1Kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kuYona, unyana ka-Amitayi, lisithi,

2Suk’ ume, uye eNineve, kuloo mzi mkhulu, ubulale ukumkani phezu kwawo; ngokuba ububi babo bunyuke phambi kwam.

3Wesuka ke uYona, ebalekela eTarshishe phambi koYehova, wehla waya eYafo; wafumana inqanawa esinge eTarshishe, wayihlawulela indlela yakhe, wangena kuyo ukuze abone iTarshishe, emke ebusweni bukaYehova.

4Ke uYehova wagalelekisa umoya omkhulu elwandle; kwabakho uqhwithela olukhulu elwandle, yaphuka inqanawa leyo.

5Baza boyika oomatiloshe baza ngamnye wabiza ngamnye kuthixo wakhe waza wayijulela elwandle impahla ebisenqanaweni ukuze kube lula kubo. uYona wehla waya ecaleni lomkhombe; walala phantsi.

6Weza ke kuye umthetheli-waka, wathi kuye, Uthini na wena, Rabhi? vuka, ubize uThixo wakho, ukuba usikhumbule uThixo wakho, ukuba singabhubhi.

7Bathi ke elowo kummelwane wakhe, Yizani, senze amaqashiso, sazi ukuba kungenxa yeni na ukuba sihlelwe bububi. Bawisa amaqashiso, iqashiso laphuma noYona.

8Bathi kuye, Sixelele ukuba sihlelwe ngubani na obu bubi; yintoni umsebenzi wakho kwaye ungowaphi? lithini ilizwe lakho kwaye ungowasiphi isizwe?

9Wathi kubo, NdingumHebhere; yaye ndiyamoyika uYehova uTHIXO wamazulu owenza ulwandle nomhlaba owomileyo.

10Oyika amadoda lawo ngoloyiko olukhulu, athi kuye, Yini na ukuba wenze le nto? Kuba loo madoda ayesazi isizathu sokuba abaleke ebusweni bukaYehova, kuba wayewaxelele.

11Athi kuye, Masenze ntoni na, ukuze ulwandle lusiyeke? ngokuba ulwandle belugubha, lwagubha.

12Wathi kuwo, Ndithabatheni, nindijulele elwandle; ngoko ke ulwandle luya kunizolisa, kuba ndiyazi ukuba esi sivuthuvuthu sinifikele, ngenxa yam.

13Atyhudisa emazeni amadoda, ezama ukuyibuyisela emhlabeni; akhohlwa, ngokuba ulwandle lwalusilwa, lusilwa phambi kwabo.

14Bathandaza kuYehova, bathi, Siyakuthandaza kuwe, Yehova, ukuba ungabhubhi ngomphefumlo wale ndoda, ungaphalazi igazi elimsulwa phezu kwethu; ngokuba, Yehova, wenze ngokuthanda kwakho.

15Ambamba ke uYona, amjulela elwandle, lwazola ulwandle.

16Andula ke loo madoda amoyika ngokugqithiseleyo uYehova aze azise uYehova umbingelelo aze enze izifungo.

17uYehova wathumela intlanzi enkulu ukuba imginye uYona. uYona wahlala embilinini wentlanzi iimini ezintathu nobusuku obuthathu.
