Isaiæ 20


font
VULGATANEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 In anno quo ingressus est Thathan in Azotum, cum misisset eum Sargon, rex Assyriorum, et pugnasset contra Azotum, et cepisset eam :1 In the year the general sent by Sargon, king of Assyria, fought against Ashdod and captured it,
2 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.2 the LORD gave a warning through Isaiah, the son of Amoz: Go and take off the sackcloth from your waist, and remove the sandals from your feet. This he did, walking naked and barefoot.
3 Et dixit Dominus : Sicut ambulavit servus meus Isaias nudus et discalceatus,
trium annorum signum et portentum erit
super Ægyptum et super Æthiopiam ;
3 Then the LORD said: Just as my servant Isaiah has gone naked and barefoot for three years as a sign and portent against Egypt and Ethiopia,
4 sic minabit rex Assyriorum captivitatem Ægypti,
et transmigrationem Æthiopiæ,
juvenum et senum, nudam et discalceatam, discoopertis natibus, ad ignominiam Ægypti.
4 so shall the king of Assyria lead away captives from Egypt, and exiles from Ethiopia, young and old, naked and barefoot, with buttocks uncovered (the shame of Egypt).
5 Et timebunt, et confundentur
ab Æthiopia spe sua,
et ab Ægypto gloria sua.
5 They shall be dismayed and ashamed because of Ethiopia, their hope, and because of Egypt, their boast.
6 Et dicet habitator insulæ hujus 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 ?
6 The inhabitants of this coastland shall say on that day, "Look at our hope! We have fled here for help and deliverance from the king of Assyria; where can we flee now?"
