1 Ndipo Yehova anayankhula ndi Yona kachiwiri kuti,
Anante Ra Anumzamo'a mago'ene Jonana anage huno asami'ne,
2 “Nyamuka, pita ku mzinda waukulu wa Ninive ndipo ukalalikire uthenga umene ndikupatsa.”
Mensintfa otinka, tusi'a kumate Ninive vunka, Nagrama kasmisua nanekea vahera ome zamasamio.
3 Yona anamvera mawu a Yehova ndipo anapita ku Ninive. Tsono Ninive unali mzinda waukulu kwambiri; wofunika masiku atatu kuwudutsa.
Anage higeno, Jona'a otino Ra Anumzamo'ma asamia kante anteno Ninive vu'ne. Ninive kumara tusi'a ranku'ma me'negeno ana kumapina tagufa zagegna rukitagi'za mago atuparega kana nevaze.
4 Yona analowa mu mzindawo, nayenda ulendo wa tsiku limodzi. Iye ankalalikira kuti, “Atsala masiku makumi anayi kuti Ninive awonongedwe.”
Jona'a ana kumapi agafa huno, magoke zagegnafi vuno, agra kezatino anage hu'ne, 40'a zagegna evanigeno Ninive kumamo'a haviza hugahie.
5 Anthu a ku Ninive anakhulupirira Mulungu. Analengeza kuti aliyense, wamkulu ndi wamngʼono yemwe asale zakudya ndipo avale chiguduli.
Anante Ninive vahe'mo'za Anumzamofo kere zamentinti nehu'za, zamagra ne'zana a'o nehu'za, ranteti vuno osite'ma vu'nea vahe'mo'za zamasunku kukena (sek klos) eri hankre'naze. (Mat 12:41, Luk 11:31-32.)
6 Mfumu ya ku Ninive itamva nkhaniyi, inatsika pa mpando wake waufumu, nivula mkanjo wake waufumu ndipo inavala chiguduli ndi kukhala pansi pa fumbi.
Ana nanekemo'ma Ninive kini nete'ma uhanatigeno'a, kini tratetira otiazamo, kini kukena'a atova hutreno, asunku kukena erino antaniteno, ta'nefapi mani'ne.
7 Tsono mfumuyo inalengeza mu Ninive kuti, “Mwa lamulo lochokera kwa mfumu ndi akalonga ake: “Munthu aliyense kapenanso nyama, ngʼombe kapena nkhosa, zisadye kanthu kalikonse; musazilole kuti zidye kapena kumwa.
Anante kinine, kagota eri'za naga'ane amage'ma antesaza naneke atrageno ran kumapi vahe'zagare vuno eno higeno, kinimo'a huno magore hunka kagro, zagagafaka'a, atregeno ne'zane, tinena one'tfa hino, huno hu'ne.
8 Koma anthu avale ziguduli, ndipo nyamanso aziveke ziguduli. Munthu aliyense azifuwula kwa Mulungu ndi mphamvu zake zonse. Anthuwo asiye makhalidwe awo oyipa ndi machitidwe achiwawa.
Mago mago'moka kasunku kenage eri nehunka, hagi ana zanke hunka zagagafaka'a asunku kukena eri hunto. Kagranena Anumzantega kagu'areti hunka nunamuna nehunka, kumi hu'zane, ha' fra huno vahe azeri haviza hu'zana atreho.
9 Angadziwe ndani? Mwina Mulungu nʼkutikhululukira ndipo mwa chifundo chake nʼkuleka kutikwiyira, ifeyo osawonongedwa.”
Ontahi'none, Anumzamo'a nentahino asuragi ranteno Agra'a rimpa ahe'zana atresigeta ofri manigahune.
10 Mulungu ataona zimene anthuwo anachita, ndi mmene anasiyira makhalidwe awo oyipa, anawachitira chifundo ndipo sanabweretse chiwonongeko chimene anawaopseza nacho.
Kefo avu'ava zama nehaza zama atre'za zamagu'a rukrahe hazageno, Anumzamo'a negeno, Agra asunku huzmanteno zamahe frigahuema hia agu'agesa atre'ne.
