font
VULGATANEW JERUSALEM
1 In anno quo ingressus est Thathan in Azotum, cum misisset eum Sargon, rex Assyriorum, et pugnasset contra Azotum, et cepisset eam :1 The year the general-in-chief, sent by Sargon king of Assyria, came to Ashdod and stormed andcaptured 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 at that time Yahweh spoke through Isaiah son of Amoz and said, 'Go, undo the sackcloth round yourwaist and take the sandals off your feet.' And he did so, and walked about, 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 Yahweh then said, 'As my servant Isaiah has been walking about naked and barefoot for the last threeyears as a sign and portent for Egypt and Cush,
4 sic minabit rex Assyriorum captivitatem Ægypti,
et transmigrationem Æthiopiæ,
juvenum et senum, nudam et discalceatam, discoopertis natibus, ad ignominiam Ægypti.
4 so the king of Assyria wil lead the captives of Egypt and the exiles of Cush, young and old, naked andbarefoot, their buttocks bared, to the shame of Egypt.
5 Et timebunt, et confundentur
ab Æthiopia spe sua,
et ab Ægypto gloria sua.
5 Then they wil be afraid and ashamed of Cush their hope and Egypt their pride,
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 and the inhabitants of this coast will say on that day, "Look what has happened to our hope, to those towhom we fled for help, to escape from the king of Assyria. How are we going to escape?" '
