UJona 3 UJona umemeza abantu baseNineve

¹ Izwi likaJehova lafika kuJona ngokwesibili, lathi:

² Suka uye eNineve, idolobha elikhulu, ushumayele ivangeli engikuyala ngalo.

³ UJona wayesesuka waya eNineve njengezwi likaJehova. INineve laliwumuzi omkhulu kakhulu, uhambo lwezinsuku ezintathu.

⁴ UJona waqala ukungena emzini, uhambo losuku, wamemeza wathi: Kusezakuba yizinsuku ezingamashumi amane, beselichithwa iNineve.

⁵ Abantu baseNineve basebekholwa kuNkulunkulu, basebememezela usuku lokuzila, bembatha izembatho zokulila, kusukela komkhulu kusiya komncinyane phakathi kwabo.

⁶ Ngokuba izwi lafika enkosini yaseNineve, yasukuma esihlalweni sayo sobukhosi, yakhumula ingubo yayo kuyo, yembathisa indwangu yamasaka, yahlala phansi emlotheni.

⁷ Yasimemezela, yenza ukuba kwaziwe eNineve ngomyalo wenkosi nezikhulu zayo, yathi: Makungabikho muntu nasilwane esinambitha utho; ungawavumeli adle, angaphuzi manzi.

⁸ Kepha umuntu nezilwane makubembeswe izingubo zokulila, kukhale kuNkulunkulu ngamandla; yebo, mababuye, kube yilowo nalowo endleleni yakhe embi nasebudloveni obusezandleni zabo.

⁹ Ubani ongazi uma uNkulunkulu eyophenduka futhi aphenduke futhi abuye olakeni lwakhe, ukuze singabhubhi?

¹⁰ UNkulunkulu wabona izenzo zabo, ukuthi baphenduka endleleni yabo embi; uNkulunkulu wazisola ngobubi abethi uyakubenza kubo; futhi akakwenzanga.
