Isaiah 20

1 In the year of the coming in of Tartan to Ashdod, when Sargon king of Asshur sendeth him, and he fighteth against Ashdod, and captureth 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 spake Jehovah by the hand of Isaiah son of Amoz, saying, 'Go, and thou hast loosed the sackcloth from off thy loins, and thy sandal thou dost draw from off thy foot,' and he doth so, going 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 And Jehovah saith, 'As My servant Isaiah hath gone naked and barefoot three years, a sign and a wonder for Egypt and for Cush,

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

4 so doth the king of Asshur lead the captivity of Egypt, and the removal of Cush, young and old, naked and barefoot, with seat uncovered — the nakedness of Egypt;

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

5 and they have been affrighted and ashamed of Cush their confidence, and of Egypt their beauty,

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

6 and the inhabitant of this isle hath said in that day — Lo, thus [is] our trust, Whither we have fled for help, To be delivered from the king of Asshur, And how do we escape — we?'

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?
