Isaiah 20

1 In the year that Tartan entered Ashdod, when Sargon king of Assyria, sent him, —and he fought against Ashdod and captured it, —

In anno, quo ingressus est Thathan in Azotum, cum misisset eum Sargon rex Assyriorum, et pugnasset contra Azotum, et cepisset eam:

2 At that time, spake Yahweh, through Isaiah son of Amoz, saying, Go, and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins, And thy sandal, draw thou off from thy foot, —And he did so, walking disrobed and barefoot.

in tempore illo locutus est Dominus in manu Isaiæ filii Amos, dicens: Vade, et solve saccum de lumbis tuis, et calceamenta tua tolle de pedibus tuis. Et fecit sic vadens nudus, et discalceatus.

3 Then said Yahweh, —As my servant Isaiah, hath walked, disrobed and barefoot three years as a sign and a wonder against Egypt and against Ethiopia,

Et dixit Dominus: Sicut ambulavit servus meus Isaias nudus, et discalceatus, trium annorum signum et portentum erit super Ægyptum, et super Æthiopiam,

4 So, shall the king of Assyria lead away the captives of Egypt and the exiles of Ethiopia young and old disrobed and barefoot, with their persons behind Uncovered the shame of Egypt.

sic minabit rex Assyriorum captivitatem Ægypti, et transmigrationem Æthiopiæ, iuvenum et senum, nudam et discalceatam, discoopertis natibus ad ignominiam Ægypti.

5 Thus shall they be confounded and turn pale, —For Ethiopia, their expectation, and For Egypt their boast;

Et timebunt, et confundentur ab Æthiopia spe sua, et ab Ægypto gloria sua.

6 And the inhabitant of this shore, shall exclaim, in that day, Lo! such, is our expectation, whereunto we fled for help, that we might be delivered from the presence of the king of Assyria! How then shall, we, escape?

Et dicet habitator insulæ huius in die illa: Ecce hæc erat spes nostra, ad quos confugimus in auxilium, ut liberarent nos a facie regis Assyriorum: et quomodo effugere poterimus nos?
