Isaiah 20

1 In the year that Tartan came to Ashdod, when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him, he fought against Ashdod and took it.

In anno, quo ingressus est Thathan in Azotum, cum misisset eum Sargon rex Assyriorum, et pugnasset contra Azotum, et cepisset eam:

2 At that time Yahweh spoke by Isaiah son of Amoz and said, “Go and remove the sackcloth from your waist, and take your sandals off your feet.” He did so, walking naked and barefoot.

in tempore illo locutus est Dominus in manu Isaiæ filii Amos, dicens: Vade, et solve saccum de lumbis tuis, et calceamenta tua tolle de pedibus tuis. Et fecit sic vadens nudus, et discalceatus.

3 Yahweh said, “Just as my servant Isaiah has walked naked and barefoot for three years, it is a sign and an omen concerning Egypt and concerning Cush—

Et dixit Dominus: Sicut ambulavit servus meus Isaias nudus, et discalceatus, trium annorum signum et portentum erit super Ægyptum, et super Æthiopiam,

4 in this way the king of Assyria will lead away the captives of Egypt, and the exiles of Cush, young and old, naked and barefoot, and with buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.

sic minabit rex Assyriorum captivitatem Ægypti, et transmigrationem Æthiopiæ, iuvenum et senum, nudam et discalceatam, discoopertis natibus ad ignominiam Ægypti.

5 They will be dismayed and ashamed, because of Cush their hope and of Egypt their glory.

Et timebunt, et confundentur ab Æthiopia spe sua, et ab Ægypto gloria sua.

6 The inhabitants of these coasts will say on that day, 'Indeed, this was our source of hope, where we fled for help to be rescued from the king of Assyria, and now, how can we escape?'”

Et dicet habitator insulæ huius in die illa: Ecce hæc erat spes nostra, ad quos confugimus in auxilium, ut liberarent nos a facie regis Assyriorum: et quomodo effugere poterimus nos?
