Jona 2:1-10
2 Zvino Jona akanyengetera kuna Jehovha Mwari wake ari mudumbu rehove,+
2 akati:
“Ndakashevedzera kuna Jehovha ndichitambudzika,+ iye akandipindura.+Ndakachemera kubatsirwa ndiri mudumbu reSheori.+Imi makanzwa inzwi rangu.+
3 Pamakandikanda munzvimbo dzakadzika, mumwoyo megungwa guru,+Rwizi rwakabva rwandikomberedza.Masaisai enyu ose nemafungu enyu—zvakapfuura nepamusoro pangu.+
4 Ini ndakati, ‘Ndadzingwa pamberi penyu!+Ndichazotarirazve sei temberi yenyu tsvene?’+
5 Mvura yakandikomberedza kusvikira kumweya wangu chaiko;+ mvura yakadzika yakaramba yakandikomberedza.Masora akamonera musoro wangu.
6 Ndakadzika pasi pemakomo.Mizariro yenyika yakanga iri pamusoro pangu nokusingagumi.Asi makabudisa upenyu hwangu mugomba, haiwa Jehovha Mwari wangu.+
7 Mweya wangu pawakapera simba mukati mangu,+ Jehovha ndiye wandakayeuka.+Munyengetero wangu wakabva wasvika kwamuri, imo mutemberi yenyu tsvene.+
8 Vaya vanoremekedza zvidhori zvenhema, vanosiya mutsa wavo worudo.+
9 Asi ini, ndichabayira chibayiro kwamuri nenzwi rokuonga.+Ndicharipa zvandakapika.+ Ruponeso runobva kuna Jehovha.”+
10 Kwapera nguva yakati, Jehovha akarayira hove yacho, ikarutsira Jona panyika yakaoma.+
