Yona 3:1-10
3 Penepapo mazgu gha Yehova ghakiza kwa Yona kachiŵiri, ghakati:+
2 “Wuka, ulute ku msumba ukuru wa Nineve,+ ndipo ukapharazge uthenga uwo nkhukuphalira.”
3 Ntheura, Yona wakapulikira mazgu gha Yehova,+ wakawuka na kuluta ku Nineve.+ Nineve ukaŵa msumba ukuru chomene,* mtunda wakwenda ulendo wa mazuŵa ghatatu.
4 Yona wakanjira mu msumba, wakenda ulendo wa zuŵa limoza, ndipo wakapharazganga kuti: “Kwakhala mazuŵa 40 pera kuti Nineve wabwanganduke.”
5 Ŵanthu ŵa mu Nineve ŵakapulikana mwa Chiuta,+ ŵakapharazga kuti ŵaziŵizge kurya ndipo ŵavware vigudulu, kwambira ŵakuru m’paka ŵachoko chomene.
6 Uthenga ukati wafika kwa themba la Nineve, likawuka pa chitengo chake na kuvura chakuvwara chake chaufumu na kudika chigudulu, likakhala mu vyoto.
7 Kweniso likalangura kuti mu Nineve mose mupharazgike kuti:“Kwakuyana na dango la themba na ŵanthu ŵake ŵakuchindikika: Munthu panji chikoko, ng’ombe panji mberere, vingaryanga kanthu kalikose chara. Vingaryanga chakurya chara, nesi kumwa maji.
8 Munthu na chikoko, vyose vidikiskike chigudulu. Ŵamuŵeyelere chomene Chiuta, ndipo ŵawereko ku nthowa zawo ziheni na kuleka nkhaza izo ŵakuchita.
9 Ni njani wakumanya, panji Chiuta waunenesko wangaghanaghanirapo* pa icho wakukhumba kuchita na kuwerako ku ukali wake wakugolera, kuti tileke kumara?”
10 Chiuta waunenesko wakati wawona ivyo ŵakachita, umo ŵakawelerako ku nthowa zawo ziheni,+ wakaghanaghanirapo* pa soka ilo wakayowoya kuti wizenge nalo pa iwo, ndipo wakiza nalo chara.+
