Ukusola kukaJona lesihawu sikaNkulunkulu

1 Kodwa kwaba kubi kakhulukazi kuJona ^a, wathukuthela yena ^b. 2 Wasekhuleka eNkosini, wathi: Ngiyakuncenga, Nkosi, leli lalingesilo ilizwi lami ngiseselizweni lakithi yini? Ngenxa yalokhu ngandulela ngokubalekela eTarshishi ^c; ngoba ngangisazi ukuthi wena unguNkulunkulu olomusa ^d lolesihawu ^{e
,} ^f, ophuza ukuthukuthela ^g, omkhulu ngothando, njalo ozisola ngokubi ^h. 3 Ngakho-ke, Nkosi, susa, ngiyakuncenga, impilo yami kimi ⁱ, ngoba kungcono kimi ukufa kulokuphila ^j.

4 INkosi yasisithi: Wenza kuhle yini ngokuthukuthela kwakho?

5 UJona wasephuma emzini, wahlala ngasempumalanga komuzi, wazenzela idumba khona, wahlala ngaphansi kwalo emthunzini, aze abone okuzakwenzakala kuwo umuzi ^k. 6 INkosi uNkulunkulu ^l yasimisa umhlafutho, yawukhulisa ngaphezu kukaJona, ukuze ube ngumthunzi phezu kwekhanda lakhe, ukumkhulula ^m kubuhlungu bakhe ⁿ. UJona wasethokoza ngenxa yomhlafutho ngentokozo enkulu. 7 Kodwa uNkulunkulu wamisa impehlane ekuveleni kokusa kusisa, yatshaya umhlafutho, waze wabuna ^o. 8 Kwasekusithi ekuphumeni kwelanga, uNkulunkulu wamisa umoya wempumalanga ^p otshisayo ^q; njalo ilanga latshaya phezu kwekhanda likaJona ^r, waze waphela amandla; wafisa emphefumulweni wakhe ukuthi afe ^s, wathi: Kungcono kimi ukufa kulokuphila ^t.

9 UNkulunkulu wasesithi kuJona: Wenza kuhle yini ngokuthukuthela kwakho ngenxa yomhlafutho? Wasesithi: Ngenza kuhle ngokuthukuthela kwami kuze kube sekufeni ^u. 10 INkosi yasisithi: Wena ube lozwelo phezu komhlafutho ongawutshikatshikelanga, ongawukhulisanga; owaba khona ngobusuku bunye, wabhubha ngobusuku bunye. 11 Mina-ke ngabe kangihawukeli yini iNineve ^v, umuzi omkhulu, okuthi kuwo kulabantu abedlula izinkulungwane ezilikhulu lamatshumi amabili abangaziyo ukwehlukanisa phakathi kwesandla sabo sokunene lesandla sabo sokhohlo ^w, kanye lenkomo ezinengi ^x?
