1Ilizwi leN laselifika kuJona indodana kaAmithayi, lisithi:

2Sukuma, uye eNineve.

3Kodwa uJona wasukuma ukuze abalekele.

4Kodwa yaphosa umoya omkhulu elwandle.

5Abatshayeli bomkhumbi basebesesaba.

6Ngakho induna yomkhumbi yasondela kuye.

7Basebesithi, ngulowo kumngane wakhe: Wozani senze inkatho yokuphosa, ukuze sazi ukuthi kungenxa kabani lobububi buphezu kwethu. Basebesenza inkatho yokuphosa; inkatho yasiwela phezu kukaJona.

8Basebesithi kuye: Akusitshele ukuthi kungenxa kabani lobububi buphezu kwethu. Umsebenzi wakho uyini? Njalo uvela ngaphi? Yiliphi ilizwe lakini? Njalo ungowabaphi abantu?

9Wasesithi kibo: NgingumHebheru, ngiyayesaba iN KOSI.

10Amadoda asesesaba ngo kwesaba okukhulu, athi kuye: Ukwenzeleni lokhu? Ngoba amadoda akwazi ukuthi ubalekile ebusweni beN, ngoba wayesewatshelile.

11Asesithi kuye: Senzeni kuwe ukuze ulwandle luthule kithi? Ngoba ulwandle lwaqhubeka lwaba lesiphepho.

12Wasesithi kiwo: Ngiphakamisani, lingiphosele olwandle; ngalokho ulwandle luzalithulela; ngoba ngiyazi ukuthi lesisiphepho esikhulu siphezu kwenu ngenxa yami.

13Kodwa amadoda agwedla ngamandla ukuze awubuyisele umkhumbiemhlabathini owomileyo, kodwa ehluleka, ngoba ulwandle lwaqhubeka lwaba lesiphepho lumelene lawo.

14Ngakho akhala eNni, athi: Siyakuncenga, N KOSI.

15Asephakamisa uJona, amphosela elwandle; ulwandle lwaselusima ekuvubekeni kwalo.

16Amadoda aseyesaba ngo kwesaba okukhulu.

17Njalo yayimise inhlanzi enkulu ukuze imginye uJona.
