1. Umbono ka-Isaya, indodana ka-Amose, awubonayo ngoJuda neJerusalema emihleni ka-Uziya, noJothamu, no-Ahazi, noHezekiya, amakhosi akwaJuda.
2. Yizwani, mazulu,ubeke indlebe, mhlaba,ngokuba uJehova ukhuluma uthi:“Ngikhulisile ngiphakamisile abantwana,kepha bangihlubukile.
3. Inkabi iyamazi umniniyonembongolo umkhombe womnikaziyo;u-Israyeli akazi,isizwe sami asiqondi.”
4. Hawu, sizwe esonayo,bantu abasindwe ngububi,nzalo yababi,bantwana abonakeleyo!Bamshiyile uJehova,bamdelele oNgcwele ka-Israyeli,babuyele emuva.
5. Ningabe nisashaywa kuphi,nisaqhubeka ukwambuka, na?Lonke ikhanda liyagula,nayo yonke inhliziyo ibuthakathaka.
6. Kusukela ematheni onyawo kuze kube sekhandaakukho okuphelele, ngamanxeba nje,nemivimbo, nemidwa emisha;akukhanywanga ubovu, akuboshwanga,akuthanjiswanga ngamafutha.
7. Izwe lakini liyihlane,imizi yenu ishisiwe ngomlilo,umhlabathi wenu udliwa ngabafokazi phambi kwenu,kuyihlane njengokuchitha kwabafokazi.
8. Indodakazi yaseSiyoni isele njengexhiba esivinini,nanjengedladla ensimini yamaselwa,nanjengomuzi ovinjezelweyo.
