Isaiæ 20

1 in anno quo ingressus est Tharthan in Azotum cum misisset eum Sargon rex Assyriorum et pugnasset contra Azotum et cepisset eam

In the year that Tharthan came unto Ashdod, when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him, and fought against Ashdod, and captured it;

2 in tempore illo locutus est Dominus in manu Isaiae filii Amos dicens vade et solve saccum de lumbis tuis et calciamenta tua tolle de pedibus tuis et fecit sic vadens nudus et disculciatus

At the same time spoke the Lord by means of Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go and loosen the sackcloth from off thy loins, and thy shoe shalt thou pull off from thy foot. And he did so, walking naked and barefoot.

3 et dixit Dominus sicut ambulavit servus meus Isaias nudus et disculciatus trium annorum signum et portentum erit super Aegyptum et super Aethiopiam

And the Lord said, Just as my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and barefoot three years as a sign and token for Egypt and for Cush:

4 sic minabit rex Assyriorum captivitatem Aegypti et transmigrationem Aethiopiae iuvenum et senum nudam et disculciatam discopertis natibus ignominiam Aegypti

So shall the king of Assyria lead away the prisoners of Egypt, and the exiles of Cush, young and old, naked and barefoot, even with uncovered buttocks, to the disgrace of Egypt.

5 et timebunt et confundentur ab Aethiopia spe sua et ab Aegypto gloria sua

And they shall be terrified, and ashamed of Cush their trust, and of Egypt their vaunt.

6 et dicet habitator insulae huius in die illa ecce haec erat spes nostra ad quos confugimus in auxilium ut liberaret nos a facie regis Assyriorum et quomodo effugere poterimus nos

And the inhabitant of this isle shall say on that day, Behold, such is our trust, whither we fled for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria: and how shall we then escape?
