1 in/on/with year to come (in): come Tartan Ashdod [to] in/on/with to send: depart [obj] him Sargon king Assyria and to fight in/on/with Ashdod and to capture her

One year King Sargon of Assyria sent the chief commander of his army [to take his soldiers] to capture Ashdod [city in Philistia].

At that time, Yahweh told me, “Take off the rough sackcloth that you have been wearing and take off your sandals.” [So] I did what he told me to do, and [then] I walked around naked and barefoot [for three years].

3 and to say LORD like/as as which to go: walk servant/slave my Isaiah naked and barefoot three year sign: indicator and wonder upon Egypt and upon Cush

[Then] Yahweh said this [to the people of Judah]: “My servant Isaiah has been walking around naked and barefoot for the past three years. That is to show the terrible disasters that [I will cause the people of] Egypt and Ethiopia to experience.

4 so to lead king Assyria [obj] captivity Egypt and [obj] captivity Cush youth and old naked and barefoot and to strip buttock nakedness Egypt

What will happen is that the [army of the] King of Assyria will [invade those countries and capture many of the people and] take them away as their prisoners. They will force all them, including both the young ones and the old ones, to walk naked and barefoot. They will [also] force them to have no clothes around their buttocks, which will cause [the people of] Egypt to be ashamed.

5 and to to be dismayed and be ashamed from Cush expectation their and from Egypt beauty their

Then the people of other countries who trusted that the armies of Egypt and Ethiopia would be able to help them will be very dismayed/confused and afraid/disappointed.

They will say, ‘We trusted that the armies of Egypt and Ethiopia [would help us and defend us, but they have been destroyed], so there is no way [RHQ] that we can escape from [being destroyed by the army of] the King of Assyria!’”
