1Lafika ilizwi likaYehova kuYona okwesibini, lisithi,

2Suk’ ume, uye eNineve, kuloo mzi mkhulu, umemeze ilizwi endikuwisela umthetho ngako.

3Wesuka ke uYona, waya eNineve ngokwelizwi likaYehova. Yaye iNineve yayisisixeko esikhulu kakhulu, esinohambo lweentsuku ezintathu.

4uYona waqala wangena kuwo umzi, uhambo losuku olunye, wadanduluka esithi, Zisaya kuba ziintsuku ezimashumi mane, iNineve iwile.

5Abantu baseNineve bakholwa kuThixo, bawubhengeza umhla wozila ukudla, bambatha iingubo ezimnyama, bethabathela komkhulu besa kwabancinane bawo.

6Lafika ilizwi elo kukumkani waseNineve, wayishiya itrone yakhe, wayikhulula ingubo yakhe enkulu, wazigquma ngezirhwexayo, wahlala eluthuthwini.

7Wayixela, waza wayizisa iNineve ngokomyalelo kakumkani nabalungiseleli bakhe, esithi: “Makungabikho mntu nasilwanyana sasekhaya, okanye nkomo okanye gusha, engangcanga nto; ungadli, ungaseli manzi.

8Mabambathe iingubo ezimnyama umntu nenkomo, akhale kuThixo ngamandla; ewe, makabuye elowo endleleni yakhe embi, nakugonyamelo olusezandleni zakhe.

9Ngubani na owaziyo ukuba uThixo angazohlwaya, abuye, abuye emsindweni wakhe, ukuze singabhubhi?

10uThixo wazibona izenzo zabo, ukuba babuyile ezindleleni zabo; uThixo wabenza ububi, abethe uya kubenza kubo; akayenza.
