إِشَعْيَاءَ 20

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

In the year when Sargon, king of Assyria, sent his army commander to attack the town of Ashdod and conquered 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.

at that time the Lord spoke through Isaiah, son of Amoz. He told him, “Take off the sackcloth clothes from your body and remove your sandals.” Isaiah did so and went 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, “In the same way that my servant Isaiah has gone naked and barefoot for three years as a sign and a warning against Egypt and Ethiopia,

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

so shall the king of Assyria lead the Egyptian prisoners and the Ethiopian exiles, both young and old, naked and barefoot. Their buttocks will be bare, to Egypt's shame.

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

They will be discouraged and humiliated because they had put their hope in Ethiopia and proudly trusted in Egypt.

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

At that time the people living in the coastal lands will say, ‘Look what has happened those we were depending on! We ran to them for help to save us from the king of Assyria. We don't stand a chance!’”
