16 Maze abo bagabo baherako batinya Uwiteka cyane, bamutambira igitambo, bahiga imihigo.

2 Maze Yona asengera Uwiteka Imana ye mu nda y'urufiati
3 “Nagize ibyago ntakira Uwiteka aransubiza,
Nahamagariye mu nda y'ikuzimu,
Wumva ijwi ryanjye.
4 Kuko wanjugunye imuhengeri mu nyanja,
Umwuzurewarangose,
Ibigogo byawe n'imiraba yawe byose byarandengeye.
5 Ndavuga nti ‘Nciwe imbere yawe,
Ariko nzongera kurebaurusengero rwawe rwera.’
6 Amazi yarantwikiriye angera ku bugingo,
Imuhengeri harangose,
Urwuya rwanyizingiye mu mutwe.
7 Ndamanuka njya mu mizi y'imisozi,
Isi n'ibihindizo byayo binkingira ibihe byose,
Arikounkuriraubugingo muri rwa rwobo,
Uwiteka Mana yanjye.
8 Ubwoumutimawanjye wiheberaga mu nda nibutse Uwiteka,
No gusenga kwanjye kwakugezeho mu rusengero rwawe rwera.
9 Aberekezaumutimaku bitagiraumumaroby'ibinyoma,
Baba bimūyeubababarira.
10 Ariko jyeweho nzagutambira igitambo n'ijwi ry'ishimwe,
Kandi nzahiguraumuhigowanjye,
Agakiza gaturukaku Uwiteka.”
11 Nuko Uwiteka ategekaurufirurukaYona imusozi.
1 Maze ijambo ry'Uwiteka rigera kuri Yona ubwa kabiri riramubwira riti
2 “Hagurukaujye i Nineve wa murwa munini,uwuburireimiburo nzakubwira.”
3 Nuko Yona arahagurukaajya i Nineve nk'uko Uwiteka yamutegetse. Kandi Nineve wariumurwa muninicyane, kuwuzenguka rwariurugendo rw'iminsi itatu.
4 Yona atangira kujya mu mudugudu, agendaurugendo rw'umunsi umwe ararangururaati “Hasigaye iminsi mirongo ine Nineve hakarimbuka.”
5 Maze ab'i Nineve bemera Imana, bamamaza itegeko ryo kwiyirizaubusa, bose bakambara ibigunirauhereye ku mukuruukageza kuuworoheje hanyuma y'abandi.
6 Ijambo rigera ku mwami w'i Nineve ahagurukaku ntebe ye y'ubwami, yiyamburaumwambaro we yambara ibigunira, yicara mu ivu.
7 Ategekana itegeko n'abatware be b'intebe baryamamaza i Nineve bati “Umuntu wese ye kugiraicyo asogongeraho, kandi amatungo y'amashyo n'imikumbi bye kurisha kandi bye kunywaamazi,
8 ahubwo abantu n'amatungo byose byambare ibigunira, abantu batakambire Imana bakomeje, kandi bahindukireumuntu wese areke inzira ye mbi, bareke n'urugomobagira.
9 Nta wubiziahari aho Imana yahindukiraikigarura, ikarekauburakari bw'inkazi yari ifite ntiturimbuke!”
10 Imana ibonye imirimo yabo, uko bahindukiyebakareka inzira yabo mbi irigarura, ireka ibyago yari yabageneye ntiyabibateza.

3 None rero Uwiteka, ndakwinginzeunyice kuko gupfa bindutiyekubaho.”
4 Uwiteka aramubazaati “Ubwourakaye ubwoukozeneza?”
5 Nuko Yona asohoka mu murwa yicara iruhande rwawo aherekeye iburasirazuba, aba ari ho aca ingando ayicaramo ari mu gicucu, ategereza kurebaukoumurwauzamera.
6 Uwiteka Imana itegekauruyuzirumeraaho Yona yari ari ngo rumutwikire, rumubereigicucu ku mutwe, rumukizeumubabaro yari afite. Maze Yona ararunezererwa cyane.
7 Bukeyebwaho Imana itegeka inanda irya urwo ruyuzi, bucya rwarabye.
8 Maze izuba rivuye Uwiteka ategekaumuyagawotsa w'iburasirazuba, izuba ryica Yona mu mutwe bituma yiheba, yisabira gupfa aravuga ati “Gupfa bindutiyekubaho.”
9 Uwiteka aramubazaati “Ukoze neza ubwourakajwe n'ukouruyuzirwumye?”
Aramusubizaati “Nkoze neza kurakara, ndetse byatuma niyahura.”
10 Uwiteka aramubazaati “Ubabajwe n'uruyuziutihingiye kandiutamejeje,uruyuzirwameze ijoro rimwe ku rindi rukuma?
11 Jyewe se sinari nkwiriye kubabazwa n'i Nineve uwo murwa munini,urimoabantu agahumbi n'inzovu ebyiri basaga batazi gutandukanya indyo n'imoso, hakabamo n'amatungo menshi?”
