Isaiah 20 — English–Hebrew Parallel

1 In the shanah (year) that tharathan (tartan) bawaa (bring) to Ashadawad (Ashdod), when Saragawan (Sargon) the malak (king) of Ashawar (Assyria) shalach (send) him, and he lacham (fought) against Ashadawad (Ashdod) and lakad (took) it;

2 At that ith (time) Yahawah () dabar (word / matter) by Yashaiyah (Isaiah) the ban (son) of Amawatz (Amoz), amar (spoke), “yalak (go), and loosen the sackcloth from off your waist, and take your nail (shoes) from off your ragal (feet / foot).” He ishah (make) so, halak (move) irawam (naked) and yachap (barefoot).

3 Yahawah () amar (spoke), “As my ibad (servant) Yashaiyah (Isaiah) has halak (move) irawam (naked) and yachap (barefoot) shalawash (three) shanayam (years) for a awath (sign / mark / miracle) and a mawapath (wonder) concerning Matzarayam (Egypt) and concerning Kawash (Ethiopia),

4 So the malak (king) of Ashawar (Assyria) will nahag (lead) away the shabay (captives) of Matzarayam (Matzarayam / Egypt) and the exiles of Kawash (Ethiopia), nair (young) and zaqan (old), irawam (naked) and yachap (barefoot), and with shathah (drinks) chashap (uncovered), to the irawah (shame) of Matzarayam (Matzarayam / Egypt).

5 They will be chathath (dismayed) and bawash (confounded), because of Kawash (Ethiopia) their mabat (expectation), and of Matzarayam (Matzarayam / Egypt) their glory.

6 The yashab (inhabit/dwell) of this coast ay (land) will amar (said) in that yawam (day), ‘Behold, kah (this) is our mabat (expectation), where we nawas (fled) for izarah (help) to be natzal (delivered) from the malak (king) of Ashawar (Assyria). And we, how will we malat (escape)?’”
