1 Ibi ni vyo Yesaya mwene Amozi yeretswe, vyerekeye ugutikizwa kwa Babiloni:

2 Nimushinge ibendera ku musozi muremure utagirako ibiti;

musemerere mubabwire;

mubahamagare

binjire mu marembo y’abanyacubahiro.

3 Jewe Uhoraho, ni je nategetse ingabo zanje,

zinezererwa icubahiro canje,

kugira ngo zishitse ivy’uburake bwanje.

4 Nimwumve urwamo ku misozi,

rumeze nk’urw’ingabo isinzi!

Nimwumve urwamo rw’ubwami,

rumeze nk’urw’amahanga ateranye!

Uhoraho Mushoboravyose ariko aragenzura ingabo,

nk’abasoda biteguriye intambara.

5 Baje bava mu bihugu vya kure,

iyo amajuru aherera.

Bazananye n’Uhoraho n’ibigwanisho vyiwe,

kugira ngo batikize igihugu cose.

6 Nimuboroge, kuko umusi w’Uhoraho uri hafi gushika.

Uzobashikira umeze nk’agatikizo karungitswe n’Iyishoboravyose.

7 Ivyo bizotuma amaboko y’ingabo zikomeye adendebukirwa,

umutima ukomeye na wo ucike ivutu.

8 Bazocika intege,

umubabaro n’uburibwe bizobafata,

baribwe nk’umugore ari ku bise.

Bazorabana mu maso bumirwe,

kandi mu maso habo hazohishira hase n’umuriro.

9 Ehe raba umusi w’Uhoraho urashitse,

umusi w’uburake bw’inkazi buteye ubwoba.

Azotikiza igihugu gicike ubugaragwa,

abanyavyaha bashirane na co.

10 Inyenyeri zo kw’ijuru

ntizizokwaka.

Izuba riserutse rizocura umwijima,

ukwezi ntikuzobonesha.

11 Ab’isi nzobahanira ibibi bakoze,

n’abagarariji ndabahanire ivyaha vyabo.

Abishira hejuru nzobamara ubwibone,

ncishe bugufi agasuzuguro k’abanyacubahiro.

12 Nzomara abantu, basigare bakenye kurya kw’inzahabu z’indobanurwa,

kandi abantu bazokena gusumvya inzahabu y’agaciro yo muri Ofiru.

13 Kuko nzotigitisha amajuru,

isi inyiganyige, ive mu kibanza cayo,

ndabikoreshejwe n’umujinya w’Uhoraho Mushoboravyose,

ku musi w’uburake bwiwe bw’inkazi.

14 Maze umuntu wese azosubira inyuma ahunga nk’ingeregere ihigwa,

canke intama itagira umwungere,

umwe wese asubire iwabo,

umwe wese ahungire mu gihugu ciwe.

15 Uwo bazobona wese azotoborwa n’umwampi,

kandi uwuzofatwa wese azosogotwa inkota.

16 Inzoya zabo bazozifyonyangira imbere yabo,

amazu yabo azosahurwa, abagore babo bafatwe ku nguvu.

17 Ehe raba nzobateza Abamedi,

batitaho ifeza,

batanezererwa inzahabu.

18 Imyampi yabo izotobekeranya abasore;

kandi inzoya ntibazozigirira akagongwe,

canke ngo bagirire impuhwe abana.

19 Babiloni, mu cubahiro c’ubwami bw’amahanga,

ubwiza bw’ubwibone bw’Abakaludaya,

nzohatikiza,

nk’uko natikije Sodomu na Gomora.

20 Nta bantu bazosubira kuhaba,

kandi nta wuzosubira kuhubaka uko urunganwe ruzogenda rurakurikirana.

Abungere bama bimuka ntibazosubira kuhashinga ihema,

nta n’umwungere azosubira kuharagira.

21 Ariko ibikoko vyo mu bugaragwa ni vyo bizohaba,

imbwebwe ni zo zizokwuzura mu mazu yaho;

ibihuna ni vyo bizoba mu mazu yaho,

kandi impene z’inyeshamba ni zo zizohakinira.

22 Imfyisi zizogerera mu mazu maninimanini yaho,

imbwebwe zibere mu mazu mezameza yaho.

Igihe caho kirageze,

umusi waho ntuzoteba gushika.
