Yona 3:1-10
3 Pashishe dîyi dia Yehowa diakalua kudi Yona musangu muibidi, diamba ne:+
2 “Juka, ndaku ku Niniwe,+ tshimenga tshinene, utshimanyishe mukenji undi nkuambila.”
3 Nunku Yona wakajuka, kuyaye ku Niniwe+ bua kutumikila dîyi dia Yehowa.+ Kadi Niniwe uvua tshimenga tshinene menemene,* ntanta wa luendu lua matuku asatu.
4 Pashishe Yona wakabuela mu tshimenga atshi, kuendaye dituku dijima, uvua umanyisha ne: “Nkushale matuku 40 tshianana, Niniwe neabutudibue.”
5 Kadi bantu ba mu Niniwe bakitabuja Nzambi,+ ne bakamanyisha bua kubuela mu tshijila tshia biakudia, kuvualabu bilamba bikayabale kubangila ku udi mutambe bunene too ne ku udi mutambe bukese wa kudibu.
6 Pakafika mukenji eu kudi mukalenge wa Niniwe, yeye wakajuka mu nkuasa wende wa bukalenge, kuvulaye bilamba biende bia bumfumu, kudijingilaye tshilamba tshikayabale ne kusombaye mu butu.
7 Kabidi, wakatuma dîyi mu Niniwe mujima ne:“Ku mukenji wa mukalenge ne bantu bende banene: Muntu nansha umue anyi nyama, nyama minene anyi nyama mikese, kabiena ne bua kudia tshintu nansha tshimue to. Kabiena ne bua kudia tshiakudia ne kabiena ne bua kunua mâyi nansha.
8 Bantu ne nyama bavuale bilamba bikayabale; babikile Nzambi ne muoyo umue ne bumbuke ku njila yabu mibi ne ku malu a tshikisu adibu benza.
9 Nnganyi udi mumanye bikala Nzambi mulelela mua kuelulula meji a* bualu budiye ukeba kuenza ne kumbuka ku tshiji tshiende tshikole bua tuetu katufu?”
10 Pakamona Nzambi mulelela tshivuabu benze, muvuabu bumbuke ku njila yabu mibi,+ yeye wakelulula meji a* dikenga divuaye muambe ne: uvua mua kubatumina, yeye kakadituma+ to.
