3 Penepo kinenwa kya Yehova kyaiya kudi Yona musunsa wa bubidi amba:+
2 “Imana, wende ku Nineva+ kibundi kikatampe, ukekisapwile musapu onkulombola.”
3 Penepo Yona pa kukōkela kinenwa kya Yehova,+ waimana waenda ku Nineva.+ Mu kine kitatyi’kya, Nineva kyadi kibundi kikatampe bininge*—kyendwa lwa nshi mafuku asatu.
4 Kupwa Yona watwela mu kibundi, waenda lwendo lwa difuku dimo, wasapula’mba: “Kubashala’tu mafuku 40, Nineva ukafulamikwa.”
5 Ebiya bantu ba Nineva baikala na lwitabijo mudi Leza,+ baela lubila lwa kushikilwa na nzala ne kuvwala masāka, kushilwila ku mukatampe bininge mobadi kutūla ne ku mutyetye bininge.
6 Mulopwe wa Nineva pa kwivwana mwanda’wa, waimana pa lupona lwandi, wavūla kivwalwa kyandi kya bulopwe, wepūta sāka kashikete mu buto.
7 Ne kadi, wasoñanya basapule mu Nineva monso amba,“Mwendele lubila lwa mulopwe ne bantu bandi ba bulēme: Muntu nansha nyema, nansha ñombe nansha mikōko, kebafwaninwepo kudya kintu nansha kimo. Kebafwaninwepo kudya byakudya, nansha kutoma mema kwine.
8 Bepūte masāka, bantu ne banyema bene; kadi babije Leza na kininga ne kuvundamina mashinda abo mabi ne lūma lwabo.
9 Le i ani uyukile shi Leza wa bine ukashinta milangwe pa* byalanga kulonga ne kwaluka ku bulobo bwandi budyendyemuka kutyina twakafwa?”
10 Leza wa bine pa kumona byobalongele, mobavundaminine mashinda abo mabi,+ nandi washinta milangwe pa* kyamalwa kyawanenene kwibaletela, waleka kwikileta.+
