1 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.

١ وَفِي السَّنَةِ الَّتِي أَوْفَدَ فِيهَا سَرْجُونُ مَلِكُ أَشُّورَ تَرْتَانَ رَئِيسَ جَيْشِهِ إِلَى أَشْدُودَ وَحَارَبَهَا وَقَهَرَهَا،

2 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.

٢ تَكَلَّمَ الرَّبُّ عَلَى لِسَانِ إِشَعْيَاءَ بْنِ آمُوصَ قَائِلاً: «اذْهَبْ وَاخْلَعِ الْمُسُوحَ عَنْ حَقْوَيْكَ، وَانْزِعْ حِذَاءَكَ مِنْ قَدَمَيْكَ». فَفَعَلَ كَذَلِكَ وَمَشَى عَارِياً حَافِياً.

3 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.

٣ وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ: «كَمَا مَشَى عَبْدِي إِشَعْيَاءُ عَارِياً حَافِياً لِمُدَّةِ ثَلاثِ سَنَوَاتٍ عَلامَةً وَآيَةً عَلَى الْمَصَائِبِ الَّتِي سَأُنْزِلُهَا بِمِصْرَ وَكُوشَ،

4 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.

٤ هَكَذَا يَقُودُ مَلِكُ أَشُّورَ أَسْرَى مِصْرَ وَكُوشَ صِغَاراً وَكِبَاراً، عُرَاةً حُفَاةً بِأَقْفِيَةٍ مَكْشُوفَةٍ، عَاراً لِمِصْرَ.

5 And they will be dismayed and they will be ashamed from Cush hope their and from Egypt boasting their.

٥ عِنْدَئِذٍ يَفْزَعُ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ الَّذِينَ اعْتَمَدُوا عَلَى كُوشَ رَجَائِهِمْ وَمِصْرَ فَخْرِهِمْ.

6 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.

٦ وَيَقُولُونَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ:’انْظُرُوا إِلَى مَا آلَ إِلَيْهِ مَنْ كَانَ رَجَاؤُنَا، وَإِلَى مَنْ لُذْنَا بِهِ لِيُنْقِذَنَا مِنْ مَلِكِ أَشُّورَ، فَكَيْفَ نَنْجُو نَحْنُ؟‘»
