَى مُعَرًّى وَحَافِيًا.

At the same time spoke 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.

٣ 3 فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «كَمَا مَشَى عَبْدِي إِشَعْيَاءُ مُعَرًّى وَحَافِيًا ثَلَاثَ سِنِينٍ، آيَةً وَأُعْجُوبَةً عَلَى مِصْرَ وَعَلَى كُوشَ،

And the LORD said, As my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and barefoot three years [for] a sign and wonder upon Egypt and upon Cush;

٤ 4 هَكَذَا يَسُوقُ مَلِكُ أَشُّورَ سَبْيَ مِصْرَ وَجَلَاءَ كُوشَ، ٱلْفِتْيَانَ وَٱلشُّيُوخَ، عُرَاةً وَحُفَاةً وَمَكْشُوفِي ٱلْأَسْتَاهِ خِزْيًا لِمِصْرَ.

So shall the king of Assyria lead away the Egyptians prisoners, and the Cushites captives, young and old, naked and barefoot, even with [their] hind-parts uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.

٥ 5 فَيَرْتَاعُونَ وَيَخْجَلُونَ مِنْ أَجْلِ كُوشَ رَجَائِهِمْ، وَمِنْ أَجْلِ مِصْرَ فَخْرِهِمْ.

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

٦ 6 وَيَقُولُ سَاكِنُ هَذَا ٱلسَّاحِلِ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ: هُوَذَا هَكَذَا مَلْجَأُنَا ٱلَّذِي هَرَبْنَا إِلَيْهِ لِلْمَعُونَةِ لِنَنْجُو مِنْ مَلِكِ أَشُّورَ، فَكَيْفَ نَسْلَمُ نَحْنُ؟».

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?
