Ninive, mbonge ya A-Suria, atu jamo te kakwete yitanga yipi. Yehova yalweza profeta wenyi Yona hanga aye mu Ninive ni kwaatoweza ngwenyi, katamba kwalumuna yitanga yo. Alioze Yona yachina yaya kweka. Yakwata kawashi-washi ulungu uze te unayi ku Tashi.

Muze ulungu wapwile ha kalunga-lwiji, kangunga mukolo yaputuka, chocho akwa-ulungu yaputuka kwivwa woma. Ayo yalemba kuli tuzambi two ni kwahula ngwo: ‘Mumu liaka yino yinalingiwa?’ Hi kusongo, Yona yaalweza ngwenyi: ‘Yino yinalingiwa mumu lia yami. Mumu ngunachina kulinga yuma yize Yehova angutumanga kulinga. Ngumbilenu mu kalunga-lwiji, hanga kangunga yono alitwamine.’ Akwa-ulungu kakazangile kumbila Yona mu kalunga-lwiji, alioze Yona yaajijiminya. Muze ayo amumbilile mu kalunga-lwiji, kangunga yahwa.

Yona yanyonga ngwenyi mafwa. Muze te anayi ni kushimbama mu kalunga-lwiji, aye yalemba kuli Yehova. Hachino, Yehova yatuma yishi munene. Yishi wacho yamina Yona, alioze kakamushihile. Muze apwile mujimo lia yishi, Yona yalemba kuli Yehova ngwenyi: ‘Ngunakulakenya kukwononokena mashimbu eswe ku mwono wami.’ Yehova yafunga Yona mujimo lia yishi ha matangwa atatu nawa yalingisa yishi wacho hanga asajile Yona ku chana.

 Kukatuka haze Yehova alamwinyine Yona, shina chino chinalumbunuka ngwo Yona te kechi kuya ku Ninive? Ka. Yehova kalwezele nawa Yona hanga ayeko. Ha shimbu liacho, Yona yononoka ku shimbi ya Yehova. Iye yayako ni kulweza atu jacho api ngwenyi: ‘Ha matangwa 40, Ninive kumakayonona.’ Hohene, yikulingiwa chimwe chuma, akwa-Ninive yapanjika ni kwalumuna yitanga yo. Mwanangana wa mu Ninive yalweza atu jenyi ngwenyi: ‘Lembenu kuli Zambi nawa likonyekenu. Hanji mecha kutwonona.’ Muze Yehova amwene ngwenyi, atu jacho halumuna yitanga yo, chocho yecha kwaashiha.

Yona yevwa uli unji mumu mbonge ya Ninive kakayinongesene. Achinyonga kama: Yehova kasolwele uhumikizo ni keke hali Yona, alioze Yona kakapwile ni keke hali atu amu Ninive. Hachino, ni ufwatulo weswe, iye yaya haze lia mbonge yatwama mu chizulie cha lwitwi. Chocho lwitwi wacho yoma, Yona yevwa uli unji. Hachino, Yehova yamulweza ngwenyi: ‘Yena hiwevwila keke lwitwi kuhiana akwa-Ninive. Yami hinaasolwela keke, nawa hinaalamwina.’ Longeso lika twawana hano? Akwa-Ninive te kakwete ulemu unji kuhiana mutondo weswawo.
