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 Tartan came unto Ashdod, when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him, and he fought against Ashdod and took 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 that time the LORD spake by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go, and loose sackcloth from off thy loins, and put thy shoe from off 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, Like as my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and a wonder upon Egypt and upon Ethiopia;

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 captives of Egypt, and the exiles of Ethiopia, young and old, naked and barefoot, and with buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.

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

And they shall be dismayed and ashamed, because of Ethiopia their expectation, and of Egypt their glory.

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 coastland shall say in that day, Behold, such is our expectation, whither we fled for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria: and we, how shall we escape?
