1Ilizwi lakaSomnini lafika kuJona kwesibili lathi:

2“Khuphuka uye edorobheni elikhulu iNiniva ufese ubakhalime ngamezwi engikuthume wona.”

3UJona wakhuphuka waya eNiniva njengokutjho kwelizwi lakaSomnini. INiniva begade kulidorobho elikhulu kwamambala, bekuthatha amalanga amathathu ukulizombeleza.

4UJona kwamthatha ikhambo lelanga ukuqangula ngaphakathi kwedorobho. Wabika wathi: “Kusele amatjhumi amane wamalanga bonyana iNiniva irhayilwe.”

5Amadoda weNiniva akholwa kuZimu. Abeka ilanga lokuzila ukudla kusukela komkhulu kuya komncani, embatha iinzilo.

6Ikosi yeNiniva yathi ingezwa iindabezi, yasikima esihlalweni sayo, yahlubula iingubo zayo zobukhosi, yazibhibha ngomgodla yahlala phasi ebhudwini.

7Yakhupha umbiko eNiniva yathi: “Umyalo ovela ekosini neenduneni zayo uthi: Kungabi nomuntu ogomako noselako, ifuyo ekulu nencani nayo ingadliswa begodu ingasezwa amanzi.

8Abantu bazibhibhe ngemigodla kanye nefuywabo. Ababize uZimu ngamandla. Omunye nomunye atjhiye iindlela zakhe zobukhohlakali nenturhu esezandleni zakhe. Ngombana ngubani owaziko,

9mhlamunye uZimu angazisola ebukhalini bakhe asirhawukele ukuze singabhubhi.”

10UZimu wabona izenzo zabo, nangendlela baphenduke ngayo ebukhohlakalini babo, wabarhawukela azange asababhubhisa njengombana agade atjhwile.
