UJona 1
UJona uya eNineve
1Izwi likaJehova lafika kuJona indodana ka-Amithayi, lathi:
2Suka uye eNineve, umuzi omkhulu, umemeze ngawo; ngoba ububi babo bukhuphukele phambi kwami.
3Kepha uJona wasuka ukuba abalekele eTharishishi ebusweni bukaJehova, wehlela eJopha; wathola umkhumbi owawuya eTharishishi, wakhokha imali yokugibela, wangena kuwo, ukuze ahambe nawo, aye eTharishishi, asuke ebusweni bukaJehova.
4Kodwa uJehova wathumela umoya omkhulu elwandle, kwavela isiphepho esikhulu elwandle, umkhumbi waze waphuka.
5Khona-ke amatilosi esaba futhi abiza yilowo nalowo kunkulunkulu wakhe futhi aphonsa olwandle impahla eyayisemkhunjini ukuze enze kube lula kuwo. Kepha uJona wehlela ezinhlangothini zomkhumbi; walala ubuthongo.
6Induna yasondela kuye, yathi kuye: “Uthini wena olele ubuthongo na?” sukuma, ubize uNkulunkulu wakho, uma uNkulunkulu esikhumbula, ukuze singalahleki.
7Basebesithi, ngulowo kumngane wakhe: Wozani senze inkatho, ukuze sazi ukuthi kungenxa kabani lobu bubi buphezu kwethu. Benza inkatho, inkatho yawela uJona.
8Base bethi kuye: “Sitshele ukuthi kungenxa kabani lobu bubi buphezu kwethu; uyini umsebenzi wakho futhi uvelaphi? iliphi izwe lakini ungowasiphi isizwe?
9Wathi kubo: “NgingumHeberu; ngiyamesaba uJehova uNkulunkulu wezulu, owenza ulwandle nomhlabathi owomileyo.
10Khona-ke amadoda esaba kakhulu athi kuye: “Ukwenzeleni lokhu? Ngokuba amadoda azi ukuthi ubalekile ebusweni bukaJehova, ngokuba wayeshilo kuwo.
11Base bethi kuye: “Sikwenzeni kuwe, ukuze ulwandle luthule kithi na?” ngoba ulwandle lwalugeleza futhi lugubha.
12Wathi kubo: “Ngiphakamiseni, ningiphonse olwandle; ukuze ulwandle luzole kini, ngokuba ngiyazi ukuthi lesi siphepho esikhulu siphezu kwenu ngenxa Yami.
13Kodwa amadoda agwedla ngamandla ukuyibuyisela emhlabathini; kepha behluleka, ngokuba ulwandle lwase luvunguzela, lubavunguzela.
14Base bebiza uJehova, bathi: “Siyakuncenga, Jehova, ukuba ungabhubhi ngenxa yokuphila kwalo muntu, ungachithi igazi elingenacala phezu kwethu; ngoba wena Jehova wenzile okuhle emehlweni akho.
15Basebemfukula uJona bamjikijela elwandle, ulwandle lwathula ekuthukutheleni kwalo.
16Amadoda ayesesaba uJehova ngokwesaba okukhulu, aletha umhlatshelo kuJehova, enza izithembiso.
17UJehova walungisa inhlanzi enkulu ukuba imginye uJona. UJona wayesesiswini senhlanzi izinsuku ezintathu nobusuku obuthathu.
