2 UThixo uNkulunkulu olobukhwele lophindiselayo; uThixo uyaphindisela njalo ulolaka olukhulu. UThixo uyaphindisela ezitheni zakhe lolaka lwakhe lukhulu ezitheni zakhe.
God jealous and to avenge LORD to avenge LORD and master: [master of] rage to avenge LORD to/for enemy his and to keep he/she/it to/for enemy his
3 UThixo uyaphuza ukuthukuthela njalo ulamandla amakhulu; uThixo kayikumyekela olecala engajeziswanga. Indlela yakhe iphakathi kwesivunguzane lesiphepho, amayezi aluthuli lwezinyawo zakhe.
LORD slow face: anger (and great: large *Q(K)*) strength and to clear not to clear LORD in/on/with whirlwind and in/on/with storm way: journey his and cloud dust foot his

to rebuke in/on/with sea and to wither him and all [the] river to dry to weaken Bashan and Carmel and flower Lebanon to weaken
5 Izintaba ziyanyikinyeka phambi kwakhe, lamaqaqa ayancibilika. Umhlaba uyagedezela ngobukhona bakhe, umhlaba labo bonke abahlala kuwo.

6 Ngubani ongamelana lentukuthelo yakhe na? Ngubani ongalumela ulaka lwakhe oluvuthayo na? Ulaka lwakhe luthululeka njengomlilo; amadwala ayaqhekezeka phambi kwakhe.
to/for face: before indignation his who? to stand: stand and who? to arise: rise in/on/with burning anger face: anger his rage his to pour like/as fire and [the] rock to tear from him
7 UThixo ulungile, uyisiphephelo ezikhathini zokuhlupheka. Uyabakhathalela abathembele kuye,
pleasant LORD to/for security in/on/with day distress and to know to seek refuge in/on/with him
8 kodwa ngesikhukhula esikhulu uzatshabalalisa iNiniva; uzaxotshela izitha zakhe emnyameni.
and in/on/with flood to pass consumption to make place her and enemy his to pursue darkness
9 Loba engamacebo bani abawenza ngoThixo, uzawaqeda; ukuhlupheka akuyikubuya kabili.
what? to devise: devise [emph?] to(wards) LORD consumption he/she/it to make not to arise: rise beat distress
10 Bazathandeleka phakathi kwameva, bedakwe liwayini labo; bazaqothulwa njengenhlanga ezomileyo.
for till thorn to interweave and like/as liquor their to imbibe to eat like/as stubble dry full
11 Wena Nineve, kuwe sekufike lowo oceba okubi ngoThixo, eluleke okubi.
from you to come out: come to devise: devise upon LORD distress: evil to advise Belial: worthless
12 Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo: “Lanxa belababambene labo njalo bebanengi, bazaqothulwa banyamalale. Lanxa ngikuhluphile, wena Juda, kangisayikukuhlupha futhi.
thus to say LORD if complete and so many and so to shear and to pass and to afflict you not to afflict you still
13 Khathesi ngizakwephula ijogwe labo elisentanyeni yakho, ngiqamule lamaketane akho.”
and now to break yoke his from upon you and bond your to tear
14 UThixo usekhuphe ilizwi ngawe Nineve elithi, “Kawuyikuba lezizukulwane ezibizwa ngebizo lakho. Ngizachitha izifanekiso ezibaziweyo lezithombe ezibunjiweyo ezisethempelini labonkulunkulu bakho. Ngizalungisa ingcwaba lakho, ngoba ungcolile.”
and to command upon you LORD not to sow from name your still from house: temple God your to cut: eliminate idol and liquid to set: make grave your for to lighten
15 Khangela ezintabeni le, inyawo zalowo oletha izindaba ezinhle, omemezela ukuthula! Thakazelela imikhosi yakho we Juda, ugcwalise lezifungo zakho. Ababi kabasayikukuhlasela futhi; bazachithwa ngokupheleleyo.
behold upon [the] mountain: mount foot to bear tidings to hear: proclaim peace to celebrate Judah feast your to complete vow your for not to add: again still (to/for to pass *Q(k)*) in/on/with you Belial: worthless all his to cut: eliminate
