< Jona 2 >
1 Kubva mudumbu rehove Jona akanyengetera kuna Jehovha Mwari wake.
UJona wasekhuleka eNkosini uNkulunkulu wakhe esemathunjini enhlanzi,
2 Akati: “Mudambudziko rangu ndakadana kuna Jehovha, iye akandipindura. Kubva mukati meguva ndakadanidzira kuti ndibatsirwe, uye imi makanzwa kuchema kwangu. (Sheol )
wathi: Ekuhluphekeni kwami ngakhala eNkosini, yangiphendula; ngisesiswini sengcwaba ngamemeza, wena walizwa ilizwi lami. (Sheol )
3 Makandikandira makadzika, mumwoyo chaimo megungwa, uye mvura zhinji ikandikomberedza; mafungu enyu ose namapopoma enyu ose zvakapfuura napamusoro pangu.
Ngoba wangiphosela enzikini, enhliziyweni yezinlwandle, lempophoma zangihanqa; wonke amagagasi akho lamavinqo akho kwedlula phezu kwami.
4 Ndakati, ‘Ndaraswa kubva pamberi penyu, asi ndichatarirazve ndakaringa kutemberi yenyu tsvene.’
Ngasengisithi mina: Ngixotshiwe phambi kobuso bakho; kanti ngizabuya ngikhangele ngasethempelini lakho elingcwele.
5 Mvura zhinji dzandikomberedza dzikandityisa; pakadzikadzika pakandikomberedza; sora regungwa rakamonera musoro wangu.
Amanzi angihanqile kuze kube semphefumulweni; inziki ingizingelezele; imihlanga yathandela ikhanda lami.
6 Kumidzi yamakomo ndakanyura; nyika yapasi yakandipfigiramo nokusingaperi. Asi makaburitsa upenyu hwangu kubva mugomba, imi Jehovha Mwari wangu.
Ngehlela ezisekelweni zezintaba; umhlaba, imigoqo yawo yangihanqa laphakade; kanti wenyuse impilo yami emgodini, Nkosi Nkulunkulu wami.
7 “Upenyu hwangu pahwakanga hwotiza, ndakakurangarirai, imi Jehovha, uye munyengetero wangu wakauya kwamuri, kutemberi yenyu tsvene.
Lapho umphefumulo wami uphela amandla phakathi kwami ngakhumbula iNkosi; lomkhuleko wami wafika kuwe, ethempelini lakho elingcwele.
8 “Vaya vanobatirira kuzvifananidzo zvisina maturo, vanorasa nyasha dzingadai dziri dzavo.
Labo abagcina amanga ayize batshiya umusa wabo.
9 Asi ini, norwiyo rwokuvonga, ndichabayira kwamuri. Zvandakapika ndichazvizadzisa. Ruponeso runobva kuna Jehovha.”
Kodwa mina ngizakwenza umhlatshelo kuwe ngelizwi lokubonga, ngikhokhe lokho engikufungileyo; usindiso ngolweNkosi.
10 Uye Jehovha akarayira hove, ikandorutsira Jona panyika yakaoma.
INkosi yasikhuluma kuyo inhlanzi, yasimhlanza uJona emhlabathini owomileyo.
