UJona 2:1-10

  • Umthandazo kaJona esesiswini senhlanzi (1-9)

  • UJona uhlanzelwa ekhunjini (10)

2  UJona wasekhuleka kuJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe esesiswini senhlanzi,+ 2  wathi: “Ngisebunzimeni ngambiza uJehova yena wangiphendula.+ Ngakhala ngicela uncedo ngisekujuleni kwengcwaba,*+Wena walizwa ilizwi lami.  3  Wangiphosela enzikini yolwandle,Impophoma zamanzi zangihanqa.+ Amagagasi akho amakhulu angisibekela.+  4  Ngasengisithi, ‘Sengisusiwe phambi kwakho! Kambe ngizaphinda ngilibone yini ithempeli lakho elingcwele?’  5  Amanzi angisibekela ngakubona ukufa sekungiqondile,+Ngacwila emanzini atshonayo. Utshani bolwandle bangithandela ikhanda.  6  Ngacwila ngaze ngayafika ngaphansi kwezintaba. Amasango omhlaba ayesengivalele,Kodwa wena Jehova Nkulunkulu wami wangikhipha egodini.+  7  Ngathi ngibona ukuthi sengisifa ngakukhumbula Jehova,+Wawuzwa umthandazo wami usethempelini lakho elingcwele.+  8  Labo abakhonza izithombe ezingelancedo balahla lowo olothando oluqotho.*  9  Kodwa mina ngizakubonga ngelizwi lami nginikele umhlatshelo kuwe. Ngizazigcwalisa izifungo zami.+ Insindiso ivela kuJehova.”+ 10  Ngemva kwesikhathi uJehova walaya inhlanzi ukuthi imhlanze uJona, yasimhlanzela ekhunjini.
