1 Kwa achi ichilawile, Yona ng'adeng'elele bae hata chidogho, apfo tsakaghudubuka ng'ani. 2 Kamlongela Imulungu, "Ghwee Imulungu, imbuli ino si ihila bae yanongile kutsotenda haning'ali mne isi yangu? Apfi pfipfo pfanisumkile kutsumila Tarisisi. Tsanimanya ghweghwe kwa Imulungu yune unoghelo na libatsi, ng'usumkagha bae kona maya, ghweghwe kunogha na kwatayari kughaleka ghamawatso ghako gha kuhigha iwanu. 3 Lelo, ghwee Imtwatsa, undeke nene nife, ng'apfu ning'afa kubita kuwa mghima."

4 Imtwatsa Imulungu kamwidika, "Apfi kwakona pfinogha ukughudubuka?"

5 Baho Yona kaghenda ubali wa kwalilawila litsua we ghumji. Baho katsenga chibumbulika, kakala hane chimbeho chake, kobeta alole chitsolawila choni mne ghumji ghwa Ninawi. 6 Kuya Imtwatsa Imulungu kahanda ghummeya, nagho ghukula na ghumwing'a Yona chimbeho, chokumhungutsila ukughaya. Yona kaghunoghela ghendo ghummeya aghwo. 7 Lekeni ilupfi yake, hakuchele Imulungu kamlaghitsa imng'onyo aghudafune ghummeya, nagho ghunyala. 8 Litsua halilawile, Imulungu kaghala libeho ililakatsa kulawa kwalilawila litsua, na litsua limlakatsa Yona mwitwi, chidogho yatsilike. Kabama yafe, kalonga, "Pfinogha ning'afile kubita kuwa mghima."

9 Lekeni Imulungu kamlongela Yona, "Apfi kotenda ghoya kughudubukila ghummeya?" Yona kalonga, "Ona, nighudubuka ng'ani mbaka nobama nife."

10 Kuya Imulungu kamlongela, "Ghummeya aghu ghukula mna ichilo chimwe, na ghunyala mna chilo chimwe, ghweghwe ng'utendile chinu chochose bae, wala si ghweghwe bae yughutendile ghukule, lekeni koghwonela usungu! 11 Angu lelo ng'apfinoghile bae nene kuwonela libatsi iwanu wengi wa ghumji mkulu ghwa Ninawi. Ghumji ghune iwana iwobita laki imwe na elufu ishilini, yang'awodaha bae kutanga choni chinogha na choni chiha, ghumji ghune iwanyama wengi yang'awodaha kupetighwa?"
