إِشَعْيَاءَ 20

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

In the year when Tanathan came to Azotus, when he was sent by Arna king of the Assyrians, and warred against Azotus, and took 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.

then the Lord spoke to Esaias the son of Amos, saying, Go and take the sackcloth off thy loins, and loose thy sandals from off thy feet, and do thus, going naked and barefoot.

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

And the Lord said, As my servant Esaias has walked naked and barefoot three years, there shall be three years for signs and wonders to the Egyptians and Ethiopians;

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

for thus shall the king of the Assyrians lead the captivity of Egypt and the Ethiopians, young men and old, naked and barefoot, having the shame of Egypt exposed.

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

And the Egyptians being defeated shall be ashamed of the Ethiopians, in whom they had trusted; for they were their glory.

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

And they that dwell in this island shall say in that day, Behold, we trusted to flee to them for help, who could not save themselves from the king of the Assyrians: and how shall we be saved?
