Intaba Yendlu KaSimakade

1Indaba eyabonwa ngu-Izaya, indodana ka-Amozi, maqondana noJuda neJerusalema.

2Kuyothi ngezinsuku zokugcina,

intaba yendlu kaSimakade

imiswe njengephakeme kunezintaba,

iphakame kunamagquma;

zonke izizwe ziyakugobhozela kuyo.

3Abantu abaningi bayofika, bathi:

“Wozani senyukele entabeni kaSimakade,

endlini kaNkulunkulu kaJakobe,

ukuze asifundise izindlela zakhe,

sihambe emikhondweni yakhe,”

ngokuba umthetho uyakuphuma eZiyoni,

nezwi likaSimakade, eJerusalema.

4Uyokwehlulela phakathi kwezizwe,

axazulule imibango yezizwe eziningi.

Ziyocangcatha izinkemba zazo zibe ngamageja,

nemikhonto yazo ibe ngocelemba.

Isizwe asiyukuphakamisela esinye inkemba,

zingabe zisaviviselwa ukulwa.

5Wena ndlu kaJakobe,

woza sihambe ekukhanyeni kukaSimakade.
