Isaiah 20

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

In the year that Tartan came unto Ashdod, (when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him,) and fought against Ashdod, and took it;

فِي ذلِكَ الْوَقْتِ تَكَلَّمَ الرَّبُّ عَنْ يَدِ إِشَعْيَاءَ بْنِ آمُوصَ قَائِلاً: «اِذْهَبْ وَحُلَّ الْمِسْحَ عَنْ حَقْوَيْكَ وَاخْلَعْ حِذَاءَكَ عَنْ رِجْلَيْكَ». فَفَعَلَ هكَذَا وَمَشَى مُعَرًّى وَحَافِيًا.

At the same time spake the LORD by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins, and put off thy shoe from thy foot. And he did so, walking naked and barefoot.

فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ: «كَمَا مَشَى عَبْدِي إِشَعْيَاءُ مُعَرًّى وَحَافِيًا ثَلاَثَ سِنِينٍ، آيَةً وَأُعْجُوبَةً عَلَى مِصْرَ وَعَلَى كُوشَ،

And the LORD said, Like as my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and wonder upon Egypt and upon Ethiopia;

هكَذَا يَسُوقُ مَلِكُ أَشُّورَ سَبْيَ مِصْرَ وَجَلاَءَ كُوشَ، الْفِتْيَانَ وَالشُّيُوخَ، عُرَاةً وَحُفَاةً وَمَكْشُوفِي الأَسْتَاهِ خِزْيًا لِمِصْرَ.

So shall the king of Assyria lead away the Egyptians prisoners, and the Ethiopians captives, young and old, naked and barefoot, even with their buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.

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

And they shall be afraid and ashamed of Ethiopia their expectation, and of Egypt their glory.

وَيَقُولُ سَاكِنُ هذَا السَّاحِلِ فِي ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ: هُوَذَا هكَذَا مَلْجَأُنَا الَّذِي هَرَبْنَا إِلَيْهِ لِلْمَعُونَةِ لِنَنْجُو مِنْ مَلِكِ أَشُّورَ، فَكَيْفَ نَسْلَمُ نَحْنُ؟».

And the inhabitant of this isle shall say in that day, Behold, such is our expectation, whither we flee for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria: and how shall we escape?
