Jona 2:1-10
2 Ngesikhatsi Jona asesiswini senhlanti,+ wabese uthantaza kuJehova Nkulunkulu wakhe,
2 watsi:
“Ngatsi ngisekuhluphekeni, ngakhala kuwe Jehova futsi wena wangiphendvula.+
Ngakhalela lusito+ ngisekujuleni* kweliThuna.*
Wena wangiva.
3 Ngesikhatsi ungijikijela ekujuleni kwelwandle, phansi emajukujukwini alo,Emanti angimbonya,+Futsi onkhe emagagasi akho lanemandla endlula etikwami.+
4 Ngako ngatsi: ‘Wena sewungicoshile embikwakho!
Utsi nje ngisetawuphindze ngilibone lithempeli lakho lelingcwele?’
5 Emanti angimbonya futsi ngacishe ngafa;+Ngacwila ngaya ekujuleni kwelwandle.
Lukhula lwasemantini lwagigeletela inhloko yami.
6 Ngacwila ngaya emajukujukwini elwandle.*
Emasango elithuna* bekafuna kungivalela kuze kube phakadze.
Kodvwa wena Jehova Nkulunkulu wami, wangikhipha ngiphila emgodzini.+
7 Ngesikhatsi ngiphelelwa ngemandla, ngakhumbula wena Jehova.+
Wawuva umthantazo wami usethempelini lakho lelingcwele.+
8 Labo labakhonta tithico letingenamsebenti bamshiyile loyo lobaphatsa ngelutsandvo lolucotfo.*
9 Kodvwa mine ngitakudvumisa futsi nginikele imihlatjelo kuwe.
Ngitawukwenta loko lengikufungele.+
Awu Jehova, insindziso ivela kuwe.”+
10 Ngemuva kwesikhatsi, Jehova watjela lenhlanti kutsi ihlantele Jona emhlabatsini lowomile, futsi yavele yenta njalo.
