< UJona 3 >
1 Ilizwi leNkosi laselifika kuJona ngokwesibili, lisithi:
Pǝrwǝrdigarning sɵzi ikkinqi ⱪetim Yunusⱪa yetip mundaⱪ deyildi: —
2 Sukuma, uye eNineve, lowana umuzi omkhulu, utshumayele kuwo intshumayelo engikutshela yona.
«Ornungdin tur, Ninǝwǝ degǝn axu büyük xǝⱨǝrgǝ berip, Mǝn sanga tapxurƣan hǝwǝrni ularƣa jakarla».
3 UJona wasesukuma, waya eNineve, njengokwelizwi leNkosi. Phela iNineve yayingumuzi omkhulu kakhulu, uhambo lwezinsuku ezintathu.
Yunus ornidin turup Pǝrwǝrdigarning sɵzi boyiqǝ Ninǝwǝ xǝⱨirigǝ bardi. Ninǝwǝ bolsa naⱨayiti büyük bir xǝⱨǝr bolup, xǝⱨǝrning ɵzila üq künlük yol idi.
4 UJona waseqala ukungena emzini, uhambo losuku olulodwa. Wamemeza, wathi: Kusesezinsuku ezingamatshumi amane, khona iNineve izagenqulwa.
Yunus xǝⱨǝr iqigǝ kirip bir kün mangdi, u: — Ⱪiriⱪ kündin keyin, Ninǝwǝ xǝⱨiri wǝyran ⱪilinidu! — dǝp jakarlidi.
5 Abantu beNineve basebekholwa kuNkulunkulu, bamemezela ukuzila ukudla, bagqoka amasaka, kusukela komkhulu wabo kwaze kwaba komncinyane wabo.
Ninǝwǝdikilǝr Hudaning sɵzigǝ ixǝndi. Ular roza tutulsun dǝp elan ⱪilip, mɵtiwǝrlǝrdin tartip ǝng kiqikigiqǝ ularning ⱨǝmmisi bɵz kiyim kiydi.
6 Ngoba ilizwi lafinyelela enkosini yeNineve; yasisukuma esihlalweni sayo sobukhosi, yakhulula isembatho sayo kuyo, yazimbomboza ngesaka, yahlala emlotheni.
Bu sɵz padixaⱨⱪa yǝtkǝndǝ, umu tǝhtidin turup, tonini taxlap bɵz kiyim kiyip küllükkǝ kirip olturdi.
7 Yasimemezela yathi kuyo iNineve ngomthetho wenkosi labakhulu bayo, isithi: Kakungabi lomuntu, kumbe inyamazana, inkomo kumbe imvu, okuzanambitha loba yini; kakungadli, kakunganathi amanzi.
U yǝnǝ ǝmri arⱪiliⱪ pütkül Ninǝwǝ xǝⱨirigǝ munularni jakarlidi: — «Padixaⱨ ⱨǝm aⱪsɵngǝklǝrning yarliⱪi boyiqǝ, Ninǝwǝ xǝⱨiridiki ⱨeqⱪandaⱪ adǝm, at-ulaƣ, kala, ⱪoy padiliri ⱨeqnǝrsigǝ eƣiz tǝgmisun; ⱨeqnǝrsini yemisun, sumu iqmisun.
8 Kodwa kakuthi umuntu lenyamazana kwembeswe amasaka, bakhale kuNkulunkulu ngamandla, yebo, baphenduke, ngulowo lalowo endleleni yakhe embi, lodlakeleni olusezandleni zabo.
Ⱨǝrbir adǝm wǝ ⱨaywan bɵz kiysun, ⱨǝrbiri Hudaƣa ⱪattiⱪ pǝryad kɵtürsun; ⱨǝrbiri yaman yoldin yansun, ⱨǝrbiri ⱪolini zorawanliⱪtin üzsun;
9 Ngubani owaziyo, uNkulunkulu angaphenduka azisole, aphenduke asuke kukuvutha kolaka lwakhe, ukuze singabhubhi.
kim bilidu, buning bilǝn Huda ⱪattiⱪ ƣǝzipidin yenip bizni ⱨalak ⱪilmasmikin?».
10 UNkulunkulu wasebona imisebenzi yabo, ukuthi baphendukile endleleni yabo embi; uNkulunkulu wazisola ngobubi ayethe uzabenza kubo, akaze abenza.
Xuning bilǝn Huda ularning ǝmǝllirini, yǝni yaman yollardin yanƣanliⱪini kɵrüp, ularƣa ⱪaratⱪan bala-ⱪazani qüxürüxtin yenip, xu baliyaⱪazani qüxürmidi.
