Yona 4:1-11
4 Ariko ibyo bibabaza Yona, maze ararakara cyane.
2 Nuko asenga Yehova ati: “Yehova, ibi si byo navuze igihe nari mu gihugu cyanjye? Ni yo mpamvu nahise mpunga nkigira i Tarushishi.+ Nari nzi ko uri Imana ifite impuhwe n’imbabazi, itinda kurakara, ifite urukundo rwinshi rudahemuka+ kandi ibabazwa n’ibyago bigera ku bantu.
3 None rero Yehova, nyica kuko gupfa bindutira kubaho.”+
4 Nuko Yehova aramubaza ati: “Ese ubwo ufite impamvu yumvikana yo kurakara cyane bigeze aho?”
5 Hanyuma Yona asohoka mu mujyi ajya kwicara mu burasirazuba bwawo, yubaka akazu ko kugamamo izuba akicaramo, kugira ngo arebe uko biri bugendekere uwo mujyi.+
6 Yehova Imana ameza uruyuzi kugira ngo ruzamuke rugere hejuru y’aho Yona yari ari rumutwikire, abone igicucu maze agahinda yari afite kagabanuke. Nuko Yona yishimira cyane urwo ruyuzi.
7 Ariko mu gitondo cya kare, Imana y’ukuri yohereza inanda* irya urwo ruyuzi, ruruma.
8 Izuba rirashe, Imana yohereza umuyaga ushyushye cyane uturutse iburasirazuba. Izuba ryaka cyane kuri Yona, maze agira isereri. Yisabira ko yapfa, akajya avuga ati: “Gupfa bindutira kubaho.”+
9 Nuko Imana ibaza Yona iti: “Ese ufite impamvu yumvikana yo kurakara cyane bitewe na ruriya ruyuzi?”+
Na we arasubiza ati: “Mfite impamvu yumvikana yo kurakara cyane, ndetse ndumva napfa.”
10 Ariko Yehova aramubwira ati: “Dore wowe ubabajwe n’uruyuzi utavunikiye cyangwa ngo urukuze. Rwimejeje mu ijoro rimwe, kandi rwuma mu ijoro rimwe.
11 None se ubwo njye sinari nkwiriye kubabazwa n’umujyi munini wa Nineve,+ utuwe n’abantu barenga 120.000 batazi gutandukanya icyiza n’ikibi* kandi ukaba urimo n’amatungo menshi?”+
