< Isaiah 20 >

1 In the year that Tharthan entered into Azotus, when Sargon the king of the Assyrians had sent him, and he had fought against Azotus, and had taken it:
In [the] year came [the] supreme commander Ashdod towards when sent him Sargon [the] king of Assyria and he fought against Ashdod and he captured it.
2 At that same time the Lord spoke by the hand of Isaias the son of Amos, saying: Go, and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins, and take off thy shoes from thy feet. And he did so, and went naked, and barefoot.
At the time that he spoke Yahweh by [the] hand of Isaiah [the] son of Amoz saying go and you will loosen the sackcloth from on hips your and sandal[s] your you will take off from on feet your and he did thus he went naked and barefoot.
3 And the Lord said: As my servant Isaias hath walked, naked and barefoot, it shall be a sign and a wonder of three years upon Egypt, and upon Ethiopia,
And he said Yahweh just as he has gone servant my Isaiah naked and barefoot three years a sign and a portent on Egypt and on Cush.
4 So shall the king of the Assyrians lead away the prisoners of Egypt, and the captivity of Ethiopia, young and old. naked and barefoot, with their buttocks uncovered to the shame of Egypt.
So he will lead away [the] king of Assyria [the] captive[s] of Egypt and [the] exile[s] of Cush young men and old [men] naked and barefoot and [ones] uncovered of buttock [the] nakedness of Egypt.
5 And they shall be afraid, and ashamed of Ethiopia their hope, and of Egypt their glory.
And they will be dismayed and they will be ashamed from Cush hope their and from Egypt boasting their.
6 And the inhabitants of this isle shall say in that day: Lo this was our hope, to whom we fled for help, to deliver up from the face of the king of the Assyrians: and how shall we be able to escape?
And he will say [one who] dwells the coast this in the day that there! [is] thus hope our where we fled there for help to be delivered from before [the] king of Assyria and how? will we escape we.
