¹Asi zvakaodza mwoyo waJona kwazvo, akatsamwa.

¹¶ Otiia ki ta Hona, nui atu te he, a mura ana tona riri.

²Akanyengetera Jehovha, akati, Aiwa, Jehovha, handizvo zvandakataura, ndichiri munyika yangu here? Saka ndakachimbidzika kutizira Tashishi; nekuti ndakanga ndichiziva kuti muri Mwari ane nyasha, ane tsitsi, asingachimbidziki kutsamwa, azere nounyoro, muchizvidemba pamakafunga kuuyisa zvakaipa.

²A ka inoi ia, ki a Ihowa, ka mea, Aue, e Ihowa, he teka ianei ko taku tenei i mea ai i ahau ano i toku whenua? Na reira ahau i rere wawe ai ki Tarahihi; i mohio hoki ahau he Atua atawhai koe, he tohu tangata, he puhoi ki te riri, he nui te aroha, e puta ke ana te whakaaro mo te kino.

³Saka Jehovha, zvino chinditorerai henyu upenyu hwangu; nekuti zviri nani kwandiri kuti ndife pakuti ndirarame.

³Na, tera ra, e Ihowa, kia mate ahau aianei; he pai atu hoki i te ora te mate moku.

⁴Jehovha akati, Zvakanaka here zvawatsamwa?

⁴Ano ra ko Ihowa, He mea pai ranei kia riri koe?

⁵Ipapo Jona akabuda muguta, akandogara kurutivi rwamabvazuva rweguta, akazvivakirapo musasa, ndokugaramo mumumvuri, achiti ndigoona zvichaitirwa guta.

⁵¶ Na ka puta a Hona i roto i te pa, a noho ana i te taha ki te rawhiti o te pa; kei te hanga i tetahi tihokahoka mona ki reira, noho ana i raro i te taumarumarunga iho, kia kite ra ano ka ahatia ranei te pa.

⁶Jehovha Mwari ndokuraira muti womuchindwe, akaumeresa kumusoro kwaJona, kuti uve mumvuri pamusoro wake, shungu dzake dzinyaradzwe. Zvino Jona akafarira kwazvo muti womuchindwi.

⁶Na kua rite i a Ihowa tetahi hue, meinga ana e ia kia eke ki runga ki a Hona, hei whakamarumaru mo tona mahunga, hei whakaora mona i a ia i mamae ra. Na nui atu te koa o Hona ki te hue ra.

⁷Asi nezuva rakatevera Mwari akaraira gonye mangwanani, rikamunya muchindwi, ukasvava.

⁷Na kua rite ano i te Atua he huhu i te aonga ake o te ra, a ngaua iho e tera te hue, na kua maroke.

⁸Zvino zuva rakati richibuda, Mwari akaraira mhepo inopisa inobva mabvazuva; zuva rikabaya musoro waJona, akaziya, akakumbira kuti afe hake, akati, Zviri nani kwandiri kuti ndife pakuti ndirarame.

⁸Na i te whitinga o te ra kua rite mai ano i te Atua tetahi hau pumahu, he marangai; aki tonu mai te ra ki runga ki te mahunga o Hona, whakaruhi noa iho, a inoi ana mona kia mate ia, i mea ia, Pai atu i te ora te mate moku.

⁹Mwari akati kuna Jona, Zvakanaka here zvawatsamwira muchindwi? Akati, Zvakanaka kuti nditsamwe, kusvikira parufu pamene.

⁹Na ka mea te Atua ki a Hona, He pai ranei kia riri koe ki te hue? Ano ra ko ia, He pai ano kia riri ahau a mate noa.

¹⁰Jehovha akati, Iwe wakange une tsitsi nomuti wemuchindwi wausina kutamburira, kana kuumeresa, iwo, wakavapo neusiku humwe, ukapararazve neusiku humwe;

¹⁰Ano ra ko Ihowa, I manawapa koe ki te hue kihai na i mahia e koe, kihai ano i whakatupuria e koe; kotahi ano te po i tupu ake ai, kotahi ano te po i kore ai,

¹¹ko zvino ini handizaifanira kuva netsitsi neNinivhe, riya guta guru, muna vanhu vanopfuura zviuru zvine zana namakumi maviri, vasingazivi kuti ruoko rwavo rworudyi kana ruoko rwavo rworuboshwe ndorupi, uye zvipfuwo zvizhinji here?

¹¹A kaua ianei ahau e manawapa ki Ninewe ki taua pa nui, he tokomaha nei ona tangata i nga mano e ono tekau topu, he hunga kahore nei e mohio ki o ratou ringa matau, ki o ratou ringa maui, he maha ano hoki nga kararehe?
