2 El fahk, “Fahla nu Nineveh, siti lulap sac, ac fahkak nu sin mwet we lah nga arulana etu lupan koluk lalos.”
Sukuma, uye eNineve, umuzi omkhulu, umemeze umelene lawo; ngoba ububi babo benyukele phambi kwami.

Kodwa uJona wasukuma ukuze abalekele eTarshishi esuka ebusweni beNkosi, wehlela eJopha, wathola umkhumbi oya eTarshishi, wanika imali yawo, wehlela kuwo, ukuze ahambe labo eTarshishi, asuke ebusweni beNkosi.

Kodwa iNkosi yaphosa umoya omkhulu elwandle; kwasekusiba lesiphepho esikhulu elwandle, okungangokuthi umkhumbi wacatshangelwa ukwephuka.

Abatshayeli bomkhumbi basebesesaba, bakhala, ngulowo lalowo kunkulunkulu wakhe, baphosela olwandle izimpahla ezazisemkhunjini, ukuwenza ube lula kuzo. Kodwa uJona wayehlele emaceleni omkhumbi, walala, waba lobuthongo obukhulu.
6 Captain lun oak uh liyalak ac fahk nu sel, “Efu kom ku motul? Tukakek ac pre nu sin god lom. Sahp el ac pakomutasr ac molikutla.”
Ngakho induna yomkhumbi yasondela kuye, yathi kuye: Ulani wena olobuthongo obukhulu? Vuka, ubize kuNkulunkulu wakho; mhlawumbe lowoNkulunkulu angasikhumbula, ukuze singabhubhi.
7 Na selu ah fahk nu sin sie sin sie, “Wona kut in susfa in konauk lah su pwanma mwe fosrnga inge nu sesr uh.” Elos orala fa uh, na inel Jonah fwacfeyak.
Basebesithi, ngulowo kumngane wakhe: Wozani senze inkatho yokuphosa, ukuze sazi ukuthi kungenxa kabani lobububi buphezu kwethu. Basebesenza inkatho yokuphosa; inkatho yasiwela phezu kukaJona.

Basebesithi kuye: Akusitshele ukuthi kungenxa kabani lobububi buphezu kwethu. Umsebenzi wakho uyini? Njalo uvela ngaphi? Yiliphi ilizwe lakini? Njalo ungowasiphi isizwe?
9 Jonah el topuk, “Nga mwet Hebrew. Nga alu nu sin LEUM GOD, God inkusrao, su orala acn ac meoa uh.”
Wasesithi kubo: NgingumHebheru, ngiyayesaba iNkosi, uNkulunkulu wamazulu, owenza ulwandle lomhlabathi owomileyo.
10 Jonah el fahk pac nu selos lah el kaing liki LEUM GOD. Mwet fin oak uh arulana sangengla ac fahk nu sel, “Ma na koluk se pa kom oru ingan!”
Amadoda asesesaba ngokwesaba okukhulu, athi kuye: Ukwenzeleni lokhu? Ngoba amadoda akwazi ukuthi ubalekile ebusweni beNkosi, ngoba wayesewatshelile.
11 Ac ke paka uh sifilpa upala liki meet ah, mwet fin oak uh siyuk sel, “Mea kut ac oru nu sum in kutongya paka uh?”
Asesithi kuye: Senzeni kuwe ukuze ulwandle luthule kithi? Ngoba ulwandle lwaqhubeka lwaba lesiphepho esikhulu.
12 Jonah el topuk, “Sisyula nu in meoa uh na ac fah mihsi. Nga etu lah nga pa pwanang kowos sun eng na upa se inge.”
Wasesithi kiwo: Ngiphakamisani, lingiphosele olwandle; ngalokho ulwandle luzalithulela; ngoba ngiyazi ukuthi lesisiphepho esikhulu siphezu kwenu ngenxa yami.
13 Elos tia sisella, a elos srike na ke kuiyalos in kalang nu weacn uh, tuh elos tia ku mweyen paka uh upala liki na meet.
Kodwa amadoda agwedla ngamandla ukuze awubuyisele umkhumbi emhlabathini owomileyo, kodwa ehluleka, ngoba ulwandle lwaqhubeka lwaba lesiphepho lumelene lawo.
14 Na elos wowoyak nu sin LEUM GOD ac fahk, “O LEUM GOD, kut siyuk, nikmet eisla moul lasr ke kut ac eisla moul lun mwet se inge! Kom, O LEUM GOD, pa pwanang ma inge nukewa. Ma inge kut ac oru fal nu ke lungse lom.”
Ngakho akhala eNkosini, athi: Siyakuncenga, Nkosi, kasingabhubhi ngenxa yempilo yalumuntu, ungabeki phezu kwethu igazi elingelacala; ngoba wena, Nkosi, wenzile njengokukuthokozisayo.
15 Na elos sraklalak Jonah ac sisella nu in meoa, na eng uh tui in kitin pacl ah na.
Asephakamisa uJona, amphosela elwandle; ulwandle lwaselusima ekuvubekeni kwalo.
16 Ma se inge oru mwet fin oak uh arulana sangeng sin LEUM GOD, pwanang elos oru sie mwe kisa nu sin LEUM GOD, ac wulela mu elos ac kulansap nu sel.
Amadoda aseyesaba iNkosi ngokwesaba okukhulu, anikela umhlatshelo eNkosini, afunga izifungo.
17 Ac LEUM GOD El oru tuh soko ik lulap in okomulla Jonah, ac el muta insien ik soko ah ke len tolu ac fong tolu.
Njalo iNkosi yayimise inhlanzi enkulu ukuze imginye uJona; njalo uJona waba semathunjini enhlanzi insuku ezintathu lobusuku obuthathu.
