1UJona samsilinga khulu isenzwesi bewabibhelana.

2Wathandaza uSomnini wathi: “Maye Somnini, akhange ngisole ngisesesenarheni yekhethu na? Kungebangeli-ke mina fengathoma ngokubalekela eTharatjhitjhi. Ngazile bona unguZimu onomusa nesirhawu, ubuthaka ekusilingekeni. Ukwethembeka kwakho kukhulu. UnguZimu oriyadako ukurhayila.

3Nje-ke Kosami, dumbana uthathe ipilwami; kungcono ngife kunobana ngiphile.”

4Kodwana uSomnini wamphendula wathi: “Unelungelo lokubibhelana na?”

5UJona waphuma ngedorobheni wayokuhlala ngepumalanga yalo, wazenzela umthunzi ngamatjhwaba lapho. Wahlala lapho wakha umkhanyo afuna ukubona bonyana kuzokwenzakalani ngedorobheli.

6USomnini uZimu waveza umrarela; bewakhula wanaba wenzela uJona umthunzi ukuze asithe ihlokwakhe. UJona wawuthabela khulu umrarela lowo.

7Kodwana kwathi ngomuso ngesamarimarima uSomnini waveza ipehli yadla umrarela lowo bewatjhwaba.

8Kwathi nakuphuma ilanga uZimu waletha ummoya otjhisako ovela ngepumalanga, ilanga lanemba uJona ehloko bewatsirimizeka. Wakhanukela ukufa wathi: “Kungcono ngife kunobana ngiphile.”

9Kodwana uZimu wathi kuJona: “Unelungelo lokubibhelana ngebanga lomrarela lo na?” UJona wathi: “Iye, nginelungelo lokubibhelana kangangoba kuthi angife.”

10USomnini wathi kuye: “Wena utshwenyeke ngomrarela lo; nanyana ungazange uwujulukele. Umile ngobusuku bunye begodu watjhabalala ngobusuku bunye.

11Alo-ke mina bengingakameli bonyana ngitshwenyekele iNiniva idorobho elikhulu kangaka elinabantu abangaphezu kweenkulungwana ezilikhulu namatjhumi amabili abangazi bonyana emuva kukuphi naphambili kukuphi, nefuyo enengi kangaka na?”
