2 (H20:1-2)Kun kolme vuotta oli kulunut, Assyrian kuninkaan Sargonin joukkojen ylipäällikkö marssi Asdodiin, piiritti kaupungin ja valloitti sen.

4 niin kuljettaa Assyrian kuningas sotavankeja Egyptistä ja pakkosiirtolaisia Nubiasta, nuoria ja vanhoja, alastomina, jalat ja pakarat paljaina. Egypti ilki alasti!

5 Kauhun ja häpeän valtaan joutuvat silloin myös ne, jotka ovat toiveikkaina katselleet Nubiaan ja ylpeilleet Egyptin ystävyydestä.

1 In the year of the coming in of Tartan to Ashdod, when Sargon king of Asshur sendeth him, and he fighteth against Ashdod, and captureth it,

2 at that time spake Jehovah by the hand of Isaiah son of Amoz, saying, `Go, and thou hast loosed the sackcloth from off thy loins, and thy sandal thou dost draw from off thy foot,` and he doth so, going naked and barefoot.

3 And Jehovah saith, `As My servant Isaiah hath gone naked and barefoot three years, a sign and a wonder for Egypt and for Cush,

4 so doth the king of Asshur lead the captivity of Egypt, and the removal of Cush, young and old, naked and barefoot, with seat uncovered -- the nakedness of Egypt;

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

6 and the inhabitant of this isle hath said in that day -- Lo, thus [is] our trust, Whither we have fled for help, To be delivered from the king of Asshur, And how do we escape -- we?`
