إِشَعْيَاءَ 20

١ 1 فِي سَنَةِ مَجِيءِ تَرْتَانَ إِلَى أَشْدُودَ، حِينَ أَرْسَلَهُ سَرْجُونُ مَلِكُ أَشُّورَ فَحَارَبَ أَشْدُودَ وَأَخَذَهَا،

Before the year that the chief commander, sent by Sargon king of Assyria, came to Ashdod and attacked and captured it,

٢ 2 فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ تَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَنْ يَدِ إِشَعْيَاءَ بْنِ آمُوصَ قَائِلًا: «اِذْهَبْ وَحُلَّ ٱلْمِسْحَ عَنْ حَقْوَيْكَ وَٱخْلَعْ حِذَاءَكَ عَنْ رِجْلَيْكَ». فَفَعَلَ هَكَذَا وَمَشَى مُعَرًّى وَحَافِيًا.

the LORD had already spoken through Isaiah son of Amoz, saying, “Go, remove the sackcloth from your waist and the sandals from your feet.” And Isaiah did so, walking around naked and barefoot.

٣ 3 فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «كَمَا مَشَى عَبْدِي إِشَعْيَاءُ مُعَرًّى وَحَافِيًا ثَلَاثَ سِنِينٍ، آيَةً وَأُعْجُوبَةً عَلَى مِصْرَ وَعَلَى كُوشَ،

Then the LORD said, “Just as My servant Isaiah has gone naked and barefoot for three years as a sign and omen against Egypt and Cush,

٤ 4 هَكَذَا يَسُوقُ مَلِكُ أَشُّورَ سَبْيَ مِصْرَ وَجَلَاءَ كُوشَ، ٱلْفِتْيَانَ وَٱلشُّيُوخَ، عُرَاةً وَحُفَاةً وَمَكْشُوفِي ٱلْأَسْتَاهِ خِزْيًا لِمِصْرَ.

so the king of Assyria will lead away the captives of Egypt and the exiles of Cush, young and old alike, naked and barefoot, with bared buttocks—to Egypt’s shame.

٥ 5 فَيَرْتَاعُونَ وَيَخْجَلُونَ مِنْ أَجْلِ كُوشَ رَجَائِهِمْ، وَمِنْ أَجْلِ مِصْرَ فَخْرِهِمْ.

Those who made Cush their hope and Egypt their boast will be dismayed and ashamed.

٦ 6 وَيَقُولُ سَاكِنُ هَذَا ٱلسَّاحِلِ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ: هُوَذَا هَكَذَا مَلْجَأُنَا ٱلَّذِي هَرَبْنَا إِلَيْهِ لِلْمَعُونَةِ لِنَنْجُو مِنْ مَلِكِ أَشُّورَ، فَكَيْفَ نَسْلَمُ نَحْنُ؟».

And on that day the dwellers of this coastland will say, ‘See what has happened to our source of hope, those to whom we fled for help and deliverance from the king of Assyria! How then can we escape?’”
