| [1]In the yeer wherynne Tharthan entride in to Azotus, whanne Sargon, the kyng of Assiriens, hadde sent hym, and he hadde fouyte ayens Azotus, and hadde take it; |
[1]In the year that Tartan came to Ashdod, (when Sargon king of Asshur [Assyria] sent him) and had fought against Ashdod, and taken it, |
| [2]in that tyme the Lord spak in the hond of Isaye, the sone of Amos, and seide, Go thou, and vnbynde the sak fro thi leendis, and take awei thi schoon fro thi feet. And he dide so, goynge nakid and vnschood. |
[2]At the same time spake the Lord by the hand of Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go, and loose the sackcloth from thy loins, and put off thy shoe from thy foot. And he did so, walking naked and barefoot. |
| [3]And the Lord seide, As my seruaunt Ysaie yede nakid and vnschood, a signe and greet wondur of thre yeer schal be on Egipt, and on Ethiopie; |
[3]And the Lord said, Like as my servant Isaiah hath walked naked, and barefoot three years, as a sign and wonder upon Egypt, and Ethiopia, |
| [4]so the kyng of Assiriens schal dryue the caitifte of Egipt, and the passyng ouer of Ethiopie, a yong man and an eld man, nakid and vnschood, with the buttokis vnhilid, to the schenschipe of Egipt. |
[4]So shall the king of Asshur [Assyria] take away the captivity of Egypt, and the captivity of Ethiopia, both young men and old men, naked and barefoot, with their buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt. |
| [5]And thei schulen drede, and schulen be schent of Ethiopie, her hope, and of Egipt, her glorie. |
[5]And they shall fear, and be ashamed of Ethiopia their expectation, and of Egypt their glory. |
| [6]And a dwellere of this ile schal seie in that dai, This was our hope, to which we fledden for help, that thei schulden delyuere vs fro the face of the kyng of Assiryens; and hou moun we ascape? |
[6]Then shall the inhabitant of this isle say in that day, Behold, such is our expectation, whither we fled for help to be delivered from the king of Asshur [Assyria], and how shall we be delivered? |
