1Kwamkhuba kakhulu loko Jona, ngako watfukutsela kakhulu.

2Wathandaza kuSimakadze watsi: “Awu, Simakadze! Akusiko yini loku lengakusho ngiseseveni lakitsi kutsi kutakwenteka? Ngiko ngabaleka ngaya eThashishi; ngobe ngangati kutsi wena unguNkulunkulu lonemusa nesihawu, uyephuta kutfukutsela, unelutsandvo loluphuphumako, uyatisola ngekutfumela lokubi.

3Ngako-ke Simakadze, ngiyakuncenga kutsi ukususe kuphila kwami kimi; ngobe kuncono kimi kutsi ngife kunekutsi ngiphile.”

4Simakadze wamphendvula watsi: “Unalungelo lini lekutfukutsela?”

5Jona waphuma kulelidolobha wayawuhlala ngasemphumalanga yalo, watentela lidlangala lapho. Wahlala emtfuntini ngaphansi kwalo, kute atewubona lokwase kutakwenteka kulelidolobha laseNineve.

6Simakadze Nkulunkulu wamilisa umhlafutfo, wawukhulisa etikwaJona kutsi umentele umtfunti, kuze kuphele kutfukutsela kwakhe; Jona wamjabulisa lomhlafutfo.

7Ngakusasa nakudzabuka kusa, Nkulunkulu walungisa imphehla, yawuphehla lomhlafutfo, wabuna.

8Nakuphuma lilanga, Nkulunkulu walungisa umoya loshisako wasemphumalanga; lilanga lashaya enhloko yaJona, wadzimate waba nesiyeti, wafisa kufa; wase utsi: “Kuncono ngimane ngife kunekutsi ngiphile.”

9Kodvwa Nkulunkulu watsi kuJona: “Unalungelo lini lekutfukutselela lomhlafutfo?” Yena-ke watsi: “Ngenta kahle kutsi ngitfukutsele; ngitfukutsele kutsi angife ngitsi saka!”

10Simakadze watsi: “Wena uyawuhawukela umhlafutfo longakawujulukeli nome longakawukhulisi, lomile ebusuku bunye, waphindze wafa ebusuku lobulandzelako.

11Pho, mine bengingeke ngiyihawukele yini iNineve, lelidolobha lelikhulu kangaka, lapho kukhona bantfu labangakwati kwehlukanisa sandla sabo sekudla nesancele, labati-120 000, kanye netinkhomo letinyenti kangaka?”
