Isaiæ 20

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

In the year of the coming in of Tartan to Ashdod, when Sargon king of Asshur sends him, and he fights against Ashdod and captures it,

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

at that time YHWH spoke by the hand of Isaiah son of Amoz, saying, “Go, and you have loosed the sackcloth from off your loins, and you draw your sandal from off your foot,” and he does so, going naked and barefoot.

3 Et dixit Dominus: Sicut ambulavit servus meus Isaias nudus, et discalceatus, trium annorum signum et portentum erit super Aegyptum, et super Aethiopiam,

And YHWH says, “As My servant Isaiah has gone naked and barefoot three years, a sign and a wonder for Egypt and for Cush,

4 sic minabit rex Assyriorum captivitatem Aegypti, et transmigrationem Aethiopiae, iuvenem et senem, nudam et discalceatam, discoopertis natibus ad ignominiam Aegypti.

so the king of Asshur leads the captivity of Egypt, and the expulsion of Cush, young and old, naked and barefoot, with seat uncovered—the nakedness of Egypt;

5 Et timebunt, et confundentur ab Aethiopia spe sua, et ab Aegypto gloria sua.

and they have been frightened and ashamed of Cush their confidence, and of Egypt their beauty,

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

and the inhabitant of this island has said in that day—Behold, thus [is] our trust, To where we have fled for help, To be delivered from the king of Asshur, And how do we escape—we?”
